This is taken from the story which was recently run by the New Times about a negligent doctor. The medical assistant Dr. Desire Rwabukwisi attached to Nyagatare main hospital is alleged to have neglected a patient to the extent of creating an environment conducive for breeding of maggots with a horrible stench coming from her body. Desire who doubles as the head of the psychiatrist department and one of the most experienced staff should know better that a patient who does not have relatives to take care of them is no justification of ill-treatment. It is the hospitals responsibility to take care of a patient with no conditions attached. Who then shall we run to if we are treated in such a manner? This is just one example of the people out there who are suffering silently. Doctors who can not win their patient’s trust ought to be out of the medical profession. Nyagatare
