What to expect when doctors go on strike 😭😭

Hello beautiful people. You are welcome back for the last edition of week 172. For this episode we are discussing about Doctors and medical personnels going on strike. It is something we agree with it, or is it what we don't like? This is the bone of contention.

Doctors are a very special set of individuals I believe we have in the society. They are meant to save lives. If you meet a good doctor on duty in any hospital you won't even want to go home! But that doesn't mean that we don't have the bad ones. Of course in every area of life we must have some that gives it a bad name.

Now, when you talk about doctors, nurses and other medical personnels to go on strike it has more negative effects than the positive. People's lives are at stake. Just like I have notably said when I started that medical personnels are meant to save lives. That is what they are trained to do. At the same time we can't also deny the fact that they are humans and also needs some attention especially from the government. But we discovered that most times they are not given the needed attention and it brings a lot of problems for us.

We have had cases like this when doctors go on strike and patience will be asked to move out of the hospital because of that and some of the patience that don't have the money to go to a private hospital will go home and die. Some manage to survive and some don't. I am not in support of the government neglecting the needs of the medical personnels. They should try and take proper care of them so that we won't be having such casualties.

I believe that the medical personnels should also put the lives of people whom they have been trained to save above every other thing. What I mean is that even when they want to go on strike, they should also take into consideration the lives of patients who dearly needs them and give them a little attention before sending them away from the hospital. At least they can still visit the critical at home and provide help where needed. I have witnessed as some of these patients are sent out of the hospital without even considering their condition. We are all humans and we should have feelings when dealing with people.

WILL STRIKE ACTION MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?

Sometimes it does, but not all the time. When they ho on strike like this it affects more of the poor in te society who cannot afford the bills of the private hospital. But for the rich ones who knows what to do, it doesn't affect at all. From all indications, it has more of bad effects than the good one.

WILL IT HELP THE GOVERNMENT ATTEND TO THE MEDICAL PERSONNELS?
Hmmm! This is a very bad one. For the type of government we have in Nigeria, most strike both from teachers and medical personnels, it doesn't yeld much fruit. Tje government will only make promises that they are never ready to keep.

In summary, I think that it is high time we begin to think of how to help ourselves and not to depend on the government solely. Try to take care of yourself unless if you are not in Nigeria.
