“Lawyers collect 10 per cent; architects collect 3.5 per cent as commission for performing their duties.
“So, what percentage do you want to give a doctor for saving lives? The society should treat doctors fairly”, he said.

ojuafact: becos teacher dont listen to student rather student listen to teacher and teacher teaches the student not the other way round

Village man..

Now let's take a cursory look at the word "doctor" you've been mouthing all over(as if you invented it in your grandfather's backyard). Open your dictionary and read the different meanings the word "doctor".

It is derived from latin word "docere" meaning "to teach".

In no particular order, a doctor is----->

1. In education; teacher or scholar: a teacher or somebody very knowledgeable.


2. somebody with highest university degree: a title given to somebody who has been awarded a doctorate, the highest level of degree awarded by a university

3. Roman Catholic theologian: in the earlier history of the Roman Catholic Church, an eminent and influential theologian.

4. medic, dentist, veterinarian, or osteopath: a title used before the names of health professionals such as physicians, dentists, veterinarians, and osteopath

5. somebody who can fix things: a skilled practitioner of something, especially fixing or improving something.


Have you noticed you can't protect that title 'doctor" for your benefit alone unlike the "Biomedical scientists" and "pharmacists" in UK protect theirs and make it criminal for any other person to use.

I'm sorry, you can't sue anyone who addresses himself as a "doctor" even if he is a mechanic(check no5 definition). So sweat less

I beg, u tooooo much!

ziga: That is a million Dollar question!!!

Doctors inaction has allowed quackery to ruin the health sector.

Nigerian Doctors should have an online registry that can be accessed realtime. Let us know who is prescribing medicines.

Just like in other parts of the world, registered Nigerian Doctors should have registration numbers that MUST be available on every prescription medicine before it is dispensed by any pharmacy/drug store/hospital.

A lot of the agitation by NMA is to protect their profession. Too many usurpers!!! Everybody in Nigeria is now a Doc without training.

Killing poor Nigerians.

ziga:

In the hospital, the title Doctor is reserved for Physicians.

Our patients do not need any more confusion.

Physicians are called Docs

Nurses are Nurses

Pharmacists are pharmacists

Lab scientists are lab scientists.

Everybody should love and practice their profession!

And whoever does not want to be listening to Docs in a hospital, should get another job or go back to school.

Afterall, lots of people do it. It is okay for people to think they can do better than the Docs we have, just as long as they do it the right way. By going to med school.

hayoakins: To an extent, he's right but experience most times supersedes qualification. What the 30yrs experienced matron knows may save the patient's life and not what an inexperienced doctor can prescribe. Being a doctor, it's obvious that the lawmaker's objectivity on this issue is impaired.

The superiority claim of the doctors is killing the sector. Can the doctors effectively manage a health centre alone? Hell NO!

Oduduwaboy: hmmm...the next point of agitation of JOHESU is for their members to also be addressed as 'Doctor '. Infact , the pharmacists have started it through their D.Pharm degree.lol.

Next will be the nurses & physiotherapists & other what-nots .
hmm...Nigeria is a wonderful country #everybodydeservestobecalledoctor

Samgreguc:
get urself educated pls.
The title Dr, is nt jst for Physician or Dr. Goodluck a Physician?

Emelcee: Nigerian Doctors, what do they know? Pharmacist should be ahead of them.

ziga: In normal countries, nurses that care about patient care and love their jobs carry out the orders of the Doctor.

But in Nigeria, things are upside down.

Imagine us arguing about what the duties of a Doc or Nurse or pharmacist is?

What will we teach our children for goodness sake.

Regardless of how much anybody hates anybody else, the truth should be the truth. It never changes.

jayseehe: I hate it when Doctors brag about saving lives. Mofos

deols:

Dont you say that, man.

An average Nigerian is uneducated. In fact more than an average is. A nurse's experience is not in the field of diagnosis and treatment. A nurse's 30yrs experience only supersedes that of junior nurses. Not a doctor's.

The rigorous training of doctors ensures that they are competent enough to do what they are to do at each stage of their training(n.b doctors train for life)

I Must say that an average Nigerian Doctor is GOod(or stuffed as they say). The people need to be more trusting and appreciative of their efforts. I have met a good number and I'm very impressed at how much they can do with the little resources at their disposal.

I expect the public to be demanding answers from the government. Y would a responsible government allow the health system to go down for this long?? And allow the masses suffer??


Johesu members av bn going to work doing nothing all d while. Doesn't that even show that the reason patients come to the hospital is to consult with doctors(physicians?).

And no, the CMd can only be a doctor. Allowing others is only to create an impending chaos. Why can't the government see that?

JONA Just has to go. It is unthinkable that all sorts of civil unrest keep happening under a government. Tjis is a spineless government.

chucs: You are saying that If a nurse,pharmacist etc bags a doctorate degree they won't be referred to as Doctors?

eaglechild:
Not in the hospital setting.
They won't.
