Me asking this questions i am a Jobless fool

Fixed!

lakamua: residents are the doctors. maybe mr president thinks consultants are d ones that run the hospitals. prof chukwu is not advising u well. they are too many to replace . 80 percent is not a small number

That's what most Nigerians think.

phantom:

how do you want doctors to fight ebola when the same FG cant protect them. doctors will be comitting suicide if they try to fight the scourge because as i type this,there is no plan on ground.
No protective hazmat suits. no life insurance. no drugs. what has become of the health personel who haver been treating victims in lagos.
if they were adequately equipped,none of them would have gotten infected.

what has your governmemnt done to check movement in and out of the country?

go to MMIA and the other major airports in the country and see if you will find an ebola testing station.

well...there is.....
Spacemen with thermometers

..n d populace expects d Drs to go to modern warfare carrying dane guns.
Abi we shld also use sanitizers like every oda layman?

shey..d F.G has declared Ebola a national emergency, why hasn't NEMA uptill now implemented, nationwide, d emergency protocols? ?

Jokers

lakamua: residents are the doctors. maybe mr president thinks consultants are d ones that run the hospitals. prof chukwu is not advising u well. they are too many to replace . 80 percent is not a small number

I don't want to believe that the minister is privy to this though you can't trust politicians . wasn't he a resident he of all people should know how the system works.

Let's see giw this plays out.

[b][/b]another wasted sperm,totally clueless chap.dear Lord plz forgive him cos he doesn't kno wat he is saying

phantom: I sincerely hope you can afford a trip to India......

Useless doctor, talking as if Nigerians have not been traveling to India before; even when you guys were your useless best. Ungrateful things

Men dis our top poeple r seriously unserious never seen such kind of daft rulers . May God halp us all nd seve us. Which one will we face is it bokoharam, ebola or our stupid shallow brain leaders

Confirmed now that the FGN has released a lettrer to the ministry of
health directing it to
Suspend d residency programme
CMDs to sack all resident with 1 month salary in lieu
Board to ensure hospital runs with locus medical officers renewable 6monthly
Consultants are left out
Divide and RULE
Casual ideation of medical profession

Way forward
1. EDM immediately
2. NMA directs MDCAN to embark on strike over unconstitutional sack of
our students and stoppage of specialization in the nation.( the court
case in question do not affect these matter)
3. NMA direct MDCN to withdraw training of medical students
4. NMA directs all doctors not to pick up any locus job and enforce it
via picketing
5. Any CMD that enforces the sack is black listed
6. Group practice to Cather for our needs to be set up

Callistus Enyuma

Sorry I am bit lost here. What's Residency training all about?. What are the implications of this move by the FG

Serve them right

FOOLISH PRESIDENT EVER RULETH - GOATLUCK EBOLA JONADWARF

WORST ADMINISTRATION EVER - GOATLUCK'S ADMINISTRATION

phantom: its official! our president and his advisers are r.etarded.

I sleep well at night knowing I have not contributed to the present rot by not voting this man in 2011.

what have you contributed to the present progress?

i know what your response will be 'you must insult me'

Checkmate

Zoologist thinking. Zoology, microbiology, botany graduates are all people who could not meet the required scores to study medicine. A superiorly mediocre student like gej, who could not find employment outside of a university.

I smell no brain and bad belle.

I wonder what kind øƒ job the "so called advicers" øƒ d President are doing and which kind side there brain dey always face.#u G̶̲̥̅̊Q̶̲̥̅̊ fear decisions nowadys.

dotuna3: I think Mr president decision is as a result of the present pressure he has with the health sector especially with the Ebola virus. I think the doctors also shld help. I don't think with dis out break our doctors shld be on strike at all. I mean for what reason would they go on strike wen they knw hw challenging this Ebola virus is.

The doctors shld just forget this strike issue. Save us of Ebola den we Nigerians we fight for your right for you if Mr president refuse. Is it after the Ebola issue die down den u wanna surface? Indeed u earn no respect and diginity again from we Nigerians. Pls do what is right at the right time.No time to check time

LASUTH had an Ebola scare on Monday, someone even created a thread about it. Do you know what your govt did?


THEY GAVE THE WHOLE OF LASUTH ONLY 3 BIOHAZARD SUITS TO USE.

For a teaching hospital....with staff of over 300....in a medical crisis that kills medical staff more than random people on the road...

YOU ARE SUPPORTING THAT?!!

Forget having to travel to India for treatment, India will lock its borders to Nigeria (as will several countries) once this virus gets out of hand. Don't you realise that out of all the health workes who met the Liberians, the doctors took the most precaution, treated themselves and quarantined early, and are surviving?? The $8.1mil GEJ shouted he has shared for Virus outbreak, didn't they send only $1mil to Lagos (the only state with confirmed cases got the least). Abi no be LASG who immediately declared each isolation ward cost N20mil?? Profit-in-disaster No doctor wants to resume as they haven't been provided with hazmat suits, nurses in a lot of hospitals are codedly turning away patients who have any fever symptoms.

GEJ till when Nigerians have been wiped out to too few to complain about bad governance , because you truly don't deserve better

What a silly action? Anyone that has been in teaching hospital knows that resident doctors do 70% of the work. Locum doctors can never be as good as the resident doctors. I expect more avoidable deaths in our hospitals. When Nigerians understand the implication of the decision, they will rise to action. Who will take over from those old consultants when they retire? Chei! Jonathan is clueless o.

Story that touches the heart. sobs.......
Notwithstanding, Nigerian doctors remains the most useless of them all. Trust me; am talking from experience.

