Look, this is 2018, you shouldn't crossover this your Agbero-styled argument pattern into this year. Debate logically with facts and you wouldn't have to be screaming at the top of your voice.

How would you classify Hydrocephalus as a common disease and classify Ameloblastoma as a rare case? Are you freaking kidding me? I haven't even seen anyone with hydrocephalus, except on TV, but I have seen many cases of Ameloblastoma which is quite common in the North. What of Cleft Palate and lip? This are not even among the most frequent cases Maxillofacial surgeons treat.

I guess you have realised your folly, that's why you refused to answer my question on who gets to see more patients between Optometrists and Neurosurgeons.

Boy u hv one problem. U think you are smart. You are only smart by half. Optometry has far more patient base than dentistry. Neurology has far more patient base than dentistry. You picked on one disease for ur comparison. Even your comparison is flawed. Look at the link I sent you. How many specialties routinely send pxs to u. U r confused.

Facts aboutHydrocephalus|Hydrocephalusstatistics ...

http://nhfonline.org/facts-about-hydrocephalus.htm

Before pasting nonsense, check out the statistics on hydrocephalus. I don't get my info from Twitter, I get it from professional websites

If you were Serbian your name would have been Brainlessav Morronovich.

Do you even know how to use Google? The images I posted are easily gotten from Google and it is streamlined to Nigeria.

Your evasion of some of my points only points in one direction.... grin grin

Are u not foolish. U have never seen hydrocephalus. Ask any uniben student who did neurology rotation in September last year. There were two cases of babies with the condition. I am not turning the thread into a submission for neurology. Neurology cuts across other specialties. Dentistry does not. Dentistry is a struggling profession in the private sector.

My friend supra is a colloquial term for supernumerary. Don't tell me nonsense. Don't give me stupid childish corrections again. You are stupendous liar. Of course I know that u not only falsify facts, u choose the truth which favors u most. Dentistry that takes just two resident per specialty. How many specialties do u hv.
This befuddled fellow, weekend locum sustains many doctors. If u were to go supra in Benin where would u cover. Omo go and relax. Supernumerary means that you must show evidence of ability to pay available fees. Must your sponsor feed you? Getting financial statement is nothing. Anybody can give you his. It's like what you do when you are traveling abroad. It's just like getting a guarantor. U can get statement through any means. So don't tell me nonsense. Some just get statement of account purporting to sponsor. The prospective resident tender it as evidence of financial competent but sponsors himself. A dentist will never try that. Where will he cover. Which clinics. Which patient load.
You are the deluded liar. Telling shameless lies and arguing what you know nothing about.
Guy, by ur utterances, it proves to me that u're not cultured and well mannered. Do u just want to tell me that getting a locum job is hard for a dental supernumerary resident (suppose it exists)? Dentistry has nine (9) subspecialties recognized in Nigeria. Residency training depends on facilities for training. Even in medicine, 2 or 3 persons can be taken in a specialty for residency based on training facilities on ground. It's govt's fault that training facilities are not adequate for residency training in both medicine and dentistry.

Dental subspecialties are as follows:
Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology
Oral Medicine
Oral Radiology (But it is not done in Nigeria; It's done abroad; May begin soon here)
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Periodontology (Periodontics)
Paediatric Dentistry (Child Dental Health)
Orthodontics
Prosthodontics
Endodontics
Dental Anesthesiology (But it is not done in Nigeria; It's done abroad; May begin soon here)
General Dentistry


Besides Dentistry is a branch of medicine just like Cardiology, Plastic Surgery, Endocrinology and the rest. That's why i mentioned them as subspecialties. The difference is that Dentistry is studied as a separate course. Moreover, in West African College of Surgeons and National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria (NPMCN), it's a faculty just like Cardiology, Plastic Surgery, Endocrinology and the rest. In NPMCN, there is even a faculty of General Dentistry. Wikipedia said Dentistry is the oldest branch of medicine.


Pls, i'm done with u. Enough of this name calling. If u can't respect urself while commenting, pls i'm done with u. I believe u're a kid; otherwise u wouldn't be writing insulting comments here.

Please slowpoke, which ur point have I invaded. Your link categorized hydrocephalus as uncommon. I showed u a link saying it's extremely common. Pls have sense. I gave gazillion points y u can't compare dentistry with neurology. I told u that both have more patient base than dentistry. I wouldn't understand ur point.

Okay, let me just make the conclusion for you, since you are trying to evade it.

Originbm said Optometrists have more patients than Dentists, therefore it is a more lucrative profession.
Optometrists also have more patients than Neurosurgeons and Neurologists, therefore it is also a more lucrative profession.

To return to your point. How many of those specialties are functional in private practice. How many are lucrative or command patient load. You are not getting something : patient load plus frequency of lucrative procedures plus commodity sales determine the lucrativeness of a profession. If neurology where to depend only on Sismese twin separation, no matter how laudable the procedure, volume of px will render it an unprofitable specialty. So the point is how lucrative are those specialties. They are ordinary dead ends.

Ur inference is faulty because optometry is more lucrative than dentistry not just due to patient which is a principal factor , but due to commoditisation and procedures. The sure thing is that both optometry and neurology are far more lucrative than dentistry.

Road accidents happens on a daily basis in Nigeria, and a great percentage of those affected always have some maxillofacial problems which are corrected by Dentists.

You were to dumb to catch my drift. Let me just clearly spell it out to you - Are there more neurological patients than "Optometrist" patients?

It's even on this Nairaland that a medical doctor posted a job advert of private dental clinics in Owerri & Onitsha in need of newly graduated dentists they will pay N80,000 to N100,000 with accomodation.

Don't even talk of neuro surgery. Their procedures come regularly. Optometrists and ophthalmologists make referrals majorly to neuros. If obgyn, endocrinology, pediatricz, rheumatologist, cardios are all referring to them, can u imagine hw lucrative it is? Neuro surgery in private practice is also massive. For e.g cerebral adenomas are common. Brain surgeries to contain seizures, epileptic fits, are common. Cerebral hemorrhage, cortical blindness... Most subspecialty have convergence with neuros. And they r extremely few. Neurosurgeons earn a lot. Their procedures are lucrative and patient base is large.

I'm every surprised u don't know d difference b/w neurosurgery and neurology. Separation of siamese twins is d work of a neurosurgeon, and most of these cases (hydrocephalus, siamese twin's separation, etc) are rare compared to dental diseases.
