Stop ranting.

Nigeria has a failed education system that churn out relatively few useful graduates from all field.

You don't threaten Microbiologist or Biochemist to run away from hospitals because you can't secure a place in the hospital environment.

I'm a microbiologist, did my I.T in laboratory settings. After service year, l did work in Medical laboratory until l left for my second degree where l worked in University Molecular Laboratory as a contract staff.

ls one thing is to have knowledge of the theory and it's another to have the practical knowledge. Nigerian Universities produce theories of a graduates without practical including you that is ranting.

Countries are producing Covid 19 vaccines and drugs, where are the microbiologist, the biochemist and the so called MLS. How equip are the school laboratories where all these students that are produced. Most students have never focused a sample under the microscope.

At least, l can handle molecular equipments, extract DNA and amplify them. l can carry out virtually all basic laboratory tests in an average Nigeria laboratory. You think l got these skills by mere theories?

Look, l don't know how old you are but l will advice you to be proactive and diplomatic in your approach.

Just to compose your thought in simple English is very difficult for you to do. Now, imagine the type of MLS you are.

here you are complaining of biochemist,microbiologist and SLT. You've forgotten when your stupid union was fighting with Pathologist? Saying Pathologist don't belong to the lab. You now give licences.

Guy, Medical professional courses do not churn out graduates with only theory. I'm sure you know this.

Though what the guy typed up there was an eye sore. I couldn't read it.

But I know every profession is trying to protect their own. We all know MCB and BCH do not have the requisite knowledge to man a Medical Laboratory. That is the plain truth!

I'm sure you did your IT in a private establishment that could only run simple to moderate tests. Something Medical technicians would do without blinking. MLS is way beyond that.

In all, Find happiness In whatever you do.

He's only protecting his own.
MedLab started way back to 60s but was only updated to a higher level cadre in 2003.

Biological sciences are the ones fighting MLS because MLS cuts across those professions and those professions always feel their calling is in the Laboratory.

Pathologist vs MLS is more of superiority. While biological sciences are just people that want to cut corners.

I totally agree with you that MCB and BCM churn out unimaginable numbers yearly. That's fact. They can't man a standard lab. That's fact.

lf you say MLS are well equipped, tell me where they got equiped. ls it from our furnished school laboratories across the country or our hospitals?

MLS is broad in the sense that it's encompasses BCM to MBC and biological sciences but not specialized like the above courses.

How deep is the knowledge of MLS in Bacteriology, Virology, immunology, Mycology, biotechnology, Toxicology and other BCM sub areas?

ln life there will also be competition, niche specialization and displacement.

MLS should present their certificate to hospitals and get employed but not ranting that hospitals should be left for them.

In developed world, hospital laboratory has sub units with different specializations. You can't be a pathologist and Mycologist at the same time while also answering a Virologists. Remember it's doesn't stop with diagnosis but also research as well as lecturing.

Based on Nigerian standard, they are equipped as much as they could be. More than MCB and BCH.

I always try as much as possible to correct the notion that MLS encompasses BCH and MCB. MLS only cuts across the Medical aspect of those courses.
So as far as Medical MCB and BCH is concerned, MLS beats them hands down. How many crash courses did MCB and BCH do in their 4 years study. How many practicals, were they assessed, which Teaching hospital assessed their competency. Did they have any knowledge about Anatomy, physiology and Pharmacology?

Sir, MLS is only interested in MICRO-ORGANISMs that are Medically important. Same with BCH, they are only interested in Biochemical substances that are Medically important.
So they are far more knowledgeable in the medical aspect of virology, mycology, toxicology, immunology and biotechnology.

BCH and MCB have advantage in the sense that those courses are general. They do not have deep enough knowledge about those different areas until postgraduate.

The point is; In the hospital, as far as diagnosis go, The different sub-units are all filled with Pathologists and MLS. Because we have those that have specialized in different areas.
Example:I could be a Pathologist with bias in Virologist. Another pathologist could be a Mycologist same with MLS with bias in virology and mycology. But the fundamentals is that; They are Doctors and MLS.

Research is for everybody.Any scholar can do research and work in research institutes etal MLS,BCH,MCB, Doctors e.t.c.are all free to do research. Reason for M.Sc and Ph.D.
Same with lecturing.

The law is already there, that prevents others from working in the hospital except they have the requisite knowledge. BCH and MCB should advocate for MLSCN to uplift the ban in training biological sciences to man a Laboratory. Laboratory goes beyond thypiod and malaria test.
Put a MCB or BCH in a Reception to collect specimen from Human and see them fumble.

