coldsummer: Great.

Medical profession should be more of saving lives and not more of making money
do you think anybody will do that wahala for free or do you know any school that trains them for free

ALISMILE: For me I agree wit d FG on this one. These Drs ve no value for human lives they re suppose to b protectin. They re naturally well paid already. Wat else do they want? Must evrybdy milk this country dry. For me the most dangerous job in this country is being a Policeman. They re killed on a daily basis and there is no person to fight for them. They re d least paid in d world and they can't even go on strike. Thank God I don't fall sick wit my constant MORINGA and my early mornin water therapy.
in d end you will still die of sickness or accident. i pray in ur old age ur children will take you to hospitals for medical attention . by then medical profession will be history in nigeria. i am going to ensure that all hospitals are close in this country. india is not too far.

lafuria1: If this doctors start carrying arms and blowing up hospitals , this goverment will not only grant them amnesty but also sponsor them to the best teaching hospital in the world.

The doctors won't lose that much, all they need is open private hospitals or travel and be doctors in other countries.

And, have the Doctors been doing their supposed jobs? They're aware of the present state of health in the country and they sat their asses at home. And now that GEJ has permitted them to remain at home, they're now making noise. Educated FOOLS!

If they were doing what they ought to do, there wouldn't be any of these. They got what they bargained for.

Fair enough. They are not completely innocent. I blame ASUU. They tot everyone how to strike

thandii1:

And your own family members are immune from accident or serious illness? Or even you and your colleagues? Or you can treat yourself at a terrible accident scene where you are bleeding or even unconscious?

I don't even know what the fuss is all about. You and your colleagues have been on strike for close to two months and the hospitals have not been shut down, so please what difference does it make now that you have been sacked? FG only made it offical, you have been useless in the last 2months. I thought you all were enjoying the strike and adamant on not returning? You have been begged to resume, but you refused, preferred to see the patients die and suffer, now your employee decides to sack you and you are all crying over the internet threatening nigerians.

There is so much rot in the health system and instead of you all to come together with joeshu or whatever they call themselves to ask for what is right, good working conditions, better facilities, you are busy fighting yourselves over 'who heads the hospital that is already in shambles', poknosing your long nose into who becomes a consultant in his field, requesting for increase in hazard allowance for yourselves only, constantly talking down on other professionals that help your job well done. How does it feel that the almighty indispensable doctors have been dispensed?

Also, a great percentage of resident doctors are not retained after their training. After their 6years they leave the hospital in search for jobs or retired to their private clinics, as their contract will be terminated and only a few of them are reabsorbed back as consultants.

I hate this administration with so much passion but doctors should please stop with this sense of over importance.

Ps-when ASUU goes on strike, nigerians curse them like there is not tomorrow, so get over yourselves with 'nigerians hate doctors". Nigerians generally do not like when unions fight more for their pockets than the interest of the nation.

the only time strikes are effective is when the strikee has som'n to lose.this is why ASUU strikes are ineffective and nupeng strikes are not cos the politicians can move their children to ghana OR USA but they have to buy fuel here and their staff cannot serve them when there is no public transport.so now is the best time to get anything they want from govt just like army is collecting nooney to fight boko or militants getting salary and scholarship to allow oil to keep flowing.why they don't give us roads or hospitals cos we'll vote for 10k and some rice,fufu or kerosene

Re: Government Vows Not To Recall Sacked Doctors by Sirgen05(m): 8:15am On Aug 17, 2014
Read for your good, not for your sympathy but to let u know more about the Nigerian doctor


Slaves of the M.O.D, Exposé:

Nigerian Ministry of Defence Owes Doctors and Interns
Salaries For 6 Months
There is a very sad situation affecting the brightest of our youngest
minds.
Medical doctors who were employed as House Officers and the
interns in other paramedic disciplines undergoing their One-year
compulsory training in the 5 Reference Hospitals under the Ministry of
Defence, have not been paid their salaries since they were appointed
6 months ago!
The hospitals involved in this scandal are:
•The 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Yaba
•Military Hospital, Lagos
•44 NARHY, Kaduna
•Nigerian Navy Reference hospital, Ojo
•Nigerian Airforce Reference Hospital, Ikeja.
Normal civil service practices stipulate that normally, interns and
House Officers are not paid until 2 or 3 months after employment, but
these doctors have been counting down the months since receiving
their appointment letters in February (2014) with no hope of when
they are even going to get paid.
Various pleas to the authorities in their various hospitals have fallen
on deaf ears as the doctors are always being told that their salaries
are coming from the Ministry of Defence headquarters in Abuja.
Letters delivered to the Ministry of Defence by the interns always go
unanswered.
To make matters worse, doctors in these 5 affected hospitals are not
allowed to go on strike actions and they are the only government
hospitals that have been working in full capacity during the strike
action embarked on by the Nigerian Medical Association.
The patient loads in these hospitals have tripled since the strike and
the hospitals, especially the Army hospitals, have not paid a dime as
compensation to these health workers who have been enslaved by the
system they've found themselves in.
The Ebola Threat
Added to the myriads of troubles these doctors are facing already is
the Ebola threat which arrived Nigeria with the entrance of the late Mr.
Patrick Sawyer .
The doctors are made to take General Outpatient calls, meaning that
they are the first contact with all kinds of patients even when the
hospitals have not provided any kind of protective gear for the
doctors.
All there is on ground, are the face masks and hand gloves which
serve only minimal protective functions. The emergency rooms remain
as broken down as those in any government hospital and with the
heavy patient loads in these hospitals, it is almost impossible for
doctors to observe proper precaution. These hospitals offer no form of
insurance cover or hazard allowance for the increased health risks
their doctors face daily.
The situation appears to be most pathetic at the 68, Nigerian Army
Reference Hospital in Yaba where doctors under anonymous sources
have complained of been overworked and understaffed.
While the Airforce base hospital in Ikeja is highly selective with the
kind of patients the doctors attend to, the military hospital in Yaba
(which is a next door neighbour to the Infectious Diseases Hospital
where the Ebola patients are quarantined in Lagos) accepts all kinds
of patients as the hospital has enjoyed a financial boost throughout
the strike period.
Bed of Corruption
Dr. Orji (not real names) spoke of moving to Lagos from Enugu for his
housemanship with all excitement but has been forced to depend on
his aged parents to continue sending him money from their meagre
pensions.
“I thought that my life would be different now, but almost 7 months
into my training, the medical students are better than me.”
He continues, “My hospital (Yaba) makes millions daily from this
strike but nobody has asked us doctors how we are faring. The other
day, we were asked to pay 4,000 Naira for sanitation fees otherwise
they would kick us out of the accommodation premises that were
assigned to us. Where do they think the money will come from?”
These appalling conditions are what medical doctors and interns who
left school less than a year ago, are being put through by their
country. Some few individuals in the top echelon of the ministry of
defence — emboldened by the silence of the heads of these hospitals 
— have conspired to sit on the salaries these doctors have worked
hard for, and at the same time, exposing them to all the risks and
hazards imaginable.
These monies which have been approved and released, are fixed in
bank deposits where they are rolled over every month with the ogas at
the top profiting from the sweat of the young men and women who
are doing all the work under the most inhumane conditions.
Is it any wonder why every young doctor is struggling to leave the
country?
As it is, there is nothing here for them.

MUMU. So, this was how US came about their zMapp, by going on strike and remaining at Home.

If they don't want to work, there are a good number of people who are able and willing to.

Which Profession pays higher than that of the Doctors? And yet they go on strike when they're needed most.

Go and advance your mindset a little.
