Medical Laboratory Scientist In Ibadan Needs A Job / 3 Ways To Make Yourself Indispensable At Work / How To Become Practically Indispensable As A Teacher (2) (3) (4)

It's quite clear nowadays that all medical professionals work together for quick recovery of the patient. The unhealthy rivalry in the health sector is usually generated by some greedy folks, whether medical doctor or anybody. As a medical doctor, I have come to understand that there's no way the money they pay medical lab scientists will affect the money they pay the doctors. Why not come together let's chart a good course for our better tomorrow. We are fighting ourselves in the health sector while the lawmakers are there making money even when they are not more educated than us in the medical sector. THE PRACTICE OF MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE IS VERY MUCH INDISPENSABLE because WE PRACTISE EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE (EBM), THERE'S NO WAY YOU GUYS CAN BE PUSHED ASIDE. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. So let's accommodate one another no matter the profession, thanks. 8 Likes 1 Share |

@Jeflox, U have stated it as it ought to be among health professionals. The bickering is just too appalling! And I have seen cases where some professionals involved take it so personal. I just hope health professionals can see themselves as a team, needing each other for the good of the patient/client. 1 Like |

Jeflox: The best post I have seen on nairaland....my brother you gave the problem and proferred a solution. It has always been greed and the rest but I think this generation of Medical professionals can bring an end to that unhealthy rivalry.....It should be a TEAM not some scattered players. #Respect |

No doubt some doctors have superiority complex. Also no doubt a lot of allied medicals like MLS, nursing etc also have inferiority complex (not all though) You never talk about the Clinical Pathologists who are medical doctors who trained most first sets of medical laboratory scientists in Nigeria with the hope of producing scientists to help them in their Labs only for them to hijack their Labs from them. When it comes to laboratory studies in the USA and UK, what you hear about is Consultant Pathologists and not MLS. I think we need you here in Nigeria because of the shortages of doctors (pathologists) here but stop misleading the public about who you are not. Let people know that that there are Consultant Pathologists who are real medical doctors in charge of laboratory medicine but in short supply in Nigeria. Wish you the best guys.

basingstoke: Superiority isn't the word, in the Medical field no one is more superior to the doctor (based on the years of learning). But rather the word should be Territorialism as seen in our Modern Biology text (if you understand what I mean). If you want to do anything in your area you are free to do it but don't cut into another mans territory and expect him to fold his arm and smile (that's where the trouble begins). My brother the genesis to that trouble still long but thank God it has been ironed out so there is now peace. |

MLS masturbation thread ..wankers.... when you open a promotion thread while the public scroll through, laugh at your asses and book appointments to see the serious people The real players called pathologists don't have the time for this... everybody knows who you are, somethings not happening outside can't start in Nigeria. Try harder |

drsugar:those should never come up You never talk about the Clinical Pathologists who are medical doctors who trained most first sets of medical laboratory scientists in Nigeria with the hope of producing scientists to help them in their Labs only for them to hijack their Labs from them. The first set of Medical Lab scts were not trained by Nigerian clinical pathologists. Over time there has been developments here and there and the need to allow these set of people be. Career and professional development. Same development that enhanced medicine from apprenticeship (health attendants) to diploma to what it is today. When it comes to laboratory studies in the USA and UK, what you hear about is Consultant Pathologists and not MLS. Funny enough in the places you sited they have consultants who are in the field of MLS. Have you ever heard of FRCPATH (Most MLS become consultants through that in the UK) and ASCP (US) gives guidelines on how to become a consultant in the various aspects of MLS. The American Society for Clinical Pathologists who have in them pathologist and MLS has a very strong motto (Stronger together) in Nigeria both factions always on another neck for nothing. I think we need you here in Nigeria because of the shortages of doctors (pathologists) here but stop misleading the public about who you are not.The world knows who we are and what we do which is totally different from what the pathologist does (review the result, interpret for diagnostic purpose to either the referring doctor or the patient. In Nigeria they wanted to do everything which is now history now. Let people know that that there are Consultant Pathologists who are real medical doctors in charge of laboratory medicine but in short supply in Nigeria.Actually it's laboratory science WACP, NMPCN called it as a diploma but do you know in other climes MLS is referred to as Laboratory medicine? You can't do a diploma in a course and want to overthrow someone with a bachelors degree, Msc and PhD in it. Even in UK and US you sited, now the real owners have assumed their roles. Professional development from a bachelor awarding to a doctoral awarding degree have paved way in these countries (DCLS and MLSD degrees). Wish you the best guys. No bad blood.Thanks 4 Likes |

..they should be more of medical lab technologist than scientists. The Physician investigates and request a test of which any educated person with a test protocol can carry out and write out the results. They don't interpret, diagnose or conclude the findings of the patients state of health. They only put the values of the result, or +ve or -ve, where is the science? 2 Likes |

shruuh: And you have not seen the science? Well when you apply biological and chemical science to understand how the human body works (normal) and what can go wrong with it (pathology), what do you call it? Stop reeling out ignorance a MLS can interpret whatever result he generates but since its a team work the doctor who saw the patient will apply the result on his subject. Don't confuse MLT who attend Colleges of health technology to MLS (totally different) |

[quote author=worlexy post=50295523]The case scenario painted above is so dumb that MLS ought to cover their faces in shame if that's the work they do in the hospital, a doctor doesn't need the service of an MLS to differentiate Hypo from Hyperglycemia, they may only need the service of a machine (Glucometer) to ascertain the quantity of the sugar in the body, mind you a glucometer is a machine, a simple machine that almost all diabetic patients have and can operate in the comfort of their homes, whether educated or not, operation of the item doesn't require any expertise and if at all anybody wants to claim credit for the item it should be the producer (Engineers) and not the operators(MLS, Physicians, Patients and Patients relatives). A glucometer is just like the Blood Pressure apparatus that almost anybody can use, so if a physician is now saying that s/he is the only one that can measure blood pressure, then something is wrong. |

In other news....When MLS and Physician partner, the result is always wonderful. In America, they are stronger together....Not Nigeria where both are at loggerheads A team of physicians and laboratory scientists has taken a key step toward a cure for sickle cell disease, using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to fix the mutated gene responsible for the disease in stem cells from the blood of affected patients. |

INDISPENSIBLE?? Why do I get the impression this thread is more about money than truth? Is the goal here to create the impression that that Laboratory scientists can treat patients on their own? So they are can fleece the ignorant and unsuspecting? I hope the OP can correct the impression sha. But.... |

shoboy9: I'm not sure you understand the OPs post its neither a money nor a path to treating patients. It's more of an enlightenment than what you think. Patient treatment is an interplay of collective efforts (team) and not a one man riot. |
