bushdoc9919: Here is the problem you have.

You are angry with all doctors because they are on strike...and because you know you cannot do without them.So,you lash out and ask them to return to their work.

The thing is,most of you people do not think about the conditions that your average health care worker works under. We lack a lot of facilities, we have bad light and water supply ,and we work long hours. And there are too few of us....right now there are 40,000 doctors for 160million people.(That is why most Nigerians never see a doc....there are too few of us.).

Now, the reason why there are few doctors is due to the fact that 1.)Because of poor funding for the university system....we do not have enough lecturers...and enough places to train lots of new student doctors.2).We have such bad and limited facilities that many of us have gone out of the country because we are tired of seeing patients die in our presence because we lacked X or could not make the diagnosis on time because of Y....or we don't have drug Z.

Solving those problems are part of the reason why the residents are on strike. Now...a little info....the NARD...that is the resident doctors union....have been on strike for longer than NMA. And a big part of the reason why they are on strike is for improved training facilities, and improved funding for residency....because a big part ofour residency is the clinical research they do....and both require money.

But you don't see that...all you see arrogant doctors. And you see the fact that you lost a friend in the hospital....and you think it was our negligence that did it.True...some of us are negligent....and some are arrogant. But most of the time...patients suffer in our hospita lbecause....thanks to lackoffunding....we do not have the means to help them.(And it makes me feel sad....when we have lost the stroke case because we did not have a CT scan to find out on time that she had a hemorrhagic stroke).

In my opinion,NMA and JOHESU ,as I have said several times on here....should join hands and fight for better funding for the health care sector...because what docs go through....nurses, pharmacists et al go through. Right now...we are in an egocentric fight over titles. But that does not mean we are also not fighting for better facilities....especially through the medium of NARD.

I hope you see the problem. Or maybe you don't want to...because solving it means either increasing funding for health care OR raising fees for services....so that government can pay for new facilities. It also means doing the same for university education. Regardless of what you think....we docs(including me, who has worked in rural care for most of my working life) want to serve you better. But we can't continue to do that under policies that generate acrimony between members of the health care team....as well as awful facilities.

But of course you do not have to agree with me.

Still....our health care system is in crisis.And it isn't the staff's fault.

EHoudini: [code][/code]Y are they protesting (blackmailing)? They hate d work they were employed to do. Now, d hammer came down n they cry as victims whereas they were the protagonist that set d tune. Heartless, greedy blood suckers. These guys are worse than boko haram. Time is come, nigeria via gej must take a stand. Enough. I wish n pray gej will have enof courage to c this true. When hunger bite their ass they shall wake to reality.

drnoel: Do u think GEJ will wake up one day and sack doctors without chukwu suggesting that's the best line of action. Oh I forgot, u are not in the profession and can't know what's happening so I suggest u keep ur opinions to yasef.

kobikwelu: And you expect us to take you seriously.....smh

dat9jaguy: I just reread your post.Sorry for jumping into conclusion but i just responded emotionally.Meanwhile i agree that Amouri and co are
doing the Urohbo nation more harm than good.

olanje: R.I.P my formal military governor and probably d best gov we've ever had in d state... Ur gud works lives on AZiZa

ZACHIE: SANI SHEHU:

The death has been reported of General Patrick Aziza retired,

the officer who headed the Abacha special military tribunal which sentenced me and late Dr Beko Kuti and other journalists, to life imprison for treason

and which also sentenced late Shehu Musa yar'adua and others to death in 1995

.He was said to have died of Cancer;Even though he presided over our torture in underground military cells,humiliation,prolonged pain and incarceration on false charges,
I have forgiven him;May His Lord also forgive him.My condolences to his family.I appeal to my former prison mates to also forgive him,while conscious of the fact that it's not easy for many of you to agree with me.

oyeludef: its a shame on d part of our security outfits. a small country like chad could rescue 85 but for weeks our own big belied soldiers were denying d abduction o chibok girls. am watin to hear wat asari dokubo has to say on dis

parklamson: when, I won't blame u, because u r just a WASTED SPERM

parklamson: Poor representation what do u expect from a drunker called GEJ. He's drunk

HarrveySpecter: Little wonder Nigeria is in the state it is. The way Nigerians celebrate mediocre, is just unbelievable. What happens to being professional and using professional terms?
We all know what Obama must have thought of Osama, but we don't see obama calling him names in public? Putin get America/obama for mind, but he doesn't call them/him names in public.
Besides the man is deceased, he deserves a little bit of respect.

NgeneUkwenu: jonathan go and sit down! Don't come infect our Working governor with cluelessness! Nonesense! Go and continue working with, Omisore and Fayose, we don't need you in State Of Osun ebola!

duni04: Ah!!! Are thes people for real! Jesus christ! Those Chibok girls are still missing, Boko haram is still in control of Gworza, $20 billion is still unaccounted for and someone posts a comment like this! Ah!

atlwireles: Politics without bitterness.

360command: The last concluded ECOWAS summit,Jonathan dashed 3million dollars to the affected nations (not too sure of d figure). Why can't he raise funds and pay pharmaceutical company to find a cure though I know this may not be easy. Just saying.

Iffffffy: At ipetu ijesa right now as the assistant presiding officer, we just finished with the accreditation, everywhere is peaceful so far even though hunger dey wire us official cuz INEC refuse to give us food since they camped us yesternight.

NewNigeriaMind: Do you live in Osun-NO

Are you a stakeholder in Osun-NO

How then do you know whats good for the Osun people.

God will punish all enemies of progress in south west.

tayoamos: OBJ said : if I were to be Omisore, I would have allowed Aregbe to complete his 8 years. Aregbe has really transformed Osun"

felifeli: God will judge you by your words. How many members of our family were illiterate before your tin god rescued them ? How much does he pay you to tell these lies. Believe me you can't buy your way out of hell.,; but it will be too late for you to find out.

customized13: I laughed when they said salt could kill ebola virus in vivo nigerians are so dumbb. Smh

hardbody: The grammar you are castigating is irreprehensible and impeccable.

Look up all the words used and you will understand. Do not be fast in picking out errors, the joke might be on you.

Acidosis was right, you displayed flagrant ignorance.

Airforce1: All Join

jieta: people foolish ooooo eh

Airforce1: Association of past criminals (APC) at work

yomanovic: I hate when people make unfounded statements about one party and talking as if the other party is made of only the holy spirit. What is my country becoming for God's sake? When Obasanjo claimed to make an election 'a do-or-die affair, where were people like you?

jideomowunmi: Aw can i...?wen my mind is always on nairaland....

lastpage: I dont like the "antics" of this Raufu Aregbesola, ...of recent!
He is the type that will cause religious fanaticism in Osun state.
"Buyers-Beware O"!

But wait o, is it the same Iyiola Omisore that we know?
I mean the one that won a Senatorial Seat right from INSIDE Prison detention?
The same one that removed the Cap of our erudite Bola Ige?
The same one that was arrested for having a hand in the murder of Bola Ige?
He is the same person you people want to make your Governor in osun state?

Really, l just wonder what the problem of Nigerians are!
Is it Amnesia, short memory, Greed, foolishness, grandiose ignorance, or a combination of ALL of these?

If this man is your best short at Governorship, then N.Y.S.C (Now Your Suffering Continues)...for all of you o!

Okay, they said he has distributed "One Muudu" of rice for each household in Osun state!
Awon ala'tenuje (Men of the belly).
