Surgeons Using Torch Light On An Operation. Medical Joke Or Not? VIEWS: 125 | COMMENTS: 0 WISEWIZZY Wed 03 Jul 2013 I know what you are thinking… This is not a prank or a staged setting. It actually took place in a prominent teaching hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. In case you still can not process the mental image your brain seems to be interpreting, I will help you out. In the picture above, a surgery is taking place. Not on a Cadaver( dead human bodies used by medical students for practicals) but on a living being. There is no power supply at the moment and I guess no generator too. So they resort to using battery operated lamp. We see the OR Technician holding the lamp while the doctors carry on with the procedure. There is no point in listing basic medical equipment’s that are absent in this operating room. The absence of electricity to power the electric bulbs makes the whole process a big joke. However, this is no joke. In some countries, this can not even happen to a dog. It is appalling to see this gross disregard for human live. I wonder if this patient survived. Thank God for doctors that can operate under this condition. Thank goodness for battery lamps.'
