Sources gathered that 19 out of the 20 victims were members of the UBTH chapter of JOHESU, the arm of health workers who are currently on strike and have placed most government hospital facilities under lock-and-key. They were said to be on their way to a social function at Auchi.
Thankfully, this is not the story at ISTH, IRRUA EDO STATE, as the hospital management along with the doctors who have been at their duty post for the past one month duration of the strike, have kept the hospital running at optimal levels.
The Presidents of the association of resident doctors, the NMA Edo Central zone, medical and dental consultant association, ISTH chapter, alongside the hospital management have all called out their members to assist at the emergency room.
The Doctors as usual, have all swung into action to cater for the casualties while trying to access the locked theatre for those who would need surgery.
More than half of the casualties have varying degrees of fractures and dislocation. While a few of the dislocations have been reduced under conscious sedation methods, others may need the orthopaedic, plastic surgeons attention in the theatre under control by the anesthetic surgeons.
We thank all doctors for coming out, even those that are not on call-duty. Indeed, this underscores the statement that "BEING A DOCTOR IS NOT JUST A TITLE, IT IS A MENTALITY"
This story is an exclusive from the secretariat of the association of resident doctors, ISTH chapter.

ReplyDeleteOK. Kudos to those JOHESU members that helped doctors at that time, they were just doing their work. Kudos to these doctors helping JOHESU members now, they're just doing their work.

Lord have mercy. Where did doctors forget their ethics and conscience? Did they get the permission of these patients before up loading their pictures to the Whole world? What happened to the ethics of confidentiality? Truth be told, 90% of Nigerian doctors we know cannot be so swift and empathetic in emergencies when there is full scale of service, talkless of when they are alone. Why using human misfortune for media propaganda. Even if they did that, they have only done their job, so why seeking public sympathy? "May God grant the accident victims a quick and holistic recovery IJN amen. Most doctors are educated but not civilised.
ReplyDeleteAh!! Are you kidding. I don't see any identifiable pictures here.I believe this a picture of the emergency room with casualties. Trying to be smart by half?
