Pathologists are underated world over. Not as glamorous as other specialities; they work behind the scenes. The problem with MLS will blow over, as soon as MDCN performs its regulatory duties effectively. Pathologists are trained to run and head medical labs world over; why shld Nig be an exception.
Follow your passion and dreams. Specialists are few, more so pathologists. Work dey plenty.
The guy who discovered Ebola is a pathologist; i think he was even a resident then. Google him; also Royal college of Pathologists.

Yeah..Thanks...But I really do think d public should know this..Most of the diagnosis done in hospitals are carried out by pathologists..Yet no one even knows they are existing..Sometimes they are tagged as lazy doctors that run away from d hospitals to drag positions with d lab scientists..Most people don't know that "NO PATHOLOGY MEANS NO MEDICINE".I will surely pursue my passion to become a pathologist and by God's grace I'll be a pathologist one day,..Once again, thanks bro for d inspiration..

Hello medics!
Is it true that a medical graduate from a state university find it difficult to get a job and placement for housemanship, especially in the federal level. I don't believe that though, but I still need to find out.

With your HND it's not possible for you to enter a med school for either MBBS/BDS through D.E. I think the least requirement is either A-levels or a B.Sc( 2:1 above) in a biological related course. I don't know about Radiography though but if you want any of those two, you'd have to write UTME again. By the way, I don't think age is a barrier if that's what you really want.

A resting male patient, age 54 years, body weights 76 kg, is suspected of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and
examined in the morning after fasting overnight. The throat is sprayed with lignocaine and a gastroscope is
introduced into the pharynx under direct vision and passed down the oesophagus into the stomach and
duodenum. No ulcers, tumours or bleeding is found. A biopsy of the mucosa shows an overgrowth of
parietal cells. A sample of gastric juice is aspirated. Following stimulation by an injection of pentagastrin,
gastric juice is aspirated via a nasogastric tube for one hour. The hydrogen ion concentration in the
aspirate is 150 mM, and the volume is 350 ml.
Due to lung complications the blood gasses of the patient are measured in the morning (P aCO2 40 mmHg,
pHa 7.40 , Base Excess zero, actual [bicarbonate] 24 mM) and just after completion of the aspiration
(P aCO2 40 mmHg, pHa 7.48, Base Excess 7 mM, actual
[Bicarbonate] 30 mM). The next morning blood gases were normalised.
1. Calculate the gastric acid secretion rate of the patient, and compare the result with a normal value of 30
mmol per hour.
2. Describe the acid-base status of the patient just following the aspiration.
3. Explain the normalisation of the acid-base status the following morning.
4. Suggest a better diagnostic tool for the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