I must commend Nigerians for their bravery. First country
with an Autistic President.

It is a welcome development.
-from APC member. I'm always on the side of the truth.

jjwaterfalls: On my own point of view , for once am in support of GEJ's decision. I think his plan is a way of throwing confusion into d NMA so dat dey can come to dia senses dt dia demAndS ar unrealistic. But come to think of it why will doctors put money ahead of peoples lives, dey arent bothered becos I guess dey ar still receiving salary. It is rilly unfair. Ar dey d only workerS exposed to hlth hazardS? Wat abt d nurse who is with d pt 24hrs why didn't dey say dey want to die? Wat abt d lab scientistss and oda hlth workers?

Abeg goodluck ride on jare

. Don't mind dem, som idio.ts are so used to criticisin wateva GEJ does dat dey don't even hav time to tink outside d box. I tink dis is a gud move by d FG

phantom: the plan is to suspend residency->NARD can't vote at the next NMA edm->strike is called off->suspension is then lifted. masterstroke!

'NARD' has few votes at EDM, state NMAs ( dominated by resident doctors and products of NARD) constitute majority of delegates at EDM, they will vote as ' members of NMA' not as members of 'NARD'

Rubbish. .

A country were a zoologist with no political science nor law degree govern....what a country.

phantom:

this is what the m.orons do not know.....
effectively they ll be sh**ting on multiple laws governing the running of medicine and teaching hospitals in this country.

ebola is ravaging your country,where your doctors are on strike. your response to the situation is to fire the single largest body of doctors. the doctors WHO ACTUALLY KEEP THE HOSPITALS GOING. funny indeed.

okay the President should go on his knee and beg the doctors abi?

where are the jonathanians

[quote author=Profayo]Some people are so ignorant of the hippocratic oath,as if the oath says medical doctors should not be paid.They say doctors put money before patients,so doctors should not be collecting salary abi? For your information,doctors spend more time with patients than the time they spend with their own family,yet some fools says doctors are not commited.The only way a doctor makes up for the time away from their family is what they bring home at the end of the month for all the time they spent attending to others,yet some fool says doctors put money ahead of patients.Fashola packed mad people on the streets,he forgot some are online.[/q

#gbam!

phantom: we have officially entered the bloody phase of the strike just like what was attempted for ASUU.
the FG wants to test the resolve of its doctors by officially suspending the residency training program and firing all resident doctors.
consequently,they want to employ foreign and local doctors to work with the consultants.
HOs, registrars and senior registrars have been fired.
no more specialist training!
the national and west African post graduate colleges will also cease to function.
Nigerians should therefore expect the hospitals to open soon and too be run by fresh doctors.

aluta continua....

Good move by fg
Enough of these nonsense!

Some are useless. But others are very worthwhile, CMD of First Consultant is a diamond (he's so good). Why do you think those doctors re still alive, 3 weeks after? It was doctors that said to govt "go to Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo state and get their medical staff to train Lagos public health workers. Those guys are trained in how to handle Lassa fever (which is very similar to ebola in symptoms and infection rate), so they will teach us sharply, because everyone is scared".
Even Irrua is not ready to handle ebola, the same govt that let measles and other viral vaccines finish in the country (so we are now at risk of contracting Yellow Fever, which is worse than ebola because it is mosquitoes that transfer it), the same govt cannot maintain isolation wards in either LUTH, Mainland or Irrua, that cannot fund Prof Iwu's research for years or even medical education, the same govt with the highest paid Senators in the world, and 9 private jets in the Presidential fleet, una dey support? If you knew what I knew! You would be staying home, praying in tears for 42 days to pass with no new infection.

If not for doctors, the Liberian called his Ambassador who then called his "big men in Naija govt" to release him from First Consultant. Only the doctors stood firm and said until his PCR test came back, no release. Else, we would be at 50 infected people by now.

This is NOT the time to say "No money or no morale", give doctors and nurses ANYTHING THEY WANT (short-term) and start shoring up the Medical health education in the country which is so poor longterm. Only LUTH can accurately diagnose Ebola, half the professors in uni have never used the machine. That is what doctors are fighting for. And hazard pay of N5000? Will you take even one bag of rice to his family once he gets infected?

I'm not a doctor but I've been so demoralised seeing FG's true nature about this outbreak. I and a friend were going to donate hand sanitisers in July to GH in Lagos, see how everyone who heard was thanking me. Ordinary hand sanitiser, we don't have in hospitals fighting a viral outbreak. LUTH is given millions and yet, their ECG machine will catch fire when patient is inside and your president will send his wife to Germany for months for treatment rather than subject her to what he subjects you to. And you support him. No accountablilty or responsibility from govt, so the board too, loots.

Osanobua, it is truly the rich who can afford to leave this country that are fighting for good governance. GEJ till America pities Nigeria and sends 10 bottles of Zmapp that una will fight over, out of fear and desperation

Congratulations!

I have said it before in my other post; the Drs are cheats.

We have seen several posts here on NL from supposed Drs who are happy and comfortable being on strike and the reasons are not far fetched.

1. They are getting paid (with tax payers money) for staying at home.
2. They cut jobs at one private hospital or the other.
3. 70percent of them are incompetent and unprofessional.

Though am not a fan of GEJ but am with him on this one (though am sure it will be reversed).

If the Drs must go on strike at any time for whatever reason, the helpless patients (masses) should not be the only one at the receiving end, they (Drs) should sacrifice something as well which include forfeiting their salaries for as long as they stay off work.

"No pain, No gain" they say.
