Mr. Egghead made an innocent and true statement about his"world class EBSU" not comparable to UI and other first generation University but because he felt out of place, he attacked that statement with false intent and fallacies like a castrated rabid dog.


And the baffling part of it is that some people who also suffer from such incurable ignorance like his, who also felt out of place, liked that decrepit ascertion of his.

Abeg, Medical school pass Medical school ooo.... If you're in one not comparable with the BIG BOYS, please manage it and improve on yourself to be an enviable and respectable Doctor, irrespective of where you are trained ( This applies to all medical student).

I have been on this forum for quite a while on ghostmode, observing such shameful statement overtime. But today I had no course than to correct such.

Abeg what's the anatomical basis of suprapubic cystostomy?

ejehijustice:

At the bolded, does this imply that it is only those who did not attend the "BIG BOYS" schools that need to improve on themselves to be an enviable and respectable Doctor?

Are you also implying that once one attends the "BIG BOYS" school, one don't need to improve on oneself to be an enviable and respectable Doctor as the school has already bequeath one with such status?

Normally the bladder lies within the pelvic cavity.But in a condition whereby the bladder is unable to empty itself of its content(urine), the distended bladder will extend into the abdominal cavity, stripping the peritoneum off the anterior abdominal wall as it does so in the suprapubic region, such bladder can easily be accessed by ths method with little or no risk to the peritoneum.

What do you think is in UI that's not in EBSU? Your comment is one of the most senseless comments of 2021. The two medical schools were accredited to train medical students to become qualified medical doctors. So, none is superior to the other.

You should have cautioned your fellow UI student who started the comparison.

Moreover, I have people at UI. So, UI medical school isn't superior to EBSU medical school. It's students like you that make unnecessary comparison. Medical doctors don't do that, because it's what you give out as a medical doctor that determines the stuff you're made of.

Mandeyy:


The news is on Nairaland here. It's UI that's a second rate medical school, not EBSU, if a slowpoke like you doesn't know that an MDCN-accredited medical school is at par with its mates for the training of medical doctors.

Screenshot where it was rated the number one teaching hospital in West Africa.

Thanks a lot. It's clear now.
Which text dyu recommend for Gross?

According to Mr. Mandeyy, his "world class EBSU" is equal to UI, UNILAG,ABU,OAU, UNN, Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Yale etc, since all are accredited and fit to study medicine = DELUSION OF GRANDEUR ( This should be given the most ignominious and fallacious statement on Nairaland in year 2021)

Hafa Baba? I just don't know why but since I joined this thread, I've been watching you for some time and I've noticed that you always get yourself into unnecessary and baseless arguments coupled with throwing insults..

I'd not be fast to forget that it was the same you, when you were in UNN's Dentistry who will not let the house hear word with your BDS vs MBBS arguments, but since you got into EBSU MBBS, you no longer go into the BDS arguments. It's just like your presence here is just to get into trivial arguments, and it's totally uncalled for..

Please, we're all mature people here, let's just learn to respect one another and abstain from derailing this thread..

coolxpaul:

Thanks a lot. It's clear now.

Mandeyy:


Don't say what I've never written on this forum. Maybe, you saw the wrong person arguing over MBBS versus BDS. You can screenshot where I argued over that. For your information, I first got admission into medicine, but lost it because I came late for registration. That's why i wholeheartedly opted for dentistry before I went back to medicine again.

If you want to make an unbiased statement, you should have scolded the first person who wrote that standard varies and then made an unfair comparison between UI and EBSU. He should have made his comment without dragging EBSU into it. That's the bone of contention.

Of all the Nigerian medical schools, it's only EBSU he felt ok to use to make unnecessary comparison, and you felt I should not talk because I like to make unnecessary and baseless arguments? Nobody is happy when you underrate him or her. Therefore, i cannot sit back and watch someone ridicule my school, when the person rightly knows that any MDCN-accredited medical school is fit to train qualified medical doctors. And for a new entrant into medicine writing what he's not sure of, is improper. Maybe, you don't know what's inferiority. Hope you'll be happy when your medical school is ridiculed or seemingly exhibit unnecessary maturity just to make people believe you're actually mature in that situation? I corrected the first guy's statement. Or did you see where I did insult the first guy?

Moreover, we're all humans. So, when someone's emotion is high, he or she is bound to react unkindly. Or have you never done that in your life?

The essence of this forum is for medical students to put heads together, but a situation whereby some begin to make unfair comparison about certain medical schools, then, I cannot keep a deafening silence when my school is ridiculed. So, if you want to be on the side of the truth, caution others to stop making inflammatory comments here. Or have you ever seen me compare any medical school with the other here? That's not why I'm here.

You can go ahead and mention those unnecessary arguments you've found me in or throwing insults here. Didn't you see where he first started the insults?

Just screenshot my comments on BDS versus MBBS here that I disturbed the house with. All I said before here when the issue of MBBS versus BDS came up was that they're brothers and belong to the same body and that they're both good. I still maintain my stance till today.

