Are general hospitals not on strike ? Medical officers are part of NARD.

Dead on arrival for a several reasons..

Inadequate postmortem examinations to determine 1ry and 2ry causes of death

Too many confuting and conflicting factors.. Many aiding and abetting the unfortunate outcome.

rotadeco27:

Nope.

Resident doctors who are undergoing training to become consultants, are part of NARD, not medical officers who are not in a residency program.

The only disadvantage is that you might not find the kind of specialist to see your father in a general hospital, and bedspace might be an issue.

Soulseeker01 what's your father on admission for? What is his condition so that i can give you some suggestions?

DrFunmisticGlow:


I understand, i am a doctor, and i lost 2 relatives due to 'doctors' strikes' in the past. So yes i know what it is like.

But the real people who should be held responsible is your government, not us. If the doctors don't strike, no one will be able to do thier best in a public hospital. Nurses will not stop ' being rude'(i wonder why they(JOHESU) haven't even joined sef, they will most likely start when government has promised to settle doctors) You don't want someone who is not happy or adequately paid to treat you and your family. The average healthworker who you see in the hospital feels trapped here, they know they have better options, but most likely are trapped by family responsibility, or one thing or the other. Comments like yours saddens us the more

Even though I am not on strike, i am feeling the effects in my place of work. Workload had doubled for me. Cases that are above the center where i work, that would have been referred, are being sent back to us because higher centers are either overwhelmed, or teaching hospitals are closed.

If during average call, i see like 7-8 emergencies and admit 5, now since the strike, I would see like 16- 20 emergencies and admit like 12.

So please call your government to order.

Oh thank goodness u re a medical Dr. It means u understands the importance of saving ones life. The news says, the FG has met with virtually every request u presented except those directly under States Government. So the question now is why are you guys still striking that will warrant the Senate committee to say the doctors should be held responsible should people lose their love ones? In as much as I acknowledged the fact that the FG has failed the citizens in all sphere of life, but in a time like this, those who are trained to saves lives should trade with empathy when issue of downing tools are ordered by the body guarding ur jobs.....

kendrick93:
Quack doctors demanding better pay..
laughable
Most Nigerian doctors are useless anyway,
so many deaths could have been averted if we had competent medical practitioners..

Did you equip medical schools in ur universities to train them?

The way you open your mouth to vomit rubbish confirms how useless You are . You can never attain what those Drs have attained .

the federal government is lying through thier teeth, they have always been lying, my hazard allowance is still 5k.

5k hazard allowance is 60k a year. If i contract, HIV, or hepatitis B or COVID-19 or any other dangerous disease out there and NEED to be admitted, 60k cannot cover my hospital fees in a public hospital. on top of that i will be putting my elderly parents with comorbities at risk. Many doctors are also ill from thier line of work. Many are hypertensive, diabetic and so on.

I am asthmatic, so if i contract COVID-19 during the of duty, my chances of dying is higher than others and my family will be left to suffer and nairalnders like you will only type RIP and forget that i existed in a few hours.

My lecturers and colleagues that died of COVID-19, none of thier families have received life insurance benefits. We even had to donate out of our pocket for a houseofficer who died of COVID-19 in luth.

His was the breadwinner for his widowed mother and sending his siblings through school.

Please stop telling us to have empathy, our empathy has finished since june last year. We are tired. This whole thing is affecting our mental state. Many resident doctors cannot afford to take thier children to good schools unless they send them to the schools of thier teaching hospitals where school fees is subsidized or have to work 2 extra jobs to meet up school fees even eith the rigors of residency.

It is because of issues like this i told myself that residency is not worth it in Nigeria. I will rather quit medicine and keep my certificate to open a boutique or cosmetics shop in Eko market and trade than to write those witchcraft exams callled primaries and enter a residency program where i will be bullied by my seniors and patients like you that will be blackmailing me to work for free.

Racoon:
Pay doctors they said no.Make the hospitals work, no they wont.So it now the same hospitals these stupid Senators will not patronize but wants poorly staffed and paid healthcare workers and populace to suffer and die?

Even Palliatives for health workers,'the senators are going to see to it'.
It is unfortunate that when it comes to public good, Nigerian Legislatures are no where to be found.
- declare your Salaries and allowances to the public,no way,then you refer to Fiscal Allocation Committee.
This is unpatriotic behaviors,no more no less!

Then, the President, Service Chiefs and all DPO should be held responsible for Killings by herdsmen, Boko Haram, and bandits.

Na chop alone dey curse this na wa o

Trust me!! Many doctors abroad cannot do what nigerian healthworkers are doing. They will run back to thier country in maximum of 6 months, unless the pay is really good. Because passion for medicine starts to die from medical school, especially from clinical years.

These rubber stamp senators has loose screws in their head. Who is to be held responsible for the president medical trip to london?? For high cost of living? Kidnapping, rape, fulani herdsmen attack, high inflation, unemployment? Govt lack of plan, focus and wasteful spending? Looting? Who??

Who is to be held responsible for their contribution in dragging this death trap, muddy, shit hole, Zoo called Nigeria backward?

who should be held responsible for poverty and hunger in Nigeria?

Confused senators... instead of addressing the real issues... Better days ahead

Kebbiprince:

The poor doctors haters have arrived, those who could not make a cut off or parents too poor to send them out to study medicine have arrived. Poor Nigerians hate those doing well

If you are doing so well you shouldnt be complaining about poor pay

Coldie:
Give them their money abeg. Na only una go chop

Tomorrow they will still ask for another

Jaqenhghar:

If you are doing so well you shouldnt be complaining about poor pay

I'm not a Dr but I'm human enough to realise how you losers hate them but hail the stupid politicians that are useless to u and cart away your millions

Olarewaju89:

Those people are wasting our money with their useless preliminary sessions.
How can one person stole this huge money

Sorry to disturb, Pls whose loot was this?

Hope they don't pass this nonentity into bill
Being a broke Nigerian is a cancer that need to be cut out






Winter is Coming

Jaqenhghar:

Jaqenhghar stop falling deep in the pit of stupidity

When our gallant doctors were dying of covid-19 virus, did anybody hold the senate responsible?

See how frivolous lawmakers can be.It is the fault of the electorate who wasted votes on them.They are not trying.one bit to alleviate.the hunger ravaging us now.

Any right thinking person will hate lazy people. Only lazy people identify with their fellow lazy people

it's just pathetic.
the money being paid to both doctors and govt officials are tax payers money.tge same money these people laboured for which lead to sickness.
the govt are not bothered as they have the means to travel abroad.tge doctors want more money as they feel the govt is enjoying the largesse of the national cake.
who get to bear the brunt?
the same masses on whose money they are fighting for
