Too bad, mine was one of such complications. In fact, I have the opinion of the surgeon and he is testifying . I go bury the doctor ehn. In fact, I wld send him into financial extinction

I'm sure you complained of funds when he mentioned surgery ,then he gave you a medical option .
I said it because most if not all doctors would rather do surgery for appendicitis than offer drugs. Surgery is a better money spinner.

If you don't bring proof of suing, you are wrong.

DavidEsq:
Dats how a doctor gave me tablets that it wld cure my appendicitis. Omo the next tin I know, na serious operation dem do me o! My appendix burst, 500mg of pus was spilling inside me. My life just maga finish. I don sue the stupid doctor. I'm claiming millions against him and the hospital.

Omo ale jati jati doctors. Wen e reach to strike, una go cari fes. Common typhoid wey roadside aboki go cure with agbo, u canor treat.
If e parents like, make dem no sue. Dey form "God has taken"

Sue if you can, and also bring us proof, dindirin. You'll get nothing.
Antibiotics are the first line treatment for appendicitis.
Surgery is done for complicated cases only

They're called reduvid bugs and they cause south American trypanosomiasis.

It's not an African thingy, so it's not news OP

I suggest and propose that the nairaland football derailers answer all useless threads.
Rubbish

ashjay001:
Urs, is d faux! The poster just confirmed ur position; that d British govt, doesn't own assets or fund up to 20%, doesn't take away their ownership!

You don't read. Please keep reading to educate yourselves on government control in the UK.

Jakumo:
HOWEVER, if that footage was taken in Nigeria, Davido should expect a visit from the police in response to the posting of this video, regardless of whether the M4 carbine in the above video is functional or disabled.

David is a US citizen na.he knows he cannot try this in Nigeria.

I think you get my point...you can easily replace the Oxford with University of Capetown or University of California - Berkeley

You're even bonkers than I thought.
Ebonyi federal university is a public university, and they have the right to rename. Why in hell' s would the PM try to rename Oxford? You nor sabi correlate things?

Ooh Lord ,where is the facepalm meme

HigherEd:
Its just like the Prime Minister of UK trying to rename Oxford university. She go enter serious trouble

Faux intellectualism .How will a government official even think of renaming a university which is more private than public?

For Oxford university , The british government does not own the university assets, university staff are not considered to be civil servants, and as of 2014, roughly 85% of the Universities’ income comes from “private” sources (student fees, endowments and investment portfolios and so on and so forth)..

HigherEd:
Just say you don't understand the methodology before making a shame of yourself. But lemme break it down simple for you. Webometrics is a ranking which uses four bibliometric tools(presence, impact, openness and excellence) first created by Lee Bernard to assess universities on the web by virtue of their academic contents. It rates the global relevance of research output according to how universities all over the world uses them.
If the words in methodology are hard for you to understand go and read the objectives of the Webometric ranking on their site.

You are the ignoraums my friend. The link is there to clear your knowledgelessness.

Faux intellectualism is your problem . You claim to know much but know little. Not all journals are ranked because some aren't open source.

Funny enough, the most sought after journals in medical prectice aren't filtered.

HigherEd:
Lol what are you saying... I won't even bother arguing.

Ignoramus

I'm a blogger (blue collar job) but being paid more than civil servants and others (white collar jobs). You can join me in blogging, it won't cost you anything to setup your own blog, highest 2k

Blogging isn't classified as either white or blue collar, bush man

mansakhalifa:
Utter higgledy-piggledy. That is why I take these so-called "rankings" with a pinch salt. A school gets shut down for a whole year and yet you rank it as the best state govt. funded university in Nigeria?! Way to go webometric. Pray,tell what would you then rank this same institution if it were,say in the nearest future,get shut down for a whole decade? I am guessing they would stand at number one in the rankings above all else. What were the webometrics guys drinking? Cheap vodka,I guess.

HigherEd:
You people know little about the ranking. It assessed the school's academic activity between 2011-2015. The strike in Lautech of recent would only affect Lautech rankings in two years.

Webometrics ranks online presence and nothing else.
It is not a ranking of quality of education.

Universities with online portals and online payment systems have higher ranking

Kalashnikov102:
Only in naija doctor's wee be fearing to GIVE A TRY

You don't give a try when you know you're not specialised to handle such cases. It is unethical .If it is in the western countries, you'll get sued.


Nigerian health budget is about 4% compared to the US which is 28%.. una never see something .instead of you guys to blame the government you're blaming doctors.

Tolumiide:
they should have referred they to where she can be better attended to, and even offered ambulance to conveyed her. just to do something for humanity sake. pls understand me this is someone's mother, wife and loved you.
point of information, I am not stupid, I am a concerned Nigerian. And the next victims maybe someone that you can not just imagine their pains but their experience.

I apologise for my choice of words.
I know the standard protocol for referral . Unfortunately ,some persons will never understand why we refer. Most, think doctors refer in in order to dodge work or if they cannot see money from errant or poor parents.
The mind of an average Nigerian is rotten, sir

Tolumiide:
does doctors have the right to reject patience in critical conditions?
Environment and health care services are part of the determinants of health.
She would have survived it if accepted or referred.
RIP.
Sad news its only the life of the elites that matters and they get treated abroad.
Nigerian life matters. I think the Lagos state Government should take this case up, investigate it and do something about it. the doctors need to know that life matters, the confidence of lagosian need to be restored. we have beautiful city, we need good health care services. this is sad and better imagined.

