haryhorku: if the scientist that do the work bench didn't produce any results what will pathologist ratify, if the radiographer didn't do the "photo" what will the radiologists interprete, we r all professionals in our various field. tell me what is so spectacular about medicine, u chose to study medicine, everybody chooses his or her field. Doctors are not gods.
when the chips are down, the doctor is the ONLY person that can diagnose you and the ONLY person that can treat you. that is the main thing. if you guys make yourselves far more important than you are the doctors will have no choice but to inculcate your different curricular into our residency training. we can make radiography a specialist area. johesu should just calm down.

eduxerxes: In Summary,

(1) FG should not appoint non-doctors as chief medical director.
Is this not selfishness ? Is it only doctors that work in the hospital? why will they go on strike for this selfish
reason and suffer patients ?
(2) Only doctors should be made consultants-
other workers who work in the hospital no matter their qualification should not be made a consultant?
-Is this not the height of wickedness and selfishness by doctors?
So if a staff of the hospital have Ph.D, he should not be a consultant when their mates working at other places are consultants ?
(3)Only doctors should be made directors---
Ladies and gentlemen, the law says anyone on level 15 is a director in the civil service--- so why will doctors say that only them should be made directors and other workers who
rise to level 15 should not be made a
directors ?
(4)Level skipping---they want doctors to also skip levels like other- now these bunch of murderers called doctors wants to enjoy wђã†̥ others are enjoying but they dont want
others to enjoy what they are enjoying----
it is based on these reasons & more that they went on strike-----

The funny thing is, not all doctors are consultants. Before you can be made a consultant, after becoming a doctor, you will then proceed to start residency training which is verrrry stressful. In this training you will be required to write a no of exams.
Most of these exams r not passed o n first attempt and ha ve to b e repeated. It takes a no of years to become a consultant.

U cited an exceptional case where a radiographer wrongly reported ur case to be a normal chest radiograph,u of all pple should knw dt even ur consultants r not immune to mistakes and who told u dt radiography is all abt x-ray nd CT(which u can't even handle) who Man's such modalities as MRI, radiotherapy, ultrasound, mammography, etc. Nobody is trying to take anybody's position bt 4 one to call a fellow team mate in d healthcare team "inferior nd unnecessary" as well as try to hinder his progress in his chosen field/profession is uncalled for nd unacceptable. Most(not all docs) r just being too egocentric. Long live JOHESU
okechukwu erondu is a very intelligent man and knows his bounds. correction: he didn't employ doctors BUT doctors consult for him. he doesn't dare report his CTS or MRIs. apart from his basic degree he just managed to do a 3 month course in ultrasound which is not enough for him to make diagnoses.he is a SONOGRAPHER. in a sane society erondu would not be allowed to open shop. he ran from kano and Lagos when the heat became unbearable. in Lagos all radiologists have their stamps.a doctor in Lagos cannot accept radiological reports without those stamps.the same thing will start in PH soon. quackery is everywhere. the paramedical are running things in town and killing people. later Nigerians will blame doctors.

Not everry doctor self is a consultant, if JOHESu should become consultants, then all doctors r automatically consultants then what would be d need for residency, and further training. The healthcare system would collapse, because if after becoming a dortor, i am an automatic consultant, i would not bother myself to do for training it would be a waste of my time.

Patients would still suffer it because there would be no need for expertise. No need to gain further knowledge via d residency programme.

Is the same doctor colleagues of yours in UPTH that still refer patients to him.. Have you asked yourself why? The doctors in UPTH keep complaining of the wrong diagnosis made by the resident doctors and even some consultants in the dept of Radiology( The issue is if consultants are always around there wont be problems but they leave these duties to the resident doctors who know nothing about diagnosis. Most of what they learn are things a degree holder in Radiography knows already.

Drphemmy4u: After d usual 6yrs (plus Xyears) in medical school,1year internship and 1year NYSC,a Doctor could proceed on post graduate studies by writing primaries depending on d specialty he wants to go into.this could be laboratory medicine(histopathology,microbiology,chemical pathology,haematology),Radiology etc.this involves passing 3 exams.Candidates pay between 100-150k per exam.Doctors could write the exams many times before passing and can even get released from residency in a teaching hospital if he fails to progress within a set time period.it takes 6-12yrs depending on your speed(plus research work),thus becoming a consultant in that specialty(taking 14-20yrs of academic and hospital practice).NOW,a lab scientist who studied only at undergraduate level in 5yrs wants to become a consultant in that field simply because he has been using reagents and analysing samples?those who can go for masters and PhD amongst them should do so and become lecturers under the university(They lecture medical students in pathology classes too).This needless fight for supremacy should stop.The patients are at the receiving end here.
Will they just become consultants without going through years of specialized training too? Stop misinforming the public

