Pls be wise!!!
My heart grieves so much for Ifedolapo, the corper who died in camp days ago. That a simple act of negligence could cost so much. I pray God gives her family the fortitude to bear the loss.
There are some doctors that can not have a good future. This is not a curse though. Some medical practitioners have sown seeds of evil into their future, such that will affect generations yet unborn. I have seen it all; those who became doctors just for the title and cheap honor, those who joined the profession by force or coercion from people and the true ones who became doctors as a literate confirmation of their nurturing nature.
I remember my 3-day camp experience. There was a certain morning, i think the 2nd day how i was in pains and i was told they had no analgesic apart from paracetamol to give. I remember how I walked back and forth painfully to my luggage to give the doctor an ampoule of injection from the ones I had brought along to camp as if i knew such situation could arise. There was this guy as well, a commissioner's son who was asthmatic and needed treatment but couldn't get any till he called home to be redeployed immediately. He was so much in need of help but all he got was a bed space.
I remember the scene very well, how he laid helpless on the bed for hours, his inhaler cluthed in his hands as that was all he had to save his life. No IV line, no fluids, no 1st aid or aminophylline* administered, just a helpless boy who laid there on the bed. I wasn't going to let that happen to me though. Ofcourse, there were doctors available but they just couldn't do anything on the basis that they were out of supplies. The saddest thing is they don't even give a hoot if you die or live.
Why this Lady's case got to me was that no one made enough attempt to save her. How can you say someone was pretending to be ill just to avoid parade, then out of your evil, non challant attitude, you neglect her to her supposed pretense? Why would you even be a doctor in the 1st place if you could not be sensitive to people's feelings? They coulda taken her vital signs, a simple act of care that would have changed alot, given her 1st aid at least before placing her on observation.
It was when they not now saw her calling home before they took her serious and gave an injection no one knows, meaning that alternative was available all along and something could have been done earlier. She now started reacting again and still they ignored her. Pls why would any right thinking medical personnel ignore such if not witchcraft!
What if she was family to anyone of them? Someone now called again to speak to the doctor on call who refused to talk when he knew the atrocities he had committed. No one wanted to take responsibility for such a case out of control. When someone is irresponsible, there is no limit to how stupid they can act. I know such wack doctors who will tell you they know what they are doing and they're sure of what they've given irrespective of how you feel. The killer doctors and nurses. They are so proud, wicked, insensitive and unaccessible. They never give room for dialogue or allow feedback from the patient. The all knowing ones you can not try to converse with lest you teach them their jobs even at the expense of your life.
I know a couple of them i have had encounters with; those who would get angry when you ask to know what they want to prescribe. So what if you're a doctor, does that automatically make you omni-knowest? How can you give quality treatment without knowing a patient's history when you are so uptight and arrogant with a god complex? If you are a doctor and you are reading this, pls change some attitudes.
When your patient is asking questions, they not trying to teach you your job. Yes, we all know you went to medical school and have an idea of how tough it was. But you don't have to let your patients be the recipient of all the harshness melted on you by inconsiderate consultants and superiors. Learn to be accessible. Listen to your patient and be sensitive to be a care giver, not just for what you will be paid. For every life lost under your care that you could've easily saved, you will be held accountable for.
And to nurses, they are even worse. I have experienced them in all forms as well. Some of them are just witches in uniforms. So cruel and hostile. Imagine you having this fear whenever a certain nurse is on call. There are those who will 1st insult you for being ill before reluctantly carrying out the doctor's orders, they would keep complaining that you're stressing them by your incessant complaints if you are not relieved of your agony.
The religious fanatics give you this feeling that you should not infect them (by whatever myopic way of thought) with your possessed spirit, as your illness is spiritual as they hardly fall ill in their family.
And lastly, the medical mishaps; who would rather sit comfortably to enjoy a gossip or watch a scratched dvd rather than attend to you while you writhe in pain. They are so rude to the point that if you try to send someone or give a reminder about a delayed medication, they get so angry, insinuating you're trying to teach them their job.
Pls don't let anyone's act of foolery send you to an early grave. If you get uncomfortable with any medical personnel, pls cry out, know and expose their identity. These guys don't really care who dies or lives.
If you are to embark on on journey, ensure you have a first aid kit especially if you have a known medical condition. Don't assume anyone will cater adequately for you where you're going. No one really cares!
Learn to speak out especially if receiving treatment from a new doctor or hospital where they do not know your history. Ask questions, inquire to know their prescriptions as it is your life. The true ones will gladly explain to you and why you need what at that period. They have nothing to hide, its pure professionalism.
Only wizards and witches get provoked with such and leave you at their mercy to use as experiments. They make you beg to be treated and make you realise how much of a favour they are doing by attending to you. They are everywhere. Monsters!
Don't fall a victim. Better to be termed difficult and problematic than allow anyone's act of negligence destroy your precious life.
And to every sweet, responsible medical personnel out there, thank you for being n extraordinary life saver. You can never be truly rewarded by mortals, only through God's grace. For the sensitivity of this post, I won't mention names. But pls know I hold you in high esteem in my heart.
Love, Aador®.
