read the thread again and understand undecided

He committed suicide after failing his exams. His mental health couldn’t have been normal.

If you work and also have to write professional exams under the Nigerian medical system it truly takes a toll on you. Hazard allowance is not for exposure to diseases alone. Suboptimal mental health is hazardous both for the patient and the doctor.

RIP to him,most medical doctors have one mental health issues or another,most of them are depressed and psychotic.I can never marry a doctor,nothing about their life attracts me.

Maybe the ones you have met... All the ones I know are happily married, living happy and fulfilled lives.

Mental illness and suicide abound across all professions and personalities. No need for stereotypes.

. I think I know where you are coming from. When I met my babe I didn't know she is a doc. Honestly, if I did I will have to drag my feet. The bond we shared kept our relationship going. One time I visit her workplace, I have to cut her some slack. Government need to take care of them.

He has been using cadavers or dead bodies for his practicals. It is time now for his own cadaver to be used in anatomy laboratory by young medical students. Foolish man like him. Even if he didn’t pass the exam hasn’t he passed the degree exam

20 years ago, our way (of life) was different from the white men's. Recently, we abandoned our own way (of life) owing to the feeling of inferiority complex and we started following white men's way (of life), and that's how we started arriving at the same destination with them (suicide at the end of the road).
The sad truth is that we only copy white men's bad behaviours, cultures, attitudes, lifestyles etc. That's y we're not progressing in Africa.
The only solution is for us to accept our individualities, cultures, traditions, norms, value etc. We'll only find peace in being who we truly are, not by pretending to be who we're not.




Peace!

What killed him was the rigorous and sometimes unnecessary exams he couldn't pass to move to the next level of his chosen discipline. He could have been a brilliant doctor practically, but understanding oyinbo imposed language to pass exams theoretically could have been his obstacle; #teacher don't teach me nonsense.

Depression is a blurred or hard to attain perspective. Changing that perspective could give the so-called depressed something to look forward. We all have problems in life but our determination to solve our problems should be eternal.

Not a question of being lazy. It's more than that. What one can never be, one wouldn't be, no matter one's effort. I had a high school mate, in fact two of them super brilliant kids. Both were very competitive and ended up as medical students at Unilag. Sadly one passed away just like that, not accident or anything crazy. The other became a successful medical doctor. That's life journey for you.

Female medical doctors are more composed and scanner than their male counterpart, I really don't like medical doctors as a partner

Western culture had thoroughly penetrated Nigeria long before 20 years ago...

Also suicide has been a problem in many cultures, including our own. The advent of the internet, and the thing called the news blog means that a lot more cases get reported

And 20 years ago, there were suicides, and suicide attempts. I recall reading about a gentleman who committed suicide by entering the lion enclosure in a Nigerian zoo...as far back as 1990.

There are exceptional cases. But I think the gentleman u mentioned was a pastor trying to prove his powers. He willingly entered lion's den and was torn into pieces.
How much do we know about western culture b4 the proliferation of social media platforms?
20 years back, many of us don't even have phones, we pay vendors to call or receive calls.

Thank God you said most not all. Medical doctors are still the best person around. When you are sick, you visit the hospital. But why can't you marry a doctor? Wetin dey do you?
