DrLuv:
@donaldgene or what do u call ur self....you can not even respond to a post without making grammatical errors..
mtweew...spectators just making comments based on what they think they know..,or based on assumptions or rumours about doctors,nma or other health care personnels.by now every sane nigerian should know the way the government functions,particularly when Fg wants to circumvent the proper things to be done.immagine i've not even seen any post that seems to address the federal government to löök into the mätter well and accedes to the demands,all accusingly fingers are pointing to the doctors as if they have inherent prejudice or "beef" for the doctors..

Lmao! who's this douche naively accusing me of committing grammatical fallacy..In what sense, do you mean I made "Grammatical blunders"? or are you telling me you simply can't read properly?

...And to reiterate what I said earlier before you quoted me with your needles drivelling, "are you guys the ONLY PROFESSION?" you think you guys are better than others right because you know how to stitch wound right? You can't type correctly and you have the presence of mind to say I gaffe in a public forum like this..

It might interest you that the experimental Ebola Drug "ZMAPP" is produced by those of us who are into "Biotechnology" and then we are the ones making Medicine easy,all the surgical kits, reagents, Chemicals are all manufactured by us..Can you deny that? I am sure you know if there's NO Biotechnology you guys are useless job-wise. Who is going to find cure for drugs for you guys to administer ? don't get me riled up this morning Mr.Man
So next time you want to engage me knowledgeably, You have to up your Intellectual game
You just succeeded in wasting my time responding

Malawian:
so that is all you can respond? my chemist is smarter than me.

Of course he is. When you swallow what you don't know under the mixing technique ' chemist et al 1296 B.C'
I feel sorry for you.

u cant sack over 12,000 docs na. just a waste of time

Doctors can become a medical officer and follow the
cadre as a civil servant, then they can experience
the brunt other health workers suffer

A child must obey his father who labour to
pay his school fees. If the child decide to
attack the father in a commando style or
snake in the monkey shadow style, the father
have no choice than to defend himself so
that other children can continue to benefit
his paternal love & care.
Federal Government pays RESIDENCY
TRAINING FEE of Medical Doctors for them
to be CONSULTANTS. The Pharmacists,
Nurses, Medical Laboratory Scientists, etc do
not enjoy this generous love from Fed Govt
but Medical Doctors have continually
enjoyed this benovolence for years & at the
same time like "Jackie Chan" they balance in
a Karatic style threatening Fed Govt not to
dare extend such favour to other Health
Professionals.
Now that Fed Govt have said I WONT PAY
YOUR FEES AGAIN FOR RESIDENCY TRAINING
& HAVE ISSUED THEM SACK LETTERS AS
RESIDENT DOCTORS because of their
disrespect & backstabing, rushing into strike
despite our National Challenge with Fed Govt
paying their fees plus salaries, what will NMA
do?

enny09: Doctors can become a medical officer and follow the

Lol. Now I see your problem.

Yes, we don't need Doctors. We have TB Joshua.[/quote].lmao

enny09: When government pay so much to train only doctors residency program in Nigeria and instead of doctors to be greatful they still threatened government with strikes, what do you expect government to do, now government will use the money to employ and pay only full term staff to work in the hospital, and if any medical professionals want residency program you will have to pay for it yourself, simple as ABC.

Your ignorance is on a kentro level.

The whole plan is to make NARD turn against the rest of NMA.
It is just a political move that will not work. The consequences are too dire to contemplate.
This strike can only be resolved by dialogue no other way.
As a society,we should just be glad for this strike. Else,Sawyer would have landed in LASUTH and you don't want to imagine the casualty rate by now. Ordinary private hospital contacts,we are struggling to cope. Imagine if he landed in the A&E of Lasuth?

Royver: 1. president sacks all resident doctors
2. President employs locum doctors all of whom will be overworked.
3. Patient comes in with Ebola fever, but since it cannot be differentiated from Malaria fever, nobody is alerted.
4. Also no protective equipment for doctor and no protection for other patients.
5. Ebola patient sits next to another patient and sneezes, sweats, cleans hands on the chair and gists with other patients, shaking thier hands, borrowing biro and newspapers from them, touching them.
6. The Ebola virus spreads.
7. Patient enters to see the already overworked and dirty doctor, the doctor touches patient and gets infected.
8. Doctor sees other patientd and infects them as well.
9. No test kit to even check if the patient has ebola
10. One(1) person with ebola entered the hospital. All(20? 50? 100?) the people the doctor saw in his room leave the hospital with the Ebola virus.


And you Nigerians are still trading insults.
Instead of you to see the health implications of what is about to happen, you are sitting comfortably in your rooms typing droppings about doctors online because you finally have a chance to showcase your hate.
A disaster is on your doorstep and you think by sending doctors back to work the Ebola virus will miraculously disappear.
The same people who say doctors are useless are the same ones clamouring that they return and work wonders with no equipment, no drugs, no test kits, NOTHING.
The Problem is not just the President.
The problem is also the citizens.
This country is to be pitied.

