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.

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.

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!

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 are several examples in several other areas/sectors of our nation.

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 hospital for politics that is how it is done. But Dr. Frimpong Manso was doing politics whiles in the hospital. This is not possible. Thanks

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.

We as Ghanaians will continue to grow at a snails pace if we continue to place tribalism, partisanship and our stomachs above the issues on the ground. Its high time the electorate wise up and put leaders on their toes, else politicians will continue to take us for a ride. Most importantly we must all get involved in any way we can to contribute to the country's growth. If we are not willing to do this we should shut up and stop complaining about our woes.

Ghanaians who opt to stay abroad are only being rational. We live in a country that refuses to harness the potentials of its citizens. In fact many of the conditions and institutions here actually limit the potentials of people. The infrastructure, markets and institutions in the country need to be developed in a way that allows citizens to contribute their quota to the nation's development.
That being said I'll always stress the need that for every minute we spend talking about problems is time we could have spent in helping the country to improve its lot. Ghanaians in the Diaspora and elswhere should try and sacrifice for their motherland by bringing home their expertise and capital. It is only through this that we can progress.

Yes, he has to stay in Australia where he will be appreciated. I hate to read/hear the statement that certain Ghanaians outside are needed in Ghana. That is not true. There are many talents in Ghana that we actively frustrate. Those making it outside are not that stupid. They follow what is going on in Ghana. The days when people felt they needed to "serve" their land of birth are over. Even our politicians are sending their families to live abroad because they don't trust in their own abilities to save the country.Why would it be a wise decision for someone seemingly doing well to leave because a land called Ghana "needs" him/her? Home is where you make it! I hate gyimi!!!

All over the globe, you will find Ghanaians of such high level calibre helping other people but are refusing to come home to help their own because of the chaos since 1979. The country has seen brain drain of skilled labour since the 1970's and there seems to be no end to the phenomenon. Our leaders think about enriching themselves only instead of seeking the welfare of all the citizens.

This story does not seem to be true. It is only originating from a single source. Such a story would be also carried by other news organizations and publications. The Associated press, Australian newspapers, BBC, etc. have no such story. Search on Google and see that no other news source is giving verification that such a thing occurred.

Furthermore, the Royal Perth Hospital website does not show the presence of a Doctor Kwasi Yeboah.

The author of the article should be asked for their sources for this.

We as Ghanaians will continue to grow at a snails pace if we continue to place tribalism, partisanship and our stomachs above the issues on the ground. Its high time the electorate wise up and put leaders on their toes, else politicians will continue to take us for a ride.
Most importantly we must all get involved in any way we can to contribute to the country's growth. If we are not willing to do this we should shut up and stop complaining about our woes.

someone said earlier that this story is false because it isn't reported anywhere else, and i am bound to believe that. If he opened the chest for real, he was going to cut some major body parts that could be deadly, and so he would rather give him some first aid to keep him until they got to the nearest hospital. the travel to the nearest hospital would be safer that operating the chest without anesthesia and other major instruments. He would have even bled to death.

Thanks for all your comments. Please dont be abusing yourselves for this article. Just give the glory to God. We don't all have to be Doctors to do what This Angel Doctor had done.
People are doing similar things from different professions in Ghana but are being discouraged to the point that they wish they would not have indulged themselves in what they are ding now although they have excelled already in their fields.
Look at the founder of Ashesi school at Berekuso.How long is it going to take for the Ghanaian authorities to give the school accreditation.
If it were in the western world he would have been a hero long time ago.
We need the support of all Ghanaians to make these people real Angels and don't mind those authorities. Let them sit there without doing their jobs.
