Hilarious!!! These Are 7 Funny Signs To Show You’re In A Nigerian Hospital – I Totally Agree With Number 4

No one looks forward to a health crisis, but
at some points in time, visits to the hospital
are inevitable. For those in Nigeria,
whether it is for a routine check-up, to get
treatment or to volunteer and help sick
people into the ward, certain experiences
make a trip to the hospital unique.
Here are 7 of the funny signs that you
are in a Nigerian hospital.
1. The nurse shares her opinion on your
weight
In any Nigerian hospital, before you see
the doctor, your temperature and blood
pressure, as well as weight, is recorded.
Do not be surprised when the nurse
makes a bold comment as “Ah, aunty,
you are too big for your height, please
work on it, oh, It is not attractive” or “
Haba, you are too thin, you no dey
chop”. Basically, Nigerian nurses feel
they have the license to share their
opinions with you and usually, you
cannot argue with them.
2.The receptionist would rather watch
African Magic
Most hospitals in Nigeria now are
starting to adopt the Electronic
Paperwork system, and almost every
receptionist or front desk staff in
Nigerian hospitals, especially old
hospitals, find this annoying. They prefer
to just sit, hand out files and watch
African Magic on television. In fact,
sometimes, they would ignore patients so
they do not miss a particular scene in a
movie.
3. You wait so long for everything
From submitting your card, to seeing the
doctor, taking tests and collecting your
drugs from the pharmacy, you are bound
to spend almost an entire day at a
Nigerian hospital. The staff seem to take
their sweet time in doing almost
everything, and so even when there is no
crowd, you still have to wait. Good thing
is that most of the hospitals have
canteens and tuckshops where you can
go and eat when you start to get hungry.
4. There is that IZAL smell
It seems like almost every hospital in
Nigeria, especially the public ones, made
a decision that they would use IZAL, a
strong and very pungent disinfectant, to
clean their environs. This smell usually is
nauseating, especially when the toilet is
not properly cleaned and the offensive
odour of faeces and urine mixes with the
disinfectant.
5. The doctor already knows what is wrong
with you
Most doctors automatically match
symptoms with malaria and typhoid, and
so they rush diagnosis without taking
basic tests. The patients, who are most
times too scared to disagree with the
doctor, just agree with the diagnostics
and eventually go back when the
treatment does not cater to the problem.
Sometimes, you cannot blame them as
giving Nigerian patients’ room to express
themselves fully could encourage them to
over exaggerate their symptoms.
6. You must buy your meds from the
hospital
If you are visiting a doctor in a Nigerian
hospital, be assured that you will have to
buy the medication prescribed from the
hospital’s pharmacy. Even when the
patient requests to have the medication
listed so they can purchase it on their
own, the hospital would refuse. This is
possibly a way for them to make extra
money.
7. Treatments are overpriced
The bill you receive, usually, is quite
pricey compared to the actual cost of the
medication given to you and resources
used on you. Even worse, the cost of
being admitted is so high that some hotel
rooms are leased for less. Again, 8 out of
10 hospital bills contain errors, so you
may want to check your bill carefully.
