Onlinebizexpert: all I see from this article is a pained NURSE who probably is trying to show us that he has better prowess in vocabulary than SENATOR PATRICK OBAHIAGBON


you are trying to address an issue by writing an article to both medics and non medics and all you do is to use medical jargons in all your statement so that readers of your article would see that you are equal or even better than a doctor.


since you claim that you got better grades than the student doctors in your time...why don't you just dress up and walk to the nearest hospital and start attending to patients since DOCTOR ARE DISPENSABLE and probably you have gone to more conferences than them

I am not against your views but I can see that your anger is not directed to the issue at hand but to some personal ego based grudges you have against doctors if not you would not have written the trash i just quoted

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv


non medics dont understand that most nurses are simply angry that a newly graduated doctor can just ORDER them around even though they might have stayed in the hospital before the young man/ woman entered medical school

to be sincere in this war of power neither the DOCTORS' view nor the NURSES VIEW matters , what matters is the PATIENTS WELLBEING

i have gone to some hospitals where they claim that NURSES are now attending to patients, i stepped in without even being on doctors regalia all the patients ran away from the nurses so that they can get better care from a doctor

it is not about grammer or the amount of medical jargons you can speak, no matter your intelligence, your degree, qualification, money, where you read a NURSE CAN NEVER EVER USURP THE ROLE OF A DOCTOR WHO KNOWS HIS JOB WELL

so mr professor in nursing and midwivery, when you have developed extra balls enter the hospitals and take over the role of a doctor just for one day I believe you will understand that you would just be a QUALIFIED SERIAL KILLER


thanks and God bless you

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

GOD HELP THE PATIENTS

FDenigma: Paramedics in the American sense is what you have defined. A medic is a doctor. All other allied health workers are referred to as paramedical staff. Derogatory? Would you prefer I said "non-MD/MBBS doctors"?

PS: if doctors in Govt hospitals restrict themselves to "only our work", God knows how many more patients would die from unchanged infusions, missing records, unsent lab samples and delayed results? When ds strike is over, please spend a day with a doctor in any teaching hospital.

kbshow100: Not ready to read to read that stuff (too long). I need summary

hydeka: Awesome! I have said this before and I will say it again. Doctors have made themselves dictators in the healthcare system who think they can hold everybody to ransome because of their selfish demands which they want us to believe is in everyone's best interest. In the hospital they act as the lords even in cases outside their jurisdiction. They want to head every department in the hospital because they claim to know everything about patients, drugs, physiotherapy, nursing care and they go about dictating to everyone. They believe their opinion should be final. And now that the other members of the healthcare team are standing up to put an end to this anomaly, they resort to blackmailing the government and the people. That is professional tyranny at it's peak. All health practitioners are stakeholders in patient care so there is no reason why a particular group should resort to an autocratic approach in the administration of such a team. If they are all needed to ensure proper healthcare delivery, then they all should have equal say in matters affecting the team.

azimibraun: This is just not the "Bomb" but also the " Explosion" this guy is brilliant and knows what he is saying. Danm!!! Guy I have a Master Degree and I say you sure are a brilliant individual. Waiting for a Doctor to respond to this word to word. I don't need insults or " he doesn't know what he is talking about o" just respond to what this brilliant human hd said.

Little wonder NAS the Rapper said Knowledge is king. Guy na King U be.

VirginFinder:

Not at all!

Women admire their successful superiors especially those who are brave enough to break into the male dominated professions, positions and achievements.
Female nurses adore female doctors and are proud of them anytime anyday.

On the other hand, men envy their successful counterparts and do everything to either bring them down, be like them, outdo them or avoid them altogether!

That's why okada/keke riders hate car owners.

You hardly find a literate and illiterate man mingling together like pals. Reason: inferiority complex.

