It is high time we take the issues that lead to NMA srike one by one and debate it intellectually rather than all this name calling and abuse. Now to the issue of consultancy status. Other health worker want to be appointed as consultants in the hospital while doctors are against it. I want each professional group to come out and argue intellectually including the doctor to address the following questions. 1) who is a consultant in hospital? 2) what are the roles of a consultant in my profession in patient care? 3)What is the relationship between a consultant in my proffesion to the patient? 4)Why it is not good to appoint other proffessional groups as consultant in hospital setting? 5)In what field of my profession can someone become a consultant? 6) how is my duty as a consultant in my proffession going to be different what it is presently? 7) does the hospital setting have a space for me to perform such duty? what training is required to become appointable as consultant in my proffession? 9)How do i go about this training? 10)Are there training institutions in nigeria or elsewhere? PLEASE NO INSULT, NO NAME CALLING. Just argue for or against what you want and what you dont want base on ur proffession. It is meant to drive home ur demand.

...what i am going to say is so lengthy. Give me sometimes let me organise my mind well. BRB

I dey come.

I find it rather strange that only two people have commented on this post thus far. The moderators should please put this very important post on the front page. The OP has raised pertinent questions that need answering from both sides especially the allied health workers for we the public to understand their agitations. Is it that the doctors are right afterall because this silence is deafening. I've seen other post such as electricity been turned off in a teaching hospital in Uyo or that of doctors charging patients to rent a drill making front page. This posts border on sensationalism and if they can make front page I challenge the moderators of this section to put this also on the front page for an intellectual discuss.

I will keep my fingers crossed till all the parties involve will come out to discuss the issues. I wonder why it is only insult and name calling that we engage ourselves in rather than intellectual discussion.
