You know the crazy thing??
The person the Dr called in to examine might have been a Dr😅
Women themselves have internalized misogyny, they call every female health worker nurse.
Crazy bah.
I remember when I was in 400L, I discovered a lump in my breast and went to the school hospital.
The male doctor I met refused to examine me because I was a woman. Instead, he sent a female nurse to examine me and report her findings.
The nurse just played around my breast, returned to the doctor and said it was mere tenderness. This doctor prescribed Vitamin C and told me nothing was wrong.
Three days later, I returned because the lump was increasing. This time, I met another male doctor. After I explained what happened, he immediately recognised the doctor I was talking about.
He examined me himself, diagnosed it as a boil and prescribed medication. He also told me that the other doctor behaved that way and that, in a country where the system works, I could sue him.
Thinking about this today makes me wonder: How many patients have suffered under that doctor’s care? How many people has he misdiagnosed or given the wrong prescriptions?
A doctor’s refusal to properly examine a patient is not just unprofessional; it can be dangerous.
Imagine being sent home with Vitamin C when you came to the hospital with a growing lump in your breast. 😩

I used to think some patients who call female doctors, nurses were mostly 'ignorant' but now I think most of them know what they're doing. This patient's mum called my fellow house officer, Nurse on 2 different days and I corrected her
The 3rd time, I changed it for her cos why?

Schrodinger’s Nigerian:
The archetypal Nigerian who exhibits this behavior everywhere else will NOT behave like this with HMOs at the hospital.

The last time I talked about this thing on Twitter, nurses swore the doctors were the ones spearheading this madness
So this Nurse came up with a new rule that IV medications that are supposed to be administered slowly should only be given by doctors and we must not give it, because apparently administering IV medications is suppose to be doctor’s procedure. Mind you, almost every medication administered IV has to be pushed slowly.
Okay, so if you relegate nurses from doing almost all the procedures we’re trained and expected to do, what exactly are we supposed to do? Just vital signs?
If the Hospital management is stopping nurses from performing basic procedures, we should be fighting it. But instead you the nurse in charge are reducing your young, active nurses who actually want to learn and work to taking vital signs. How are we supposed to grow? How are we supposed to gain experience? How would we be respected?
And then we wonder why they pay nurses ₦80k. Why wouldn’t they? Why wouldn’t they hire quacks in place of qualified nurses when we’re being prevented from doing the very things we were trained to do?
And you lazy nurses too will sit down and accept doctors setting lines, giving IV medications, doing catheterization, nebulization, suturing and other basic procedures, then turn around and wonder why they don’t rate you.
I genuinely pity all of us.

“When was your last period?” is actually a very relevant medical question. A broken arm may need an X-ray, and pregnancy status matters because of fetal radiation exposure. It also matters when choosing medications, because some drugs are contraindicated in pregnancy. There’s a reason we ask bathong 😭 Let us do our jobs!