But an illiterate woman will find no qualms in respecting, appreciating and taking the lower ground in her friendship with a literate person.

infolekan:

That's what's obtainable. The Pharmacists head the Pharmacy dept....the Nurses the Nursing dept.
You should have known these before posting comments here. Doubt you even know what the whole fight is all about.

dabriggs:

Shame. Big shame. Go back and read ths write up again and again. The past you quoted was penned down because Anifowosire or whatever his name is had used the same analogy by trying to make superior the verb to "doctor". This write up simply also made superior the verb to "nurse".
The write also never talked about uusurping the roles of Doctors. Note, the writer saying that each of these professionals are necessary. This senseless strike isn't about who diagnoses a patient or who performs surgery (whether the nurse or the doctor)! No! We know the Vital roles of the doctors and the vital roles of the nurses too. Even the pharmacists who dispenses medication is important.Each professional plays a role in the value chain.
It is cheaply about who leads the HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. In my opinion any smart healthcare professional should.

It will really take forever for this country to Develop.

heykims: With all due respect,a medical doctor's line of duty can never be threatened by a nurse, what do nurses know?
A nurse is only there to carry out d plans documented by d doctor, their job is just to execute d doctors' order, so i don't see any threat to d line of profession of a magistrate who sentences by d prison officials who carries out d order.
As such, d little clinical experience re only derived when carrying out d docs' plan of management, so they then get to learn different lines of management of various health conditions from d docs' documentation, they av no formal training.
Nursing students ain't taught ow to examine patients nd neither do they acquire skills of diagnosing in school (who will even teach them when even d qualified nurses don't know it coz it isn't required to discharge their duties), so i then begin to wonder if it is even appropriate for nurses to establish coz they don't av d formal training to manage patients..
In fact it is funny nd i see it abnormal also coz once a nurse graduates from school wt a degree (Bnsc or so), she doesnt require any further education to get promotion to d highest nursing rank, she/he just sits carrying out docs' plan nd promotion keeps coming wt years spent. This is absurd..

sainty2k3:

Nigeria has less than 70,000 doctors and that include those that are outside the country and even d dead.
Wen u talk of job description , I 'm sure u are only being received by Johessuite here, doctors don't encroach on anyone's job, u can goggle job prescription for each profession and see. What we rather have in our hospitals this days is that some people now considered their duty lowly which is not e.g in most hospitals,nurses no longer join the round,and leave u alone to find out all that has been wrong with the patient(this is ethically wrong for them). I bet it that people don't even know their job description, they just accept job offer.

VirginFinder:

Look, a male nurse doesn't deserve to have a pEnIs!

How can you be enjoying the company of females in a 4-yr nursing course when your counterparts are burning the midnight candle studying a 6-yr medicine and surgery course?

After all said and done, they want to enjoy the benefits that comes with being a medical doctor.

They even want to be referred to as doctors! Damn!!

Males nurses are simply suffering from inferiority complex.

It's like comparing a soldier man to an officer.

No matter how many years of experience a nurse has amassed, a doctor fresh from medical school is her boss.

priscaoge: They should call off this strike abeg!

Smartsyn: How about the patients perspective,



the patients are dying, please help them live

elohorayodele: My friend has had pain on his left shoulder for 2weeks, Reddington diagnosed HBP, Cedarcrest said its a muscle tear, both gave him several injections, drugs n lotions to use in massaging it but the pain only grew worse. He found an indian doctor by chance who diagnosed acute Ca deficiency , gave him some drugs. Indian dr was so furious the last Nigerian doctor injected him at the back muscles that he insisted he calls him to ask why! The Naija dr could not defend himself when confronted. My friend after some hours used that arm to lift stuff for the first time in two weeks. Beware of Naija doctors and misdiagnosis.

like u do summarize love making wif those gehls. bro like lovemaking THE LONGER THE SWEETER.

ignis: Are medical practitioners supposed to even embark on strike?
I thought the major driving force to the profession is passion to save lives.

blink182: when you see something bigger than you, you should excuse it and not fool around or display ignorance. Get out of this place!

Morotov1: Careful perusal of the posts here on these very thread and you will see for yourself how admittedly a doctor acknowledged doing the works of others.
Meanwhile, we don't have paramedics in Nigeria except you are using it as a derogatory term for other health professionals. Paramedics are trained emergency medical personnel so i haven't seen nurses, pharmacist, physiotherapist, med lab scientists being that.
