Nigerians blast Nurses for recording a dying former BBnaija star
By Dayo Badmus,
Video of nurses recording unconscious BBNaija star, Rico Swavey, sparks outrage on social media
A former Big Brother Naija housemate, Rico Swavey, died on Thursday from injuries sustained in a ghastly motor accident on Tuesday.
A video of nurses recording the deceased instead of attending to him in his unconscious state has sparked outrage on social media.
In the video, the nurses were seen laughing and gesticulating instead of attending to Swavey.
From the video it was negligence and unprofessionalism from the nurses that cause the death of Rico Swavey.
Nigerians berated the health workers for failing to come to the aide of the reality television star who was in serious pain after the accident.
Read the comments below.
This hospital should be closed and the license of those nurses should be seized.

You can see why life expectancy in Nigeria is low.
A person can die because doctors or nurses are not in the mood that day.

The nurses were laughing & contemplating what to do in that Rico Swavey’s video.
There was no interest in saving his life.
Even with your money, the health system & personnel will FAIL you.
It’s sad ?

General Hospital, LUTH AND LASUTH.
The Doctors and Nurses in these Hospitals aren’t Humans, you can’t tell me anything else.
May God continue to grant us good health and not have to experience these hospitals.??

Something I have come to realize is that there’s a huge lack of empathy in the healthcare system in Nigeria. Apart from the system itself that is rubbish, the workers need to be taught empathy. From nurses to doctors etc

You know the healthcare system has collapsed when you’re called in last minute to cover a shift in ICU only to arrive there to see the patient suffering due to delayed care. No nurse to give you verbal report as night nurse had to go home after 13hrs of work. In Ontario, Canada.

When there’s an accident the first thing to do is not recording the victims for whatsoever purpose. Rescue and try to save lives.
You also clearly must not record a patient in hospital while they are unconscious.
I hope those Nurses are punished and the hospital sued.

Anytime I watch that video of the nurses joking, laughing & making needless videos of Rico for social media instead of giving him the necessary urgent attention needed to save his life, my heart breaks over again cause he could have survived. RIP Rico. ?️
