Elnino4ladies: ..ar u dis daft..??..this is a matter of lives nd death nd u here givin silly comparism...u nid brain surgery asap...

jayseehe: heartless doctors

SAPEDRO:
nine years ke? did u repeat thrice, i think itz six years in skul while others like nurses, pharm, physios spend six years, so i dont knw where u see ur own three years o, hian! not all doctors do this though, but all this small greedy quack doctors telling lies about years since 1756, God will see us, mind you those clamouring for consultant positions will be subjected to further training before they can be one

onagoodday:
Did you just say 9yrs....abeg who say make u dey fail...carry ur frustration go one side.

chioma134:
You're no different from GEJ and wife."Chibok girls' kidnap is a scam. Opposition is just using it to destroy my 2015 presidential aspiration."

johnwarax: .

It will not. It will act as a form of compensation to them.

And moreover an average doctor works 24hours for 15days in a month and 12hours for the other 15days, that is to say they have only another 12hours for 15days to spend with their family, so me think they should be paid N1million for hazard.

And these nurses only works based on night/day shift for 5days in federal hospitals.

Lecturers receives not less than 40k in my school as hazard allowee.

YourHealthlabs: These NMA stethoscope-hangers should stop their noise-making and blackmail of JOHESU. What exactly can a physician do to treat an Ebola patient?.


When the whole world knows that the best a suspected ebola patient can do is to get the infection confirmed by a Laboratory investigation conducted by the Scientists, the Scientist does not need you to teach him how to diagnose Ebola. Consequently, intensive supportive care is administered through rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes or intravenous fluids-a procedure that can be carried out by a dedicated Nurse. A well-trained nurse does not need NMA to teach her how to do that.

Stop overestimating your importance by writing off other health professionals. If you won't work simply keep quiet....Sirs and madams.

Everyone needs each other. Health care is Multidisciplinary with the Patient in the middle and everyone around him.
No single professional is more important than the other. Not vertical not horizontal.

Onegai: Fear.

Nigerians don't like risking their lives for anything. Have you seen LUTH, GH Island or any GH? Do we even have protective suits for hazardous illnesses? Health workers are more likely to catch it than regular people. So the strike will linger and doctors will refuse to go back.

My brother has already given out tips: I've got hand sanitizer and I may end up getting plastic gloves and a face-mask. No-one is sure if it can turn airborne at close contact (100m), which is what to expect if you use the Lagos public transport. And danfo conductors, wetin concern am with hand sanitizer, even the girl who sold me mine at the phramacy was telling me "only Jesus saves" and not using hand sanitizer till I eyed her, she laughed and used a bit. And Nigerians are forever coughing/sneezing into their hands or turning away to their side to do so/spit, then wiping on their clothes and handing you money.
Our hospitals aren't equipped to deal with this and should they find 5 more victims, most will shut down in panic (those head matrons at GH will be the first to abscond).

dexterinc2003: These 'johesuites' above no dey tire?
How many of u talking trash are willing 2 get in A bus with a confirmed ebola virus infected patient for just 1 minute?
But yall can say anything about drs who are locked up in wards all day wit patients wit all sorts(hepatitis,hiv,ebola,lassa) for N5,000 monthly hazard allowance(diaris goduoo)...
As a matter Of fact i think all health workers(cleaners included)should recieve a hazard allowance of nothing less than N100,000.
Not some ppl fighting 2 head hospitals or 2 be called consultants...get ur priorities right people.
PS: ebolavirus has no cure presently...once you get it,YOU WILL DIE!!

Katakore: . They say little knowledge is dangerous. Have you ever heard of the word "complications"? What if Ebola patient develop end organ failure? Can you diagnose and treat that? Please stop assuming that you can manage such cases.

deols: The doctors make demands. The government should reason and provide them for the benefit of all.


Doctors work 24/7 taking care of their patients but these patients seem to care less about what happens to those doctors.

In Liberia, the chief doctor in charge of treating people with the Ebola is said to be under treatment for the same ebola virus.

How can a Nigerian doctor, who was never appreciated all the while, go ahead and be involved when all of their demands for better healthcare infrastructure, for remuneration and for the protection of the dignity of their practice have been denied them. The same Nigerian populace, who suffer more from all these should be drumming the need to see to the needs of the doctors into the government's ears but they are too driven by sentiments and their judgemental attitude to see what is really going on.

People are dying in case none is close to you due to these strikes and the doctors have nothing to lose since the private hospitals are owned by them. Nigerians should be asking the government to do what is right!

Nurses, pharmacists etc are not consultants. They are doing almost nothing at the hospitals right now.

The dignity of the great profession must be protected.and Doctors have every right/conscience to do that.

The government has to see reason and the populace need to be reasonable as well.


God bless Nigeria.

timowale: ?

are you saying doctors are superhuman to diagnose cases without intervention of those in the field ?its obvious your ego is driving you insane.health institution has always and continue to function effectively,when individual players perform at the best only within the confine of their profession.

prettyprettywow:
He added that a situation where doctors are paid N5000.00 monthly allowance for hazard is not only laughable but unbelievable. Ojo said, “A doctor’s life can be lost in an instance when exposed to fatal illnesses such as Ebola, Lassa fever or he may be subjected to a life-long suffering from HIV or Hepatitis B infection.”

pluto3: make nurse consultants n d lab scientists dat are now heading d hospitals do d job na.... foolish nigerians.... dats y dis country has refused to progress....

ismokeweed: Lab rats/scientists... do the needful. Since you want Same title and privileges as doctors, then do their work.

tuoyoojo: Its now time for the other health professionals to show us their worth. Take an abola patient to any of the general hospital and watch the other health staff avoid d patient like a plague.

They claim they can be doctors, now its time to show us wetin dem carry for head!

Oya my lab man consultant, go na take blood sample from d ebola guy

aluunoble:

The stone which ur builders rejected will soon become the head of the corner (Med. Lab. Scientists). Where Doctors do guess work (conjecture and refutation, we are precise) the so called Ebola Virus 1st case in Nigeria was properly diagnosed by a Medical Lab Scientis in LUTH even without ur guyz... Shame on enemy sorry NMA

profGinger: Rubbish set of people doctors my foot.