Lol, OP I share your sentiment. But you should blame your hospital MDs, Laboratory HOD and employers in general for always wanting to cut cost by employing other personnels of different fields in the laboratory simply because they take lesser pay.
Working in the hospital laboratory as a non MLScientist I can tell you that the practical aspect of their work is very easy and can be done by any trained personnel who never went to medical school, provided he/she has basic medical knowledge. You know I'm saying the truth
So instead of ranting on Nairaland, you should hold your employers and your council for being docile in implementing their laws because there are laws that forbids other field from being in the lab

If you're complaining about your jobs being taken away from you, what will you say about the pharmacist whose job is being taken by auxiliary/registered nurses, pharmacologist, road side Chemist, patent drug dealers, anybody from any field including lawyers gann??

All my MLS friends are not even afraid of BCH/MCB because they know BCH/MCB are not even up to their technicians much less MLS.

You are saying Nonsense!
I'm sure you are working in a private hospital Laboratory that carries out simple to moderate tests. If you are working in a secondary or tertiary hospitals, you wouldn't say these things. You think MLS ends with malaria and thypiod
It's like saying Chemist can do what a pharmacist can do because the former knows basic in drugs.

If you think you can carry out test or you know more about tests; I will list 100 tests now that you know nothing about and it's being done by Pathologists and Scientists in the various tertiary hospitals. Except you want to tell me any dick,tom and harry can do what Pathologists with 6yrs+1yr+1yr+3-5yrs did or MLS with 5yrs+1yr+1yr did.

I'm a graduate of MCB, did my IT in a Lab and NYSC in a Lab,still working in the university Teaching hospital and also a medical student right now. So I know what I'm saying.

The only place BCH/MCB can successfully shadow a scientist will always be in private practice that mainly operate MCB/Haematology units with moderate tests.

Hahahaha!
You are asking me how many people do LH test?
Of course some tests will surely be routine. But we have more specialized tests done in our tertiary hospitals and some 4/5 star rated private establishments. Like I said, visit a tertiary hospital to learn more. Not some road side hospital that treat only thypiod and malaria.

Who are the employers?
A MLSt can never settle for a 2 star Lab that would be running only MCB/Heam routine tests with a meagre 20-40k salary?
Mind you, majority of these employers are still MLS themselves or with their Licence. So no think am
After Internship and NYSC, most MLS are already well to do. You can never find them jobless or crying up and down.

Na still the same BCH/MCB/SLT still de open thread up and down wailing on how MLSCN has been treating them since the discontinuation of Associate degree.

I have actually followed your argument.. For the sake of peace
If you are not licensed and certified by the professional bodies in field of medicine please you are not permitted to handle patients at all.. MCB/BCH can work as scientific officer in the hospital. And please don't equate them to MLS OR PATHOLOGIST OR PHARMACIST.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PLEASE GET JAMB FORM AND APPLY OR BETTER, DIRECT ENTRY WILL BE YOUR BEST BET.. AND YOU START FROM YR 2 TO LEARN BASIC MEDICINE AND PROCEED TO HIGHER LEVEL.

Even basic medical science graduates don't compete or rob shoulders with medical professionals.. Please be guided. If your not licensed, don't handle any patient before you will get yourself in trouble. Or you will be arrested and prosecuted for quackery.

I too don't have much problem with them.But they should stop those rubbish talks of saying MLS are new guys and should not be doing what they are trained for.Moreover our lives are involved,this guys are numerous and that makes it impossible for proper training of this guy,so they shouldn't be allowed to diagnose human being.They have a lot of branches which they can venture into.They should learn to respect the law and humanity at large

FBB100:

no one is hating here rather you are the disgruntled lab scientist here
To set you straight,none of those aforementioned can lace MLS when it comes to laboratory medicine.So I will just advice you to take your pain ass out of here.As far laboratory medicine is concerned,Mls can not be under anyone.Not even the lost pathologist to the frames quacks like BCH or MCB

If it was BCH and MCB you are doing igberaga for I go understand. But Pathologist? You know in the US they are given licences by ASCP. So just wail in your sifia pains

I have actually followed your argument.. For the sake of peace
If you are not licensed and certified by the professional bodies in field of medicine please you are not permitted to handle patients at all.. MCB/BCH can work as scientific officer in the hospital. And please don't equate them to MLS OR PATHOLOGIST OR PHARMACIST.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PLEASE GET JAMB FORM AND APPLY OR BETTER, DIRECT ENTRY WILL BE YOUR BEST BET.. AND YOU START FROM YR 2 TO LEARN BASIC MEDICINE AND PROCEED TO HIGHER LEVEL.

Even basic medical science graduates don't compete or rob shoulders with medical professionals.. Please be guided. If your not licensed, don't handle any patient before you will get yourself in trouble. Or you will be arrested and prosecuted for quackery.

Please tell them.Jamb or Direct entry slots are available.They should stop trying to take short cuts because of money.Whoever wants to handle human samples should apply to any accredited college of medicine and get his or herself trained.Thanks for telling them the truth but they are too dumb to learn
