ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR NIGERIAN MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS

[Eze BTC]

It's high time we give attention to our medical practitioners. A whole lot of atrocities, wickedness, carelessness, and negligence perpetrated by them is appalling. Sadly, they get away with all these.

If you've been to a Nigerian hospital, you probably must have had either one funny encounter or the other. There evil are shown either in not acting fast when they're supposed to, not showing concern at all, being rude, or being terribly heartless. If you've been current with news, you may have heard Chimamanda the Nigerian novelist accuse Lagos doctor for being responsible for her son's death https://x.com/i/status/2010014207845224555 . You may have also heard the story of a woman who died because surgical scissor was abandoned in her belly after surgery https://x.com/i/status/2011016448840257810 . These are just few of the issues that happened this year. People have been complaining seriously about our medical practitioners practitioners. Personally I have heard encounter with them. I took my cousin who visited me to hospital after he fell ill badly, the nurses were reluctant to attend to us, even when we finally met the doctor, he left to discuss with someone that already gained consciousness whereas my cousin was almost giving up in the hospital. I had to scream and threatened the doctor that if anything happens to my cousin that I will slam them with law suit before he started attending to us. I have also heard from friends how they lost their parents due to medical negligence and carelessness and I am sure anyone reading this may have had one or two encounters with them.

The funny thing is that these people, when they relocate abroad, they are nice, professional and tolerant with patients. I wonder why they act the way they do in Nigeria and get away with it. Our government is not even taking them serious. So sad.

 People are so fucked in this country, pardon my words anyways but then that's the truth cause for the past years, many good medical practitioners have left the country to find greener pasture elsewhere due to how bad the medical system have become, poor health care centers, poor facilities and poor salaries so I don't blame them for not settling for less, the government really failed us especially in the medical sector so what we have left are few good practitioners and more quacks.

 It's really scary cause a country without a good medical sector is doomed, I just feel bad for poor people who can't afford to go abroad for proper medications, how would they coup if they have serious illnesses that requires the attention of a good practitioners, more reasons why we need to stand up to the government to put things in other, anyways you should move this topic to politics and society before it's been moved to off topic.

I get you bro. But then, medical sector is not the only sector facing that. Every sector in Nigeria is doing poorly. It's no longer news that Nigeria is not treating any sector well which is very bad.

However, it is never a reason for them to capitalize on in order exhibit medical negligence. If we are to justify that, them we have no reason to call out lecturers for sleeping with students for grades, we have no reason to call out police officers for molesting innocent youth etc because they're not also treated fairly. Infact, they get more terrible treatment.

Even with private hospitals, where they are decently paid, they still misbehave. Chimamanda's son didn't die in a hospital where workers are terribly paid.

Our medical practitioners are evil in Nigeria and they need to stop that. They're killing people with their behavior. They contribute to most of the reasons people die hospitals.

Most medical doctors, more especially those working in the government hospitals don't take their work serious and even when their is emergency they seem not to border themselves. Life is precious and more precious than money. Nigeria doctors should take life very important and should remain their foremost interest before money, when you save somebody's life , either the person concerned or their people can look for the money before he or she can be discharged from the hospital, but if the doctor allows a patient to die , it is purely an act of wickedness.

Nigeria's medical doctors don't do well here in Nigeria, because it seems the government does not recognize their services, they are not well paid even their allowances are not paid as at when due, and these are people that are saving lives. Nigeria medical doctors are not always happy with the way the government is treating them and that is the more reason the government cannot even talk to them because the government is not playing their own part.

In abroad, doctors are well paid and the government knows the importance of doctors and other medical workers, so when Nigeria medical doctors go abroad, they work with all their mind and does not compromise with their work. When you misbehave the government will definitely withdraw your medicine certificate because as a medical doctor, you have no reason why you will not work well and deliver your job appropriately.

Nigeria federal government should learn how to treat medical doctors well, and ensure to pay them well so that they will work without grudges. They are their to save lives, so they should not be owed and government should value them.

This is a big issue happening now in some of both government and private health sectors in Nigeria.  Some of our medical personnel in government settings are busy building And contributing to their own private hospitals while neglecting Govt hospitals and vandalising government property, can you imagine someone is in serious condition, nurses are not serious with their roles and the doctor will called to come and intervane and he/she will be around lately which I heard in some countries you can't late for a minute or otherwise you will be fired,

Aside of nurses and doctors always going to strike for a long period, all of this illegal act possible because our government isn't care about our health.

It is the insolence that is inherent in some of us that has snowballed into some of this funny behaviors we have in our general hospitals. It's as if there should be a strick pattern to used in our hospitals for nurses and doctors to follow and do their duty, the level of negligence in the hands of our medical practitioners is getting out of hand. For this same issue concerning negligence, some Nigerians have abandoned the general hospitals, and are mostly going for private hospitals, at least they can get some level of human treatment their but it's still not absolute as they also have  their bad side too.

The Nigeria government is so bad that they don’t even care to fund the Nigeria Health care facilities, or rather their investment towards the development of this healthcare system is very poor and bad . Have been to a facilities were to access the pharmaceutical system was so bad that common paracetamol was very hard to access . And I will like to encourage the Nigeria health care system to improve more on their funding towards the health system.

Nigerian medical practitioners are fun of displaying lackadaisical behavior when it comes to handling patients brought to their facilities, they will see emergency cases that they ought to attend to and safe the person first and be demanding for deposits and if you don't have the money  they won't attend to the person and will watch your loved one die because of deposits.

Some of this medical practitioners are very careless when it comes to surgical operations in bid of hurrying they forget to remove thread or needle from the patient at times. My cousin went to be operated Upon two years ago and after the operation few weeks later the place that was operated started swallowing up and we had to rush him to another hospital where it was discovered that they left a tiny thread in his body. Nigeria government is so bad that they didn't equip the hospital we have because the politicians have money to fly overseas to treat themselves and leave the poor masses to die due to inadequate medical facilities in the country.

I have read through various comments, however we must look at it also from the part of the health practitioners, i really don’t blame them most at times for any death or ill treatment that patients get at times because it is sometimes not their fault, most of the health practitioners are willing to work just that most times they lack good equipments and an enabling environment, if you take a tour round some hospitals you will feel for some of this health practitioners, sometimes as common as consumables like gloves, face mask, etc ain’t available and they literally have to risk their lives just to attend to the patients, i know how many doctors died during the Covid-19 era while trying to save peoples lives due to poor quarantine centers, most times no power supply in the hospital to carry out procedures, there was a time that lots of babes died in the incubator in one of the reputable hospitals because of poor power supply, so you see we can’t completely blame the health practitioners, one can’t save others life at the detriment of his/her own life.

The news mostly pick out the short comings of this health practitioners, they don’t ever see there sacrifices and contributions to humanity, being a health worker in Nigeria isn’t easy, imagine working so hard and receiving peanuts, sometimes the government even owe them, so how do they want them to give their best and cope with catering for their families needs knowing the high expectations that family want from this health practitioners simply because they feel health practitioners are well paid whereas the reverse is the case, i blame the government any time i hear of any form of negligence in the hospital because if everything was put in place there will have been good and improved health care delivery across the nation.
