Imanuelle: If a facility is filled. First aid on the floor doesn't cut it. It probably means that the capacity of the healthcare workers, equipment, lab services etc has been reached. Would it have been better if she was placed on the floor and there were no nurses available to see her or Doctors to care for her, or even no lab facilities for her care?? We do more harm by providing inadequate care. We need to see the big picture. You can't use plaster to fix axe cuts. 3 Likes |

Am not defending the hospital mgt board and the way this particular case was handled. But. The students should know that the university doesnt have any agreement as regards to preference in handling their students. The university has its own clinic or health center. This is where student medical fees are channel to. The students always have this nagging attitude when it comes to public utilities. This death could have be prevented if cordial approach was applied. in a situation where there is no bed space, the medical team will make appropriate referral. The student should hold the university responsible for not equipping their clinic despite huge allocations for that. 3 Likes 1 Share |

People surprise me in this country, where were the health personnel meant to keep the lady ![]() In their mouths ![]() ![]() Besides, it shouldn't be the students rushing her to UPTH, there's a reason why they have a medical centre in the university. The resuscitation should've started there. Though it pains me how we lose young and great minds in this country, I think we direct our anger at the wrong quarters! These same students protesting would gather and cheer a politician that visits their school and forget that the doctors and nurses you're tongue-lashing now can't expand the hospitals, they can't buy extra beds, they wouldn't have rejected the patients that came earlier and filled the bed spaces! We need to learn to channel our grievances to the right quarters! Instead of protesting in the hospital environment, go to the government house and scatter everything there and get them to truly hear your pain! RIP Kelechi, it's a pity your life was cut short but you live on in the memories of your loved ones. 6 Likes |

DrObum: They did not attend to her. No bed space means we cant treat her cos no space to place her. The doctors there dont treat if they have to give a bed. No bed no treatment. They only treat out patients but if you have to be addmited then you must get a bed before they give you panadol. If it takes 3 years to get a bed your treatment stats in 3 years time. Unless they changed yesterday They could have done something. My mom died in that same hospital. Evil doctors and demonic nurses. I know what I saw there while caring for my mom. Believe me, many of those doctors there are wicked and full of pride. That was how I lost my mom to one of the whoring proud doctor there and stupid dumb nurses on duty in her ward. My problem with the students action is that they are denying fellow country people access to doctors. There are people in that hospital that need doctor attention and chasing the doctors away will only affect other Patients 1 Like |

bushdoc9919: She wasn't dead on arrival from every source. And the distance from her hostel to UPTH is less than an airport's runway, UPTH is closer than the school clinic because there's a link gate from uniport to UPTH. I still believe the nurses had a lackadaisical attitude, they wouldn't act sane for family. On prompt, the students would have arranged more than 20 foams that would rise higher than a hospital bed, that's if the nurses were willing to evetry.ry 1 Like |

Imanuelle: And you would want them to bring in dirty foam that would contaminate the casualty? Also....hospital bed is not like your student foam. It needs to be a certain thickness so that we can do BLS and ALS properly. And we still do not know what she was suffering from. And anyway.....if there was no space....there was no space. You could have forced your way in, and still not gotten properly attended to because the doctor is treating several injuries,and several hypertensive and diabetic emergencies. Sorry....but unless you have proof there was space....there was no space. Or do you want your patient to have poor attention? The issue is that we do not have enough properly equipped hospitals in this country. 1 Like |

Imanuelle: And you ignored my argument about hospital beds being different from ordinary foam. Ah well....I leave by telling you to put pressure on your government to make sure health care is well funded in this country...facility wise...not salary wise. No space means no space. I am sorry....but that is the way it is. Unless you want your patient to just have drip with no one able to attend to her because there are so many other bad cases...some worse that need attention. You Nigerians .....ah well....know that I am not defending bad practice....but I am lamenting the fact that we have to work with limited facilities, and limited funding. If you don't want to believe that.....that's your business. You cannot expect miracles from zero. We are not gods. Good evening. 2 Likes |

Bjergtrolde:Bro, you transfer a patient that you've received, resuscitated or atleast attempted to resuscitate and probably initiated management. There's no report that they received her sef! My point is, the whole situation was wrong. She's a candidate for their medical centre, where the doctors should've started the resuscitation andd be in a better position to transfer her and ensure that she is received by a facility ready and able to give care. 1 Like |

Bjergtrolde: Half knowledge is bad. Triaging is applicable where you have sudden mass casualties like in a road traffic accident involving tens of people. You don't triage when patients are coming one after the other in a medical emergency unit. You don't know how often those in the A&E have transferred to the ward and discharged other patients (and still have no bed space), so it's better we all shut up and stop acting like we can do better or that we know all. 3 Likes |

Imanuelle: No sir. That's not what he means. The hospital is meant to be as sterile as possible and it's usually frequently disinfected so bringing such a mattress will introduce new breeds of microorganisms which will be dangerous for other patients with open wounds or a low immunity (many of such are in the emergency). Also, hospital beds are not like the regular beds, they are leathery and can't absorb fluid so you can see it's not as easy as it seems. 2 Likes |

The students have every right to be angry but going around malhandling d medical staff is not the way forward A look at the building would betray the endemic rot in d hospital(the algae infected walls) How would destroying hospital facilities bring back the dead. When doctors complain about poor work facilities , people are quick to castigate them and say they r too greed. Now we bare the brunt The students should go to the their vc and complain. Or beta still the politicians that ate their money UPTH belongs to everybody but does not belong to UNIPORt students alone. They have a health centre or sick bay. Denying other sick people access to doctors is by there protest is wicked RIP to the dead 3 Likes |