pfijacobs: I'm a final year physiotherapist in the college of medicine university of lagos.. I stay in a room with 4 mbbs final year students amd I must say.. The bias to the oda sectors even @ an undergraduate level is too much. This goes to show that d level of moral decadence, prejudice and pride in these doctors is too much.. To get total and optimum medical care, u nid all aspects of the health team to contribute immensely and efficiently for d best medical performance. Imagine a stdt here telling us that they shud b given 2 man rooms dat d rest should go and look for somewhere else here.. Its outrageous.from d onset, dey believe dat dey are better and as such, prejudiced to ALWAYS be in top consideration for any form of medical consideration for profit only.. Der are physios who finished skuling before some consultants bought jamb form... There was even a day I was writing my clinical exam and I had my steth on and a.Dr friend was like 'dude go and pull dat steth jor and stop decieving people dat u r a doctor' I was like wtf? D steth is to check oscultations of d heart and not a title landmark for a Drs decoration. Enlightment is d key. They should go out.. See d way things are done outside and emulate d peace, serenity and cohesion dat exists between us as medical practitioners.. Its not our fault dat we are called doctors by d public. And very soon by the grace of God, wen the Doctors of physio,pharmacy bill are passed, and wen now started running d same 6 year parole wit dem, ehen dey will calm down.. But please let's strike for important tins.. Dis is a form of racism we so madly hate. Nobody likes to be trampled upon. So I dnt blame johesu. Make ur demands and don't counter anova person's own I'm not on anybody's side tho. I just feel I shud say dis...heck I even have an exam now sef....LONG LIVE. JOHESU!!! LONG LIVE NMA!!!! More patients, more money, more peace and prosperity... #united nigeria...


Dr.pfijacobs

The fact you assign an appellation you have not earned I.e ' doctor' to yourself lies the problem! All JOHESU,embers want to feel , earn, look, be addressed, and carry the respect that doctors have in the hospitals! But the fact remains NASU cannot become professors by a political solution! Therefore the only way to medical consultancy is by a medical residency program!

...... if u see a strike, dont go reminding us of the hippocratic oath which u know nothing about. We wrote it. We swear it, we know what it means.
Johessu on the other hand is an irrational organisation made up of other health workers, infact, basically everyone who works in a hospital. From accounts department to cleaners and the aggrieved non doctor health workers, whose sole aim is to frustrate the health sector.
In a hospital, there is the director of admin, as powerful as the CMD. An office open to every one and in most hospitals, if not all, has never been smelt by a doctor.
How can someone who is not a doctor be fighting for chief medical director. So the accounts department in a police station should start fighting for Inspector general, cos they work with the police?
How can nurses start talking about consultancy? They have matrons, CNO's and all what not. Consultancy is a position, not bestowed upon anyone. U go thru a residency program, write exams and become one under a recognised medical post graduate college.
And by becoming a consultant, u have the sole responsibility of the patient. Every other person, from the resident doctor to the nurse and orderlies are mere aides.
I don't know how to start explaining this because no one would understand. Its like 2moro, assuming when Nigeria was under military rule, civil defence would come out and demand to become president. But when the war starts, u send the soldiers. That u match infront of ur civil defence office DOES NOT make u a military combatant.
And if the same benefits given to these soldiers are given to the boy scouts, every one would become a boy scout.
Medical doctors were not selected. Its open to everyone. If u want to be a consultant or a CMD then u go and study medicine. U dont wake up one morning and decide to convert ur profession to what it is not.
U say Nigerians are subjecting their patients to quacks. Who are those quacks? Are they not the same people who believe by working inside a hospital they've become doctors? Thats exactly what Johessu is doing.
The federal govt acted like they did during the fuel subsidy, kidnap, bombings and all their plain acts of ignorance. And the medical profession has just had enough of the stupidity.
The Chief medical director office is the BIRTHRIGHT of medical doctors as much as being president of Nigeria is the birthright of a nigerian citizen. U cant come from ghana, live here for 30yrs and demand to be president.
There is a medical salary structure worked out based on relativity. No doctor has ever fought the govt based on how much they chose to pay other health workers. But relativity keeps it sane. Without the cleaners in a hospital, it wont function. So therefore, they should strike till they are paid higher than the graduate workers? because they are equally important?
Keep salary structure relative, keep qualified people in their due offices and provide an enabling working environment. I dont think thats an irrational thing to fight for.
And saying NMA is envious is only laughable. Envious of who if I may ask? Of the nurse? Are u seriously for real?
Johessu members can blog all they want and seek cheap sympathy for as long as they want. The fact still remains that the truth is the truth.
I can't chose to become a doctor and 2moro start complaining about Mikel Obi's salary. If I wanted, I could have become a footballer.
I urge Nigerians to understand that these strike, as much as it affects them, is not directed towards them.
ASUU strikes over salary, college's off education and polytechnics are on strike over money. No one has called them evil. We strike over common sense and people start ranting.
There are laws. In Nigeria, u cannot become president without at least an SSCE. If u chose not to go to secondary school, then thats ur problem. U chose ur profession, or u failed to meet the standards of the one u chose and hence went to another. Which ever way it happened, thru ur own fault or circumstances surrounding u, u dont try to turn an existing system upside down to suit ur selfish needs from wat u imagined a particular profession gains financially , at the expense of quality, efficiency and common sense.

