Most Nigerian doctors especially the house officers no nothing but won't humble themselves for the skilled nurses to put them through thereby making the patients blame the nurses when things go wrong since the nurses are there 24hrs with the patients 3 Likes |

Terrible! A professor in UCH ibadan killed my dad, he took him from uch private suite to a private hospital where he did a prostate enlargement surgery with bad equipment he ruptured the poor mans kidney/liver and after some days my dad went into coma where he eventually died. This man took about 2 million naira. It’s been a major blow to my family till date and this is supposed to be the best urologist in Nigeria who ignored standard practices due to his love for money. May he never know peace! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Around 2016, I had a skin condition and decided to go to a teaching hospital in Ogbomoso. When it was my turn to see the doctor, I met some group of doctors and some college students (they were doctors too but still undergoing training as they all sat and observing the senior doctors). After series of questions I was asked to UnCloth that they will like to see my lower limbs. Everybody including the students started looking me and observing my reaction. That day, I felt so bad because I thought they were just using me as an object of expression without seeking my consent. 1 Like |

Generally Nigeria Health Sector is a mess. My 16 years old daughter was sick last year, she was referred to Federal Medical Centre Abeokuta from our Private Hospital. On getting there, my wife told me they dont have anything, if you need drug the doctors will be the one to direct you to where to get the drugs, you dont bring the drugs they wont attend to you. After spending some months there she get better and go back home for monthly appointment at the hospital. Later they told my wife that she will need one surgery to undertake for her final treatment. Then when I was around I took her for that appointment one day, I met with the doctors and ask some questions regards the surgery, the doctor direct me to one hospital and told me they just did it for some kid some weeks back, one is 10 years and one is 12 years. I went to the hospital, they told me it will cost me 3.2m. The when I get back home I went online to research about the surgery and I find out that the surgery can not be done for age lesser than 18 years, then I was confused, because of this I make an appointment for her in the country where I was residing did 3 months visiting visa for her to come and do the surgery. On getting to the country I took her to the hospital for her appointment and they did series of test and xray, then give us another appointment. Then finally on the day of appointment they lecture both of us that the surgery can not be done until she is 18 years, because it will affect her in the future if they did it now. They retained her appointment and told me she should come back after two years for the surgery. And Nigeria doctors already done same surgery for 10 years and 12 years old kid without telling them what it may cause them and their parents in the future. May God save us all. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Thank God for doctors. Saving lives every second of the day even against all the hate, abuses and hunger! Only a doctor will see the need to perform surgery with phone light and profuse sweating because of the passion to save lives. Only a doctor will go about begging for blood from the bank and begging to bill drugs to folders to save lives. Only a doctor will work 24hrs and still be smiling the next morning as though it's just routine. Only a doctor will leave his house at night even when not on duty to save lives. Only a doctor will use his money to treat a patient and hope for the best. Only a doctor will still have to treat a patient even when they can't afford basic investigations. Only a doctor will finally take the blame for all the mistakes coming from the lab, pharmacy and the ward. Only a doctor put himself at risk to be the first point of contact regardless of the disease. Only a doctor will save your life when you present half dead after you have been messed up by the numerous labs, pharmacies and shrines you have subjected yourself to. Only a doctor will be struggling save your life even when your relatives have given up on you in the hospital bed. Only a doctor can save your life last last and when he can't he just hopes the Priest can save your soul! God bless all the doctors out there saving lives for nothing but a cup of coffee and a thank you smile. 17 Likes 1 Share |

They are coded flirts and perverts. Had cataract surgery 2 years ago in a missionary hospital and uncle codedly insisted I should be moved to a private ward while the other patients remained in the general female ward. Thanks to my mums ever sensitive nature, it could had been something else. Asides this.... The hospital services in general was topnotch and the other Doctors where awesome. 3 Likes |

This would probably be lost in the numerous unflattering reviews but I want to thank Nigerian doctors for being so amazing I had appendicitis in 2016 and went to federal medical centre in Umuahia. I was treated with respect, nurses ensured I wasn't in pain. The doctors removed my appendix as an emergency and I was transferred to a medical ward where I received my antibiotics exactly on time. I am prone to scarring but the surgery was so perfectly done that the scar has disappeared. I am well appreciative of the services provided by the doctors, nurses, lab staff, porters at federal medical centre umuahia. Good job guys! A lot of Nigerians go to hospitals with a massive chip on their shoulder, then wonder why they get an attitude. Lose that chip, my brother and sister. Respect our hospital staff, they are working to keep us all alive in a highly disadvantaged system. 15 Likes 5 Shares |

magicminister: A friend of mine lost her mum to Doctors' carelessness. The mum was diabetic and came down with "2go". She was admitted and administered with a drip that had glucose in it. The woman went comatose and died shortly after. These days, whenever my mum falls ill, I follow her to the hospital and I don't fail to sound it aloud that she has HBP, lest they prescribe drugs that would do her more harm than good. 2 Likes |

Grupo: You just spoke my mind. I have been having stomach problems for the past 15 years now. None of them seems to know what's wrong with me... They keep treating typhoid fever because test results shows typhoid. Some of them are even saying is psychological. I met one long time ago and he gave up on me. I just wanna travel out for a better treatment. I will save up for that. 3 Likes |

April 27th/28th, I was called that dad had stroke around 3am. I rushed him to the private hospital and the doctor purposely delayed by ranting that he hasn't been coming for drugs (even after they almost killed mum about two years ago). Now get me straight, we returned there because of NHIS and I helped in the long run. Dad was snoozing and snoozing without response. No fan or generator so I had to keep fanning him while my brother dabs his body with a wet handkerchief. This happened the first two nights and the second night, I saw what I've never seen in my lifetime even though I'm still young. The doctor was sitting with a friend, taking BARON! We've been asking for a referral and he is right there taking Baron on a Sunday afternoon instead of attending to us! In the morning, we all threatened to destroy the hospital as a friend once lost his father there and another his brother not too long ago. He later gave us the referral to UCH Ibadan about 10am after many delay. Dad died at UCH about 1:27pm. If he had died in that stupid hospital, you could have heard all these stories earlier, maybe in the newspaper, online, on blogs or all of the above. RIP dad. 3 Likes |

magicminister: Thank you brother. I am also a champion for better economy. But it's obvious that the govt of the day has other priorities outside fighting poverty. They are fighting Yahoo boys, Corruption and HATE speech as if these are the reasons Nigerians are poor. The Legislature and Executive in this country sef. 1 Like |
