    YOU CANNOT QUESTION THEM. WHATEVER THEY SAY GOES.

  • ELINAM 11 years ago

    Keep on mocking yourselves, but one thing I'll advice y'all is to try as much as possible to learn and rise from this like the phoenix rising from its ashes.

  • PROPHET YEBOAH 11 years ago

    JESUS IS THE ANSWER, NOT DOCTORS OR MACHINES. THEY SHOULD HAVE PRAYED AND BROUGHT A PRAYER WARRIORS TEAM TO THE HOSPITAL.

  • Nicholas . J. Bedzo 11 years ago

    Ghanaian Doctors are useless they should go and open their own Clinics
    to work,even a Ghana Doctor left a pair of scissors in a pregnant woman
    stmach after Operation.

  • Precious 11 years ago

    I don't think they measured this b4 doing it, else they would know some of their parts were joined together and look at the place for the surgery. Oh! Ghana.

  • Kwame Nsia 11 years ago

    Very very sad.Even countries like Jamaica, Haiti, the African Islands in the carribeans are more advanced than Ghana. When I first saw the picture of the supposed operation site I thought it was a babecue lunch organized by f ...

  • Good boy 11 years ago

    These incompetent Doctors again. All they know is unnecessary strikes. Joyfm is also trying to help them hide their shame. Partners in crime

  • Akos 11 years ago

    I personally think they shd have done extensive research before going into surgery. I know they have done their best. Things of this nature usually need some time. May their souls rest in perfect peace.

  • Yaw Mensah 11 years ago

    What a shame and a very bad PR follow-up. Simply put, their intentions were great and brave. However, they should acknowledge their shortcomings. The operation was not successful and beyond their expertise period!!!

    On a serious note Ghana is not ready to do surgeries of this magnitude -separating siamese twins. The Doctors should not even have attempted to separate the twins but rather to seek for help from a more advanced country. Nor ...

    Going on strike is best the know.
    If the had spent the time they went on srike to study it would have benefited them.The nation must know how to talk about this, otherwise they will be angered and go on strike.

    The outrage and anger directed at the medical professionals is misplaced. They carried out their investigations and thought an attempt at separation was better than the state the children were in. Regarding the facilities in ...

    If after 56 years you can not conduct such an operation then what is the meaning of being a doctor?
