@MaryRoseMalomo The takes I'm seeing from people that should supposedly know better have me reeling?
Apparently, these people don't see patients as human beings, or they just don't see the poor ones as worthy of human dignity.
We're not entitled to patients' bodies. Teaching Hospital or not, it is their right to decline being seen by students. You do not take autonomy away from a human being.
Universal medical ethics give patients rights and agency. It doesn't matter which sort of hospital it is.
A lot of Nigerians can't afford teaching hospitals, talk less of private ones. Poor people have rights too.
Why do we ask for consent, if we're going to disregard it?
