Good day everyone

am a student of medical laboratory science, currently in 200L and I want to as this, in MlS we have sub specialties

but I have checked my handbook and I find out that doctors are usually the head of departments of the specialties in my sch teaching hospital





is dis not disparity?


and please can medical laboratory scientists be consultants in a hospital?

omigiekiel:

Oogway:


A physician scientists is a medical doctor (MBBS) who after graduating from medical school specialises as a pathologist( a doctor) in laboratory medicine. A branch of medicine and surgery. He intepretes test results and interacts with others doctors for progressive management plan. While the Medical laboratory scientists or technician( in some cases) are Bsc holders in Medical laboratory science (B.mls) who carry out test results on the orders of a doctor. They both work together for the betterment of the patients.

There's no where in the world a MLS is referred to as a technician (they are 2 different categories and they (MLT) do not possess a Bachelors degree in Medical laboratory science). A technician is a diploma holder from school of health technology.
No doctor can ORDER a MLS on a test to be done rather it's REQUESTED.

A doctor can order fellow doctors but but when a laboratory investigation is involved, he requests their services hence a REQUEST form for that analysis is filled not an ORDER form (Use of English)

Oogway:



Be guided in your statements, "ORDER" is a synonym for "REQUEST." MLS was only but recently made into a full blown degree. The techician post was hasty generalization and I'm sorry for that.

nelszx:


Whether it is a synonym or not both are different based on context (noun or verb). No doctor I repeat no doctor can order a MLS into doing what is good for the betterment of the patient. A doctor can order a fellow doctor but when the services of another professional is needed he requests for it cos he so desires of it.

Yes MLS only few years back blown into a degree just like every other course has its humble beginning as Medicine started as health attendant and now MBBS degree so it will only take a little time we'll get there.

Everyone is guilty of hasty generalisation so no qualms.

1stly, There's no big deal weda order or request. A doctor orders a test to be done, or he request a test result.
2ndly Medicine has always been medicine from the ancient times, they were only 3 learned professions; The Physician, The Scribe(Lawyer), The priest. Everyother profession was referred to as Phylosophy and grew from there. Please make good to check that up: the origin of the title Doctor (both Academic and medical). Medical laboratory science grew from medicine, in the past doctors carried out laboratory investigations themselves, but due to the fact that it was too stressful having to carry out a laboratory test, and inteprete it and come to a diagnosis and therapy. The brought in some groups of semi illiterates (what today we now have as MLS) to help them out with running of the test which they saw as having need less skill and was less noble for doctors to do. Hence the word ORDER for a test as the were working under doctors, but in the modern day Healthcare were there's harmony and to promote unity the word ORDER is becoming obsolete, and REQUEST is being preferred. Although some countries still uses that term. #Back to my story.
Over the years, This semi illetrates started acquring more and more training and went on more research and started gaining independence from the doctors who taught them this craft and inorder to meet with the ever unending modernization of healthcare care and advance medical practice. MLS was upgraded into a diploma and later a Degree as it is now and some countries Doctorate Degree. Or what we call MLS.D or D.MLS.

Soon you will find out just WATCH THIS SPACE ..... In no distant time it will be CRYSTAL CLEAR

Things evolve dude, like @Oogway said it's (MLS) going through a stage of metamorphosis worldwide (Apprenticeship > Diploma > Bachelors degree > Doctorate degree (MLS.D, D.MLS, DCLS) > ).

Very soon and I mean very soon you will find out. God spare our lives

danilmo:

young man ..u look like someone despirate to have a sit level with an MBBS holder.u wan become doctor ..all this hope fit b next decade if not century..better go and collect jamb for and feel mbbs and graduate in the next 6yrs.. sit down there and be giving yaself hope..

nelszx:


You sound like a cry baby.....Do you sense any desperation in the way I sounded? BTW I'm not interested in a sit level with MBBS holders neither do I choose to want to be a "MEDICAL" doctor; they have found their niche and I have found mine. You can keep your jamb form for your kids and possibly siblings (if you have any) I'm not interested. I just gave you a clue of what to expect and you are feeling threatened already. I'm talking about MLS you are talking about MBBS like you saw MBBS on my post

FYI I'm not giving myself hope cos it's already happening, only a matter of days, weeks, months or year(s) it will start in Nigeria so be calm and WATCH THE SPACE.

Before you add another meaning to my post, I'm not talking down on doctors I have many who are my friends (Great people). My take home point is JUST WATCH THIS SPACE