And all these u mentioned hv not happened for over a month u hv sat at home doing nothing?
I expected the doctors to call of this strike the following day this virus visited Nigeria and after we hv won the fight, they can continue the strike. U wouldn't hv believed the support u would hv gotten from the masses then. But I think the doctors were believing that with the visitation of ebola, d govt will meet all their demands sharperly nd beg dem to return to their duty posts.... Hahahahahaha, u hvnt met irony yet!

stop gloating stupidly! where were you when NMA went out enmasse defying their strike to attend to bomb victims in kano and kaduna?
a thread was opened here to support that move but you shameless nigerians avoided it like a plague all because you all were too proud to acknowledge that show of sympathy by NMA.

your govt has not done anything to combat ebola. where are the HAZMAT SUITS? 20 suits for the whole of lagos and 1000 suits for your idiotic leaders and their cronies in abuja.
what is abuja doing with 1000 hazmat suits now even when a single case has not been recorded?? so that your criminally minded president and his family,senators,reps,ministers and their cronies can continue to loot while wearing our hazmat suits.

funny country with funny people.

if you nigerians think the doctors will sacrifice themselves for you,you are on a long thing...


ask your government to guarantee our protection and that of our families then we can start from there BUT if you think doctors are going to put their lives on the line for a government that has not deeemed it fit to honour people like samuel okwaraji 25 years after, you guys are joking.

do you know how many patients have died because öf NMA strike? Nma strike is not a blessing in disguise like you are trying to nail.

FG is not stupid. It's been long but don't tell me you guys did not see it coming! i mean the Sack.

i hope for your sakes the sack in temporal and I pray so but its also time for Drs to learn to practice their profession according to ethics.

How on earth can anyone reason with Drs going on strikes because they do not want other health workers to become consultants or Directors or intern medical labs placed on CONHESS 8 STEP 2.

Now, all the Drs here are talking about effect of their Sacking on national health.

when were Drs ever concerned about national Health in this country? they go on strikes in the name of poor health facilities and end up only with better pay packages and conditions öf service for themselves

where was their concern for national health when they refusef to call off strike even in the face of ebola?

THE FG MET VIRTUALLY ALL THEIR DEMANDS AND HAD TO CHALLENGE THEM TO A PUBLIC DEBATE TO WHICH THEIR LEADERSHIP DECLINED WITH TERRIBLE REASONS

What was their contributions to national health when they were on strike?

THEIR DECEIT AND MANIPULATION OF FACTS IS OBER BOARD!!!

THEY TALK ABOUT SURGEON GENERAL AS IS AVAILABLE IN US AND INSIST ON OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS NOT BECOMING CONSULTANTS AS IS THE CASE IN THE SAME US. THE SAME APPLIES TO HEADSHIP OF HOSPITALS IN WHICH CASE THEY WOULD RATHER RESULT TO LAME REASONS BRINGING IN PILOT HOSTESS EXAMPLE AND REFUSE TO QUOTE DEVELOPED CLIMES ON THIS.

I believe that well meaning Nigerians on public forums like these are experiencing a little taste of what other health professionals have been passing through "under" Doctors. THEY WILL HAUL INSULTS OR RESPOND WITH REASONS SHOWING SUPERIORITY AND INSECURITY WHEN EVER ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING CONTRARY TO THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IN NIGERIA THOUGH THE POST APPEALS TO COMMON SENSE.

THE biggest problem in Nigeria is mismanagement not necessarily absence of funds. Drs have run the health system of this country down through mis management. they are the ones who are ministers and CMDs and almost all the Directorates in the health sector are headed by them

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.

very daft idiot. Your reasoning level must be so low. Your intellect sef is questionable. So because a doctor spends more time with a patient it means the doctor is committed Fucking hell! What hospital do you work sef? Mhen e be like say na only doctors dey work for naija o.. BTW GUYS WE NEED TO START ANALYZING THE INTELLECT OF THIS PEOPLE CHATTING SHIT HERE. Retardeen doctor!

the truth is bitter .NMA colonised MPH in 9ja.it is not a secret.Few people that did it that are not MBBS doctors know the truth about this and wetin they do.Some schools in naija even clearly put it in their advert for MPH

yes!!!! doctors are also in charge of failing education and security abi? or will you also blame those ones on lecturers/teachers and police/soldiers? use your head.

none of you here have actually asked to know the true position of things. you believe everything hook line and sinker from the FG. the same people claiming to take care of Ebola victims only for the affected to say otherwise.the same people that let lectures and students sit at home for a good 6months!!! asup lecturers,1year!
if govt has agreed to all demands,why is nma still on strike??

