MizMyColi: Ehen, Kinky, truth is, we all face subtle pressures at least from our parents/guardians especially when we're ripe. I do not fault your original post and I sense your maturity.

However, I'd like you to establish this as a deep seated revelation - that you're everything that is good and lovely. That no man nor marriage is capable of defining you for you're an infinite limitless being.

Your identity emanates from Him who is good and who is perfect and because He is, You are. (Hope this doesn't sound gibberish grin)

Well, that said, I just wanna add that You Shall Not Want Your Mate. True, it can be frustrating attimes, the pressures and disappointments. But, I speak from experience - No One Puts Their Trust Wholly on God and is Ever Put To Shame.


P.S: I know my posts sounds christianese....but then its applicable to anyone who believes there is a God out and up there.

There she goes again. Hmmm! Deep response!

The crippling student loans that burden many medical students may dissuade them from becoming family practitioners or pediatricians. Instead, foreseeing that they will owe about $140,000 at graduation, they might opt to pursue more lucrative specialties like cardiology or urology.

With a base pay offer of $189,000 a year, on average, family practitioners, pediatricians, and psychiatrists are offered the lowest pay of all physicians, according to the medical search and consulting firm Merritt Hawkins & Associates’ 2012 Review of Physician Recruiting Incentives.

That might seem like serious money, but it pales in comparison an orthopedic surgeon’s $519,000 paycheck. Cardiologists make an awful lot, too. They are guaranteed an average base salary of $512,000, according to the Merritt Hawkins data. The third highest-paying specialty: Urology. These specialists earn an average of $461,000, not including production bonuses or benefits.

The Science Behind Graduating A Class With Majority Women Engineers

Why are specialists offered so much more than primary care physicians? One reason is they simply bring in more revenue per doctor.

The Forbes E-book: Find And Keep Your Dream Job
The Definitive Careers Guide From Forbes encompasses every aspect of the job hunt from interview to promotion. Written by some of Forbes’ best careers and leadership writers, it is available now for download.
“Primary care may monopolize the headlines, but, by in large, specialists still monopolize physician compensation,” says Travis Singleton, senior vice president of Merritt Hawkins. “Specialists still far out produced their primary care counter parts in terms of guarantees offered by an average of over $150,000.”

That’s probably because in medicine today, more value is placed on procedures than on diagnosis and preventive care—but Singleton says, “we’re making progress.”

For example, a primary care physician who spends 45 minutes consulting with a diabetic may be paid less than an orthopedic surgeon who spends ten minutes repairing a knee. “Even with recent efforts to pay primary care physicians more, cardiologists and other specialists still are able to generate considerably more revenue than family physicians and other primary care doctors, and hence are paid more,” Singleton says. “I think people will suggest that it costs more to develop a specialist to justify higher salaries, and to an extent that’s correct. However, the primary driver remains the revenue capacity and reimbursement.”

The disparity in pay has contributed to a declining interest in primary care and has created a shortage of these doctors. In the 1990s, many medical school graduates were drawn to primary care residencies, enhancing supply, but today many are avoiding the field.

“The truth is that medical students have long been deterred from going into primary care not only for economic reasons but for reasons connected to professional prestige,” Singleton says. “Many primary care physicians have told us that during medical school they were counseled by their professors to go into a medical specialty rather than into primary care, because the ‘best students’ specialize,” he adds. But things are starting to look up for primary care physicians this year.

Their compensation guarantees, for the first year in several, increased significantly in this past survey. In fact, since 2007, family practitioner salary offers have increased over 10%, or approximately $17,000. In that time period, pediatrics was the single biggest winner of the primary care specialties with an almost 20% gain.

“One of the most overlooked reasons for this sudden boom in primary care offers is the rise of employment,” he says. “With more hospitals employing primary care physicians, we are seeing a greater ability to pay larger guaranteed salaries that better reflect the demanding market.” He says it’s expected that this trend will carry on as employment percentages continue to increase—thus reducing the shortage of primary care doctors.

Glen Stream, MD, MBI, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), says it’s already happening. Stream says that after two consecutive years of increased medical student interest in family medicine, the AAFP has seen the number of graduates entering these residencies plateau in 2012.

“The provisions of the Affordable Care Act that place added value on primary care are a good beginning, but we can’t lose momentum,” Stream says. “We need to double down on programs that generate student interest. Now is the time to reform the medical education infrastructure, tear down the barriers to students who want to become primary care physicians, and establish a practice environment that ensures that young primary care physicians can build successful practices that serve the needs of their communities.”.........

Singleton concludes, “Though we’ve made strides, we have a ways to go. Politicians may urge medical students that primary care is the route to pursue, but the money still suggests otherwise.”
Bulk of the money come from the top three special areas which those that paid there way into medical school will never be able get into. If they venture into it, they will be producing cadaver every now and then.

Bear in mind, the level of litigations in these countries is one of the reasons why their salaries are very high.

an excerpt:
The worst findings in the article is that when it comes to comparising the salaries to other non-medical salaries, it turns out that several countries, such as Hungary, and the Czech Republic are paying a lot less for their doctors than for other workers . (the most for doctors is around 1000 EURO in Hungary, and the avarage workors salary is around 1300 EURO)

That's not entirely true sir. They still manage to send some people through on compassionate ground.
HealthRe: Nma Strike, The Nurses' Perspective. by agabaI23(m): 2:04pm On Jul 12, 2014
The funny thing is that most of the medical students/doctors who are championing this debate here are those who paid money to get admitted in different forms. If there are 10 doctors/medical students here talking, especially those who are talking about sitting for JAMB, 8 of them didn't go through merit list. The doctors among them are likely those who spent extra years. The finest of doctors and students want you to experience them.

anonimi: There are two things to realise about OUR roads:

- The federal government is responsible for (most likely) less than 25% of the roads in OUR country. They are usually for Inter-State roads while FEEDER roads i.e. those ones directly in front of people's houses, shops, businesses, offices, clinics, hospitals, schools etc are the CONSTITUTIONAL responsibility of the state governors and LGA chairmen.
- Even the federal roads (usually called highways) need to be built in COORDINATION with the states and LGAs to ensure that the drainages and flood water evacuation paths are NOT BLOCKED by buildings, shops etc.

So we should be ADEQUATELY aware of the SEPARATE but interdependent roles of the THREE TIERS of government for our roads otherwise the state and LGA politicians will CONTINUE taking us for MUGUS by pointing to the presidency while they do NOTHING with their monthly allocation from Abuja except STEAL.
We have a total of 193,200 km of road network in Nigeria.

34, 123 km are designated federal roads
30, 500 km are designated State roads
129,577 km are designated LG roads

MizMyColi: True, El, @ narcissistic people being successful[Or so they think]

However, imo, being successful isn't just about reaching and/or surpassing my goals, no, it's beyond that. Its about helping people get to where I've gotten to and see them surpass me even!
For me, the greatest joy would be that I contributed in no small measure to who and where they are. I can only call myself successful when I Lead Leaders..

One of the pivotal characteristic of being a good leader is the uncanny ability to be a Follower, a good one at that. That's one thing missing in the DNA of those who practice narcissism.
