There should be no need for a police report

There would be no need for a police report in a society where things are working.
Where everything is documented and the person can always be traced/found - if @all he is a criminal.

Not in Nigeria.

Madam stop taking it personal abeg. You rant as if a doctor ditched u once. Its shameful if you are doctor or health worker sef. You stay in US and deride your colleagues personally without considering the whole nigerian system. So you dont have nigerian doctors practising in diaspora or what. Abeg park well joor. Hundreds die from accidents on naija roads, u blame bad roads, people perish in air crashes u blame the aviation ministry, yet a patient dies u leave the same system of chaos and curruption in Nigeria and blame the poor doctor who tried his best under the circumstances. Mind u naija docs are doing well worldwide, mostly. I'm ashamed of u if u are medically trained, cos u speak like an insolent ignorant lay person. How many blood bank did u set up in ur nigerian village so that pregnant people wont die every minute in your village . Cos am sure its in ur village they die every minute. Come down and practice in nigeria lets compare. Next topic jare

Doctors in Nigeria are generally heartless
They care nothing about their patients,human lives mean nothing to them and their nurses
The reception has a standing order not to let anyone without the stipulated thousands get past the outpatient department no matter how sick
All they are after is how much they milk from the ignorant helpless citizens
A nigerian doctor will keep a patient for weeks and pour infusion ( drip) down their arms endlessly without a diagnosis
Diagnosing your illness is not a priority,many don't care about that,they are after the payment of the bills
That's why a patient with a treatable ailment will walk in with both legs and leave in a casket
Butchers many of them

In all my years living and working in the USA I have never heard of a single woman I know or a woman known by anyone I know die while having a baby but in Nigeria it's a minute by minute occurrence.
People with normal uncomplicated pregnancies die daily at childbirth in nigerian hospitals due to negligence and malpractice and the families have no recourse.


Ever wonder why these folks don't let patients in on what is ailing them?
Ever wonder why they scratch off the names on the medication bottles they give you?
Ever wonder why they get angry when a concerned doctor calls to chat about a patient in their care and course of treatment?

The same corruption,heartlessness and greed that has permeated every sector of Nigeria is also rife in the hospitals
Why should anyone be surprised?

You folks think the average roadside clinic can handle a gun shot wound or accident victim.

They can't help the patients much even if they wanted to,they don't have the necessary equipment needed to do that,neither do they have the expertise for the most part.
Even here in the USA ,severe trauma and gun shot patients don't just end up at the nearest hospital and even when they do it's just for stabilization before they are taken by mediflight to trauma centers equipped to handle such.

You folks are demanding too much from people who have no knowledge,no experience and no training in handling things like this.

Most of these doctors probably just have an MBBS and nothing more

The facilities have no in house labs,X-ray or scan machines,no blood bank let alone more sophisticated equipment needed to stabilize such patients and certainly cannot perform the life saving surgeries these patients need.

They operate with much limitation,truth be told

Most are actually glorified dispensaries

The police report is just a way to send them away to go die elsewhere and not in their facility

The most they can do is put a drip in the patients arm if they can find a visible vein and watch him die

The average Nigerian so-called hospital can't do much for you beyond malaria and appendicitis if you're lucky

Let us remember the plight of DJDOLA ,two months in a Lagos hospital and millions of naira and they couldn't even give a definitive diagnosis and used our friend for experiment ,treating him for everything else and making up diagnosis along the way while billing the patient and smiling to the bank.

That should be an eye opener

Madam, fear God ooooo. Diaris God oooo..... Some people living in the same USA have a different opinion to yours.

Pectoris:
You are so ignorant. Are you a nurse or a doctor. You're sounding like a nurse. You can't just insult Nigerian doctors like that, show them some respect. You are lucky to be where you are now, if you were in Nigeria you would have done worse.

I was expecting to see a very intelligent and informed post, esp coming from the OP herself, but the above post is neither brilliant nor an informed one. The content of your post, no offence intended, is full of ignorance and prejudice.

The National Health Law was only recently made a couple of months ago, making it unlawful to demand any paperwork before attending to emergent cases. Before then, it was not that simple. The Police would drag Hospitals and doctors into criminal cases they no nothing about. Hospitals had been listed as accomplices to crimes that happened far away from them, for merely "harboring" and treating suspected criminals with gun shhut wounds. There were many aspects to that, and while there were ethical guildlines to follow, ethics are not laws.

Once, as a juniour doctor in a small private hospital in rural Nigeria, I had finished attending to a young man, polytechnic student, who had lied in the history that the massive and deep cut he sustained was from a domestic fight with a roommate. Moments later, while outside the hospital and, I saw my patient being excorted by many armed mopol and some anti-cult agents. I enquired what the problem was, and one of them harshly said my patient was "a cultist and a criminal!". I was not prepared to walk that lonely and long way to obtaining justice in Nigeria, cos they had no right to take the patient away in that health condition. I only alerted his relations. Next time, I was more cautious in admitting certain patients.

Nobody expects a small general hospital to manage complicated trauma patients. Why then do we have specialists in trauma and emergency medicine, surgery and other spelciaties? But managing simple trauma cases, and identifying, triaging and stabilising serious cases is what every graduate doctor can and should do.

Your comment that the police report is a simple way to send patients away to die elsewhere, and that the most they do is to set up drip if visible veins were seen and watch patients die, is terribly ignorant, prejudiced, regrettable and very harsh on the hospitals and the doctors and other healthworkers. I'm curious to know if this is how you project Nigeria in the USA?

Your comments highlighting the inadequacies in expertise and equipment and policies in Nigeria, I agree with them. It isnt clear to me though, if it can be said that you have made them constructively.

"You folks" Is this addressed to your village development association in Umuakpoo or who exactly is the intended recipient of this arrogant and condescending twaddle ?

Lol.Funny thing is all the verbiage does not address the purported subject once. I can only assume the insecure biitch need to RE: announce to those who are interested where she is now.
