Inflate the cost of medical studies and watch this guys become humbled.

You can’t study cheaply and expect a ginormous pay. The guys abroad are indebted in medical-study loans.

Establish a system where they have to pay up their study debt by rendering active service for a number of years before they can be cleared to go practice elsewhere, and watch them sit up.

The best way to spot a fool is by their way of reasoning.

TarOrfeeek:
My current GF is from a single mother home.

Immediately I finished reading this topic. I will break up with her mentally.

If you want to end your relationship, do it objectively.

Don't hide behind my babe is from a single mother.

Will you advise your sister to break up with a reasonable

potential suitor that is well to do because he was raised

by a single mum?

Pecoleee345:
No.....she had miscarriage twice
It was two year into marriage I got to know she had an abortion while in school.

She has a weak womb according to test results.

I wonder what kind of test shows or proofs a woman could have weak womb.

If you mentioned cervix incompetence, that will be reasonable, and which any woman could suffer even with no body count.

My point: be objective about your challenges, and don't blame anyone for a medical condition that might not be their fault.

well done sir,please can you help me check the history of this Toyota Corolla 2t1br32e56c709268.
thanks so much.

What a shame!!!
The so call JOHESU that are coveting consultancy have no clue on how to treat patients in doctors absence but have gone to challenge NMA strike in court. Only nitwit wouldn't know better at this instance

Shame on everyone here abusing doctors that will ever consult a doctor for illness or anything.
To you all, Nigerian doctors don't know a thing and are proud.
From this moment on always consult johesu and traditionalist but if you do otherwise, a big shame on you all.

Many here deem it fit to abuse the doctors and take side.
I pray you don't fall sick and need surgery this period.
Then you will know the value of doctors

Once specialty training has been completed, doctors are able to apply to consultant posts. This can be a very competitive process, particularly in certain specialties. Consultants accept ultimate responsibility for the care of patients referred to them, so it is a position of considerable responsibility. A physician typically works in a hospital, and their central duty is to carry out the investigations and procedures necessary to establish a diagnosis, and then to give advice and provide treatment where appropriate. Treatments may vary from courses of a single drug, to highly complex regimes. The RCP’s publication, Consultant physicians working with patients: the duties, responsibilities and practice of physicians in medicine, states that:‘The unique skill of the consultant physician is the ability to diagnose and make clinical decisions in difficult, complex and uncertain circumstances.’The work of the consultant goes beyond this core function. Another key aspect of the role is being involved in – and often leading – multidisciplinary teams which deliver joined-up care. This involves being able to take a comprehensive view of the care pathway, and managing other team members (nurses, anaesthetists, physiotherapists, pharmacists etc) accordingly. Consultants are also expected to be involved in the teaching and training of students and junior doctors, and to contribute to their specialty field through research and leadership.As part of the coalition government’s health reforms, consultant physicians will also play a role in the commissioning of local health services for patients.

FREEDOM

It is pathetic how many Nigerians reason.
The big questions are;
what has the government done on IPPS since ultimatum given by NARD.
Are Nigerians aware that some Doctors have not been paid for months while some had theirs slashed.
Does government yield to any other thing besides strike action.
Is there any country in the world where residents are not paid.
It aches my heart that it is the poor populace that will bear the brunt of this strike action but a sensitive government would have averted this because it is only a healthy nation that can be productive.

Django unchained.
The D is silent.

it is shameful that a daylight robber like Alams got state pardon while people are in jail for stealing pepper.

Blackcrackberry on the path to state of oblivion.
Android Os is my choice anyday.

parents have 50% while kids have 50% also to contribute to kids future.
most often than not, good kids with good parents make the best out of life though there are exceptions.
By and large the two parties are responsible.
Thank God for my mother.

Am proud to be a medic & any day i will choose to be one.
though the profession is faced with so many challenges in Nigeria but it is still lucrative.
nothing can be compared to ability to help others get well & give them hope.

This guy is a disgrace to the noble profession .
what % of nigerians earned up to 90k back in 2004.
besides he was caught last xmas but didnt stop d buisness so he should face d penalties of his crime.

CATASTROPHIC!!!
corruption in its highest order,incessant bombing,association with thieves among others due to his cluelessness & lack of courage.
jona,i pray you wisdom & courage next year.

my best nigerian artiste.
she is in class of her own.

total bullshit

a buffon,nitwit,daft,fatmaggot.

No rightminded govt negotiates with terrorist let alone allowing the sect to nominate the moderators.
if GEJ gives in to this,it will serve as impetus for other sect to terrorise the nation with the hope of round table discussion eventually.
negotiating with BH will only worsen the situation on ground.

only time will tell but i envisage a situation where ferdinard will not shake hands with the foolish terry

Edwin clark needs electroencephalogram check up because i am sure there is pathology in his cerebrum to have been a proponent of such course.

when will this nation be free from these swindlers.
its pathetic.
