The Call Every Nigerian Doctor Dreads…

The Call Every Nigerian Doctor Dreads… In this video, I talk about a situation many doctors in Nigeria can relate to—when a patient’s relative who is a doctor abroad calls to “supervise” your management. From giving unsolicited directives to speaking in a condescending tone, it’s an experience that can be frustrating, confusing, and sometimes even disruptive to patient care. But this is not just a rant. I break down why this happens, the realities of practicing medicine in Nigeria versus abroad, and how we as doctors can handle these situations professionally without compromising patient care. If you’re a medical student, house officer, or young doctor, you’ve probably faced this—or you will. And if you’re a doctor practicing abroad, this video gives insight into what your colleagues on ground deal with daily. At the end of the day, medicine is a team effort. Respect, communication, and understanding context are key to achieving the best outcomes for our patients. 💬 Have you experienced this before?
