Nurse Refuses To Treat Accident Victim At Federal Medical Centre, Abuja (16664 Views)
(1) Go Down)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b5wWs-HVFQ A shocking viral video has ignited outrage across Nigeria, showing a tense confrontation between a Good Samaritan and a nurse at a Federal Medical Centre in Abuja. After bringing a critically injured accident victim to the Accident & Emergency unit, the citizen is met with shocking indifference, as a nurse is caught on camera saying, "It's not my work" and refusing to help. This video highlights serious questions about medical negligence, the Nigerian healthcare system, and the duty of care owed to patients in a moment of crisis. 3 Likes |

Is the good Samaritan willing to give the hospital his identity in case no one else shows up for the accident victim? Nigerian database is too poor to hospitals treating accident victims in certain situations. Many of you might claim that I am heartless. But isn't the nurse also a human? What if the victim fails to pay after treatment and the hospital mandates the nurse to pay the bill? What if police later gets involved and detains the girl when no one else shows up for the victim? In Nigeria, some legal actions have been criminalised and poor people are the victims. For a nurse to boldly refuse to treat the victim, even when she knows she is being recorded, she must have had many bitter experiences in such cases. ADDED: Those that attack me and wish that I get involved in a road accident have not been able to answer the question in my first paragraph. Their sentiments render their brains inactive. I never said that an accident victim should not be treated. The point is that whoever takes the victim to a hospital should give the hospital his or her identity in case no one else shows up for the victim. Anyways, whatever you wish me shall befall you in 100 folds unless you point out where I wish anybody bad. I laugh at those who have quoted me and said I may have a road traffic accident on my next road trip. I had an accident in the year 2020. The moment it happened, I could not sit or stand. I sustained serious spinal injuries. I was rushed to a federal hospital around 3:30 PM. Something like a cast, maybe POP is the name, was applied to my thoracolumbar region, and an injection was given to me. Both the POP and the injection were bought by my uncle from a pharmacy outside the hospital. Then, I was left on a bed along a age at the emergency unit. Only God knows why we met that bed there. No other bed along that age. After about 2 or 3 hours, my uncle complained and questioned why I was still left along the age. The medical record staff he spoke to called security to bounce him out of the hospital. Another accident victim was brought in around 11:00 PM. Around 3:00 AM, the relatives of that one angrily took him out to look for another hospital. I remained along the age, groaning in pains until after 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM the next day because there was no network for the hospital to open a folder for me. So many other pathetic events followed. Though I didn't lose sensation, no defecation and no urge for it for at least one week, I stopped having erection until after many months, my lungs felt deflated, no bathing for at least 4 months because my thoracolumbar region remained covered with the cast. I remained in bed for a while before I was mobilized on a wheelchair. But I never blamed the workers I met there because I understand that the system was not destroyed by them. This thing happened in the National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu. So, the fools wishing me accident and the ones telling me about federal hospitals should know that I have been a victim. I contemplated euthanasia for myself because I never knew I would survive. I have suffered. I am leaving with pains. But I am not a sentimentalist. Glory to God. Now, I walk without crutches but can't lift heavy things or do so many things. I don't do physical exercise. I don't kneel down. But in all these, I am not sentimental and stupid like those of you that attack me here. I don't and will never scapegoat health workers. I blame them only when they are at fault. 76 Likes 9 Shares |

This is exactly how most of these Unfortunate medical staff behave. Very careless, reckless and negligent. They always complain about salary, whereas doctors are the most paid civil servants relatively, and other medical staff are paid high too compared to other civil servants. 38 Likes 4 Shares |

What a pity! Always complaining, as if other civil servants are not poorly paid too. No ion for work or to save human life at all. If work tire una, una no go retire!? 14 Likes 2 Shares |

immortalcrown:you talk well...People are quick to condemn medical workers in Nigeria without considering the reasons behind their actions. I know several doctors who have been arrested for treating emergency cases such as gunshot wounds, stab injuries, and accident victims. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

ruggedtimi: He talks well abi? Hehehe 🤣😂 It's surprising to see that you and immortalcrown don't believe they could ever get involved in an accident in their life where by a random good Samaritan could rush them to a hospital to save their life ![]() I hope if/when such a day comes (either to you or yours) and you're being refused life resuscitating treatment you will both this post you made here where you claim to understand why such treatments should be withheld ![]() In this life, we reap what we sow and yes I myself have been involved in a terrible accident where I was rushed to the hospital unconscious and fortunately received life saving treatment 76 Likes 11 Shares |

This is dilemma of majority of accident victims in Nigeria. Imagine in a FG Medical center with no ordinary hand gloves ? DSS and EFCC are not doing anything I swear. The directors of those hospitals are rogues. 67 Likes 1 Share |
