Question of the day....

A LIB reader sent in the question. See below and tell us who you would save and why...
Imagine your mum left your dad when you were just 8 months old because he had no money. Your dad remarried a lady because he needed someone to take care of you. Unfortunately she couldn't bear your dad a child, she dedicated her entire time looking after you. Due to the financial state of the house, your step mum sold all she had so that she could sponsor your education. Luckily you graduated as a medical doctor, own you your hospital. One day an emergency occurred due to an accident which involved your biological mother and your step mother, your hospital was the nearest and obviously a good one, so both were brought in. You can only attend to one patient at a time being the only doctor on duty. Who will you give priority to? Your biological mum / or your step mum? (The situation permits you to choose just one, both losing blood profusely.

My step mum

Anonymous said...

It is a straight forward answer, my step mum.

Unknown said...

I'll definitely save my step one cos she is d mum I know. @ 8month I grew to know her as my mum not as my step. So she'll have to ripe d fruit of her labour

Unknown said...

That is simple answer obvoiusly it will be my step mom cause she is the one I recognise as my mom

obietrezy said...

To be honest i will take care of my step mum first then send for another specialist to attend to my mum. Even if my real mum should die before I'm done with my step mum then she's as good as being dead because she was never there for me from the onset... Jor oh

Unknown said...

It is very wrong to have sex before a child. One, she will assume that it is the right thing to do and grows up to do same as soon as possible. Two, she wouldn't be able to see sexual abuse as 'abuse' after all daddy does it with mummy. Three, she might end up trying it out in school. Please stop it. It is wrong parenting.

Subomi said...

I don't like this sort of question. I don't think I can say what I'll do until I am in that situation for real, they are both mum and deservedly so.

Of course my step mum, because she was the one who take of me. Not all mothers are mother. The one who take care of you is your mother so don't be deceived with a word of biological mother.

Ability to conceive does confer the title of "mother" on an individual. Someone that takes up the responsibilities of that title has met the criteria to be labelled as thus. I see no dilemma here.

In all honestly, I will choose my step mum. what makes a mother is not just about giving birth to a child, but being there to nurture the child, give he/she love and a great future.

Step mum, birthing a child doesn't mean you are the mother. She wasn't there to be a mother when you needed her.

I wl definatly help my step mum first, it is nt jst givn birth dat makes one a mother, but d big heart to love nd tk care of ur child. D step mum was der 4 her, gav her everytn, suportd her dream nd future, wat mor to it dt u cnt save dt woman's life b4 any oda person. Its nt every woman who gives birth is worth called a mother.

It is a simple case. A mother is not necessary the one that gave birth to you and abandoned you but the one who took you in and nurtured you. I will attend to the step mum because of that. Being a true mother will not and never abandon her child. That is why we have children so that they can take care of us in future, when we take of them. in my language we call it Omozele.

Well as a doctor you take an oath and undergo HIPPA training. There's something about not attending to family members in a situation like this. So therefore you have to pass both patients to another doctor on duty.

This is not how medicine works. The question just reveals gross ignorance. You will "triage" (Google it), and treat the one who needs more attention first. You run the risk of a malpractice suit if you allow sentiments to influence your job.
