omojeesu:Actually that can be debatable. Every need of humans is very important for our survival. Using Maslow hierarchy of needs 1)The psychological needs which are the basic and most essential for the survival of humans comes first .I.e air, water, sleep, shelter food etc The professionals required here are Engineers and Architects to provide shelter Agricultural expert or farmers to provide food etc 2) Safety need comes second, which is the need to ensure personal security, financial security, Heath and wellbeing. The professionals required here are Doctors, security guards, bankers and accountants etc 1 Like |

AnonHq: Exactly my point. You were forced to study medicine without having the aptitude. There are a billion courses (exaggerations intentional) more mentally demanding that medicine even within the health sciences like biochemistry. Why do heck do you think Nigeria don't have courses like a astronomy, space science, astrophysics, astronautics, aerospace engineering etc? This is what differentiate countries and the knowledge is often hidden. Medicine is way easier is basic knowledge is within man's grasp and natural knowledge. |

Teemaan: Overhyped? Never you said that again. As a matter of fact, doctors are not even treated well at all. They deserve all the respect and hype they get. There are lots of responsibilities that come when families place survival on the neck of a doctor/surgeon. Any slight mistake, and a soul would be wasted. It is the same when people say law is overhyped. Many who say this have never had the chance to need a lawyer in times of trouble so that they can appreciate lawyers. I appreciated my father's lawyer who stood for 10 years until my father got his lands back. 1 Like |

kowalsky:I am not talking about pay as I'm sure the OP isn't either. Doctors deserve their pay. If not for anything, for the exposure to diseases and the melancholic environment they call office. It's life afterall they help save too. Very important c I'm are talking about the awe, reverence and wonder attacked to it here. And that's not same over there as rocket scientists, inventors, pharmacists etc get that kind of awe doctors get in underdeveloped countries like Nigeria. |

This is the problem with most of you: You adore people because of what they study, what they earn, the post they hold, where they're born, their status in the society, etc. If we all learn to honour and respect people because they're humans, Nigeria's problems will drastically reduce. Our so called love is not real, this is why Ambode will most likely fix a case of robbery in Ikoyi than those robbery cases on the Mainland. The urgency to fix the problem is first, tied to the "type" of people living in Ikoyi. We don't love genuinely in Nigeria; contrary to the popular lies we tell ourselves, we are far from being a loving people. If you love and respect people because they're Doctors (not because they're human beings with a soul), then your love is highly questionable.. Truth is, you do not love.. Take away the Dr., and you will see how mindless you're. If, in your job, you give special attention to some class of people over other fellow human beings, then you're far from loving. Note, there is nothing wrong in paying some class of people more. An experienced Doctor should be paid more than a Nurse because he renders more/costly services. Contrary to the popular belief, a Doctor should not be paid more because; 1. He spent 6 years in school: this I must say is the most myopic view ever. Some carry-over students spend 10 years.. does it mean we have to pay them more? Of course, No! 2. He deals on human lives: as reasonable as this sounds, it's still not a logical reason to pay them more. Drivers, Okada riders, etc.. deal on human lives. Mechanics deal with humans. A mechanic error can kill over a 100 passengers at a goal, it is as bad as that.. so it is actually du.mb, when anyone raises shoulders and expect to be paid more because you touch blood. No, that's du.mb.. Your so called illiterate mechanic can deliberate alter your braking system and before you say jack, you're already at the "other side"! In sum, lets all respect people because they're first, humans, before becoming anything. If you render more service, if you work in a booming industry, then you deserve to earn more and be respected like every other human being. This status-gap we see today is a result of the half baked education a lot of people received in this country, and parents as well are culprits! Go and check the wealthy 21st-century families, you will hardly see any parents enforcing some courses on their wards. The practice of reverencing some courses above others is common among those on the lower end of the tree. 5 Likes |

God has created the world and humans in such a way that there Will be division of labor. What that means is that we compliment ourselves to exist properly. No one is on top of the other on the course of carrying out a team work. Not even because of one's profession or vocation the number of years spent is not even the yardstick else catholic priests should have that bragging right. Look at the field of medicine where the pharmacist research and produce drugs of which without the drugs, the Doctors work is in vain, a patient come to the hospital, the lab scientists has to carry out examination to tell the Doctor what to treat. The Doctor will diagnose and nurses give the care. So It's a win-win situation. 1 Like 1 Share |

I don't see "passion for life" in (most) this new generation medical practitioners, most of them or their parents want names and prestige (the characteristics of an inferior human being). The over hyping is coming from the notion that medical doctors are always tagged intelligent, brilliant, smart, successful... Forgetting that no profession is short of those qualities, it depends on how one sees it. I respect every profession along medical line. They are all vital to our well-being and I think it is one field of endeavour that doesn't require ego, it is not meant for low esteemed, half intelligent, egoistic individuals that enrolled because of the hyping. 1 Like |

Smartchidi: A doctor is a Doctor, their degree no talk doctor of the heart or Doctor of kidney.. The body is made up of organs and systems that work together. When one system wey u no dey specialize on is causing damage to another system, because you dey specialize mean say u go dey ignorant and your patient will die away? An Ideal doctor knows all but a doctor is human and not a computer... If i gv u syringe to draw blood u, it looks easy but u cnt.. A new doctor can make mistake or forget which is very normal but he gets experience as the years go by talking without reasoning is not your case but Ignorance... You feel you knw abt the profession but you don't. it is trash because it specializes when every single course of earth specializes... You will only understand their importance when you just get kidney failure or one kind disease wey hard to control after u don blow like Dangote... Na then u go knw say u say no be beans |

greiboy: YES, BUT ALL NEED GOOD HEALTH TO FUNCTION! MAY YOU NOT BE SICK, VERY SICK THEN YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT A DOCTOR IS. EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT BUT SOME THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS. EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT BUT, YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS. EVERY WORK IS IMPORTANT BUT THOSE THAT HAVE TO DO WITH HEALTH ARE MORE IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY THE PHYSICIAN'S WORK. SOCIETY RECOGNISES IT SO THAT'S WHY IT PLACES A HIGH PREMIUM ON DOCTORS AND THEIR SERVICE. BUT IN THIS COUNTRY OF OURS DOCTORS ARE NOT VALUED. THAT'S WHY MANY LEAVE FOR WHERE THEY ARE APPRECIATED AND VALUED AND COMPENSATED WELL. YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE. |

300wayne: Yes I concur. Life is not meant to be a field of competition but an arena for complementary activities. The world got to where it is today because teachers, farmers, bricklayers, doctors, engineers, traders and every other person did what they were supposed to do. If you ever feel you should compete, make your competition a daily improvement of what you are called to do. Everyone and every profession is as important as others. |

Acidosis: Official number of years it will take to cover syllabus of medsurg or related- 6years, others 4years but because some refused to read and kept on piling up carryovers over 10years, you should be paid same? PS Medsurg takes 10years in many universities others 8years **their work is so voluminous and it is crucial for them to never for what they know. The payment they get is paltry compared to The work they put in **like i always say You will only appreciate doctors when you are a billionaire but have Kidney failure or one kind disease condition wey hard.. You will pay everything, sell your land, everything to get well |
