RobinRay:
they have unattractive handwritings

Dripy:
Medicine is attractive in Nigeria but the problem is lack of medical infrastructure. Even the government of the day is doing little or nothing to address the rot and decay in the health sector.
Government pays better than private hospitals but some private hospitals have better equipment which in turn makes their services more exorbitant.
Government run health facilities are understaffed and their is no effort towards maintenance of existing facilities. Old ones are not replaced and new ones are not brought in. How many dialysis machines do we have in government run health facilities in Nigeria? Even drugs and stuffs as little as handgloves are lacking in government hospitals. These things reduce the efficiency of doctors and they would rather practice in a place where all needed facilities are put in place for optimal and maximum performance.
Till we get things right, we will always have brain drain of doctors in Nigeria. This is why we have many health issues in Nigeria because the ratio of doctors to patients leaves much to be desired.
I went to a government run health facility to run some tests two weeks back: only one person was on duty; collecting money, issuing receipts, taking the sample, running the test and writing the results: tell me why errors will not be high!

My mother is a medical Dr but she said they where train not to make the writing visible for all expect those in that line.....reason is for self medication by some patient who might apply same drug for other sickness

hUmaneOne:


Haha.. Cmon your mum didn't say that..
Doctors are trained from year 2, to take much notes and to write very fast hence the writings.its not deliberate.

Some have good writings by the way

Unattractive ? Pay wise

Well compared to other Fg jobs I think their pay is not bad. A doctor on horsemanship in a teaching hospital usually little boys/girls 23/24yrs earn b/w 185 to 200k Monthly so dts doctors minimum pay so hw is dt unattractive. A fresh lecturer 2 with PhD teaching history or whatever in Fed uni earn far less at abt 130k. Not many Fg entry level jobs can pay up to 185k

With all the many years spent in school coupled with the incessant strikes.

I love my engineering oooo. well paid as a starter.


Thanks to God almighty.

23 ke? The mean age at grad for med students in most Nigerian public universities is 25 and that's for those lucky not to have interrupted semesters from strikes and all. While other disciplines are affected by just a few types of industrial strikes, med students may be affected by three or more in addition to ASUU, NASU or SSANU namely: SSATHURAI (Teaching hospitals health workers), MAWHUN (allied health workers), NANNM (Nurses), NARD, MDCAN.

Sorry....it seems you don't know what you are saying? Maybe you go to the teaching hospitals and see for yourself. I am in medicine and Surgery in University of Ibadan.
Get to UCH
And start your clinical posting in Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacology, Pediatric, O&G,Orthopedic, Community health, Mental health, morbid anatomy, hematology, chemical pathology and Micro/parasitology. You will understand the beauty of Medicine. Don't be outside and condemn what you dont know at all.


Medicine is the only course in Nigeria that have developed in the last decade. Pls mind what you post on Nairaland before you become an object of ridicule.


I wish you good luck in getting your medicine in Nigeria or abroad.


And you know how it is to get a slot in Top federal universities without knowing anyone.

And person can be withdrawn if the person fails MBcB/MBBS in limited times.

Say No To Ignorantic Post On Nairaland
