When he got there, did you see the nurses calling any porter? Did they seem to you like they even cared? Who told you there were no porters at the FMC Jabi? That's a big hospital.

If porters or nursing assistants were on ground, she doesn't need to call them before they do their work. The issue is that there's shortage of staff in most government hospitals and the hospital in question obviously has management problem, thereby worsening their own case.

How many times are we gonna read this lie on this forum

If that was what transpired then I think Air Peace need to be sanctioned. Why resell tickets at higher prices to an airplane that had been booked online? That's corruption and If the owner of Air peace wants his business to continue thriving,then he has to take drastic measures to prevent such sharp practices by his staff.

Gen Z all the way!

olisasegun:
It is the duty of everyone working in the hospital to assist patient during emergencies. It doesn't matter your designation when there is emergency you must help in anyway to make sure the patient receives speedy and appropriate care. Moving trauma patient is especially important and the doctors on duty must be involved.

Do you expect the WOMAN doctor to lift the victim off the car and into the ward That's the job of hospital porters! The yeye man videoing the incident was even in a better position to carry the victim but he was busy trying to score some cheap points even when the lady provided a trolley.

The hospital management and government are to blame in this case for not employing enough hands to run the hospital--- a problem common in our public hospitals. The lady is not at fault abeg!

efemena5050:
u always see idiots tht will want to justify rubbish everytime....did they force them to work.....If the work tire them they should.... quit........y remain there and occupy space ....

Blame the government and hospital management who fail to put things in order by employing enough hands and establishing and maintaining the right protocols to ensure smooth running of the hospitals. There's division of labour even in emergency cases! That is why a porter can not ister treatment to the victims neither is the doctor expected to carry the victims into the ward. Something is fundamentally wrong with the management of that hospital and that's lack of sufficient manpower --- a problem also common in other government hospitals in Nigeria!

somethinggood:
What is the duty of a nurse in an Accident and Emergency unit of a federal medical centre if i may ask u?

I pray may Nigeria not happen to you. Nonsense!

Definitely not to lift a hefty victim off the car and onto stretchers and then pushing into the ward. Porters are responsible for that job not nurses nor doctors. Imagine a female nurse or doctor being expected to lift such a victim!

Let's learn how to channel our anger to the right people (ie government) who fail to employ enough hands to man our hospitals!

Blitzking:

Absolutely..Dr's are not porters..bit these days dey wan turn them to Dr's.. nurses..porters...even cleaners..lab attendant...orderly etc..very annoying..if they can help its out of comion not a duty

Exactly my point

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

How did you arrive at the conclusion that it is lack of staff that made them to not bring the guy out of the car?

Lifting the victims out of the car and onto stretchers is the duty of porters or nursing assistants and not that of the doctor or nurse. From the clip, no porters were on ground to do that, so you don't expect the doctor (or nurse) -- who's a woman to carry the victims.

souldeep:
From your long quote trying to analyse dessemination of duties, I think the victim should've been left for death. Since it's not the duty of the samaritan that brought him to the hospital to do so.
Bro. Have you ever visited most of these govt. health facilities to see the lackadaisical attitude of staffs? While trying to draw govt attention on the need to employ more hands, this act should be totally condemn please.

In accident cases like this, the PORTERS are responsible for carrying the victims into wards. Now where there are no porters on ground, what do you expect? The doctors and nurses, most of whom are women, are not the right people to start lifting the victims into stretchers and carrying them into wards for treatment.

If you had male doctors or nurses, they could help out of comion, not their duties! But with biased and lopsided appointments, most Nigerian hospitals are filled with female staff who can only do little.

Image123:
Good, but it's a national case. We're so used to dealing with scapegoats instead of also solving the underlying issues.

Exactly!

One of the underlying issues is shortage of staff which cause the few ones on ground to burn out readily because hospitals run 24/7. This is aside the poor pay they collect!

Honestly, it is not the nurse's duty to lift the accident victims off the car and into the hospital ward.

That incident underscores the gross shortage of staff in our public hospitals. JOHESU and other groups have been calling for increased employment of staff into our hospitals but government and hospital management have maintained deaf ears over the years.

Go to many of these government hospitals, you'll see that there's a total shortage of both clinical and non-clinical staff in these hospitals, yet when incidents like the one in question happens, the few staff on ground are expected to become superhumans and do even jobs they are not employed to do.

I don't blame the nurse! Government should devise a means to increase employment of staff into these hospitals! You don't just employ a few hands and expect them to burn themselves out on top of the chicken change they're getting paid.

PantShifter:


What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

He cheated on his wife so she also has a right to cheat

Says who? You guys should stop comparing men to women when it comes to infidelity. African men are allowed to have mistresses and concubines outside their marriages. That's one of the few pecks they enjoy for all the responsibilities they're expected to shoulder in the traditional marriage setting. Until men and women have 50-50 responsibilities in providing for the family and stuff, it is wrong to expect equal fidelity from a man and his wife.

Ttipsy:
two of u should just kiss so everything will just end

lol

Gross!

benuejosh:
While it may be true that they maybe temporarily displaced which is something i feel for them, we should be mindful of how we post things in other not to instigate more crisis.

Those people were singing a Catholic hymn in Tiv language worshipping God. Whatever interpretation that guy gave to that song that is WRONG.

Again, it is more like they were even asked to sing so they could be recorded.

It is also completely wrong for whosoever decided to use them for content.

Yours is a clear case of living in denial!

Continue wishing that the massacres in Benue is not a reality. It is what it is!

Meanwhile, look for the next thread about IPOB and Igbos and continue mazturrbating over Igbo affairs while your generation in Benue are wiped out by the herders!

Somebody needs to remind Wike that healthcare in the FCT is fast collapsing right under his watch! From the primary to secondary and then tertiary healthcare facilities all are collapsing at an alarming rate!

