homesteady: Of course. Why will I work in private as an intern. The workload na die plus they won't pay an intern as well as federal government. It's not because there is no money, it's a private sector things:maximize profit. An intern can make what the govt pays interns in a week. The average pay for a post nysc optometry doc in private is 120k. In three months it's increased. Plus ur Outreach programmes. And most don't stay in one employment for long. Opportunities are always there for u. U can refuse to work in one place and yet net up to 200k minimum a month. Ask optometry corpers hw e dey be. |

homesteady:If u bring up d dental cases of d USA to explain d dental disease burden in Nigeria, he'll call u a liar, but at d same time he was playing smart by bringing up hydrocephalus case statistics of America to explain its disease burden in Nigeria. What a hypocrisy! |

originbm:Mr Man, can't you just be straightforward? Reply me based on what I said and not what you feel like saying! |

Mandeyy: Y are u always correcting inconsequential things. I purposely lumped them together because that's not the point am making. Neurology is a medical subspecialty, neurosurgery is a surgical specialty. Just like a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon, or an ophthalmologist and an ophthalmic surgeon. For e.g, to qualify as an ophthalmologist u need a fwcopth, but to qualify as an ophthalmic surgeon, u need an fwcs. I dunno y u keep giving childish corrections. Do I look like ur junior colleague in dentistry? Na wao |

homesteady: So u now have a remote in your pocket with which to alter my thoughts to fit your purpose. Is my answer not comprehensive enough. Look at it again, the answer you want is there. U dey find transition point abi. |

originbm: I don't get, poverty-motivated? WTF is that? So if DJ Cuppy ask her father for money, it is poverty motivated? I have my books to read, I don't stalk students. Do you also have their pictures you self-service to at night? Stalkers do this a lot. Are you scared of sending me money? Was it not you that claimed you are richer than all my generations? If you are not sending me money, then keep your fantasized riches to yourself. |

originbm:Who told u that lie. Cleft lip and palate surgery is sponsored by an NGO called smile train from America, cos d people mostly suffering from it are poor and cannot affort it. Smile Train works through our oral & maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons and orthodontists in Nigeria. There're two other NGOs set up by our own Drs Seidu Bello and Ngutor (oral & maxillofacial surgeons) who render free surgeries sponsored by philantropic Nigerians. It's a major surgery that cannot be done in a private dental clinic in Nigeria. |

Mandeyy: He made the point, I sent another study. Look it up before shouting hypocrisy. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by homesteady(m): 3:22pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm: You have been so specific concerning Optometry and Dentistry and Neurology and Dentistry. So I want you to be more specific between Neurology and Optometry, which is more lucrative. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 3:24pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: If u like jump out of ur screen, if you can't make money from your profession don't disturb people. The fact is that ur defense is centered only around surgery in your field as being lucrative. Then I look around and see no sign of the inflow. Yet u r yapping. I ask again, where are the flourishing dental clinics. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 3:27pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
homesteady: Oga I hv given u my answer. Both are lucrative. Both are more lucrative than dentistry. |

originbm:All we're saying is that hydrocephalus cases are rare compared to ameloblastoma in Nigeria. Google also d cleft lip and palate and ameloblastoma surgeries done by oral & maxillofacial surgeons in Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) from where u picked d hydrocephalus case. I know Profs Mobolanle Ogunlewe. Godwin Arotiba, Wasiu Lanre Adeyeemo (all oral & maxillofacial surgeons) have done countless cases of ameloblastoma, cleft lip and palate surgeries at LUTH. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 3:39pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:U don't read at all. That's why i said earlier that u hate facts. According to that report u put here, d writer said that d prevalence of hydrocephalus in "developed countries" is 1.2/1,000 unlike in Africa. So, u don't know d meaning of a developed country. D writer further stated that its prevalence is uncertain here. Nawa for ur lie o! |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 3:42pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: I left you to studies to compare. The comparison he was making was BTW cleft lip and palate and hydrocephalus. So I sent a study to the effect. I also made other points. But you conveniently ignored that. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 3:53pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: You hv started the insult again. If I respond in kind you will start sulking. Please u r a scientist, or so I actually think. Go back and read that report again. It says the figures may even be higher in Africa. I guess u r d one who cannot read. What is more, you are typically calling me a liar for telling u a truth u don't want to hear. Even a documented truth. Funny you. Read the report and tell me who hates fact now. |

