LUTH Doctor Slumps, Dies During 72-hour Shift
SHARE

A medical doctor at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba has reportedly died after he slumped due to a continuous 72-hour shift.

Dr Umoh Michael passed away during a Sunday church service, according to reports.

He performed a 72-hour surgery without taking a break at the neurosurgery unit.

The Association of Resident Doctors therefore issued an appeal letter dated September 19 to LUTH’s chief medical director.

In the letter, the doctors accused their senior colleagues of bullying, subjecting them to stressful call hours without breaks, and failing to provide proper feeding and accommodation.

The letter titled
‘An Appeal By The House Officers Of LUTH’ read:

“We the house officers are in deep grief over the loss of our colleague, a co-House officer (Dr Umoh Michael) who died on 17th September, 2023, after having a 72hrs call in Neurosurgery Unit. He is said to have been on call 72hrs before arriving home on Sunday morning to get set for church service, reaching his worship center (United Evangelical Church) where he slumped in the church at about 11am.

“His roommate attested to the fact that Umoh Michael has barely slept in their apartment over the past one week as he was always on call or the day he returns home is around 3am after surgeries and other activities in Neurosurgery Unit.”

It stressed that; the doctors “have long standing challenges since we resumed housemanship here and one most striking challenge is the bullying we received from our senior colleagues, stressful call hours without breaks in between, no call food, no good accommodation.”

The doctors demanded that the “house officers who did call the previous day, should be allowed either half day the next day or allowed to resume work by midday the following day,” adding that “house officers should not be made to work 48hrs at stretch.

“The compulsory House check at the beginning of House job should be free or grossly subsidised for House officers. Our senior colleagues (senior registers and registrars) should make the work environmentally friendly for us; House officers should not do work of potters, nurses or patient relatives.”
