eaglechild:




Your mentality is sickening.

Dreambeat: Fashola did not win anything. Don't let me go into the details of what happened. We have to fight this battle now once and for all for the good of the populace and the progress of the health sector in this country. A lot of people are just so uninformed about what is going on in our government hospitals, those that are, choose to take side against doctors out of sentiment. Things can not just continue the way they are right now. The hospitals are in a big mess. I know how many times I have had to walk and sometimes run to the theatre to BEG for disposable gloves to work with. Lots of things are just not right in our training centres especially.

bushdoc9919:

Let me explain further.

A Senior registrar in surgery,for instance, can perform very advanced types of surgery. For example....as a medical student I worked under a Senior registrar who was doing delicate surgery for congenital intestine problems(the gent is now a consultant surgeon). Let's say I was to replace him. Now I know some surgical skills....but I hardly have the knowledge base to do such type of surgery. (And anyways....I want to become an internist! ).

A senior registrar knows a lot more than a junior registrar , or even a medical officer/senior house officer,...or house officer (that's the pecking order amongst us docs.). Asking a medical officer to replace a senior reg is the same as asking a primary one school teacher to teach Advanced Calculus 502 to a group of postgraduate Maths students at university.

obviously this is coming from someone who knows nothing about specialties and areas of specialisation in the field of medicine.

Dreambeat: Reminds me of a lady who called me sometime back at about 3am while I was sleeping complaining of abdominal pain and severe diarrhea. Funniest thing was that she was even residing in a far away state from where I was. I had to start prescribing drugs at that hour of the night FOC.Only God knows where she got the medication that night. She might even be one of these NLs castigating doctors here

prettyprettywow: but they said that ALL the 24 DEMANDS must be met, which include the ones involving other health workers.

Sunshinelady: . Even wit all dese long epistle, u pple can't treat ebola (or at least maintain it like ur counterparts abroad), mortality rate in hospitals especially durin childbirth keep increasin (dats y most rich ppl travel out for their child delivery), even common organ transplant dats rampart in other countries una no sabi, so wats d use of all dese ..bla bla..u did 5yrs here, 20yrs here ..etc. We need practical thins, we need to see d effect of dis u pple's 'superiority complex', we r not seein it. I don't knw ..I don't want to beliv dis is like..empty vessels makin too much noise..I don't. But somtimes too much words aint necessary, d best way to xpress self worth, is by being practically effective, u pple are so lettin us down

prettyprettywow: After residency training, don't drs go out to search for jobs? Are they permanent emploees in the THs they are being trained? Why do we have specialist Drs in private hospitals who throw parties for getting Govt jobs? were they absorbed in the hospital they did their residencies? If you think i don't know what I'm sayinf, maybe you can explainl

saints2: Let the battle begin
#Lights
#Camera
#Action

When two elephants fight, the grasses suffer.

prettyprettywow: call Drs on phone, and they diagnose your ailment and prescribe via phone without physical examination and lab investigations?. Lol. I weep for una. Drs are indeed 'small gods'. What the Drs are now fighting for is their jobs and not the 24 commandments again. This life get as E be sha. NMA called for the outsourcing of other health care professionals aside Drs, now whose services have been outsourced? What goes around comes around. When hunger go don wire una for 1-2 months, una go hear am.

Govt please recall them. We need them o. we don know who be the master

It seems that you're ignorant of what is happing in the health sector. Its the poor masses that will suffer. Doctors will emerge from this stronger than ever. All they needed is patience and unity. The poor masses will bear the brunt. Let me share this with forum. It happened last week. My neighbour who works in the medical record department boasted one day that she knew everything in medicine and her knowledge surpassed mine as a doctor. Last week she fall ill probably malaria, she came to me begging for free prescription as usual. I advised her to go to private hospital, she ignored me. A day later, she came shivering and vomiting, I also advised her to go hospital. She went and was admitted for 24 hours. She paid 20,000 naira and since then she has stopped making silly comments about doctors. She learnt a big lesson she will never forget.

MT: Its so interesting how doctors are coming up with detailed analysis of what residency is all about. Thank you for that , not that we never knew before. But get this straight, medical sector is about to be strategically repositioned and FG has all the aces.. Surely resdency will be reinstated but on a very new term that will remove all the existing excesses. Its going to be a take-it or leave-it kind of a thing. Doctors can't be holding the nation and other professionals to ransom. This corrective action by Jonathan is welcome.

Malawian:
who told you you are fighting for the populace? who beg you? ode.

Adiwana: people really think being intelligent is sweeping As&Bs..well thats not that..am not in the medical line,buh my mum who's a nurse prescribes drugs via phone so don't tell me that..so wat u telling me that is if u have running stomach,dat ur family doc cant prescribe drugs for u via telephone...na wa oo!!

odeotito: Considering the fact that residency was put in place by an Act of the national assembly it can't be abolished by executive fiat. Methinks the executive order is null and void cause it s ultra vires its powers! Get a lawyer fast!

laplace12:
There are more than 16000 unemployed doctors waiting to take that job

maestroferddi: You make me laugh. So for just obliging your patient with an off-hand prescription you are gloating over the whole thing?

It is still you guys that would begin to whine when patients patronise roadside chemists...

I was following thinking you bought the drugs FOC for the patient. I tire...

Must everything turn to gold for we Nigerians?

Make una remember...daris God o!!!

Malawian:
you are the one that does not get it. you doctors will not be the one charging patients for medical care, you just stay at your duty post and when the month is up, you go with your long throat and collect your salary.
if you throw tartums and not genuflect when receiving your sarary, you will see the door.

TRADELYN: WE urge the FG to use better means in resolving this issue, rather than applying force. This is just another empty/baseless threat.

Both parties must shift grounds and the FG should start first in the interest of the masses.

....................

ModoetForma: It only shows how frail jonathan government is to the extent of the citizens of the country he rules daring him. This is serious and I wonder what the NMA is feeling like and who they think they are. There are thousands of nigerians out there seeking medical attention but to no avail all thanks to the foolishne ss and selfishness of these so called doctors striking in the name of wanting consultants to be given to them only and not pharmacist and nurses, striking in the name of needing a chief surgeon general of the federal republic of nigeria. Who the hell needs a chief surgeon general, that's ceremonial. I'm in full support of jonathan,if I we're president, I'll sack these people, seize their license and execute the chief orchestrators one by one.

AODT:

If the other countries they run to for health matters treat their doctors the way we do or even encouraging FG, I wonder where would have been left to go for medical attention.
Unfortunately no government official or any other their relative recieves medical attention in this Country
