coogar:

of course not!
she was blind - ladies are generally blind when they are drawing the first blood. they simply do not see that the person they are hitting is more physically-built than their petit self.

Don't mind them...

I still don't get the argument here. while I don't support violence by anyone,suffice it to say that the lady got exactly what she deserved. For all those blaming the man,can I ask a simple question? Was the lady fully aware that the man was physically stronger before she attacked him? If yes,why then will she assume that his response will carry the same force as hers.

Let's look at a scenerio. A person attacks me with a knife when he's fully aware that I have a gun. I shoot him in self-defense. Will that be a crime? Will I be guilty of lack of self-control?

Before we attack anybody let's assume that the person will fight back. That way,we'll be more careful.

It's good to see this here. I was of the opinion that my decoder was going bad. I hope DSTV sorts this out as soon as possible. It's quite frustrating...

I refuse to discuss wenger's sorry state of mind any further. The man has totally lost it. I wonder where arsenal will be at the end of the season... Tragic...

My brother me sef tire for this wenger matter oo. Of all the players, na welbeck wenger see to buy. Chai! My morale just low. The way chelsea and liverpool dey catch fire enh, if those guys catch arsenal, we go share grace.

I was seriously hoping wenger would follow through with the falcao deal but alas,that was wasn't the case. Rather I watched helplessly as welbeck walked through the door.

Chai,Wenger no only fall my hand, but him drag my hand for mud....

passion007: Conversations
(Three hours of intense arguments later)

Patient: Oh I see, you do have a certain inalienable claim to the title Dr
Pharmacist: Phew! I'm glad you now understand.
Patient: A quick question though. Did you take courses in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology?
Pharmacist: Oh yes indeed. I most certainly did.
Patient: Pharmacology and Pathology?
Pharmacist: Pharmacology, yes. Pathology ermmmm
Patient: Obstetrics? Gynecology? Pediatrics? Public Health?
Pharmacist: Ermmmmm
Patient: Medicine? Surgery?
Pharmacist (infuriated): I get your point smarty-pants.
Patient: How can you get my point when I haven't made it. In the strictest sense, the title Dr is open to any expert--even you. However, in the hospital there is already one who bears the title. So, your claim will be defined in relation to the real doctor as a benchmark. Considering you've taken 4 of 10 courses as him, I suppose we could call you two-fifth of a Dr

Pharmacist: What the hell is 2/5 of a Dr?
Patient: Exactly! What the hell is it? And who comes to the hospital requesting to see 2/5 of a Dr when he can be seen by all 5/5 of a Dr. So, sir, you see your argument has no leg to stand on.


Whether with an illiterate Nigerian patient or an educated one, those desperate for the title Dr have no argument. Except of course they agree to be addressed as 2/5Dr Abc Xyz.

Epic...

phantom: make we even drop this title 'doctor' abeg and take up mister. the wahala don dey too much

My brother the wahala too much abeg.

@OP, kindly add the title to your name if it makes you feel less inferior. Enjoy.....

The strike has been suspended. Let's just pray that the FG will respect the agreement it entered with NMA...

So work begins on monday eh? Very well. I hope most of the demands have been reasonably met. I also hope that NMA has a plan to make sure that the government upholds its own end of the agreement. I don't want to hear another NMA strike in the near future please.

JUHESU, hmmmm... What can I say? Please stop scheming against the doctors. Let's all live in peace and harmony. Wait oo, hope you guys are not planning to proceed on strike next week oo.

juwoonn:
Just when we taught we had quenched the fire, you decided to add some diesel.
That is what happen everywhere, not only in naija. Patients look for docs, bcs they have health challenges. Its normal. Just as docs goes to the bank only because of transactions. What other strings do you want patients to attach?

I may agree with you when you say there are no strings attached but would you say that when you are looking for a favor? Still on your "no strings attached" principle, nobody owes you anything. If you understand that, then you should know that it's hypocrisy insulting the person whom you claim there are no strings attached because he failed to address your concern. You guys should learn to be appreciative whether you have your way or not.

adahib17@gmail.com

Thanks bro

juwoonn: Honestly, this docs are heartless...
Nobody to answer my question?
So u guys can't sacrifice 2 minutes for a depressed soul, all u could do is to strike for months over selfish interests.
Now I understand why u have to be handled with iron hand by FG.


Can u imagine, all d docs on NL...

