Inferiority complex

991:

my dear, to each, his/her opinion. 2weeks ago, i was in a hospital in Lagos to visit a sick friend, to my greatest surprise, a nurse was shouting at a waiting patient for vomiting inside the hospital arena. she later threaten that the sick patient should clean the vomit. but people there reacted angrily towards the nurse before she clean the vomit. to me, such a nurse is totally a semi educated savage.

i really do not know why some people would never desist from telling lies! What sort of hospital would have a nurse do the job of a cleaner? She had to clean up the vomitus indeed!

Doctors are not superhumans. Spending many years in uni/med school dosen't you one! Instead of them to learn to work together with the others who are truly indispensable, they carry on as the Pharoah's of the hospitals.
How would a doctor,say that nurses are not intelligent and have zero IQ's? You are simple an overfed ego maniac.

How many of them dare try a quater of their braggado in foreign hospitals? How many of us has been placed on wrong/harmful medications or diagnosed of wrong ailments?That's why someone like me would not hestitate to file a malpractice suit against any doctor that messess up.
Doctor's are as bad as nurses and both needs to change!

Lol. So many comments here got me smiling! One person being d head & giving instructions doesn't make him or her better, itz only necessary 4d system 2 function properly & orderly! The relationship btw Doctors & Nurses is synonymous 2 dat of a husband & wife. D fact dat d wife takes instructions 4rm d man doesn't make her lesser than him. Let her leave & he will realize he is so incomplete witout her!
That said. D issue of inferiority complex is a personal thing, in my opinion, & has nothing 2 do wit d system. As Brendan Francis(hope I'm right wit d name) rightly said & I quote, 'No one can make u feel inferior without ur consent!'
Kudos 2 all d Health Professionals, u guys re great!

tegax:

you probably have not visited any local hospital, or maybe you think every hospital is like the good ones you visit.

fellis:

That is how a lot of doctors think, unfortunately. Those ones always act like they are superhuman and believe that every other profession is inferior to theirs. Most doctors are not even intelligent; they just crammed their way through university but yet they act so pompous and arrogant as if medical doctor is another word for god.
Imagine what that onyi wrote, that a nurse's work requires zero iq and a child can do it. I wonder what type of treatment she deals to nurses working with her if this is the mindset she has.
That being said, I am not a nurse. I am just repulsed by the arrogance majority of doctors display.

That girl's post is a great insult to the nursing profession. what baffles me is that a good percentage of the mums of these medical students\doctors are nurses, yet they have no single respect for nurses. My mum is a nurse and I am VERY proud of her. I don't think any other profession would have suited her personality. She's so passionate about caring for people.

I don't know if arrogance and superiority are part of what is being thought to them in school because these traits are exhibited right from medical school. Most of them see other courses as inferior especially paramedics. Those ones have suffered ehn. Why won't they have inferiority complex, can't blame them.

Back then in school, I went to the hospital with 2 of my good friends, medical students..and as soon as they stepped into the hospital, their attitudes changed. They dint greet the nurses on seat, women old enough to be their mothers and just went to pick up a file (case note, I guess) in front of one of the nurses. The nurse then questioned them, calling them rude , bla bla. They initially ignored the woman,and went to their patient , did what they came to do and on their way out, they just said 'sorry ma' rudely and left.

If medical students can be that rude to old and experienced nurses in the presence of their patients, then what attitude does one expect from the patient or patient relatives to the nurses. Some patients and their relatives could be really frustrating. Been to my mum's hospital a couple of times and I just tell my mum 'thank God I dint study nursing'. I can't deal with all of these abeg. I'm not that patient and tolerant to BS. Nurses dey try oo.. But I agree some nurses are wicked and have little or no compassion. I ask my mum why they are In the nursing profession if they are not ready to care for people..

The other day my friend (med student) was gisting me about a clash with one of the nurses over cleaning up a patient and she was like "isn't that their job, to clean poo and urine" ..haba..nurses are not hospital maids or attendants, they went to school just like you, stop all these demeaning statements..

I have a lot of house officers and finalists as friends, my mum is a nurse and I work in a hospital environment so I know a lot about their attitudes.

