Obi411: It is people like you that deliberately leave knives inside their patients' belly.

KingTom: After calling me a fool, remember that those so-called bullets you claim to be facing will still be treated by me. I will not stoop to your level by insulting you, you spent 4 years in NDA, did I force you to go there is it not you who used your own biro to write the exams Please stop insulting Doctors. I have no further words for you

silentdon: You don't understand his last question because you haven't been to a proper medical sch/uni. If you have, it'll be crystal clear.

prettyprettywow: Go and rest jare. all the medical and health sciences students pay the same school fees in Govt owned universities. Haba!! don't start spreading lies. let there be relativity in university tuition!!!!

sisiafrika: why is it hard for u to realize schl differ from schl? Wat is obtained in uni A isn't same with uni B. In OAU, u could still be withdrawn in final year. Its rare but it happens

phantom: tales by moonlight!!

agabaI23: Yea, he lost a year but he didn't fail out.

Fernandez01: You're so fucking stupid its unbelievable. First of all the Chief medical director of luth is prof akin oshibogun . And secondly federal workers are not just fired anyhow ( the most alluring aspect of federal jobs is job security ) so before you start spreading falsehood , get your facts straight

bigass: In other news, The CMD of LUTH Mrs Cassey Agreh, A consultant Nurse, has fired all the Gynecologist in LUTH for insubordination and incompetence owing to refusal of the gynecologists to reply the query she issued them 2 weeks ago. Medical news headlines in few years time

Make all nurses consultants and CMDs We will love it.

agabaI23: And you are always there during the faculty board meetings when they are finally passed?

MayflowerB: Childish

prettyprettywow: Drs go to school wnd pay same fee with others,.

phantom: .......MY brother that's what I ve been seeing o....lol

davno: There's no part of d human body known as [b][/b]uretha

sisiafrika: In OAU all departments under college of health sciences write d same MB in the 200level. To the poster above me. D med surg do only d anat,physio nd bch, while others do doz 3 plus their own departmental courses. No preferential treatment. And to those talking about JAMB sorces, u knw nothing about admission. JAMB cut off mark are set based on d number of students required. U don't expect D cut off mark of two courses with different number of applicants be d same. We all knw medicine. Attract d highest number of applicants, hence, common sense should tell u dat d cuut off mark would be higher dan Courses with much lesser applicants. And tell me, haven't u seen d best or d brightest been withdrawn? And d not so bright finishing with no issues? It points to one tin- dilligence and commitment. Intelligence will get u into medical schl but diligence will get you through it.

prettyprettywow: when we achieve privatization, then drs will have to pay for their residency training like they do abroad and not expect to be paid to be students, Then we will see how they will demand for #100,000 hazard allowance from their employer

agabaI23: That's not entirely true sir. They still manage to send some people through on compassionate ground.

agabaI23: 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.

tohpahz: pharmacists dispense doesn't mean they cant prescribe.. their original job description before Nigerian bullshit altered it, is to prescribe.. please do tell me the difference between dispensing nd prescribing... 2. please tell me?/if a pharmacist normal work is to dispense nd dey studied drugs. y dd dey study drugs? to sit down nd b giving drugs... haba!!!

in an orderly system, the doctor examines with d nurse. draws findings sends patient for lab tests nd xrays.. sends symptoms nd lab test to d pharmacist who reviews it. nd. mks a prescription. which d nurse administer

tohpahz: giving drug is not our primary responsibility. nd let me correct u.. the doctor doesn't prescribe. the pharmacist does. nd den we administer.. but it's not our primary responsibility...