Typical nigerian. Just because no doctor responded immediately, you resorted to insults. Is this the type of people the nigerian doctor is striving to protect? I really do pity the nigerian doctor. His patient only looks for him when he (the patient) has a problem but doesn't care if he (the doctor) is human with human problems. Very tragic indeed.

Henrypraise: Now des ar d kind of pple dat deserve national awards, not politicians.

Lemme use dis medium to also challenge all dos hungry men/ murderers parading demsefs as medical doctors, embarkin on strikes, to take example from dis Dr, life isn't always abt money n dats were Nigerians have scores it wrong, everybody is fightin for dia pocket/ money, no body is even fighting for glory talkless of fighting for humanity.

D fed govt shud tap into dis tragedy n encourage nigerians to be patriotic.

Tank u.

So all the "murderers" should line up and be killed so that you'll be happy right? Now that she is dead, I'm waiting to see what you'll do for her family.

I don't know why I'm not troubled by the government decision to sack residents. I guess it's because we all know it's just the usual scare tactics employed by the government so as to have it's way but it won't work. The strike will continue until all the demands are met. I wonder what the government will do next. Sack the consultants and the medical officers? C' mon, even a half-sane person knows this is just a fool's errand.

sarutobie: sony experia Z2 is the all-in-one smartphone..it has it all . from 3gig ram to full HD, to water and dust resistant hardware . It will give you the best of 'ALL worlds'

.
Thanks man... I just how it's durable

Guys?

Both phones are of good quality in terms of build and specs. I wish I could have both but that's near impossible. I'm confused on which to buy. I don't know if anybody in the house has a hands-on experience with either or both. Please I need your advice.thanks

So the strike continues eh? I was preparing to go to work but now?

Still thinking deeply about going to volunteer...hmmmm

5-Pica:
The word “pica” is derived from the Latin name for the magpie, which is known for collecting and eating odd items. Humans with pica eat an astonishing variety of non-food substances, including:

Dirt
Rocks
Feces
Ice or frost
Paper
Glass
Mucous
Hair
As befits such a diverse list, pica isn’t caused by any single thing. The term is a blanket diagnosis for bizarre eating habits that aren’t linked to a culturally sanctioned practice such as women in west Africa eating soft stones, during pregnancy.

Pica is common among children and pregnant women, although at least one study suggests that as much as 65 percent of the population has had at least one bout with it. Sometimes it’s caused by an identifiable mineral deficiency, as with many dirt eaters who are cured with an iron supplement. Other times, as with coprophagy—the eating of feces—pica is a secondary diagnosis for mental illness.

The threat that pica poses to your health depends largely on what’s being eaten. Children often eat paint chips that are contaminated with lead, for example, and the health risks of eating feces probably go without saying. Treatment usually involves ruling out mineral deficiencies and other physical causes, at which point you’re officially crazy.

6-Foreign Accent Syndrome:(Nigerian celebrities are mainly the patients)
Okay, this one is just weird.

Picture yourself surviving a car accident with minor injuries. Maybe you banged your head against something when your Porsche flipped over one of the police cruisers that was chasing you after a botched diamond heist—whatever. When you wake up in the hospital to find one good cop offering you a cup of water and another, edgier cop who’s got nothing to lose demanding you come clean about your associates, you open your mouth to ask for a lawyer. What comes out sounds like your voice, but for some reason you seem to be mocking the police with a hilarious—and picture-perfect—foreign accent. And you can’t stop doing it, no matter how many times Bad Cop hits you with a phone book.

Foreign accent syndrome strikes unpredictably among people who’ve recently suffered brain injuries as a result of trauma or stroke. It can also come on suddenly after a bout of epileptic seizures. Nobody knows what, exactly, makes a person switch accents, and there’s no treatment of any kind.

People who develop this bizarre, semi-comic disorder have trouble expressing themselves, making and keeping friends, and not getting punched in the face for “pretending” to have caricatured racist accents


So, yeah. Interesting diseases can sometimes be real jerks, and you should probably get those headaches checked out.

3-Jumping Frenchmen of Maine:
Jumping Frenchmen syndrome was discovered among French-Canadian lumberjacks in Maine and Quebec in the 1870s, and it’s hardly been observed elsewhere, leading researchers to believe it’s probably inherited.

Most with the syndrome don’t experience any symptoms. That is, of course, until you sneak up behind the person who has it and shout something crazy like: “HIT YOUR WIFE!” Instantly, the sufferer’s arm shoots out and knocks his no doubt long-suffering wife to the floor. This is a totally involuntary reaction, as if Obi-Wan Kenobi was following these people around doing the Jedi mind trick on them all the time to lower their resistance to shouted commands.

The disorder is also characterized by an extreme startle reflex that involves jumping, hitting, or shouting. Less commonly, victims of the disorder have the incredibly irritating habit of repeating back the last thing that was said to them. Try that yourself and see how many friends it wins you.

George Miller Beard, the researcher who first described the syndrome in 1878, speculated about what could be causing the condition. About the best he came up with is that the mens’ extreme, exaggerated responses were “culturally conditioned,” which is a scientist’s way of saying “eh, they’re French. Whattya do?”

4- Parry-Romberg Syndrome:
Humans find symmetry attractive. In studies, people from every culture in the world routinely rate more symmetrical faces as more beautiful than faces with even a slight asymmetry. The reason is probably that the ability to look the same on both sides of your face signals that you’re in good health and can resist the damage caused by illness and aging.

Parry-Romberg syndrome wrecks all of that by selectively attacking one side of your face until its tissues have atrophied and withered up, leaving your face lopsided. It mostly strikes females between the ages of five and fifteen, because afflicting the half of humanity that isn’t usually judged by its looks wouldn’t be horrible enough, and scientists think it might be caused by an autoimmune disorder.

Adding to the agony of having one side of your face deflate while you’re still too young to understand why the world hates you, Parry-Romberg syndrome is often accompanied by severe pain from the forehead through the cheek and jaw. In one out of three cases, the condition worsens to the point that the sufferer can no longer open or close her jaw.

As is par for the course with humanity’s more interesting diseases, treatment options are limited and it isn’t really possible to stop the progress of the disorder, though reconstructive surgery is sometimes done after the disease has run its course. The good news is that Parry-Romberg isn’t fatal, so sufferers can expect to carry their unsightly deformity through life for a solid sixty or seventy years. Silver lining!

1-Progressive Multifocal Leukoncephalopath:
Imagine you’re recovering from a heart transplant. You might feel as if you’ve been given a new lease on life. Sure, you have to take drugs that suppress your immune system so your body won’t reject the donor heart, but hey—beats the alternative, right?

Shortly after the procedure, however, you start to develop weird symptoms that you’ve never had before. You’re getting forgetful and clumsy, with lots of headaches and loss of vision. One day, you wake up and are totally unable to speak, though you can see the words you want to say just fine in your head. Welcome to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or PML because no way is that getting typed out again.
PML is one of those oh-so interesting diseases that specializes in kicking you when you’re down. It’s caused by the JC virus (so named after the initials of its first identified victim), which lies dormant in the body until something comes along to compromise the immune system. Organ transplants, AIDS, and even just good old-fashioned stress can all suppress immunity and give the JC virus its chance to shine.

JC “shines” by eroding the protective coating of the nerves in your brain and causing progressive deterioration that manifests as weakness in the arms and legs, memory loss, aphasia, and—wait for it—death. Here’s the fun part: according to the National Institutes of Health, “By age 10, most people have been infected with this virus.” [Emphasis added to better convey the horror.]

2-Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome:
We’ve all been there: your kid is up all night throwing up, and you know you aren’t making it to work in the morning. Sometime around hour four of your child’s extremely noisy and painful vomiting, however, you start to wonder if maybe you should talk to your pediatrician about this. By hour six, you’re in the emergency room to treat the child’s severe dehydration. The doctor treating your child guesses that it’s probably either a stomach bug or a case of food poisoning and, since everything seems okay now, you’re free to go.

Two weeks later, it happens again. And then again a month after that, followed by another bout three weeks later. This goes on for years.

“Cyclic vomiting syndrome” sounds official and science-y, but look closely at that name; it means, basically, “throws up every so often.” It just describes what’s happening without any clue to the reason why. It’s thought that CVS is linked somehow to migraines, as sufferers often have both and CVS sometimes responds to migraine medication, but mostly the official diagnosis consists of “dunno. Magic?”

Having no obvious cause might be enough to get CVS on the list of interesting diseases all by itself, but what’s really weird about the ailment is its regularity. Vomiting episodes tend to happen, not necessarily in response to certain foods or medications as with allergies, but at around the same time of day, as if the child was allergic to afternoons. Nobody knows why CVS strikes, how long it will last, or why it seems to clear up on its own over a period of months, years, or decades. We’re going with magic.

otokx:

It is alleged that doctors went away with the patients folder in UPTH so the nurses and others could not administer care.

