Benwems:Please stop talking rubbish So registrars go to bed one night wake up and they are consultants after years of just "asking questions" All of this based on your "visit to Germany" Have you heard about Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba Go and research it. A Nigerian registrar in the UK who got into difficulties a few years ago She was overworked and overwhelmed by workload with No consultant in sight on the day she had a problem. Registrar level doctors hold up healthcare systems ALL over the world They run clinics in General Practice and Specialist care often independently In this Germany that you talk about they have 1000s of Independent Nurse practitioner who also run clinics so please stop misinforming people 7 Likes |

Every single day, Nigeria Government is making studying medicine as a course useless and unworthy. *Entering medicine is trouble *Studying is trouble *Getting Housemanship space is trouble *Oya pay na wahala *Getting a Residency is hell Many young graduates are subjected to private hospitals and are paid peanuts (60k-100k) it can be 120k if it is in a good private hospital. Government is trying as much to limit employment. Every year they graduate nothing less than 1000 doctors and this number is too low According to the WHO directive. It supposed to be 1 doctor to 100 People at most 200 People in rural settlements but Nigeria it 1 doctor to 100thousand people or more. My advice to aspirants is not to get high hopes. The system crumbles everything. Those that can leave will leave. Now Residency is now a tough thing now. People are paying for spaces into specialities. Nigeria should use grade system like the US do. Once you can't get a particular CGPA forget that residency. All these wealthy people and "I know person" People are doing their own. I hope Medicine in Nigeria doesn't reach the "Engineering" phase of unemployment. 6 Likes |

dokgen: Oga doctors on NYSC are not house officers. You google to understand housemanship is first. Secondly Nigeria is one of few countries in the world that pays house officers. House officers are doctors in training, they do not perform any role in the hospital without supervision. In the U.S. students pay to enter housemanship. If doctors are demanding we treat them like it is done in other climes then we must start from somewhere. 3 Likes |

DrFunmisticGlow:Mr doctor, as an intern you have no business been called for emergencies especially at odd hours of the day. It is the work of registrars (resident doctors in the hospital). Blame the failed system mostly on the CMD and governing council of the hospitals in Nigeria. Everybody likes to do oga in Nigeria so the small registrars push the work to you the intern because an average Nigeria does not want to work but to collect salary. Consultants shift their job to senior registrars. Senior registrars shift their job to junior registrars Junior registrars shift their job to interns (house officer) Most we blame government for everything in this country? Blame the hospital management and your senior colleagues. Also blame the Nigerian ‘I am oga attitude’ 5 Likes |

DrFunmisticGlow: Do they pay engineers and architect salary during training ? For engineers, ITF pays very little stipend for 400 level SIWES. That money was paid through schools after submission of SIWES report. That money was very irregular in those days. I don't know about Architectural students. Government might have observed corruption in the health sector using students on temporary services. Medical students know that Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are not easy subjects during JAMB with limited time. Engineering is not easy, but not respected. 1 Like |

What’s good for Bala is good for Bulus, doctors should finish school/training before being paid please. FG and states can’t keep paying these guys to carry file and and be moving about aimlessly in public hospital wards. Spite me of you may, I’ve said it |

omonnakoda:You are the person misinforming people And you the person talking trash. Registrars on night shift are not meant to go to bed. No talking trash. It is because an average Nigerian is gullible that is the reason you doctors and people Brian wash them. Your talking of registrars becoming consultants, they learn from their consultants, as questions, read their books, consultants explain to them the diagnosis and prognosis with time the gather sufficient experience with the number of cases they have seen. Write required exams and if they pass become consultants. I will not argue with you. My father is a medical doctor from Germany. He’s a consultant and a professor. I’m not talking out of ignorance. I have also been to India and seen how their health system is run. Lying that resident doctors are the driving force of the health world wide is a big lie. People go to specialist for consultation not registrars. What happens is that there is usually 1-2 registrars with the consultant Learning from the specialist. It’s only in Nigeria , people consultant registrars because the consultants have refused to come to work. In the consulting room, it’s usually you and the specialist. You can even politely tell the consultant that you want some privacy that you want the registrar to leaving and the registrar will leave. I have done the twice. No big deal. It’s in the theatre that they are most needed to gain one on one experience and knowledge. Stop the lies and propaganda. 6 Likes |

Basically nobody should be paid unless they are full fledged doctors or whatever .... like you are saying here... residents should also not be paid.

DrFunmisticGlow: It is because everything works. I don’t want to write much. Nigerian doctors are also fraudulent. I know an O and G doctor who operates a successful fertility clinic (IVF) in the south south. He does not pay his correct tax to Edo state government. I have first hand information because a close friend works in his account department. So please in abroad people pay the correct tax amount, their government put the money to good use. The doctors in abroad are ready and willing to work for their salary but that’s not the case in Nigeria. Let’s be truthful to ourselves. 2 Likes |

Benwems:What has registrar going to bed or not got to do with the issue here. There is a huge difference between Shift work and on-call work and that is a working pattern issue, nothing to do with the issue on this thread You cannot reason properly and you and your father's biography is irrelevant. I am just correcting the falsehoods you are putting out there. The simple fact is that before doctors become specialists they work . They perform JOBs such as running routine out patient clinics, and manage wards. They are supposed to be under "supervision" which may be daily , weekly or less frequently depending on the nature of the work in question Should they be paid for that work. Yes or No? That is the subject of discussion here not those wild and irrelevant stories you are telling us You say you have been to India. Are House Officers paid in India? 2 Likes |

I can see 2 or so individuals on this thread spouting rubbish confidently. That your father is a consultant or you've been to a clinic in Austria does not make you knowledgeable about health care in the Western world. 1) a lot of Nigerian doctors in the UK choose GP because it's the quickest route(3years)to become a specialist in the Uk. They have wasted years in Nigeria already, it would be foolhardy to expect someone in his 30s to go start 7 years surgical training in the UK. That being said, we still have Nigerians doing training in other specialities, though it's roughly 25% of the total number of Nigerians in UK Training. 2) Registrars are the driving force of any tertiary hospital anywhere in the world. You can take that to the bank. And a medical registrar is THE main guy in UK hospitals. 3) again, I implore my colleagues in final year, start your japa plans with IELTS in final year. You won't regret it. Nigeria and Nigerians will sort themselves out. 3 Likes |
