aww doc ,guess you want me to expantiate what i mean by mls being the bedrock of modern medicine.
By bedrock i mean medical laboratory science is the solid rock,foundation of 21st century medicine,in global medical pratice lately evidence base medical pratice is ideal.a hospital cant function without the laboratory where diagnosis are made while sometimes we make prognosis and maybe advice the doctor on effective antibiotics and dosage to use for overall treatment,we can also assay the conc of drug in biological fluid to ascertain efficacy of drug or cases of overdosage.a doc treating a patient witout lab diagnosis is doing so out of biasness cos many health problems have same or similar symptoms n sign,i dnt think a doc can prescribe treatment plan by just analysing the patient base on clinical signs n symptoms,vital statistic or experience without consulting the lab,with this few point i think its enough to convince you that med lab science is the bedrock of modern medicine,meanwhile am nt demeaning great doctors regardless of whatever organogram they are stil the head in overall patient care.

You see, this is the problem with this country.....

If there were many job opportunities, research labs, etc, why would a microbiology graduate work in a bank

Nowadays, the typical nigerian mentality is MONEY DRIVEN, no money, no hope, so guyz want to get rich quick, even kill themselves cos of money...

I am not saying money is bad, but too much of it is even worse, if a doc is going for the course because of money, he will never be fulfilled...

Well, both mls and physio have good future prospects, oney, comfort and all, just tell your cuz to choose the one that'll suit her well.....

@ayodeji752, both courses are great but if I were to be in her shoes, i'll go for physiotherapy! Dt's wot I wld do....nd yes, you av a good point. GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

You have made your point. These days, every field claim to be the solid foundation of modern medicine. The medical laboratory is a necessary necessity in management of patients. My problem with Nigerian medical labs is their supposed indifference to new methodologies and criteria in helping the physicians in the quest for a more rational diagnosis at a lesser cost for the patient.
Also, another issue worthy of note is the "traditional" approach of medical lab science practise in Nigeria to career developments of the practising scientists. I have a classmate who left mls practise to study medicine because it was made evident to her that no matter the number of added qualifications she might possess later on in her career, the "traditional" way of doing things will still hold.
I still believe in the future of the Nigerian healthcare system. And i have so much respect for medical lab scientists. Patient management isnt comlete without the medial laboratory!
