Actually I am a biochemist ( a 200L student) and I love chemistry and bio as much as I love drinking garri. But this qus has always caused some unsettled doubt. Who is more important b/w a biochemist and a medical doctor. I once heard a guy say that the only difference b/w a biochemist and a medical doctor is that a biochemist can't operate on a patient. Let me hear ur view guys.

Nowadays, it seems virtually everybody wants to be more important than a doctor..No offense intended..Jux an observation..

Lols. this question gidi gan oh. A doctor Will always be important than a biochemist. but a doctor can't be without biochemistry, the heartbeat of medicine.

Hmm..Is it only biochem? What abt anatomy and physiology?

A doctor will always feel he knows it all, so there is no hope for a biochemist in the medical field...

Jealousy. Well I blame it on jamb and your respective schools for pushing you to a course you never applied for.

a biochemist can tell u what happens in a patient body when he has headache. a biochemist can prescribe what to use. physiology can be called a branch of medicine.

A biochemist and a medical doctor ke?

The problem is that most people commenting are not even in d field of medical science so they have little or no idea of what biochemistry is all about. I just finished my 100 L but I can tell u that I know far more than most 300 L level medical students.

Why must u exaggerate?

why should I?

Dat writeup of urs above is an overstatement...

it's not.

ValentineMary:
it's not.

Tell that to any of ur course mate "face to face" and see what he/she will tell u. But if u think u're not wrong, then no problem.

It will be better if we improve upon what we have rather than trying to form what we are not.

I'm a biochemisty student doing my 200l 2nd semesta bt for u to say u know more than MOST 300 l MEDICAL STUDENTS is a lie...... biochemistry is not more important than medicine, bt without biochemistry there is no medicine....

u can lie, eh!

ENVY everywhere....
DONT FOCUS and graduate with lovely grades...
U leave your pain to cure some1 else's headache...

Just pick FORMS and start all over...

BIOCHEMISTRY is just an eyedrop in medicine ..
YOUR department talks about Amino acids, fatty acids and glycogens...as well as handerson-hasselbach equations...
STOP D ENVY MY DEAR...so dat u won't die young...
D DOORS ARE STILL OPENED TO STUDY MEDICINE, so dat u can observe the difference...[sub][/sub]

lol.

Thanks Thewhizzkid, :-) i can't abandon nairaland . OP i understand you're trying to console urself but comparing biochem to medicine is the wrong road to follow.

now I see how ignorant u are of the course

how would you compare medicine and biochemistry. Biochemistry is just a branch of medicine

biochemistry ke?

When it comes to medical pratice you can't do anything without MBBS unless you are a nurse, dentist or laboratory scientist, so stop being jealous.

...ur question is as foolish as u r. Imaging comparing 7yrs to 4yrs...big fool

The only reason I opened this thread was because I thought the op might have some interesting points. I was wrong. Dude, I'm studying Biochemistry too, but this thread is just a farce.
