Well i think the problem with Nigerian doctors is that they expect so much from the society as if everything in the society revolve around them. They forget that there are other important professionals who do their jobs for the passion without expecting anybody to lick their boots. Much as i'd loved love the government to live up to their responsibility of maintaining set standards of practice of all professions, i think people should stop expecting to be worshipped by others for doing their jobs for which they are paid. Let's learn to choose our professions for the passion, provided it is one that will keep us busy, and not expect to be treated like celebrities except when we have achieved exceptional feats in our professions. Celebrities are specially talented people who are celebrated for using their talents to impact virtually the whole world and not just afew people in a clinic. Never mind that the word celebrity is abused here in Nigeria. So, my doc friends, let's be real! 2 Likes |

Basic123: So what was it? You are just a pained broke doctor. The only seemingly relevant thing in your life is the 'doctor' attached to your name, which is not relevant in true sense. The society has moved beyond that. Professionas are now respected by their efficient practice not by certificate. Distinguish yourself in the medical field and you won't have a reason to rant about being disrespected. 4 Likes |

I respect doctors but Engineers will always earn more than you guys any time anyday. Moreover, go for what you have passion for not just the money. 1 Like |

OP is obviously confused. Proofs? The non-paragraphed write-up is one, and then if you could be bothered enough to read the drivel, the writer regrets being a medical doctor but concludes that the profession is still very relevant. Meanwhile, the writer's main cause of regret is that he's not getting the superstar treatment and earnings that the likes of that knobhead called gifty may get. Man, get a life. Can't eat your cake and have it. |

Gaddafithe2nd:You engineers work in multinationals or float your own company.However very few of you always have the opportunity in nigeria.That is the aspect in which Nigeria insanity has affected your own job.You are earning big salary but how many of you?...the article is talking about how it has affected medical profession. |

Op, kudos to you. The last sentence summarized the whole piece. If you are going into Medicine in order to make money, please STOP, don't go waste your precious time doing that, you will be frustrated at the end. Medicine is a Noble profession and only those who have the passion to serve enjoy it. Cheers 1 Like |

Basic123:Even before Nigeria economy went south, engineers earn more than doctors. I could remember my lecturer then, telling us (students) how her first son a medical doctor was complaining that his younger brother salary, a computer engineer would pay his own salary for 3months. How many of you doctors are earning fine, that is why most of you are eager to have your own clinics/hospitals. I don't even allow new generation doctors to treat me because most of you aren't doing the job with passion. |

Gaddafithe2nd:....firstly,i'm not a doc. 2ndly,forget about passion this or that.we were all sent to school to study,become a professional and making money.If you have a son that study medicine,Will you tell him that,look,this your job is for passion.to show how passionate are you just set up a private clinic and be treating people for free?...And when your work is not corresponding to your work then you complain.Teachers too can do.it is only when doctors are complaining that they will be shouting passion.Also,they have passion for it that is why they go for it.majority of doctors can study engineering with ease. 3rdly,Nigeria has never been a sane country.Go and listen to fela anti-government songs of the 70s. |

divinelove: Me don't even see the lab man or pharmacist. I just modify my diet and take enough bedrest. Can't really remember when last I took a drug. But you see, you can't really do without a doctor because the earlier a client present with a problem the greater the likelihood of curability. Later presentation myt leave management and making the clients life more bearable as the only option, because eventually a client must present. I mean doctors don't give life. They only preserve the one you have. And you have only one life. BEWARE OF SELFMEDICATION Says pmb. He is wiser now. |