Of course we still have a lot with good heads on their shoulders..those ones I admire and love to pieces. The doctors that attended to my sis during her surgery, I admire them and I call to greet them anywhere I come across them even if they don't see me.

I know they pass through a lot in medical school, being in nigeria, they spend more than necessary years in school, and I salute their perseverance and dedication, but they really need to calm down and not transfer their frustration to those who dint spend those years in school. Doctors cannot work alone, they need nurses and vice versa. They both need each other and should respect each other.

@ Nuoriah, So you still believe in this your know it all philosophy? SMH4U!talking about incompetence,what do you have to say about a doctor that prescribed IV chloroquine for a patient?or one that prescribed ampiclox 4g qds for a minor infection? Or a HO that said you use izal to treat diabetic foot?what do you have to say about the bunch of incompetent doctors killing patients because they don't want to believe that they don't know it all or don't wanna listen? ,if not for the protocol and law guiding the health care,you will bear with me that most of the nurses and doctors work will overlap.As if we didn't enter the same class with med students for anat,physio,biochem,pharmac. ,we monitor the patient and that is what we write in our nursing process and you work based on the information we give you,well unless you also don't listen to the nurses which is quite unfortunate. My dear,we are also there to catch your mistakes which a good doctor always appreciates The nurse also prevents the incompetent doctors from accidentally killing patients that is why we spend 5years in the university to learn all we know unlike you that spend just 6years learning the work of a doctor,nurse,lab scientist,pharmacist,radiographer,physiotherapist,nutritionist and recently I heard you will start learning traditional medicine(you mentioned earlier you know all that)! So hilarious!!real jack of all trade master of none . If you are a doctor my dear ,stick to that and stop trying to outdo others in their field. As for passing the MBBS, I have seen what they do in school in the name of writing professional exam! Its so painful when our so called medical students sort their way through, this is an exam where the brilliant ones fail while the dunces with little cash cross over. Its only in 9ja that this argument happens

Stegomiah: Don't know y d nurses A̶̲̥̅rε̲̣̣̣̥ complaining bout d nature of dia work, no mata ur profession, be proud of Ȋ̝̊̅̄†̥, even if U̶̲̥̅̊ b carpenter

We are not complaining abt our work n i am very proud 2 be a nurse. We're just reacting to some common misconceptions ppl have concerning d profession.

991:

you probably have not visited any local hospital, or maybe you think every hospital is like the good ones you visit.

so if truly, a nurse is expected to do same job as a cleaner in addition to hers, and ends up being paid peanuts afterwards, why wont she be frustrated and and decide to take out her anger on d patients? If u happen to be in her shoes, wont u? Last time i checked, cleaning of hospital isnt part of the job description of a nurse..... No?

Prince adebayo: When u know u can't cope with working as a nurse,y did u enter into it nd nt go into a medical skul where studnts are sacrificing a lot of hours reading nd studying just to obtain deir cert.,DOCTORS ARE THE HEAD,I MEAN THE HEAD OF AN HOSPITAL,take it or leave it.

Off point

@ Beautiful Onyi, your post just summerised your wrong personality, arrogance, and ignorance. You claime it takes only 3 years to be a nurse, you lied. It takes another 2 years after general nursing to specialise, that is second qualification. Then it takes another 4 years to have a degree, do the maths let see between a doc and a Nurse who spend more years studying. You also claim a child and an untrain person can practice nursing, that is the hight of ignorance.
Finally you exornorated foreign nurses from your insult. That tells me how ignorant you are, because you should know that the west african nursing corriculum is copied directly from the united kingdom.

Dr9ce: obviously! no basis for conparison...doctors do the brain work...nurses carry out the plan..and a few gud nurses does that well

Which one is doctors do only brainwork? Is it not a doc dat does d surgery proper, wound debridement, major wound dressings, catheter mgt, monitoring of patients in emergencies, prep of px for surg aside bowel prep n shaving, casualty work, dialysis etc. Where do u want me to end?
D docs she saw goin by 12 are consultants. Bfr nko, or does she expect a consultant to stay behind n set d I.V lines. Aside d theatre matrons, wat work do dier matrons do oda dan checking nursing processes.
@ OP, u just spoilt ur nice write-up by including doctors in it(negatively). Houseofficers do much more work dan u.

