FlirtyKaren:
An aggrieved Nigerian Doctor, who is fed up with the way the Nigerian medical system is ran, has exposed the rot in the system. According to @rolayomide, one day, Nigerians will walk into hospitals and there will be no doctors, if we don't fix the menace soon.


The doctor went on to disclose the stress of getting into medical school, the stress of joining the system which is ran by old men, who won't give young men a chance, unless the person in question is privileged.


Here are his tweets;


http://www.lailasblog.com/2017/03/aggrieved-nigerian-doctor-exposes-rot.html Every sector in this country is rotten, and the solution is not some blind recycling of old men...this land needs a revolution.......the anger of the masses must be missed with blood.

Yet some miserable half-wits are screaming "One Nigeria". Thunder fire one Nigeria there. A country her minister of Science and Technology announced merrily with a lot of fun fair that she'll start producing pencils by 2020.

Divide this useless union let Biafrans go their separate ways, work hard and achieve their full potential. Those who love Nigeria can stay back and start produce erasers and crayons by 2050.

I spit on Mr. Lugard and his apron-wearing girlfriend.

Temidayo9:
Most of Doctors work re bn done by God in churches.

Ishilove:

This is highly unusual of you.

Back to the topic. Nigeria is royally fvcked. Fvcked anally without grease. Fvcked in every aspect. Fvcked without a ray of hope. Fvcked because we are a country filled with wicked and satanic people who don't want good for their fellow men.

Jozprecious:
ah ah madam. it can never be this bad. a doctor Google or check textbook before you? abeg talk another thing jor

armadeo:



Supra means that the doctor agrees to work for no pay. In some cases he has to pay the institutions before he starts work and it might be up to half a million a year.

Which main jobs do the nurses do? Nigerian nurses are the most unprofessional I have ever seen;very lazy and temperamental
You pay for Nursing Care in hospitals but the nurses will still tell you to cater for your patients.Nurses run shift duties but doctors work like donkeys. To be honest, Nigerian doctors are being overused.They go for weekend calls and still resume work immediately on Monday; no bathing, no brushing.Never can Nigerian doctors be compared to the Nurses, an eagle really looks like a chicken but they are never the same.The day Nigerian hospitals are privatised, that would be the day Nigerian nurses will know their levels.Nurses want to be paid like them but don't want to work the way they work.When Nurses go on strike, the hospitals still function because they can actually do your works.But when they go on strike,can you dare treating the patients? Please these people might be seen as getting money, they suffer more than they earn and never compare them to yourselves again.
Mind you, I am not a doctor but actually have a number of them around me.
Peace be upon us all.

This is not exactly news, it's been on for a very long time.
Every 20-30yrs, there's usually an exodus of skilled Medical workers out of Nigeria.

It was once Saudi Arabia, and Nigerian doctors made so much money then. They came back and bought houses in Ikeja GRA, ikoyi and many other investments.

This time, it's the worst exodus that has ever happened. Like someone else said, one day people will go to hospitals and won't find doctors anymore.

Last November, 150 Nigerian doctors wrote the UK medical licencing exam (PLAB), this march, there were 400. By November, there will be at least a thousand. Meanwhile, we churn out just about a thousand doctors from our medical schools yearly so you might argue that the impact won't be felt but hey... The good guys have left.
These figures exclude those who've
So there's a list of countries Nigerian doctors are going to.. UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Qatar, Germany, Saudi Arabia, UAE.
Basically, anywhere outside this country is just fine.

I don't think there's an immediate solution as the government can't afford to pay the kind of money the doctors get paid outside here.

Besides finaincial gratification, there's a better Career progression, better opportunities for research, and a generally better quality of life. You can have brain space to do more productive thinking other than buying fuel for generator and difficulty in doing business.

As we speak, it is easier for a Nigerian doctor to get residency placement in the UK and USA than in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, there's nothing like Merit in the recruitment process.

Way forward, there's need to reform some sectors in Nigeria. Even if everything collapses, Education and health shouldn't crash.

God bless Nigeria

Do you have problems with reading and understanding? Read my post again, this time with your eyes wide open!!!

Billyonaire:
There are no jobs. There were never jobs. The entire system was designed to scam the masses while others share the natural resources. How do you produce doctors every day, are you planning for citizens to get sick and die ? Why dont you just tell the citizens how not to get sick instead of producing doctors and end up having no place to fix them.

This is a lesson for all of you out there who believe in Job Security. That word has been deleted from the dictionary. Do something before something do you. The system is totally in a mess. The present leadership of the country does not know where to start and where to end, they dont even know what they are doing even if you give them all the money in the world. They have no idea at all. So man your oars, its about to get stormy.

I am asking Buhari to take his salary 100% for the next 6 years, but I am begging him to return to Daura with 6 yrs salary, no cheating, but let someone with functional brain hemisphere use turnkey economic module to revamp the dilapidated system, I am pretty much sad cos our present leadership have not read a book on Macro Economy.

If Doctors are crying and committing suicide, I still wonder if the mental disorder cases among the poor has not reached 100%.

buffalowings:


are you pretending you don't know how things work at owo

forms are always on sale if you know who to meet
I remember when I wanted to apply there I was told there were no forms
but two of my friends got their hands on the application forms and we're accepted

ekems2017:
I support you in this one. Some of them are so annoying. (apology to the good ones) They don't even know what they are doing. They bribe their way through. Imagine you complaining of stomach pains and a doctor is either googling or checking the text book in front of him or her to know the drugs to prescribe. I support the older doctors. Pls continue to hold on for us till 70yrs for this one. The rot in this younger doctors is too much.

This is the highest level of ignorance.
What stops you from finding out why the doctor is using the phone in front of you.
In the countries that you all look up to (USA/UK) doctor are allowed to open BNF and other books to ensure the safety of the medication they are prescribing to patient.
The same is what is done by the doctor you encountered, No doctor needs Google or a book to know the name of the drugs to give you nor does he need it to take a detailed history from you.
He needs it for things like accurate dosage based on your weight, he needs it to ensure there is no harmful interactions between the drugs that he's given to you, or possibly find you and alternative if you have a condition that precludes you from using a particular drug.

So if you are not sure of something, ask... Don't just assume.
If a doctor is making use of a phone in front of you.... Ask him why he's touching his phone (IT'S RUDE FOR A DOCTOR TO FIDDLE WITH HIS PHONE WHILE CONSULTING UNLESS WHAT HE'S DOING IS FOR YOU OWN GOOD)

PLEASE ASK..... DON'T ASSUME.

JustinSlayer69:
Pointless complaints. Everybody in virtually ALL the sectors are "suffering" except politicians.

Drs are still one of the most highly paid for their skills and long years in medical school. They are lucky their skills are easily transferable abroad.

People just love to complain. Compare the minimum wage of a civil servant and that of a Dr.

Minimum wage in USA is like $1,160 =N 464,000 vs N18,000 in Nigeria.... we are ALL suffering!

InvertedHammer:


LOL.

Rent on a studio apartment is about $800/month == N320,000 == N3.84m/yr in obscure part of USA.

Rent on a self-contained is N300,000/year in a good part of Nigeria.

Keep comparing...