How some of these leaders think is what I don't know. Does he think he can just abandon a critical sector like health All the road projects are useless if the people can't go about their daily businesses in good health due to poor healthcare system!

At this rate, it is looking like Wike has a special hatred for healthcare practitioners and healthcare system generally. That's the only explanation to his deafening silence in the face of a deteriorating healthcare infrastructure in FCT. It's a terrible situation!

The honourary doctorate and professorial titles truly undermine the integrity of academic and professional ones and I agree with the GTEC for banning their use.

Reminds me of an incident that occurred during my internship. A sickle cell patient on ission kept crying the whole night of her ission because other painkillers istered to her couldn't relief her pains because she was heavily addicted to PTZ.

She sent her younger sister to me to sell her the drug but I insisted on seeing the prescription from the doctor. The little girl came to me like 3times with the same request, begging me to sell her the drug but I stood my ground. Then after a while, I decided to go closer to the patient's bedside to see what was actually wrong with her only for me to discover that she was a chronic addict to the drug. In fact, she had wounds all over her body due to several injections of the drug.

The doctor having noticed the addiction problem, placed her on diclofenac and instructed the nurses never to ister PTZ on her. She was billed for rehabilitation once her current pains subsided. Thank goodness I went closer to see things for myself. I was already having pity on the girl and could have sold the PTZ to them to calm her down for the night. I now suggested to the nurses that they ister low dose oral tramadol to help curtail the withdrawal effects of the PTZ until she was stable and ready for rehab.

This one no concern benuejosh. Even if the herdsmen kill his entire generation in Benue, he'll be too afraid to talk. But once the news has to do with Igbos or IPOB, ehennnn, that is where he flexes his muscles!

Op, it seems you don't know that non-medical health workers in Nigerian hospitals are usually made the scapegoat when anything goes bad in the hospital. It is not only Nurses, it goes round all health workers aside medical doctors.

MockingBird:
Back then in Uniben, me and one of my guy tried starting up a campus fellowship. We called ourselves Pastors and used lecture theatres in Pharmacy and Medicals for fellowship meetings. We usually rented speakers, microphone, keyboard and some students ed us.

I think the maximum number we got then was around 30 students. After service, we usually went back to our hostels tired and shared the offerings and tithes between ourselves after removing the money for renting of speakers, microphone and keyboards. If we had grown the fellowship and became GOs, imagine the stream of income it would have become today.

I stopped within a year after my conscience pricked me. So what Abel Damina is saying is 100% true....I subscribe to giving offerings which is a free will thing but you see that tithe thing...Pastors should tell me if they are levites.

Shey na una been dey disturb us that year for inside pharmacy lecture theatres abi? One of una for collect for my hand one day if no be say I calm myself down.

Una go see say person dey read but na that time una go carry megaphone enter. Very annoying people!

pocohantas:


Very old. I am a relic. I use a walking stick and you can hear my bones cranking when I walk.
But I am thankful for long life. 🥰

RealityKings1:

Abi o. Maybe she's just pulling my legs.

pocohantas:


Nice to know it is cruise. It means you have another shot at attracting a sweet 18. I was 18 22years ago. You see? I am not your spec.

Are you serious?! Hmmmmm... That means you're 40? That's quite old o

pocohantas:


I am not you spec and I woke up thankful for that. ❤️❤️❤️

Don't mind my posts here o, Na cruise we dey catch o. You know say I love you my sweet poco. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Until we have a salary structure that pays men higher in the civil service for instance, or men enjoy all the benefits of running private businesses and government contracts, it is grossly unfair to expect men to still shoulder family financial burdens all alone!

Men in the western world have since seen the imbalance and adjusted accordingly in this era of gender equality. That is why many of them hardly get married these days nor spend lavishly on women. Only Nigerian men still allow themselves get tricked into living a life of servitude to women all in the name of marriage.

The worst is that same Nigerian men have been stripped of most of the traditional benefits men enjoyed in marriage eg polygamy, marriage to younger women, having concubines and mistresses without being questioned by their wives, having their wives cook good meals for them and having sex with their wives whenever they want, this is even while they still slave their lives away in the name of providing for the family.

Anyway for me personally, I'll be traditional to the core in my marriage but I'll be traditional all-round. No cherry-picking!

DeeScan:


Hope say your money long , you go buy pampers and baby food tire oo ..

Poco poco my loooveee!

pocohantas:


Thanks for your concern.
Hopefully you don't age, lest you get reminded.
🙂🙂🙂

*I wanna live forever young*

pocohantas:


Forget about my aging. It is not my sugar daddy ranting online and obsessing over women's age and marital status. That should tell you something, don't you think so?

I'm reminding you about your aging because I care

pocohantas:


Oh please. Suddenly she is an evening newspaper? Whereas that topic was about morning newspapers. 🤨🤨🤨

You talk about marrying a girl from a poor home and it is only broke men that marry financially stable women. Care to share how much you earn that you think you can manage a wife from a struggling dependent family? Do you know anyone that has done it? Because I do and I know it is not fun. Honestly I think you and your colleagues are obsessed with your opinions that you somehow think it is superior logic. How about you put it into practise? let's see if you won't be here to cry like your senior married colleagues. I really want you to put it into practise.

My sugar daddy is excellent. He is still with me. While you have gone round 3 good women.

The topic wasn't specific about any age group.

Don't worry, very soon I go share my wedding invite to my sweet 18. And rest assured I'll be very fine and capable of shouldering her financial needs and those of her family. At least I'll know that I'm providing for the kind of woman I desire. Not evening newspapers like you that would nag someone to death and still expect to be provided for.

Try marry that your sugar daddy o, age is not your side nne
