This Surgeon Removed The Wrong Leg! What happens when doctors don’t get enough rest? | Unclog Ep. 14

A doctor was on call 24 hours straight for 30 days. By day 15, their hands were shaking, and by day 25, they couldn’t remember basic procedures. This is the silent emergency killing Nigerian healthcare. In this powerful episode of Unclog, Aproko Doctor sits with Dr. Ena Tychus; former Chief of Medicine for America’s largest healthcare organization to expose the burnout crisis that’s destroying our medical system from the inside out. When doctors are too exhausted to think straight, patients suffer. When 70% of our doctors have fled Nigeria, the remaining ones are drowning. And when a sleep-deprived surgeon removes the wrong leg because he’s been awake for 36 hours… we all pay the price. In the episode, Dr. Tychus reveals: - Why “Japa Syndrome” has left us with 1 doctor for every 10,000 Nigerians - How burnout transforms caring doctors into dismissive, irritated shells of themselves - The shocking behind-the-scenes reality of Nigerian hospital call rooms - What America did to tackle doctor burnout (and actually succeeded) - How Getmedco is fighting medical tourism by bringing world-class care to Nigeria If you’ve ever wondered why your doctor seemed rushed, irritated, or distracted, this episode will open your eyes. 🔗 **Ready for better healthcare without traveling abroad?** Visit Getmedco: https://getmedco.com Download Elevate App: https://gcoelevate.com 0:00 - Introduction 0:50 - Silent Emergencies in Nigerian Healthcare 2:27 - How does burnout start? 8:49 - What does burnout mean for the patient? 10:56 - The behind the scenes of a call room 13:18 - Japa Syndrome 15:54 - Are doctors not being acknowledged? 25:22 - Success stories 27:00 - Signs of burnout in healthcare professionals 28:53 - When burnout led to a critical mistake 31:50 - What did the US do to reduce burnout 37:15 - What is Getmedco? 42:35 - Conclusion ⸻ Watch more insightful videos on Aproko Doctor’s YouTube Channel: 👉 / @aprokodoctor ⸻ Follow Aproko Doctor on social media Instagram: @aproko_doctor X (Twitter): @aproko_doctor TikTok: @aprokodoctor Facebook: /aprokodoctor Website: https://aprokodoctor.com #AprokoDoctor #DoctorBurnout #JapaSyndrome #NigerianHealthcare #MedicalTourism #Getmedco #HealthcareReform #DoctorShortage #MedicalErrors #Unclog​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​WithAprokoDoctor
