Welldone Miss Nurse.
Most of ur course is all about cramming... Dont dispute that. Cramming is part of studying
O Thank u, Mr ? I wasn't arguing the cramming part, u saying it's no big deal was what struck me. Of course there are some things one has no option but to cram, like stuffs u have to write them verbatim without mistaking 'at' for 'in'. Although personally I don't like cramming, I read to understand then put in my own words.

No matter how this discussion turns out, nobody should tell that every course is equally tasking as the other.
That is like saying it takes the same effort to pass out from Hotel management as Geology.

Maybe that you have to spend equal sleepless night as a political science student as do Engineering students.
DON'T SAY SUCH STUFF AGAIN unless you have eliminated the heisinberg principal of uncertainty.

do you know why it is not easy?
because nothing is, really. all these courses are difficult. go ask an average engineer. they will also complain about their course. same with a doctor and a teacher and a musician. they all do complain about these things.

if all courses are then difficult, it follows that none are. since they all score the same.
i think the real problem is the mental exertion. the "work" the brain does in processing all of this. don't you think?
when you were four, long division seemed like the end of the world. how about now?
it's all about the perspective. maths is not hard. it is the ones that do it that are not up to the task . . . or something like that.

Lol! I ws teaching a young student math. some days ago n I said to her " we will use long division to solve this problem" n she said " uncle no! Let use short division"

Any course u study requires focus, determination & hardwork. But some of the courses listed above like medicine requires extra input, because many are admitted, very few eventually graduate. Any paramedical (pharmacy, dentistry, lab. science, etc) attacking medicine is purely born out of cheer envy & jealousy. Dental students only do elementary medicine & introduction to surgery, but have no knowledge of obstetrics, Gynaecology, paediatrics & child health, psychiatry, community medicine, family medicine, etc. Absolutely, majority of haters of Doctors are medical drop out & those frustrated by JAMB from studying medicine. Such always fight hard for their offsprings to be Doctors.

While I agree with you that dentistry is more difficult than medicine, cos I had enough of them around me while we were in school, and I knew their programme, I will state it categorically that they don't do all the courses those in medicine and Surgery do.
Medical courses which aren't part of the dental programme include:
*Paediatrics
*Obstetrics and Gynaecology
*Community Medicine
*Psychiatry
*Also they don't do the complete courses in Radiology, Ophthalmology and Orthopaedics.


Nigga, let me give u a detail courses a 400level dental students as done, may be u can now restructure ur inference about wish is tougher or harder:
Anatomy
Physiology
Biochemistry
medical psychology
Clinical psychology
Medical statistics
Morbid anatomy
Pharmacology
Medical microbiology and parasitology
Clinical pathology
Heamatology and blood transfusion
Burns and plastic surgery
Orthopedic and trauma
General surgery
Medicine
Radiodiagnostic/radiotherapy and radiology
Anesthetics
Community medicine
Minor classes in opthalmology, O and G,...

U see, this said 400level dental student doesn't know jack as far as dentistry is concern for his level, he actually hasn't started.

When medical students are talking medicine, u and I know dental students aint novice, they can actively engage them BIG TIME.

But when dental students are talking dentistry, my God! Medical students are stack illiterate.

For outside(non medical related) observers this might sound funny since many people think dentistry is just teeth, but that's the bitter truth...no wonder dentist are better paid

If am wrong, any medical student can quote me

Typical, anybody who speaks 'against' medicine must be jealous.I respect physicians but u guys really need to change that mentality. Anyway no one said medicine isn't tasking, cos it definitely is with all the bulky course load but so are many courses.
Pls can u differentiate the core health professionals from the paramedics? I only quoted u to tell u check again, pharmacy is not 'paramedical', and last I remembered, dentistry and dental surgery is a brother to medicine and surgery and are also Drs .Sorry, I guess u probably thought medicine is the only core health course.

The first statement I made was that Dentistry is more difficult than medicine, but then again, your post shows a bit of inexperience.