Onegai:

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

Everything is good about your numerous posts on this thread and subject except SINGLING out ONLY the federal government to be chastised.
I imagine that you are aware how excellent Fashola sent his father to the UK for treatment while at the same time threatening to sack Lagos doctors on strike.
Moreover the BASIC issues of sanitation, hygiene & environmental work/ MONITORING is the constitutional RESPONSIBILITY of the states and LGAs, which ensures PREVENTION, which is better than cure.

Thanks for your personal engagement in helping out as best you can to fight this epidemic outbreak.

phantom: if govt has agreed to all demands,why is nma still on strike??

i believe that question is yours to answer. i dont want to believ this is another APC thing like the last ASUU strike.

Na wah oh. Where I work patients were already getting 6 months appointments to be seen in our clinic and that was with 6 residents. So now one or two consultants alone maybe now it will take about 18 months to get an appointment. The surgical waiting list will now be even longer apart from emergencies the waiting list will maybe be as long as 2 years. Who knows if we are luv they may even sack the consultants and close down the teaching hospitals!

the problem in health sector is that some of the professionals are not good in adapting to changes.the doctors are finding it difficult to accept that other professions are expanding,improving and evolving. they find it hard to accept that Nurses can be degree holders,master and PhD holders.they keep comparing medicine and nursing which can never be compared cos they are two different progression.One says its 6yrs course the other said its 5 years both when graduated are degree Holders. they do internship which nurses will start very soon,pharmacy and med lab are doing the same internship.pls people on appointment drs start on grade level12 other 8,and 10 and here they are asking of relativity saying yet d salary of a nurse on 12 shld not be equal to that of dr on 12 not minding that the nurse must have put up not less than 9 years to 12yrs to get to that grade level 12 that a newly employed dr is starting like wise other health professionals.they don't want others yo be consultants when the body regulating that profession has stipulated the criteria for their members to be consultants saying that they d drs suffer to be a consultant.pls if for instance nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria state that for one to be a nurse consultant he must be a masters degree holder in nursing and must have gone through with courses with west African council of nursing and is now a fellow is that not their criteria? must d nurse go through the same drs procedure to be a consultant nurse?mind you we are talking of consultant nurse not dr here if the doctors feel they suffer too much to be a consultant they shld take it up with their regulating body for it to be reducesl.is it the issue of a director where other proffesionals outside health get to direct and now drs said that even If u have PhD that when u get to asst director you shld remain there .OK 100k hazard allowance for only drs imagine are they exposed to hazard than the nurse that stays with this patient 24/7 or the lab scientists that deals with biohazards everyday? that they are asking for only drs if others ask theirs drs will go on strike .I think the drs shld know that other professions are growing and shld accept that fact that not the nurses you have in 1980 that is around now not med lab tech now but med lab science .each profession in health shld fight to progress and be the best in their profession and forget about fighting each other cos all of them must work together for patient to

Won the fight how? With what? Our teeth? You think we are NATIVE doctors? Who is 'we' sef? Tell me what we would have done that we didn't already do, strike or no strike?

Hahahahahaha, u hvnt met irony yet!

Support ke? Hahahahaha, who are you trying to deceive with sweetmouth? When have you ever supported doctors? When doctors were not paid their salaries for 9months where was your support? When they came out of this strike to care for bomb blast victims where was your support? Wasn't it doctors and nurses that treated Patrick sawyer and still treating those infected, WHERE IS YOUR SUPPORT? You only think about yourselves and what you can get!

Don't worry, let's wait for this presidential decision to take effect and see who it will affect the most.

I tink the doctors shld allow the oda heath officials become wht dey want to be and in response make residency easy for doctors and before u know it 2years in d training u are already a consultant and looking at becoming an associate.
Doctors are their own enemies.. Why would a doctor spend years in residency? Because the older ones failed to pass him! Outside the country, residency is never slavery as the older ones make it....

Don't worry, I'm not a fan of Fashola or his govt, I've had to work with them. Bunch of clowns I've been doing some research, basic hazmat suits cost about N7,200 without spare nitrile gloves. Please can we task our churches, our offices, everyone, to please donate so we can provide them? If you wait for government (state or FG), they won't arrive till who knows.

We can also raise some funds here through TeHN.

i can understand your situation. you know,waking up suddenly and finding yourself jobless its not easy ton comprehend.
i suggest u cover ur head in shame as u come out morrow or are u still in a govt sponsored update.if you are enjoy it,for it may be your last..just saying.

now, you've sounded civilised, and i will respond properly. Doctors provided highly essential services and so can never be jobless. Whether employed by govt or not, doctors can survive comfortably. Not to mention those who run high profile businesses outside the medical profession.
