Lilimax: Abegi, in October resumption date I stand

Guykhena: Before this week run out I think I could get it....

Btw you notice anything strange with your mention notification,, cus mine I don't seem to get any pop up..

Guykhena: Edge of Tomorrow.....!!! .

Theodarl: The title was originally for those with high level of intellect. The physicians hijacked the title because of the respect that comes with it. In time past, they were the all in all of medicine. They were the only ones who practiced all aspect of medicine as it were in those days. Now in modern medicine, it is no more so. Other health proffesionals now practice medicine in their own fields n therefore deserve to be addressed with that title just like d physicians. If a physician can b addressed with that title, other health workers with a bachelor's degree should also b addressed with that title because they all practise medicine in different fields where they r trained. Stop acting like u don't know what is attacted to that title n y d physicians cling to the title so badly they prefer it to their own names. U said phd patients with d title don't bother u. Y would it bother u? When u know u r not half as learned as he is. U think your 5 years of craming basic pathology n other medical related courses has put u on the same intellectual level as the PhD patient? My friend think again

Theodarl: This is the dumbest analysis I hv ever seen on naira land. You don't even kno the difference btw the word 'Doctor' and 'Medical Doctor'. If u did, u won't post that dumb argument.

YourHealthlabs: Let's forget about why the OP wants the title 'doctor' and take his assertions at face value. You really can't confirm and prove it. He might even be a Physician or PhD himself, who knows.

Politics aside, the last definition implies that if i call anyone who is Skilled practitioner a 'doctor', i can't be wrong, so why i should i be corrected?. It's simple logic. He doesn't really have to add it as a prefix to his nomenclature, you can't sue him.

Let us remember that it is even borrowed by the Physicians as the latin word 'docere' means 'to teach', not 'to treat'. From your assertion, can we also imply that physicians wanted respect so they decided to use the title or allowed people to call them 'doctor'. If this is so, aren't you guilty of what you accuse him of?

Theodarl: First of all what do u mean by op?
I will ask u a question. Why do u always quickly tell ppl ur r Dr medicine. Y don't u just say u r medicine?
There is nothing wrong if u want a title for reputation sake especially when u deserve it. Physicians frown when they hear a person call another health worker Dr. because they feel the health worker is impersonating a medical doctorr or infringing into a title bigger than them. This is very wrong.

YourHealthlabs: Let stop banking on the illiteracy of our people to remain important and relevant. We should even enlighten them on these things.

Theodarl: Assumptions r dangerous. I have not mentioned johesu today. Anyway, I like ur use of the term medical doctors. There is a difference btw medical doctor (proffesion) n doctor(title). Nobody is claiming nor sharing ur proffesion (medical doctor) wit u. What we r saying is that the title (doctor) is not solely for mbbs holders alone in dis era of modern medicine where medicine has been diversified across many other proffesions.

Theodarl: If u don't know what medicine is I will show u.http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/info/medicine/
Open n study

Theodarl: . A nurse that has graduated from the university n registered with the nursing council is licensed to practice nursing. In otherwords licensed to practise medicine in the field of nursing. Therefore should be addressed with the title Dr

Theodarl: The title Dr. Is well respected and very popular. The professional nomenclature for the medical doctors is physician. Every other health professional also has a professional nomenclature. Point is they can also b called Dr because they r also licensed to practise medicine.

To unrderstand what modern medicine is, pls open the link in the article above.

Theodarl: Good question. The simple answer is this; because they r also licensed to practice medicine in their respective fields of medicine. Doctor is a title given to persons licenced to practise medicine.. If u read the above article carefully u would agree with the notion

Theodarl: Do MBBS holders study as far as PhD level before they earn the title?

newguy1: After seeing 4 episode, im kind of disapointed in d review of d op, d show is ok n just like all d series of recent dey want to prolong n build momentum for d serie,"beating around d bush" . I cant see dis serie competing with walkin dead or true blood.finally im rating dis serie a 6 because i really dont see dem lasting more dan 2 season.

Isiterere: Good 1.

Ahmed0336: na carter v dey there him no wan hear say e leak.

McStoic: I have observed many of our so called docs here......I hereby give my award. dradebayo is the most cultured among them, though he seems to have a thing against 12 year olds. Phantom aka Phanty bobo seems to be a guy who grew up among market woman, he latter mixed with guys but try as he may, the frequent Freudian slips get the better of him......though I like him for one thing, he seems able to come to reason once in a rare while. Sainty2k3 is simply a tag along. He is that student who sits at the back of the class among bigger boys just to feel important. Say a simple thing and he will start asking derailing questions even when others have moved on to another topic. Dumodust is self explanatory, a mixture of dumbtiness and muscles, he walks around with a knuckle duster.........He will make a good bouncer to Phantom since ass licking is his exclusive preserve nay natural talent. Likita is trying to imitate what others are doing, he needs a sense of belonging just like Dumodust. Armadeo is a learner etc...... Pardon if I wasn't gracious enough to recognize you. Maybe next time.

Are you a comedian or what?

chimoz: I was paid 180 during my junior residency. However, at the end of the month, , what gets to me is 170. Don't know what happens to my 10k.

Elythron16zero4: yes he knows because we took some courses together and i did better than him in all. Even in our days in the secondary school i was always ahead of him in class position. what more prove do you need?





The tone of this post is different from the message. this your opinion and you are entitle to it.


I don't need any more " prove"

However in my opinion medicine isn't for those who are smart its about endurance.



By the way anyone can read medicine but not everyone can.



cheers

MrsAwesome: Grief and anger has a way of being quelled with tender therapeutic communication.
He is venting and doctors are at the receiving end due to their strike....so don't expect him not to be up in arms here against doctors.
So I suggest you sheath your sword.
