Pple these days can lie jst 2 mk front page! Sm1 hu d operation is been carried on is awake and d surgeon askd him to hold torch while d operation goes on? In T.B joshua's voice! ''And The both of u re liers,u Guys deserve medals: Gold for d victim and a silver for d OP''

WHAT THE F?!!!!! So you never heard of localized anesthesia?

.

Are people so unknowledgeable? There are operations that require only local anaesthesia. This means the patient will still be awake while it's going on. Why do people find this so hard to believe?? Just thank God you were not in that position.

Guy wake up, must one asleep before he/she can be operated?

It is not a joke.

1.I have been present in a MAJOR teaching hospital in this country where operations were conducted by the light of a rechargeable lantern.

2.If the patient had an epidural/spinal anesthesia....he could have held the torch for the doctor in the way he described.

You are such a bloody joke.

Whoever does not believe this can be true is either not living in nigeria or just denying the reality of the state of the nation....
The new govt must do something fast about power....to me, this is a place they can score meaningful points and quickly win the heart of the masses. Restore power and see massive generation of employment!

its possible...not all surgeries require complete anasthesia

I don't believe this story!

Why hiding the identity of the so called Lagos prominent hospital?

Is this how to clear our society of the so many ills?

@OP, U r 1 of dem! (partner in regress).

I see you've never heard of epidural. Keep quiet and stop disgracing your family.

OP move this story to joke section and notify Seun

babeface3:
lol, Ever heard of istering anesthesia on only the part of the body that needs surgery . Don't say this to someone that knows you

That means it was a very very minor surgery.

I don't believe you...

it's possible, all you need is a pain killer, one of my uncles had an operation while awake. I dunno why cos I'm not a medical person, but the thing wasn't making him sleep as its suppose to do.

Just this evening, my landlord's son was wheeled out of the theatre and he narrated his experience:

While the operation was halfway in one of the famous private hospitals in Lagos, the generator developed fault at almost 8.30pm. A light that was part of the stretcher (or the theatre bed) probably rechargeable, switched on automatically. As the operation progressed, almost at the concluding point, the light also went dead. Then a big torch light was handed to one of the aids who struggled to get a vantage point without much success.

The light was then handed to him (patient) to hold on his chest while he lay still.

The sweat running from the chief surgeon's body was almost falling into the place being operated upon. He was wheeled out at exactly 9.30.

He told me not to mention the type of operation for some reasons.

Which way Naija, can we come out of this power problem?

Lol, Tell me more jokes ooo.

Anesthetic can ruin a Mans head ooo

remsonik:
Hmmm, well its possible. I have seen a doctor wear headlamps the type hunters wear just to deliver a baby

That doctors' workplace is well equipped......delivery with headlamps.... you say. Normally, it is your torchlight or phone light inserted on your hair net, mouth, between the chin and chest....... at the same time praying that it didn't fall into whatever ......ewhew. That is why my phone is the first instrument to be sterilised after every procedure at night.

so u know nothing of anaesthesia. ppl like this make me feel sorry for education in Nigeria. This ie something even the most illiterate in the developed countries know... There is no excuse for thie type of ignorance

what is dis one saying,what line are you pls...

Possible but I strongly doubt d veracity. Surgeons often need proper lighting and I don't know how a touch light will do that. Sounds like a minor surgery involving local so just perhaps. I wouldn't call it unethical. Coming from what sounds like an expensive private practice I personally no go gree. Unless na Awojobi Clinic then it's allowed

Tales by moonlight. Wili Wili stories of those days are even more believable than this