Yes they have the right to reject especially if hospitals don't have the basics such as oxygen. I cannot admit you as an emergency and be looking at your face. Stop blaming doctors and blame the government

GIDIBANKZ:

Here comes the stupid comment I was expecting..

Jman06:
I think it smacks of insecurity for a medical doctor to be bothered about what other medical professionals use or choose to address themselves as.
The stethoscope is just a physiological instrument, and most students of health-related desciplines take courses in human physiology and are exposed to the use of the stethoscopes and other physiological instruments. Even physiology graduate can use a steth provided he knows what it is used for and how it works. That the nigerian medical doctors chose to use the stethoscope as a badge is solely their problem.
Also, the "Dr" title is not an exclusive preserve of nigerian physicians! Anybody can be a doctor in his field so long as he/she meets the academic requirement.
I'm actually ashamed of some of these guys who are getting all worked up about who uses a steth or who bears the "Dr" title, it shows the level of insecurity of the average nigerian medical doctor, and to me, it exposes how lazy some of them are because the medical profession is large enough for any serious person to carve himself a niche and not go about lamenting what other people do within the legal confines of their professions.

Nowadays, most person who flaunt the stethoscope ,does that to get recognition which comes with being a medical doctor. In other words most who flaunt the stethoscope, does it with the intent of being referred to as a medical doctor.

Making matters worse, the average joe in Nigeria does not know the difference between a medical doctor amd a pharmacist or a nurse ... if you carry a stethoscope, you must be a medical doctor in their eyes and therein lies the charade in masquerading as a doctor.

That is why a patient coming to a pharmacist shop will present the complain and instead of the pharmacist to refer to a doctor, he/she starts treating and functioning as a quack doctor.


There have always been doctor of medicine, doctor of optometry, doctor of pharmacy etc. The problem only arose when the average gullible Nigerian thought all "doctor na doctor".

If you want to be a doctor that treats, kindly goto a medical school .

Are stupid people like you still existent?

If you are being monitored and so?

Why is nobody talking about the voters registration which is ending this month?

IamaNigerianGuy:
This is not very true. Many universities have a tough time getting their students credentials accepted abroad with the exception of Federal universities.

Did you read me well?in medicine all you have to do is qualification exams which you can take if your school is accredited .

CaptainJeffry:
Unilag is more recognized in the international community. That's if you have future plan to practice in the West later.

In Medicine, ones recognition does not come from the school you attended but the exams you can pass and what you can do.

Infact, nobody asks where you trained. This is unlike other courses.

SeunGabs:
Both are OK, But I prefer a foreign university where you get to be exposed to first class education and practise. That is an hotcake for potential jobs. Who else agrees?

For medicine, where you study doesnt matter if you cannot perform optimally. Infact, if the degree is from Russia, Ukraine is those east European nations, it is next to thrash as concerning medicine.

winterfell007:
Isn't Niger part of ECOWAS?? Free movement of goods and services might apply to them too.

I don't know if you're simply stupid or sarcastic. Anybody ecowas member visiting nigeria must have an ecowas passport. Lack if it is what makes them illegal immigrants

Ashley86400:

williams969:
have had an experience with a lady that her temper is the combination of samson, levi and simieon all together, this lady is built to kill and i mean it, and am the gentle type of guy i cant even hurt a fly, but this lady, when i just said "come on dear you are too hot tempered, 2 thunderous slaps landed on my sweet check followed by i should never ever call her hot tempered again, and thats just a tip of the ice berg even when i told her am not interested anymore, she will lock the room and start cursing and if i dont respond she starts throwing and destroying things even her phone, she smashes on the floor and says am not leaving her room until i say am not breaking up again, when i see that she can kill me told her i am not breaking up again, and was shaking and she came aand said she was sorry that y would i even want to break up, i said its was the devil, omo na fear oo, you guys wanna know how i survived Just tell me i will create a thread for you all to read

I'd love to know how you ended

Alphasoar:
How does having dual passport make him not to be qualified for the position.


Check foreign politics, you'll find many Nigerians there. Even in the House of reps for America and House of commons for Britain.


Something that doesn't need debate is what you guys will always bring up.


Make Nigeria Great Again!!!

Do you know what the NIA does?

Jozprecious:
How about those employed as honorary consultant and lecturer as well? Depending on level

You want to know salaries of doctors who do their work in clinics,emergency and operating in theatre as well as lecturing medical students plus administrative duties and you think you'll have the answer on Nairaland?

This is old news..

Only with domiciliary accounts can one make unrestricted withdrawals abroad..Most naira visa and MasterCard's have been restricted since l 2016

Everybody knows this is an issue of political failure, yet some hateful lots will soon blame doctors for being greedy. Just watch

Why do these guys keep insulting our collective intelligence?

What's $1Billion for ?