The problem with some medical students is that they like to underrate other students' courses, and that's usually the genesis of all these verbal wars. You cannot see a dental student start comparing medicine with dentistry; you cannot see a medical laboratory science or nursing student start comparing his or her course with Medicine. It has always been medical students. Let's tell ourselves the truth.

Maturity begins when we respect other people's choice of career, school, etc. Maturity means we should not make unnecessary comparison; maturity means that every course is vital and should not be looked down upon. Else, the students or graduates of those courses, schools, etc, will not take it kindly with that person. And that doesn't mean that he or she defending his or her school, course, etc, likes to make unnecessary and baseless arguments or is feeling inferior. Let's learn to choose our words well. That's where wisdom lies.

You should try and be unbiased in your judgements. Looking down on other medical students' schools is not good. I expected you should have addressed the bone of contention instead of digressing to irrelevant points, in order to paint me black here. Thanks for your comment.

Xandre:
You should take out time and take a look at all the texts you have in my mind for Gross and then make your pick.

Choices of Books also vary widely from schools to schools. I don't think anyone should really make a pick for you.

All for the sake of egos... I better pass my neighbor...na my own better pass... or something

Quite unnecessary. Nobody "needs to make a point" abeg. Make una rest!

DrImmaculate:


Just see the problem, I must say it blatantly that you sir, are just feeling inferior. This was your same problem when you were in Dentistry. You said the guy is a jambite, so why waste your time juggling insults and arguments with him. You're far bigger than this.
You rightly said that any institution accredited by MDCN is qualified to train efficient doctors, you just should have stopped there. Why dabble into all this mess?
I for one know some EBSU medical students and graduates and they're quite great. I cannot begin to argue which med school is better than which. It all boils down to the individual student's input to make him/herself at par with his/her medical counterparts both locally and worldwide. We saw Boss Lomaxx distinguish himself as a medic par excellence here on this thread even though he went to UNIUYO ( prior to knowing him, I couldn't have concluded that UNIUYO was damn good). Same goes for the other schools. EBSU is good, UI is good, abeg make we leave am like that boss.. Med school, let alone the country is just too hard for one to be engaging in all these.

I do not mean to insult your personality chief, I just want you to learn to stir from all these arguments that makes the thread's page go lenghty for nothing. The two of you arguing for 2 pages now haven't made any difference..
Pls don't bother coming after me, cos I won't respond.

SHALOM ❤️

Every discipline I'd say has it's intricacies. It would be rather shallow to say Pharmacy is tougher than Medicine or vice-versa.

I have someone close who studies Pharmacy.

The kind of things she complains about are largely Lab Reports(you can easily have 3 reports to submit at a given time), Dispensing Lab(and the ease of scoring a zero, it's even regarded a norm), Pharmacognosy and their many leaves and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (the ease of failing a whole question because you got the preceding ones wrong).

Even carrying that heavy COdex is definitely something. People flopping anyhow and having to go back one year.

I for one I'm not a fan of excessive chemistry(chemistry that has reduced to just drawing awkward lines and imagining where carbon atoms are ). In Pharmacy, their world revolves around chemistry, not my thing.

On the flip side, in medical school you attend dissection sessions where formaldehyde and it's attendant pungent odor leaves your eyes watery and labcoat smelly. Some school's insist on students taking Tetanus injections at regular intervals as a precautionary measure should one cut himself.

Reading Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry for two years(it's shorter period though) and you're required to go over everything again because you're about writing an exam that would take you forward or contribute to the misery of medical school should one fail. You've probably heard about people losing their minds in Medical school, ironic right?

The lecturers that would come to class with outrageous amounts of slides and sometimes yab people.

Going on ward rounds with a consultant during a certain rotation and the consultant decides to chew you because you forgot something about the pathology of the condition before you, this is usually done openly among colleagues and the patient. Many ladies just burst into tears; normal thing.

The extremely late nights and very early mornings.

Steeple-chase tests that require you staring at maybe a severed arm with the cubital fossa pinned and you're asked to name the structures that make up the roof, floor and boundaries under 1 minute/45 seconds.

Histology practicals that leave you confused even the more because what you're seeing under the microscope has no semblance to what you saw in the textbook.

The grading system which is usually a negative one for a question you attempted and got wrong as opposed to leaving the question unanswered and scoring zero.

In the light of all these, every course has their not so cool aspects, I'm sure even students of Glass Technology or Home Economics would definitely tell you their courses are also tedious.

The patient should be the center in health care not the cases we hear of Doctors (Med/Dent) having issues with MLS guys or Physiotherapy people feeling the doctors(Med) are usurping their duties. These issues are usually the Genesis of most MDCN vs JOHESU brawls.

I hope you got me.

In Addy to that Pharmacy goes to the Lab for cadavers, we do Physiology and Biochem extensively.

So be prepared for double stress as Pharmacology will still come at you.