I dnt think all these comparisons wil take us anywer. Every profession is unique in its own way. I cnt disregard doctors simply because am a nurse. I have a lot of doctor frnds n they were very helpful to me during my sch days,i learnt a lot 4rm them,they learnt 4rm me too. Weneva i have any difficulty i col on them n they dnt fail 2 deliver. Sum of dem or most of dem r arrogant but i dnt see it as an offense,its their thing. Its only ppl wit personality issues dat go abt making unecessary comparisons.

I can really feel your pain. If you had known u shld hv studied mbbs instead..@least it aint easy fr someone 2 knw ol dose stuffs u mentioned above..

Yh she spoilt it by including doctors.

Many nurses have bad attitudes. What we should have worked on is how to tackle that rather than trying to bring others into it

fellis:

Do you honestly believe that doctors do more brain work than other professions because they sometimes make on the spot decisions?
You have probably never heard of lawyers and scientists.

sorry, but you havent proved me wrong...jst mention a few....

True talk. D op started beautifully, then it turned to hw docs r arrogant, wicked n ol dose stuff.. The topic is totally different from its content.

I am disappointed!!! U wanted to talk about the challenges facing nurses and u are blaming the doctors for it. That is highly irresponsible. I don't like people that can't accept responsibilty. Medicine is an organised field since the days of aristotle. The doctors give the instruction, the nurses and other paramedics carry out the instruction. That doesn't make the doctors proud or a god. There is no way u can give instruction to people and u won't step on toes. Doctors must ensure their instructions are carried out and sometimes u have to be firm to achieve this. It is in the best interest of the patient. A good nurse will recognise and will enjoy doing it cos ultimately that's what makes u a professional. Accept ur profession nurses. If u accept ur profession u won't see every doc as proud. Anybody can be proud but not because he is a doctor so if u see every doc as proud something must be wrong with ur perception of ur noble profession. U face ur own challenges doctors face their own challenges but an average doc will never blame nurses or pharmacist for their own problem. Learn

@op ur right at the same time wrong.No nurse is answerable to any doctor,nurses are not slaves to doctors,they are not in d same body.what business does nigeria medical and dental association got to do with nursing and midwery counsil of nigeria?

Very long though,I get your point.
While not trying to defend those med students,I see myself acting the same way if I have the assumption that I can get respected only by that means.

I said earlier that I was once at UCH. I hadnt even graduated med school and I ddnt study in Nigeria. The matron in d ward my family member was was very rude.

The first time she saw me she claimed I ddnt greet her when I cldnt even differentiate her from others. They all have all kinds of uniforms. I was there caring for a family member and she was demanding e kaaro from me? What part of her job entails that? To avoid trouble,I wld look for her and greet her whenevr I arrived(and that I wasnt in a good mood)

things Changed d day my aunts came into d ward and she insulted one of them. they shouted at her and made her realise I was a med student and that I was soon to be a doctor.

She changed towards me henceforth and I had a good interaction with d doctors and some other (few) nurses. So if it is d disreapect some people need to act right,you might just dish it to them.

The relationship is symbiotic, fine.

But someone gets to take d lead.
Stop being ridiculous with that bs about doctors paying their way out.

How come you are d one aware of that? Is ur bf one of them?

Immortal!:
Lol. So many comments here got me smiling! One person being d head & giving instructions doesn't make him or her better, itz only necessary 4d system 2 function properly & orderly! The relationship btw Doctors & Nurses is synonymous 2 dat of a husband & wife. D fact dat d wife takes instructions 4rm d man doesn't make her lesser than him. Let her leave & he will realize he is so incomplete witout her!
That said. D issue of inferiority complex is a personal thing, in my opinion, & has nothing 2 do wit d system. As Brendan Francis(hope I'm right wit d name) rightly said & I quote, 'No one can make u feel inferior without ur consent!'
Kudos 2 all d Health Professionals, u guys re great!

nice one from u.. I just finished my Bsc. Nursing last year and this whole thing is making me smile.. Well, it has always been like dis between doctors and nurses..

