Some Doctors in Ireland are NOT qualified...WTF!!

pic only for display, not the real doctor

I read an article a couple days ago about a Doctor in Dublin who was removed from his post after proving that he had very little knowledge of how to be a doctor. His name was Vincent Oswunko from Nigeria. He has worked in Portlaoise Hospital in the midlands of Ireland since 2009 and has a litany of allegations from nurses, doctors and surgeons stating that he "lacked even basic medical knowledge". Here is a link to the story from the Irish Times. I'm extremely disturbed to think that this man worked as a Senior House Officer. This is a very important role in the hospital, God knows how many patients this "Doctor" worked on. Whats even more disturbing is the fact that there could be more people like this working in our hospitals. Also to note this person worked in Crumlin Children's hospital before moving to Portlaoise... WTF.... This person was working with sick children. It couldn't get any worse. I wonder if any of his pals are also working here with such incompetency.

This type of thing cannot be allowed to happen. Being a doctor shouldn't be something that's taken lightly when doing the hiring. Are we that stupid in this country to hire people based on a few documents, if this so called doctor even had any documents to prove he was a practicing healthcare professional doctor? Any why when quizzed did former Retired consultant surgeon Walter Conway, who worked with Dr Osunkwo, said he was “deficient in many areas” and did not have the “basic medical knowledge even a medical student should know”. Why didn't this retired surgeon mention this earlier and call for immediate action? Are Doctors hiding this knowledge from us? Do Doctors stick with other Doctors and protect them from getting into trouble? For such an important profession this should not be true.

How many unqualified people are working as Doctors in Ireland. I'm calling for an immediate investigation into every doctor in the country. And any doctors withholding evidence about incompetency from other doctors then they should also be held accountable. In an age where the public healthcare is bad enough and doctors are paid huge salaries this cannot and should not happen again. Its time for some common sense. Hospitals should be safe havens for people who are the most vulnerable.

I would love to know if this man ever trained in a university to be a doctor. If he was i would like to see the results of any examinations taken .I would also like to know if its east to forge paperwork to make it look as if he was a doctor. Because, judging by the news article and what the witnesses are allegedly saying it doesn't look s if he was a real doctor. And if he was a real doctor then maybe his mental state should be checked out. Asking if 165 bpm was a fast heart rate...i even know the answer to that.

The following is a follow up article in December 2013. He was given a 4 week period where he had to shadow other doctors while he improves his own skills. This is actually laughable. Its like telling someone who has no professional skills as a tiler to watch a tiler lay tiles by just watching how its done by a real professional. This is a frightening way to deal with someone with such a level of incompetency.

What actually happened to this man for such negligence and possible fraud?
