Please, Help! I need serious Advice. I am a 100level student of the Benue State University College Of Health Sciences. We have been on strike for 5 months and still hoping to resume school soon.
It kind of make me wonder what kind of medical education am I going to get from a Medical school which has not even graduated a single medical student. Medics have been here for like 12 years Without graduation.
I am planning to leave for another medical school but I am still confused about it.
I don't know whether to
continue in this medical school and suffer the consequence of not graduating on time or make an alternate move to another medical school, but time is not on my side, I am 20 years old already.

centje:
The lecturer needs to face a panel.

It's very unfortunate that at this age, universities in nigeria still publish results like this.

such candidate be admitted?

charleymed:
I agree with you Bro, here in Nigeria nobody really give a damn. but as they always say, in medicine you just have to maintain standard. so don't be surprised if they publish results worse than this.

This is very true, in the sense that such pass rate is possible with the current curriculum of med school in Nigeria where the load far exceeds the time to cover them. It is not entirely the lecturer's problem, neither does it mean that 93.6% of the students are olodos. Centje, how many people passed physiology 1st test in our class then? Lol

It is a test result, usually at the begining of the 1st professional exam, so the examiner might have been very strict regarding the marking scheme. Then, many med students are yet to understand how to pass and what to read. Many are still lost in the never-ending volumes of stuff to read.

In time the scores will improve, and by the end of the 1st professional exam, pass rate should be around 50%, partly because these scores might have stimulated the students more, and partly because the students get to mature and read more purposefully.

The result is a true reflection of med school, at that stage in many schools. This is the kind of things non medical students will never understand, even our closest neighbours in allied medical departments.

@ muta

You are referring to tetanus.


However, you did not explain how the mother immigrated to the States 6 years ago yet her baby whose umbilical cord was covered with dung, is six days old in nigeria.

Can you clear that up.

Did the mother return to nigeria ?

A 6-day-old boy is brought to the emergency department for inability to feed for 12 hours. His parents report that the infant has been unable to open his mouth and has held his hands clenched all day. The infant was delivered at home by the grandmother. The mother had no access to prenatal care but says that the pregnancy was uncomplicated. The mother immigrated to the United States 6 years ago. Physical examination shows increased muscle tone throughout, arching of the back, and dorsiflexed feet. The umbilical cord is covered with a clump of soil. The mother says that it is customary in her village where she grew up to cover the umbilical stump with dung to speed cord separation. In addition to hygienic umbilical cord care, which of the following is the most effective strategy to prevent this condition?

A. Early postpartum breastfeeding
B. Prophylactic antibiotics
C. Prophylactic immune globulin
D. Vaccination of infants at birth
E. Vaccination of pregnant women

medschoolguy:
The stuffy roots of this thread have quite been lost, therefore something to stimulate us;

1). What is the pathogenesis of septic shock?

2). Only one gram +ve bacteria produces spores, which is it?

3). What are actinomycetes?

4). Discuss the in viva coagulation pathway.

5). A diabetes mellitus patient on oral hypoglycemic drugs was unresponsive and constantly hyperglycemic. However, with no change in dosage, she suddenly went into hypoglycemic coma. After the episode, she reduced her dose yet episodes of hyperglycemia still occurred. What could be the cause?

NB: Sorry that the questions are too easy. This is just to stimulate the chiefs to give us stuff.

Happy answering.

Guys in my school is going through the same thing. I am planning of leaving them with their unaccredited medical school.

lomaxx:


1) Endotoxin mediated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators

5) Type 1 DM?

medschoolguy:


1. Correct

2. Renal failure causes reduced clearance of the oral hyperglycemics increasing their duration of action in the system.

After the episode, she reduced her dose yet episodes of hyperglycemia still occurred.

muta1996:

she didnt return

lomaxx:



E. Vaccination of Pregnant Women.

tpiander:
