Legendforte:Well, thank God, no one is God. In US, Clinicians consult Specialist Medical Laboratory Scientist on area they are not clear about but here in Nigeria, I know it all wants to kill the physicians. Thank God, there are still few clinicians in Nigeria who have not allowed ego to take over then, where I served some years ago, the doctor do consult me on some certain areas he is not clear with, same way he consult with the pharmacist when he is writing prescription. |

MLS is a multi disciplinary profession, it's comprises so many specialists ranging from clinical chemistry/chemical pathology, Medical microbiology, virology, parasitology, haematology, blood transfusion science, histopathology etc . It's a faculty status. |

Unigrad:lol u feel too insecure. I didnt say no testing. My point is that ur technical relevance will dimnish in the nearest future. Testing could ae done then right in gp surgeries, bedsides, ICU, et al by clinicians. The pathologist will have the prime role. |
Re: How Can A Biochemistry Graduate Become A MLS Professional? by Unigrad: 2:14pm On Dec 27, 2021 |
Legendforte:Even in US and other developed countries, MLS are still relevant. Keep on depending on POC, very soon, Medicolegal cases will start to catch some of you. |

Unigrad:No be only 70%. Things your lecturers tell u guys sha just to encourage you. With Good medical history and detailed examination you 90% sure of the diagnosis..lab is just for confirmation. And that's why the clinicians reject your results if its to in line with his clinical suspicion .. What is the relevance of a medlab scientists in the diagnosis of CVD(stroke), Migraine, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, osteomylitis, most psychiatric disorders, volvulus, imperforate anus, omphalocele, gastroschisis,......infact almost all surgical diagnosis.. Most small to medium private hospitals don't even employ medlab scientists, not when technicians can do pretty fine.. 1 Like |

The medical Laboratory results doesn't agree with the clinicians suspicion, you discard the results? Is that the right thing to do? Is it not to refer the patient to another Medical Laboratory to see if there is discripancy in the results? Stop washing your dirty linen in the public. |

[quote author=Unigrad post=108854423][/quote] By discarded, I meant either its sent back to the lab or sent to another lab. It has to tally with the clinicians clinical suspicion. How can u give me a pcv results of 14% in a patient with a cyonotic heart condition(TOF)with obvious conjuctiva plethora..or a result showing SS of a child whose parents are AA and SS ..these are some practical lab results we see often and you expect a clinician not to discard it cos its coming from a medlab scientist.? Of course lab scientist are not completely irrelevant but you should know ur position in the health sector. At OP, i will advise u opt for either Pharmacy, medicine, nursing or physiotherapy ..medlab won't be worth it in the nearest future 1 Like |

Au79:You know this your last statement can never happen. You guys have made alot of attempts to put MLS under your control but you guys have not succeed and God will not allow you to succeed. Alot of MLS in Nigeria are passing ASCPi certification exam in US and they are practicing in US as Medical Laboratory Scientist or Clinical Laboratory Scientist. In UK, alot of MLS are there because they have being certified by HCPC. No exam is required because they know MLS standard in Nigeria is high. Op, do your investigations before picking anyone. Don't allow one person to deceive you. Follow your passion. 1 Like 1 Share |

Au79:lol your hatred for MLS is just in plain sight here so you have a CVA patient and all you do is send for CT Scan, you won't request Baseline investigations? No FBC, Eucr, FSLP at least?. How do you rule out other suspected co-morbidities. Even your surgical diagnosis, anaethesist will not approve patient for the surgery without confirming the test results are okay. Medlab scientist are not your enemy, you can decide to employ a cleaner to run your own Hospital if you like but patients that know what they want will only patronize standard hospital with fully equipped laboratory manned by qualified scientists. Why don't Eko Hospital and the likes employ only technicians since they have highly skilled consultants and you don't need the scientists?. Thank God a lot of Nigerians both Doctors, nurses, scientists are migrating to UK and US. Go there and tell them you don't need to request for investigations for your diagnosis 1 Like |
Re: How Can A Biochemistry Graduate Become A MLS Professional? by subzeroth: 5:21pm On Dec 27, 2021 |
Scholar212:Pls speak no more before you embarrass yourself. Those investigation are routine baseline investigations as you rightly stated and not to ESTABLISH diagnosis.. Your colleague said "70% of DIGNOSIS requires the input of a medical lab scientists" the investigations u mentioned aint relevant in establishing diagnosis as far as those diseases Au79 stated 1 Like |
Re: How Can A Biochemistry Graduate Become A MLS Professional? by Au79(m): 5:41pm On Dec 27, 2021 |
Scholar212:Those are ancillary investigations as far as those diseases I mentioned are concerned Mr lab scientist and not to establish the diagnosis. How many Eko hospitals are there in Nigeria..More than 90% of hospitals in Nigeria are small and medium scaled. What's so difficult in carrying out eucr, fbc FBS, HbSag, mp, crossmatching, etc that a technician can't do. And these common investigations constitute the bulk of investigations required to successfully run a hospital.. Even eko hospital, how many lab scientist are there? Y'all keep referring to UK and US as standrad not knowing your technical irrelevance is even more pronounced there. Pathologist are demi-gods over there Egbon your write up reeks of inferiority complex, always quick to think everybody hates your profession when we are just stating obvious facts |

You guys should keep on rubbishing the Medical professions. Doctor trained axillary nurses in their hospitals, since they are not given the chance to do it to Medical Laboratory profession, MLS became their enemy. We will all leave this country for you guys. |

Au79:LOL, you don't need a men lab scientist, but you need a med lab technician , funny, even as a non medical professional, it's funny. I can remember sometime ago when my sister wanted to go for degree nursing, an aunt kept saying that she should go for diploma, that hospitals don't employ degree nursing again, that after she's done with her Diploma in nursing, she will obviously get a job immediately. And someone else was saying degree nursing are taken more than medical doctors sef, that an hospital can take 3 or 4 medical doctors, but take 20 degree nurses. All in all, everyone will be fine, you can force your view on people, the norm will always persist. Both degree nurses, diploma and auxiliary nurses are needed. Med lab scientist and med lab technician are needed, you need their license to open a lab in most european, including Nigeria. Medical Doctors are also important, and nurses and med lab scientist need them. The fight is an human thing, God created us with such heart, trying to console ourselves, trying to make ourselves look superior over others, trying to make other successfull people feel sad by telling them they worth nothing, 1 Like |

And for the fact that you CLAIMED med lab scientist doesn't know general protocol of DNA and RNA and principal of polymerase chain reaction doesn't mean they weren't taught, and doesn't mean all med lab scientist have forgotten, my brother is a med lab scientist, I just asked him this question, and he did answer me well. You are free to be surprised, because you feel they should know better, just like someone being surprised that a doctor couldnt remember the cure of glaucoma.

Saibits:Not really. No one hates the allied-health science but the characters of the professionals. Mls just like physioth is important in the health sector but they should learn to incorporate other scientists. Anyway, I am a medical student not bch graduate. Try to understand the post you quoted and research about the abbreviated tittles in-depth. Thanks. |