I schooled in uniben, so I understand how the dental programme is there. I read medicine by the way.
Dental students in uniben only do medicine and surgery in 500L. They are only taught a bit of both courses, not the whole details because their medical counterparts offer the same courses in parts of 400 till 600L. The coverage for medical students is much wider, based on topics taught.
Dental students have no business with O&G and they only do a bit of Radiology and Ophthalmology.
Also in uniben, they do Community dentistry, which is a far cry from the entire Community Health.

If however you school in OAU, then I may agree with you to some extent because OAU awards their Dental graduates Bachelor of Medicine; Bachelor of Dental Surgery. Other schools just award Bachelor of Dental Surgery.

It will be a delusion of the highest proportion to think that the core dental courses can be added to most of the medical courses, and you will be able to go through it in 6 years. It's only selected topics in core medicine and Surgery courses that dental students are taught.

To say that dentists are better paid anywhere in the world shows that you're inexperienced. The highest paid medical practitioners are usually Neurosurgeons and Anaesthetists. In private practice in Nigeria, Dentists are very poorly paid. Ask your senior colleagues in school.

Why didn't u say dentist are poorly paid in government practice, u and I both know medical doctors are over use and severely underpaid in private practices, that bad that some medics run 3 jobs-night inclusive to meet up with daily bread...the exception u made cut acrosses all levels of employment as far as private practice is concerned.

Nigga, u quite agree that dentistry is way tedious than medicine but u became sarcastic along the line listing the courses medical students do that dental student don't offer. And that I beg to differ.

Do u actually mean when u discuss OandG, ophthalmology and your community health, a dental student will keep mute?

But u sure know more than I do how numb u'll be when the dental guys talk

And tell me you did all about radiology, ophthalmology and OandG. Because as far as I can remember, I believe there are residency programmes for these courses. LMAO

Dentistry has been in the number 1 spot of THE 100 best jobs in the world since 2013...i think you guys should leave the comparison issue...Dentistry and Medicine need no comparison as they both work hand in hand...that's why both Medical surgeons and Dental Surgeons must always be on ground in the A&E ward...#case closed!

I DIDN'T MENTION GOVERNMENT SETTING BECAUSE MEDICAL DOCTORS AND DENTISTS ARE ON THE SAME SALARY SCALE. THEY ARE BOTH UNDER MDCN AND NMA.

DENTISTRY IS MORE TEDIOUS, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT YOU'RE TAKING IT. I HAD DENTAL FRIENDS IN SCHOOL. THEY UNDERWENT MORE STRESS, BUT THEY WERE NOT REALLY MORE INTELLIGENT. MOST OF OUR COLLEAGUES THAT MADE DISTINCTIONS IN 2ND MBBS/BDS PART 1 WERE IN MEDICINE.



Do u actually mean when u discuss OandG, ophthalmology and your community health, a dental student will keep mute?

THEY WON'T KEEP MUTE OBVIOUSLY, BUT THEY KNOW JUST VERY LITTLE IN THEM, JUST LIKE MEDICAL STUDENTS WON'T KEEP MUTE WHEN DENTALS DISCUSS ORAL BIOLOGY OR DENTALS SURGERY. HOWEVER, DENTAL COURSES LIKE OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES AND PROSTHETIC TECHNIQUES DEFINITELY SOUND STRANGE TO MEDICAL STUDENTS.


But u sure know more than I do how numb u'll be when the dental guys talk

LIKE I SAID ABOVE, IT DEPENDS ON THE DENTAL COURSE BEING DISCUSSED.



And tell me you did all about radiology, ophthalmology and OandG. Because as far as I can remember, I believe there are residency programmes for these courses. LMAO

WELL, I WAS MERELY REFERRING TO THE BACHELORS DEGREE COURSE OUTLINE OF THOSE COURSES. I DO HOPE YOU KNOW THAT NURSING STUDENTS DO A BIT OF PATHOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY, BUT CAN YOU COMPARE IT TO THOSEE BEING OFFERED BY MEDICAL AND DENTAL STUDENTS? IT'S ALSO LIKE COMPARING ANATOMY DONE BY PHARMACY STUDENTS TO THE SAME COURSE DONE BY MEDICAL STUDENTS.