Smooyis: Good write up. Nonetheless i think there is need for collaboration among all the health workers. The doctors must show enough humility and understanding to realize that they cannot do it alone. It is a team work. And everyone is very important in that team. God bless Nigeria.

klodike: Stop thinking....

suavelara: Guy! the truly rich people go abroad for their treatments and I said I speak from EXPERIENCE, so please 'shuh'

double0seven: 14. Furthermore, for purposes of specialization
after NYSC, the MLS takes additional minimum of
seven years of full-time studies to obtain
professional fellowship, M.Sc and Ph.D before
being appointed as a Consultant (Specialist) MLS
by health institution Boards. On the other hand, a
doctor training to become a consultant
pathologist (Specialist) undertakes only four years
of part- time training to obtain his professional
fellowship diploma since he has to concurrently
study, perform routine and on call clinical duties,
engage often in private practice and National
Association of Resident Doctors (NARD)
activism- equivalent of two years of full time
training. A simple comparative analysis of years
of cognate knowledge training of basic MLS and
Pathologist is at a ratio of 6:2.33 years while that
of Consultant MLS and Pathologist is at a ratio of
13:2.33 years in favour of medical laboratory
scientists. Given that the generally accepted
indices of epistemic professional authority are
years of cognate knowledge and training, it goes
without saying that the MLS is the appropriate
core professional in charge of Medical Laboratory
Services at all levels. This is recognized by the
approved scheme of service and by the law, a
fact ASSOPON's extravagant outpouring of
negative emotions cannot obliterate. It is left for
the public to then
judge who the dog is and who the tail is in
medical laboratory services delivery.

moshoodn: Truth is most doctors in Nigeria are not committed.

Most are in for the money.

What the hell happened to the Hippocrates Oath!

Only Nigerian Doctors strike in the world (quote me on this anywhere). Does that mean all other governments of the world are performing optimally in the Health Sector?

I'm not standing in for the FG, but if truly the docs respect the oath they took, they will be more diplomatic and tactical.

FGs all around the world are all evasive, so its not a Nigerian issue.

Coming to air to lay the issue to bare will only attact public sympathy to the more eloquent side.

I wish they resolve it soonest and people can get their treatments.

double0seven: I get it now; you guys want a different set of rules for Naija.


it doesn't matter what's happening in other countries, your own is that it must happen here for Naija.

As much as I try to see your points which is vituperated through so many fine grammar and eloquent writing, I can't get past the fact that your struggle is about self centeredness.

You wish to establish a caste system in Nigeria health sector which is not obtained in advances countries. Reminds of the caste system of white vs black before the whole thing crashed.

Dress it with embroidery however you like, the truth is your mission is self-serving, stop pretending you're doing because of any patients.

Cabinbiscuit: All those kain letters we dey write that time... "the sugar in my tea, the stone in my catapult that will kill the Goliath of my life"

Mehn, guys bleeped up in those days.

sandijey: Well I was made to understand that the best hands are usually in public owned hospitals. Except maybe reddington and the likes. I also know that they refer some patients to luth. I have never viewed people who go to public hospitals as poor. I always felt they needed the best hands. But luth is not so poor as people think. The hospital bills are quite expensive for a public institution. Meanwhile based on what I saw, I still feel the younger generation of doctors are incompetent. I still have doctor friends in luth who smoke weed and keep punk hair. I just don't no how they combine it.

sandijey: Do you also realise that luth is one of the best if not the best government owned hospita[/b]l. They have very good hands. When you talk of trained and experienced doctors. You get them in luth. They refer a lot of people from private hospitals and other hospitals round Nigeria to luth. Luth will only refer u outside Nigeria. Or the case of when my mum was sick and the so called ct scan was bad. That is when they tell u to go to another place to do a scan and bring the result back to luth. It is wrong to refer patients to another hospital in luth. My friends dad almost got sacked. [b]Most times its a deliberate effort that most of their machines that get spoilt don't get fixed on time.

2, I met some rich people in the ward. At least when u see someone that is well to do, u will no. It is not always about the money but about professionalism. And luth comes tops in that aspect. Just that it is either u stay in the private wing or u are an ex staff before u get a proper medical care and attention. That was what saved my mum.
