Sir Doclight...
I have been following this thread since you opened it... I didn't really plan to talk, but i decided to cos of some things.
These thread will only confuse you... Why? Everybody wants to put his course/profession up. Thats a problem we have on nairaland and it's because most people who are meant to be literates don't behave like one...
.
And its funny you didnt get what OluAfolabi was trying to say. ... You should start reading novels.

Dentistry of course is the closest to MBBS...
Infact, dentistry is never a substitute to medicine...Dentistry itself is medicine.....
The only thing is that most Nigerians are shortsighted n they think all a dentist knws is the teeth.
.
Dental students do the same courses with mbbs students ryt from preclinicals.. They learn about every cell, tissue n organ of the human body. They learn everything. And they still do their own courses, making them busier n more knowledgeful than mbbs students....**In preclinicals...mbbs guys do anat,physio, n biochem.. Dental peeps do anat,physio,biochem, oral anat,oral physio.
.
They have many things in common..
They all have specialties, which means you can specialize after ur undergradyate study.
They have the same associations.
They follow the same ranking system.
They do the same things at work...clerking,ward rounds,diagnosis,prescription etc.
Dentists can partake in normal patient cares.
Dentists are not physicians...They are Surgeons...
.
When you see them at functions, you wont even know who is who.. Cos they are one.
Dentists can rise to being CMDs(heads of hospitals)...
.
Now,tell me which of those courses offers that......

Open up to them bro, if they share in your dream, they will accept it. It's your life and it's what you've always wanted, make them understand that it's the only place you can find joy. The truth is that you fvcked up. You should have spoken to one of them about your interest in taking another jamb or maybe your brother or a close relative, it would have been easier for you.


On a second thought, how come you're just saying this??.. Has it not been long you got the admission, has Unijos not started 100l already??... You may want to create a thread to get audience tho. All the best
