Ojeremi: Why dont you read medicine, even if not for the money but for the lifes u want to save even when u can easily lose yours...instead u do a 2year diploma and want to be called Consultant.

Acidosis:

An intelligent man will never compare the salary of a Doctor with that of a Senator

docadams:
This is unintelligent submission. Are you aware of the outcome of doctors strike in Liberia?

kayciano: I can sense d overwhelming HATRED for doctors...
BUT i stil ask...Y not go back and get this medicine studied or u may possibly enrol ur kids in it.
U HATE DOCS....yet u send tributes to Dr.ADADEVOH.
Dis country is something else....
Now am begining to understand why everything BLACK depicts EVIL.
I can conclude by saying dat people hate doctors because dey feel INFERIOR ,wen eva they are around dem,which is not meant to be so.
Dey gat sharp BRAINS but u gat urs as well.
EVERYONE must not study medicine to prove his/her intelligence.
We tend to LEAD GOD,instead of the other way round.
By d way Oga JONA studied ZOOLOGY...soooo

evanscheck: I wud nt say they shud nt pay them ooo, but I am saying that wen anoda association decides to ask for pay increase like their counter part has done, pls they shud listen and endevour to increase too.

embassyman: For me, i dont think they are overpaid because, its not an area that can be melted off, but must be taken seriously by all of us, not even now that we have many viruses around, we need not only divine intervention but also Doctoral intervention,
Pls pay doctors well, i beg

uken73: They won. Hope they can justify this jumbo pay by attending to patients properly. But some would still provide haphazard service and divert patients to their hospital.

A nasty experience in a public hospital
Some years ago I was at a teaching hospital for a common medical fitness test & certification. I got to the hospital at some minutes past 8am. First I queued for card retrieval and watched as nurses would go in and have their relations/friends cards retrieved earlier even when those friends had just arrived. Then queued for Blood Pressure test and assignment to consultant. By the time I was assigned to a doctor it was almost 11:30am. I now queued again to see the consultant. When I finally go in to meet the consultant, she said she doesn't handle fitness examination and referred me to another consultant. I went and joined another queue. On the queue I was able to see the consultant doctor when the door is opened. The doctor (male) was spending most of the time browsing on his laptop instead of attending to patients. And his queue was progressing very slowly. Just when I was next in line, he told the nurse assisting him that he won't attend to any other person. This was nearly 1pm. Can't remember, but I think it was said that they close by 1pm. We were told to come back another day. I refused to leave. Immediately the last patient left I stepped in and persuaded the doctor to attend to me that I'd been there since morning and was made to wait on the wrong queue. He insisted that he was done for the day and asked me to leave. I went back to the other doctor I was initially assigned to, she had stopped attending to people too, but when I explained my challenge and the fact that I had limited time to submit the fitness report, she attended to me. By the time I was done with the tests it was already past 3pm. My whole day was virtually spent in the hospital for just a fitness test.

While waiting I had also observed how nurses would scold an old man who was groaning in pains. This old man was old enough to have children who are much older than most of these nurses, but they don't seem to have any sympathy for the man just because they believe the man had waited too long before seeking medical attention. They would make comments like "Is it today that this problem started? Let us hear something, abeg"

Fitz22:

Ignorance..were dey forced to study medicine.

EllaD101: They deserve it. How I wish am a doctor.

Acidosis:

The way "graduates" reason these days baffles me. In your myopic and shallow reasoning; all non-mbbs studies are diploma?
