Amarabae:

Ask them why many doctors are opening pharmacy in order to make some money

norahs:


Check salaries of nurses, pharmacist, physiotherapist, lab scientist in US and Canada. Yes an attending (consultant) and medical officer earns more but NEVER an intern or resident doctor. They all earn more than interns and regs. Use your internet and stop spreading falsehood.

danilmo:


amarabae, how far u now
I taught u are more clued before Jor.

and so., what if he is an accountant,
so u don't even have respect for other professionals aside health about,

now it's obvious u would have actually done worse to johesu if u av been a doctor..

see hatred .. chai..

beside wen are u leaving this country Biko, a friend of mine in one health tech just graduated as a nurse , Biko she's looking for who she can replace..

MrBigiman:
Shame on Johesu!

MrBigiman:


It's already that way dude. Moreover a nurse cannot be specialist in Oncology, she makes no single decision the specialist does. Even if she has spent 20years, a Senior registrar who has spent 3 yrs in oncology should earn more. A Doctor trumps every other person in the hospital, the hospital was built for him and patients troop in to see him. All other thrashy workers should do his bidding or resign. If they want to be doctors they should have passed Jamb. 90% of Lab scientist filled in Medicine at one time or the other for God sake, so also 98% of male BSC Nurses, the non graduate nurses went to nursing school because they were too dumb to pass Jamb, today they want to be on the same salary scale as Doctor. Pure stupidity!

emmanuelex1:
Please what do you mean by hospital support staff? CHAI NIGERIA IS FINISHED. YOU MEAN HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS. YOU MEAN A PHARMACIST, MEDICAL LAB SCIENTIST, DIETITIAN AND NURSES WENT TO THE SCHOOL TO SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL AND NOT CARE FOR PATIENT. INFACT YOU ARE MAD AND THERE IS NO POINT READING YOUR TRASH TO THE END. MY FAMILY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT DOCTORS DELIBERATE LIMITED THE PRACTICE OF OTHER PROFESSIONS SO AS TO LOOK SUPERIOR.

CSTR1003:

A whole pharmacist is a mere support staff?

Pharmacy used to be a prestigious course. Has that changed?

frankpro27:


That's the problem. U guys always think dat j knw it all Nd others ar dumb. Aside surgery, a hospital will run perfectly well without a doctor. Take that to the bank.

Habeeb020:

Matters arising from JOHESU demands
What the public must know

Can a judge function and carry out his duty without a registrar or the security man who protects the court? Does that entitle the security or registrar to request to be a judge. Can a police (IPO) stand in court and prosecute? Yes he can within the ambits of the law and where there us no state counsel, can he then seek to become a judge or a lawyer?. The Doctors negotiated COMESS for doctors the government in its wisdom used it to implement CONHESs for other healthcare workers albeit even narrowing the previous relativity. The Non medical health workers want relativity abrogated over night even though doctors grumbled at the gap narrowing but kept quiet. They want to also become CMDs setting aside a supreme court judgement which laid to rest the term "medically qualified" as enshrined in the teaching hospitals board reconstitution act.
Be informed.

Amarabae:
we Nurses love it like that.
Johesu is fighting fg, you malaria and typhoid specialists carry una busy body enter.
That cleaner you are seeing as nobody is somebody and deserves respect which you people are not taught about in the medical school.

dokiOloye:


Its not too late to go back to med sch.
After all,the 2 of my classmates who were close to my father's agemate were nurses.
They knew d difference and went back to med sch.

obstead200:
nonsense!!!
I no be doctor. Non of my family members are doctors. In fact some of them are johesu members. But I agree fully with the doctors on this. RELATIVITY IS SACROSANCT.

If u wanna be treated like a doctor, then just go and become a doctor!! Make we just stop all this ego and arm twisting. That is what is taking us backwards in this country.

