 And resident doctors at the University of Medical Sciences teaching hospital on those states have begun a two-day warning strike on the heels of an assault suffered by one of them. A medical officer at the accident and emergency department of the hospital by the son of a patient while discharging his duty. The doctors who staged peaceful protests in Ondo and Akure simultaneously described the attack as barbaric and called on the state government to provide adequate security and the hospital premises to prevent a repeat of such an ugly incident. The president of the association of resident doctors in Ondo state John Matthew said the hospital is understaffed and urged the state government to employ more doctors. One of our colleagues received a physical assault yesterday when one of the patient relatives becomes impatient. So we are calling on the government and the management to intervene promptly and do everything possible within their capacity to make, to redeem the worst situation in this institution. This was something that we could ordinarily foresee coming when numbers began to drop so drastically from 150 to 48, when 48 people have to bear the burden of 150, it's like one person working as four, it's unheard of, it's uncalled for. Patients don't know that they have one doctor in a place they used to have five before. They will still come in their numbers and that means that they will no longer get attended to as prompted as they used to. They need to understand this that we are far less than we used to be and they need to be patient with us. Today we are protesting against the barbaric heart of one of our patient relatives who attacked one of us. We are totally against this kind of act, it is unheard of for us and if not for the quick intervention from Mama Tekonkov, more damages will have done to him. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
