Litigation is getting popular, but patients in Nigeria hardly sue the hospital and doctor for negligence, shady practices ( real or perceived) as is obtainable outside of here. But going out of the way to make sure a patient gets the best of healthcare is a gesture I will like to see more of. I saw a doctor do that recently; he was ready to operate even without anyone signing a consent form due to the urgency of the case.
You may have heard or read horror stories of the negligence often meted out to people in the public hospital. But the incident I just narrated above occurred in one. The issue is an individual one, keep up the excellent work. Bravo.
