wow, a talking laboratory retard. congratulations, you now have a cumulative I.Q. of 2,

Dont mind them, they will never ask for light to be provided, when next you hear they are on strike, it will be to demand for higher pay only . . what a selfish bunch.

Whether you perform operation with a torch or not, just try to save lives

@ Bikini
no hard feelings ok?but you sound like someone who's been hurt by a doctor sometimes past.You jumped away from the topic of discussion into that unfortunate statement you made.anyways you are right, when theres a problem in any sector, all stakeholders should share responsibility for the rot, but as we know if the framework and the amenitites are put in place it makes it easier to spot the bad eggs, but when power supply is at its poorest, you really cant blame the doctors or nurses for operating with rechargeable lamps which i believe is the topic of discussion.
Its bad really, ive been there so i know first hand,if you have had a relative rushed into a teaching hospital needing emergency surgery, im sure you wont mind even if they gather fireflies to get illumination, you'd just want your patient to be ok, come to think of it, im sure you'll blame the doctors more if they sit on their butts and allow the patient die because the govt has refused to be responsible.
When all is said and done, i'm so sad for the Nigerian health sector, a sector that boasts of the best brains in different professions dragged down into this cesspit of ineptitude because of some greedy politicians, may God judge them all!
So Biki, can i call you that? I'm hoping you'll join me in expressing collective indignation at the politicians who have reduced nigerians to prehistoric living.

BIKINI:

as 4 @ladeeh09 & his likes,  i'd rather be treated by a warm hearted rascal who appreciates d sacrosanct nature of human life than one who sees me as a mere increase in death statistics targeted 2 prove a point to govt that his sector is suffering a dearth .

young man, you must either be a stark illiterate or a consumate ass. if you have nothing better to say about doctors in nigeria, i suggest you go chew on some gum or crawl back into whatever hole you came from. what light to be provided? by whom? do you know what it takes to become a doctor? do you have any idea of the stress involved, the intense reading, obscene hours of work and the killing schedules doctors have to keep? come to think of it, why dont you take a trip one night to a casualty room, an accident and emergency unit or a labour ward and see what medical doctors and nurses go through. do you know how difficult it is to break the news to a deceased patient's loved ones? it is an open secret that hospitals in nigeria are grossly underfunded and understaffed. nigerian doctors working in the country do so under the most abhorrent of conditions with inadequate financial rewards, so if they want to agitate for more pay, it is well within their right. do not come here and talk rubbish on matters you know little or nothing about boy, and yes, i AM a doctor.

proproman: @bikini, am sure you won't allow a street rascal, no matter how warm hearted, treat you when you are ill. You seem to have serious beef against the doctors. Not every doctor is as nasty as you make it out. I have been to several federal hospitals and am yet to find a really foul tempered doctor like you've painted. It's usually the nurses that play that role. Seriously, you ought to give kudos to those doctors that, given the conditions the work in, wake up every morning and go to the hospital to attend to patients. Maybe you should take a day of and go to any of the federal health care institutions around you. You will find out that most times, you'll have a situation where ten doctors have to attend to about a thousand patients, that's 1 to 100. I tell you it's disheartening when you finish attending to one patient, you know there are about sixty others waiting outside. Most patients want the doctor to spend lots of time with them but you can only get such a luxury in private hospitals, if you can afford it. The doctor would like to attend to all his patients so he can have some time to himself. You can't blame him for getting frustrated. If you were in their shoes, you would also be frustrated no matter how cool and level headed you are. I can bet you that. There is so much pressure, so little equipment, really terrible environment and not enough time. Consider all these and you'll know why some doctors do get angry especially if you criticize their profession because the doctor name is the only thing that gives them pride. Apart from that, there's nothing much else for them to be proud of. You have to give them credit for trying. If after reviewing all these you still think they deserve all the aspersions you are casting, well there are many rascals out there that can give you treatment when you are ill. Am sure they will give you a discount.
