"By the way, I'm also a doctor."
There's an actual MDCN rule behind that line.
One doctor tried to claim it.
DDNS Olalere watched what happened next.
It exposes a gap nobody is talking about. 👀🧵

So many unethical medical practices is happening here in Nigeria

I went to a hospital yesterday, I wasn’t feeling too well and they asked me to take a card, I did. They checked my BP and the sort only for the attending nurse to tell me that doctor isn’t on seat and that should they give me injection.

Injection for what exactly? No diagnosis was done or medical screening, you just want to shook my bumbum? I left

This morning, I went to a new one, the doctor was amazing and he recommend d that I go to the Lab so that my blood sample can be tested, only for the medical lab person to approach me without using a glove. I asked her to go use one as it is not right.

These things are becoming rampant in our society and it brings me to asking questions like where are these practitioners from?

[Richard Adejumobi @TheEthicalMD]

@Legbetiofficial No diagnosis-they want to give you injection. That's guesswork
No gloves at the lab. Unprofessional.
You knew that 🙌

The theatre says otherwise. 🩺⚖️

Has he been arrested yet?

Bro, Nigeria is fvcked.

Where do we even wanna start from to stem this quackery issue.

[Richard Adejumobi @TheEthicalMD]

@_adedeolah 😂 The things PP will show you, you go fear😂
Teaching institutions have their own wahala, but at least the basics are USUALLY non-negotiable. 🩺⚖️

[Richard Adejumobi @TheEthicalMD]

@_adedeolah That's a good one oo

I guess you were very proactive.

How many percent of your colleagues finished it within that 20days?😂

[Richard Adejumobi @TheEthicalMD]

How long did it take you to become FULLY REGISTERED after your HOUSEJOB?

Want to check something 😂😂

This is not "forget the rule."
It is "start demanding it."

💡 The MDCN rule is REAL.
The system to honour it does not exist in most Nigerian hospitals.
That gap closes when doctors START asking, documenting, and pushing — case by case, hospital by hospital — until institutions are forced to build the process.

[Richard Adejumobi @TheEthicalMD]

"By the way, I'm also a doctor."

Every doctor has said or intend to say that line at some point whenever they are to receive hospital care.

Tonight, one doctor said it — and DDNS Olalere watched exactly what happened next.

8pm WAT. 🧵 🩺⚖️

@Tejubaby123456 @rundriveng Then according to the law the guy, his consultant,other workers are liable.

They all have something to say at the court!

The moment Nigerians start taking things serious, a lot people will go for it.

@RowlandAkpan It depends on the country!

In Nigeria "A conviction for CRIMINAL ABORTION affords ground for DISCIPLINARY action by the Medical and Dental Practitioners' Disciplinary Tribunal"
