Marvis of the National Hospital, Abuja.
According to Yusuf, the accused medical doctor insisted that the nurse has to leave the patient she was attending to dress the wound of another patient in the female medical ward. “These doctors earlier came around a few minutes ago for the dressing but the patient was in the dialysis unit, moreover the dressing pack was not available.
“Instead of documentation he then went close to her and said Madam I said you should go now and do the dressing’, but she told him that this is a medication trolley and besides dressing pack was not available. Yusuf, therefore, condemned the act of the doctor, describing such an act as a fundamental violation of medical professional ethics and a grave desecration of international principles.
She, therefore, urged the management of the hospital to do the needful by stepping into the matter and giving justice to the nurse through the application of civil service rules.
