Award-winning Nollywood director and filmaker, Biodun Stephen has issued out a quick public service announcement, PSA, to hospitals and doctors.
Biodun Stephen, renowned for her creativity in the movie industry send out a quick PSA on the importance of doctors becoming more tender-hearted to their patients, as she revealed how inconsiderate most doctors and hospitals are.
In her words:
“Dear doctors, I know this country does not give you the credit you deserve, but the patients need your warmth in consulting with them. You do not need to be friendly, though. I believe it’s a plus. But aloofness and coldness does not come with the medical practice. Do better. Be kinder.”
She added that most patients do not like coming to hospitals in Nigeria, the same way hospitals don’t like seeing patients.
She said:
“Dear hospital, the feeling is mutual. I do not like coming to you either, but sometimes life forces us to be in your presence. When I do come to you, tell your people not to treat me like a livestock. You are not doing me a favor. It is a paid service. Thank you.”
