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.

Love ur comment
Correct
Step!!!! Mum!!!!!! Ofcourse!!!!!
...My name is simple CALL ME KYKE...
Well as a dr I would do what is called a triage and pick the one who is more likely to live and can be saved and dedicate my resources and time more to that person! You people critisize doctors all the time and don't know what we go through everyday. We are faced with decisions that affect REAL people who have families , friends and loved ones. It doesn't have to be my mum or step mum before I give my best! I always give my best. If in the course of saving a life I leave a perennial pad in a woman , remember it's cause she was bleeding in the first place! Drs swear oaths like you are always quick to point out but we swear as MEN to GOD to do our best and do no harm but all human beings err( not to say I blame the dr ) for every life lost in the hands of a dr , thousands have been made to live ( don't forget there is only one dr to 7000 Nigerians ). Don't always believe a single story from a random guy on Twitter ! Love your dr it's perfectly heathy! Ibk
My mum is the best woman on earth, but in a case like this I will take the step one
Attend to step mom and assign mom to another doctor. Definitely want mom to live so that she can look me in the eyes and tell if she is fit to call me her child.
Foolish question... Step mom jor.
I have come to realize that its not who birthed you that is compulsory the person that is your mom but who nurtured you. I will choose the woman that nurtured me period.
Very clever answer!
Step mum for sure. Biological mum had lost you already. She abandoned you.
A mother isn't the woman who carried u in her stomach for 9months but the woman who took care of you, nurtured you, cried n laughed with u, gave u shelter, et cetera et cetera. That shld answer the question
Step mum,without thinking bcos she stood by me all d way
my step mum
A mother isnt just a biological parent but the one that nurtures and cares for you. If the one dat gives birth to you does the aforementioned then great. But if she abandons you for that to be done by anoda, then the one you grow up calling mama is the mama you know.....afterall children are a heritage from the Lord. Having eggs is a gift that she didnt work for but the ability and willingness to nurture is an uncommon and laudable craft and discipline!

I would definitely choose the step mum becos if it weren't for her, I wouldnt be in dat hospital working as a doctor in d first place and secondly, if the only mother (step mum) I knew dies, wat gives me d assurance dat my mom wld step in to b a gud mother plus I wld rily miss the only mom I was eva used to. Noone can replace her now, not even if my biological mom lives and wants to get to know me. Lemme jst add dat if my biological mom rily cared for me and not my dad, she wld av ran away wit me not left me for anoda woman to take her place so she shld bear d consequences. Meanwhile, in d medical world, if somfyn like a surgery is to be performed,i wld do it on my biological mom cos u arent allowed to do such on someone u are close to.
My step mum pls
How will you even know that the other one is your biological mother? So I will treat the one I know first my Step-mother.
step mom straight away.
The real mum here is the 'step mum'. She is the mum I know and the mum who deserves my full medical attention. She comes first.
This is a very stupid question..of course it is the step mum kmt
Mumu the question says you can treat only one. . And it's obviously step mum

Step mum
The woman that took me as hers . But if my heart is made of gold, i'll call another doctor to save the biological mom .
I've always known u don't hv common sense, you're entitled to ur own mumu opinion sha.
Easy.. My step mum. That's the only mum I have. I do not know the other lady. Truth be told, If I told that was my biological mum, the woman who abandoned me as a baby? I'll politely ask that she be removed from my hospital.
Hahaha..... U re wicked
Step mum win abeg....
@ 8 months for real? if u ask me i ll atend to my mom n the last i remember my step mom is the only momi remember having, no sentiment, if they are both in same condition i ll attend to my step mom.
True talk
My mother first
Ma step mom of.cuz
Very very very very foolish post, this!
What kind of nonsense question is this from Linda.
As a doctor you are trained to save life even that of your enemy,so your analogy does not add up. You should do all you can to save all life at anytime.
And linda imagine you are involved in that accident , do you expect me to leave you to die simply because you are not my mother, step mother or relative if I have a choice. No is the answer. There is no choice when it comes to treating patients bordering on life and death. Only in Nigeria!!!
A doctor will not ask such a question. He/she should know how to rate or assess emergencies. Fake post or real, do not give the impression that doctors make such emotional and rubbish decisions, otherwise patients' relatives will start beating up any doctor they meet at the A and E who is attending to another patient. Do away with this fantasy, whoever you are; your age don pass so, I beg.
Very pathetic. Man is a bundle of possibilities. i never can say until am involved.
Dude, attend to both, we are talking about one's LIFE.

i will attend to my step biological mum first please, by sharply giving her an injection that will make her pass out so i can focus and treat my dear step mum...lol
my step mom. Any woman can give birth to you but it takes a woman "mother" to raise you.
pls i wil lyk 2 say sumtin here u al hve said wat u wld do buh wat i wnt 2 say is dat ur birth moda is ur real mother no mata d circumstances cos witout her u wnt hve met wit ur step mum.but based on feeling we wld al go for step mum 4 been dere.
My step-mum is the first to be attended to. She got my back and am gonner keep hers. My biological mother can bleed to death for all I care. It happened to me real life. Am taking care of both but my step mum gets my attention most.

Hmmm, in a case like dis, am gonna choose my step mum, because I wanted to say the mum but not by giving birth to you dat matters but who has shown u dat love and care. Because right frm child hood, it's ur step mum you've known as ur mum, who ve be showering u care as a mother, so if dis kind of a situation comes up, I guess the first to attend to will be ur step mum because Infact u will see ur biological mum as a stranger and will nt have dat feelings for her to attend to her first.

mumu.trying to b evasive
step mom abeg
As far as am concerned in dat case ur biological mother just has d title of being ur mum, ur real mother in this case is ur step mother
my mum all the way. im referring to my STEP MUM Oooo, she is the real mother not the biological.
The step mum of course.
This LIB reader is already sick in the head for even thinking twice about who to choose. Look!!! ur biological Mum died the very day she walked out of ur life, so go ahead and safe ur step Mum's life cuz she alone deserves to live.
I will attend to step mother first I will even look. For her
my step mother biko
Step Mum ALL THE WAY jooooooor
In case you don’t know, your step mum is actually the real mother, it’s important to show love to even your worst enemy, so, since my job is to save lives, abeg, i will treat my step mum while praying for the transporter God use in bringing me to the world and she survives it, then i can take care of her afterwards. No hard feelings!
will quickly attend to my step mother wu has been there for me.
My Mum(The step Mum)
MY STEP MUM...INFACT I CUD WAIT FOR HER TO HEAL BEFORE I CAN EVEN TOUCH MY MUM..
My step mom, cos she help me to become what I am today, without her support I will not be there to save life, so I will attend to her first, but if there is another Dr. on duty I will order him/her to attend to my biological mom..
Emm

Just like I deserved to live by her, My step Mum deserves to live also. One good turn deserves another.
step mum, i dont always get to see my views posted
step mum, dont always get to see my post linda
step mum
According to the leading of my spirit at that moment, i'll decide who will be treated first but step mum stands a larger chance tho...
definitely my step mom
I like this statement! Very sound!
this is actually not a teasing question as intended, its somewhat silly, if you permit me. how can you ever be in a doubt of abandoning someone that raised you for a complete stranger regardless of biological ties. its a big sin .
D Obvious
Step-mom of course
I will attend to my real mother ie my step Mum
Step mum for sure! After all the sacrifice!
Sharperly step mum
step mum..