originbm:Most researches on disease prevalence in Nigeria are hospital-based. Besides, adult cleft lip and palate sufferers feel shy to come out for community-based surveys where accurate prevalence and incidence rates are determined. Also, d writer wrote "even probably higher" cos he was not sure. Hence, in Africa, no accurate statistics exists regarding prevalence and incidence rates of diseases. It has always been guesswork by researchers in Africa. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 4:19pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:There's nothing like FWCOPTH. We have just FWACS, and it's for an ophthalmologist who is also an ophthalmic surgeon. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 4:21pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: Oh. You need to read it again. The only bit uncertainty is that it might be higher in Africa, not lower. The statistic of 1.2/1000 was not an uncertain. The probability of deviation lies on the side of probable higher prevalence in Africa, not less. Read again. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 4:27pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:Are u in their pockets that u don't see the inflow? U must be blind if u've not noticed those big private dental centres in Nigeria. Ur points are out of point. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 4:33pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: Yeah my bad. I meant FRCOPTH different from FRSC. In Nigeria there is FMCoph different from FWACS. they are different colleges. For instance I can't be a retinal surgeon with just fmcoph, u must have a fics or FWACS. West Africa has no separate college for general ophthalmologists. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 4:40pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:He was not sure; he was just guessing. I've carried out epidemiological surveys in my master's degree in medical microbiology, before going to study dentistry. It was from there that i realized that most of these surveys are not representative of d true prevalence & incidence cases of diseases in Nigeria. He was just guessing. As a researcher, u don't guess to arrive at a report. Where's d proof? He has got no evidence or verifiable data from a survey to prove d point. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 4:41pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: U r a blind bat if u fail to note that thriving dental clinics are very few in Nigeria. How many thriving dental clinics do u know Mr seer. All around is evidence that dentistry is not lucrative and u are asking me about their pocket. Can u cover the moon with your hand. The plight of dentistry is common knowledge. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 4:48pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: Oga don't tell me that bullsh*t. His uncertainty was clearly stated. The sociological factors that gave birth to it was admitted. Even at that, the uncertainty is still on the side of increased prevalence for hydrocephalus. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 4:54pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:It's FRSC; it's FRCS. A retinal surgeon just needs only one (in Nigeria, either FMCopth or FWACS). FICS is not important in Nig. FICS is mostly not awarded by exam. It's still d same in dentistry. U need either of d two (FMCDS or FWACS). FICS is also awarded to dentists but not really by election while FFDRCS, FDSRCS, FDSRCPS (fellow in dental surgery of the royal college of physicians & surgeons) are awarded to dentists by exam. However, a consultant may still want to have all at d same time, but it's just having one of them that qualifies a medical doctor or a dentist as a consultant. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 5:11pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy:I am not going to start arguing. You need either fwcs or frcs to be a proper ophthalmic surgeon. Fmcoph makes u a general ophthalmologist who can perform some surgical procedures like cataract and pyerygium excision. You cannot operate a sphenoid dysplasia without a surgical specialization. West Africa combines it. But most ophthalmic surgeons first aquire fmcopth then go for FWACS. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 5:36pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: The fact is that you will hardly find a retinal surgeon with just fmcopth. true u need just one to be a consultant, but most have both. You can pick up any osn Magazine and flip through. But then the dichotomy may not be sharp in ophthalmology as in neuro where the neurosurgeons perform surgery and not the neurologist. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 5:40pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:Even neurosurgeons need either of d two in Nigeria (FMCS or FWACS). |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 5:42pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:I meant it's FRCS, not FRSC. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 7:00pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
Mandeyy: Yeah but the point is that while neurologists manage medically, neurosurgeons manage with surgery. These are asides by the way. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by Nobody: 9:06pm On Jan 30, 2018 |
originbm:Neurology needs either FMCP or FWACP or both. |
Re: Optometry , Dentistry Or Physiotherapy? by originbm: 7:03am On Jan 31, 2018 |
Mandeyy: Yes. College of physicians. So they don't manage surgically. Neurosurgeons do so. |