Aa a chartered accountant and a masters degree holder with over a decade professional experience, I will find it very annoying if someone who has a mere B.sc accounting plus few years experience is placed on the same level and salary scale as myself in an office. The same situation applies here

amacastel:

Anesthetic nurse, Peri op nurse can perform surgery clean without a doctor, in fact we correct them most times in surgery

MrBigiman:


There is a cry for doctors shortage in UK, sweden, Germany, and UAE. Have ever wondered why there's no such cry for lab scientist and pharmacists. Do the maths, Doctors are the most important in the equation in the health sector and they'll always be in high demand the world over. Thats just how the life is, nothing will change it. If anyone hates it, then go back to school and study Medicine.

mysteryman2014:


Your always economical with t h e truth, qualified Nurses are not in demand abi?

Treat everyone with professional respect period.

danilmo:


because we want to siphon any place in the health sector..

see enjoyment na,
doctor open pharmacy shop still open a private clinic, Mhen. see money,

still get crazy with the amount my doc brother is making,

rack cash from his clinic from plenty surgery especially , rack cash from his pharmaceutical shop, rack cash from govt hospital, Choi.. .. can't wait to graduate abeg, moreover my brother didn't employ a pharmacist in his pharm shop, I still remember say na one intelligent guy he just tutor, now the boy self sabi drug crazy like those university trained pharmacist,
his nurses too aren't graduate, he train nurses well in his hospital too FYI and they deliver well..

HaneefahRN:



Such stup.idity in just a post. The dumbo is obvious

SuperS1Panther:
Govt should just close down all public hospitals.

The unnecessary rivalry between the different professionals in the health sector is unhealthy and insane.

amacastel:

bornolowu:
the fault with this is that a laboratory scientist cannot make a diagnosis (trust me there are serious conditions that require the expertise of a doctor to diagnose ) a lab scientist is not trained enough to make diagnosis ...same for a radiographer etc.. for example optometrist own stores everywhere where they claim to treat eye conditions, but unfortunately, they can only cut you glass for refractive errors . They direct the patient tto go meet the ophthalmologist . There is no need duplicating profession. As it is everwhere in the world, if you want to make diagnosis, lead a department o hospital, go to the university, study medicine and surgery as same goes everywhere in the world, nigeria will not be different.

ubergold:


Thanks for your civil response, says a lot about your profession. Back to the matter, every medical professional in a hospital feels they have a right to advance their career to the position of a medical director someday which is very debatable. However, this dichotomy has been there for a very long time and not just restricted to Nigeria alone. Medical doctors have always come out on top as far as this battle is concerned, can you tell me why?

Amarabae:

My comment indeed pepper you for body.

They went back to medical school because nursing was not their calling.
Nursing is a calling and I am over proud of my profession.
And I am rounding up my post graduate programs in it.
All these "go back to medical school".slur is boring.

I expect you to know that by now.
Okikpo
Go outside and compete with foreign doctors.
I heard some of you are taxi drivers in Canada.
Local champions

Your stupidity is legendary!
The problem is that you don't know other roles of the pharmacists in the hospital setting outside handing out dispensed drugs to patients.

Do you know that some drugs are prepared right there in the pharmacy department?? Do you know that you don't just hand out a drug to a patient, you counsel the patient and follow up his/her treatment by ensuring adherence to the prescription.
Do you know that pharmacists are supposed to go on rounds in the hospital to monitor in-patients on how they respond to drug therapy?? Afterwards, they communicate with the physicians on possible adjustments to be made??

Your ignorance is why many patients keep dying avoidable deaths in our hospitals due to drug misuse. How i wish pharmacists would begin to point out numerous prescription blunders physicians make in our hospitals to the public, may be then you would get to know their importance in the hospitals. But they would rather cover up your aszes.

bornolowu:
someone finishes the PHD from a university calls himself a doctor as he has finished his doctorate degree..the world has come to accept this terms but they are all borrowed words from medicine so also is the word consultant.