Doctors have pride in them right from training to practice. They feel they are superior to other health workers and if you want them to even see reasons with you they end up telling you they spent 7yrs in school as if others spent 7months there. The truth is nurses are well trained both in theory and practical from diagnosing a patient to treating them. A nurse that knows his/her onus can even operate yes can operate but of course their licence didn't support that in some instances. Even the so called doctors(ho) still learn from the nurses on the ward . They misbehave cos so much importance has been placed on them so they see themselves as 'gods'. Smh.

please stop luring shamelessly here. doctors send patients to erondu because he gives them a cut per patient they send. say the truth. it is unethical to split fees in medicine and those doctors are committing crimes BUT as per expertise, image diagnostics is zero. in UPTH, before you are treated, you must repeat the radio. investigations in the radiology dept of Upth. they don't accept results from outside. what knowledge do degree holders in radiography have about diagnoses?? don't make me laugh.they are bound to make wrong diagnoses once in a while.no one is infallible.but to say they send to image diagnostics because of wrong diagnoses us a bare faced lie. people are becoming aware that image is not a doctor and thank god professionalism is coming into play. in the last couple of years proper diagnostic centers are opening up.trans view, union, precision, George's e.t.c.

For your information, Interpretation of Radiographs, is not rocket science... Many radiography program have pattern recognition and image interpretation in their curriculum and most of the contents of the Residency program are treated in the B.Sc radiography programs. Radiologist in many countries are drifting towards interventional radiology, rather the radiologist in Nigeria have ndetermined to do the elementary aspect of radiology. It shows the rot in the system.

Quelme: point of correction lab scientist and not technician. You thought everybody went to school of health tech.? You've failed dude...

I thought that scientists are those that invent new things. And they are mostly seen touring the moon and back. So I prefer the word Lab Technologist bcus their work is technical and there hasn't been any record of new inventions by the so called lab scientists.

Abinitio in the days of hypocrates and the ancient medical practitioners, they did everything themselves without the alied health workers. But as medicine evolved, there was a proverbial "let's make man in our own image and likeness" so some group of people were called together and were thought how to collect samples and run some basic investigations/lab tests. They were called Lab Technicians.
Since then till date, the work has not changed! The only thing that changed was the quest to be equated as Doctors hence the speedy upgrade from technical health schools to a University. This doesn't make u scientists. Remember, all u study in school in 5years, the doctor did that in 1year. The 3rd MB Class and there is nothing u know the doctor don't know more. Can the mother ever be addressed as the head of the family in the Bible? The answer is no! No matter how foolish the man is, he is programmed to be the head and the wife the helper. So the wife can help the husband become better and not to over throw him. Period.

Sentiments apart, u can't suffer so much to be a doctor right from JAMB days and expect to be rubbished latter by mediocres.

First of all if u want to quote me, do it properly, u joined my statement with urs making it incomprehensible!!!!!.......
Also u dnt just say "reason b4 u type" for no reason, it doesnt make u look any wiser.
D title CONSULTANT is researved in the health profession, it is not for everybody, it is not even for all doctors! JOHESU should look for their own name and make it prestigious then they can begin to share it with everybody




Just like saying everyone who works in a court should bacome SAN because they are important
