    You have proved your worth and I congratulate you, Dr Yeboah. Back in Ghana, others would have filmed the victim and post it on what's app whilst he bleeds to his death.

  • ADANKO 10 years ago

    Dr. You are a God sent doctor. This is what is expected from every man. Other people use their talents to kill or steal. A good example is Asiedu Nketia of NDC.and others. They use their talents to steal and milk Ghana.

    THESES ARE THE KIND OF LIFE-SAVING PEOPLE GHANA NEEDS, NOT MAHAMA THE BLOOD SUCKING DEMON WHO SPIRITUALLY SACRIFICED PROF. MILLS AND OTHERS (NAMES WITHHELD)FOR POWER.

  • Stoway 10 years ago

    The disgraceful striking doctors should read and learn from this. They prefer to strike and leave patient die in front of their naked eyes. Shame on GMA!

  • Citizen 10 years ago

    We destroy the gifted ones who remain in the country in several ways. Since we're talking about a medical doctor Prof Frimpong-Boateng readily comes to mind. Didn't we hound him out of Korle-Bu like a common criminal? There ...

    Dr. Frimpong Manso dug his own grave. He was at Korle-bu doing politics, so the government had no choice but to let him go and do his politics, you can't do both at the same time. Dr. Omani Boamah, Napo etc all left the hosp ...

    Frimpong Boateng did not build anything from scratch with his money. He became too partisan and even contested as NPP presidential candidate. That was his downfall; should have remain neutral.