@Nuoriah,why would I have to study something I know I can never use?studying when I know I won't use upto 90% of the knowledge.why cram all the diseases I know I can never see in my life time?even when I eventually see them,I wouldn't even be able to know what it is?go to the westerned world and know how everybody concentrates on what they do without trying to interfer wiTh others work,no wonder we are still far behind!and why would I wanna write mbbs exam which is not even a standardized exam? As for where I got the info,it is very rampant in the university I graduated from and I have loads of medical students then as friends,my roomie was a medical student so I know what am saying. Any way,its of no use arguing with someone with your kind of mentality.with this attitude, don't think nigerian health system is going anywhere.

Prettychyna: @beautiful onyi,You sounded so bitter,why? Can't believe that a doctor can be this myopic. Is that what you were told in school?that you alone make use of your brain while others are dunces. This is the same thing we have been saying all this while,your statement defines the kind of doctor you are. You mean to tell me that I spent 5years in the university learning just that? And am being paid well for it? Wow,that sounds so great! Did the pharmacist also spend 6years in the uni learning how to count and dispense drugs? You need to wake up girl,no need to ague with somebody who is probably suffering from delusion of grandeur

lol @ pharmacists counting drugs . A nurse once tld me that she heard we were taught how to treat nurses as subordinates while in sch ,wtf!!how can that be true.I think this problem is more of a mind thing than its actual.For me,nurses re my collegues & i treat them well to the best of my ability & professionalism.

Nurses in the labour ward in Govt. hospitals are very mean...you need to see them laughing at women, as they cope through labour. What's your excuse for that hmmn? and by insinuating that doctors and nurses do the same amount of work...The average nurse works an eight hour shift, some six hours, they get 5 days night off. Do you do 24hr calls or 48 hour calls. Anyway, lets not even go to surgery. But, i don't like the idea of nurses comparing themselves with doctors, its just un-professional...abeg, compare yourselves with some other profession

@911 you should know u are referring to noble professionals as "bunch of salvage", I would love to know what kind of hospital you went to or how many nurses you ve encountered? Or have you lived all your life in d hospital to b able to know so much about nurses? Maybe you are an invalid....mtcheeew

I am a tad late to the thread, but from what I have been able to glean so far, the Nurses are eager to take on more responsibility--which is a very welcome development. First off, I am rather disappointed that instead of giving logical reasons to defend the unsavory description of nurses, the Thread Starter instead resorted to the blame game--'we are bad, but doctors made us so' --its rather disappointing. Med lab scientists, Pharmacists, Nurses all think that the Doctor is their common enemy.I often wonder where this hurt stems from...

Believe me, if I started to tell you about the shocking mispractices of your so-called Matrons, we won't be done today.

agabasam: sorry, but you havent proved me wrong...jst mention a few....

First of all, you are not a medical doctor so stop trying to sound like you are one.
Secondly, all professions have their worth; from the rocket scientist to the janitor in schools. Every profession contributes meaninfully to the smooth running of society so they should all be appreciated and not looked down on. The machines that help doctors do their work; the CT scanner,x-ray etc, they were not designed by doctors but by engineers. Doctors didn't make the syringes, scalpels, scissors and gloves they use either.
They didn't make the drugs they administer to the patients in need of it and they didn't make the sterilizing fluid or soap they use to avoid contacting some type of infection from the patients they treat. The people that made these things are the ones that make it possible for doctors to do their jobs easily and efficiently so why not appreciate them?
If professions like teaching and business management do not exist then how would the doctors learn what they learnt in the university and how will the smooth running of the hospital take place?
Doctors apply brain power in their work does not make theirs the most superior profession. Policemen and soldiers that put their lives at great risk for people they don't know have a far more altruistic job yet you don't see them raising their shoulders the way doctors do.
Why will the so called intelligent doctors not be able to reason these things and stop acting so condescending towards other professions?

Lastly, fine, I agree that most doctors are intelligent but that does not mean that those in other professions are stupíd. The most intelligent person I have met in my life is not a doctor, he did not even study a science course in university but he is one of the brightest minds you will ever meet. Intelligence can be found in every profession, it is not restricted to medicine and surgery. Not everybody with high iq desires to study medicine and surgery.
