Doctors Would go to Hell for ‘Deliberately’ Slaughtering Patients – Austin Gamey

Labour consultant, Austin Gamey has called on government to sack the striking doctors who according to him are ‘deliberately slaughtering patients’ by their strike action.

The punishment for doing so, he said would be that they (striking doctors) would be condemned to hell fire because they have the blood of innocent people on their hands.

“We don’t need them to take care of the patients, they should get out…we are tired…why should doctors contribute deliberately to the slaughtering of people so that an employer would feel bad…the employer must take immediate steps, if we don’t have doctors which we don’t have then we would know we don’t have doctors, everybody would know how to take care of himself…,” he said.

Members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) at the end of July declared a strike action which they voted at a crucial General Assembly meeting to extend despite calls from various quarters for them to call it off.

Prior to the extension, President Mahama on Uniiq FM described the action as one which ‘does not make sense’ and it’s ‘illegal’.

And the one time Deputy Employment and Social Welfare Minister under the Rawlings administration speaking on Accra-based Radio Gold seem to think in like manner as apart from insisting the strike action is illegal urged the striking doctors to return to the wards before God punishes them for contributing to the ‘slaughtering’ of innocent people.

“Doctors are instruments used by God also…it is absolutely out of place for any doctor to deliberately contribute, the blood of the people would be required on their hands…I tell you one day it would be shown in a video, unfortunately when you die you can’t come back and tell people what is happening, but many people would end up having problems with God, they would show it to them that you contributed to the death of people, so go to hell…,” he said.

Austin Gamey continued that the doctors by their prolonged strike action are losing the respect accorded them and their profession by Ghanaians.

“I respect doctors, almost all the GMA executives are my friends…I highly respect them…some have come through my training….but they have abused the trust of the people…,” he said

According to him, the GMA ‘by now [are] feeling bad because they have abused the trust reposed into them, on top of it, they did not know that what they began could metamorphose or travel this length ….”
