Scream Media

A piece of advice to anyone with ears: If you are a nurse, a doctor, a health worker or a care worker in any professional capacity, please I beg you do not post videos like this where you are partying hard few hours before you go to attend to unwell, vulnerable, dying, helpless or sick patients. I expect that the usual dumb clowns on social media will applaud something like this because they never think beyond the superficial on any matter, but if a patient under your medical/nursing care dies or develops a serious complication due to suspected negligence, and the family decides to sue/take it up, they can use reckless videos like this to argue a case of deliberate medical negligence on your part. Smart lawyers will argue, quite rightly so, that you intentionally chose to put patient’s lives at risk by your actions. In addition to that, Your professional body can suspend and/or withdraw your practising license for gross unprofessional conduct if an official complaint is made against you purely on grounds of wilfully putting the lives of vulnerable patients at risk. Imagine your mother is sick and dying in hospital. Then you come on social media to find the nurse attending to her in the morning shift, posted herself clubbing hard till 3am just few hours before the shift. Will you not worry about your mother’s safety? If your mother died on that nurse’s shift, will a part of you not wonder if the nurse was negligent? Nigeria is lawless so there’s a lot of daily madness that is easily excused and overlooked. But please I’m begging you, if you are a professional working in healthcare, whatever your role may be, and if you work in a sane sensible country, or even if you work in Nigeria, I’m begging you: Please don’t make yourself a scapegoat and don’t lose your hard earned license because of a few likes online from empty-headed olodos who celebrate reckless crap like this, that can get you in serious but avoidable professional trouble that you will regret for a long time. You are a professional. You are a health professional. Human lives are in your very hands. You must never forget that. You can’t afford to be posting reckless videos that may suggest that you are intentionally putting vulnerable people’s lives at risk with your deliberately stupid decisions.