My colleague who had just been operated by doctors had to be discharged home. When next you doctors are going on strike do well and leave the folders - it is also public property.

Alleged ko, alligator ni. Anybody with half a brain knows that's a silly lie. No doctor will do that. Think of another accusation jor, that one doesn't hold water.

Good development. If the government does the needful, then the strike will surely be suspended in no distant future. But we should be ready for another strike, this time by juhetsu. I'm sure they are already preparing. What the FG should have done would have been to meet both parties together,with both sides comprising to some extent to accommodate the other. That way, I'm sure another strike would have been averted.

Oh well, we'll see how it goes....

Yes,i agree that all religious bodies should be taxed given the amount of money they make. Everywhere you look, you see one acclaimed man of god living like a king. The sad thing is how they brainwash all their members not to even ask what all the money they've been collecting is used for.

Don't even get me started on the pilgrimage sponsorship. On what basis does a country sponsor a group of individuals on a personal fanfare with tax payers money? That's the height of misappropriation of public funds. It should be stopped.

warrior01: Hate doctors? The fact is those people in Nigeria that parade themselves as Doctors, don't know what it really means to be a mreal doctor. No ethics, no compassion and no proffessionalism. All we have is a bunch of greedy people that is full of unnecessary pride. If you doubt me, why do our people rush to India for proper treatment?

It's the hate exhibited by people like you that discourages the few of us still trying hard to do the right thing. Since the beginning of this strike, I've been going to work everyday to attend to the very sick. I run the hiv/aids clinic in my establishment and I can't in good conscience allow those people stay without their drugs and other treatment. On monday,i had to take care of a patient with hiv/tb co-infection alone. He was coughing up a storm, stooling and vomiting. I told the nurses to get an I.v fluid running, they didn't refuse but the way they were foot-dragging, had to leave an accident patient to go do it myself. Obviously, they didn't want to get infected. Now tell me, if I contract hiv or tb during this period, would it be worth it.
Now let me tell you the funny part, after making the patient comfortable,i walked past the nursing station towards the consulting room, guess what they were gossiping? They don't know why this doctor won't stay in his house instead of coming to admit all these bad cases. I looked at them, said nothing, left. When I got to the consulting room, some of the patients waiting were grumbling that they don't know what was taking me so long. That they have been waiting since. I should come attend to them so they can go.
At that point, I couldn't take it anymore. I picked my things and left. Since my personal effort was viewed at with disdain,i decided not to bother anymore. I've been at home since. Only going once in a while to see the patients I admitted. I discharged the hiv/tb patient yesterday after getting a strong commitment from him that he'll take his drugs everyday. I'm not going to work again until after the strike. I can't keep trying to satisfy a bunch of ungrateful people while exposing myself to risk at every turn.

Ishilove:
Lol. I can, but it will not add a kobo to my bank account, so I won't.

Thank you for sparing me a few bruises ma'am.....

Ishilove:
Na so. You jus dey blow di tin, dey confuse manpikin.

Hahaha. I sure say if you mean am, you fit wound me with grammar.....

okparaugo: You said you are not born again, so why are you bothered about lieing ?

Try and be born again. Okay ?

That's the problem with most individuals. They tend to confuse religion with morality. The fact that I'm not your conventional born-again does not in anyway mean that I'm morally bankrupt. That I have so sense of right and wrong. It may surprise you to know that I'm more morally upright than a substantial number of your born-agains. I do what I perceive to be right because I think it's the right thing to do and not because I expect any form of reward or because I'll get punished if I don't.

Ishilove:
You sef your grama is too much

My madam no be so oo...hehehehe

texbaba1: my humble advice for you is that you could say No, you are not a born again christian...but that one of the reasons you wanna marry their daugther is that so she will be able to help you build your spiritual life. Remember, love also involve sacrifice and compromise, unless u dont rily love her as deeply as u claim. this is because at some point, i believe God will touch ur heart through her prayers and you may eventually become a devout christian. so dont loose someone you truely Love now cos of that, as u think of the future negatively, also think of it positively.

My good sir, this is the most plausible case scenario I've considered for a while now and baring an epiphany, will be my retort if faced with the question. I mean, I'm an agnostic and not an atheist after all.
