Morotov1: The doctors that work those hours you quoted are mostly house officers and junior registrars.
The specialist doctors or consultants have days they work and not those ridiculous hours you mentioned, many clients/ patients will attest to these. You can't compare your hours as a trainee with that of a full staff that does an entirely different thing.
The number of nurses for a hospital is incredulously high to commensurate with the amount of work they do, and even has to be divided into shift duties to ensure the wards are covered and to prevent burn out.
If you feel you are overworked, kindly meet your HOD to assign you shift duty and stop whining on how others organized their work.


And...............If you want money join Ngige and Elumelu and Okowa in politics....they are your kith in medicine.

Always talking trash

Sunnybobo3: You are the clueless one. NMA does not regulate what you listed above. The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) regulates them.

Don't be a £ool . A simple google search will go a long way in educating your ignorant mind

aluunoble: Thanks for ur advice but u might not do less in u were in ma shoe. Remember, not all doctors are surgeons! There is no justification of a more than 1000 per cent increase in hazard allowance. If we should base the justification of the bloated demand for an increase of Harzard Allowance from the current #5000 to a sky-rocketed #100,000, please further tell the public how a Doc gets to know that a patient is resistant to TB...maybe when a TB patient goes to the Lab for a follow-up test or for a doc to know the progression of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis after the patient has been comfirmed TB +Ve he/she by way of 'voluntary action' refuses to cough. Mind u broh, there is no Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) in Nig in this 21st century that is of Level 3 in any Public Health facility. Yes! I speak with facts! Hence, the Lab Scientist is predisposed to nosocomia infection posed by TB and the like. How do u know a TB patient is drug-resistant if such a patient had not being placed on a therapy? May be a Pharmacist never dispensed drugs and the in-patient was never attended to by a Nurse. Pls let the public be informed of the percentage of surgeons in Nig amidst the doctors. Unfortunately, greed has eaten deep into the fabrics and further beclouded the sense of objective reasoning of NMA. I reserve my comment on the embezzlement saga as I dnt know who to blame for the abysmal performance of EFCC and ICPC because if there had been equal to the task, corruption would have been defaced in Nig Dictionary! All I pray for is sanity in every sector of our national life! Imagine if Nigeria was USA!

First of all , mls deal with human secretion/waste products and contagions present within those secretion are less likely to have any harmful effect on an mls than a doctor who is always in direct contact with the patients from which those secretion are collected. Its very preposterous to compare the risk to which a doctor is exposed to , to that which an mls is exposed ( I need not list them anyone who has ever been to a hospital will know ). Secondly doctors are not responsible for the rot in the healthcare sector , blame the inept government ( how do you expect underfunded institutions setup decades ago to render worldclass services ; this is a dynamic world if you don't upgrade with time you'll become obsolete). An mls , a pharm has no basis whatsoever to aspire to be a C MD as he/she has no knowledge of patient care ( I need not reiterate the dominant importance of a doctor in the healthcare sector as the ongoing strike has proven that beyond every reasonable doubt ,therefore it stands to reason that a doctor by virtue of his training is the most qualified to head the clinical team ) ; nurses , physiotherapists etc are not fit for the post either as their knowledge of patient care is not as allrounded as that of a doctor . Finally I must state that the demands of NMA are in order contrary to the falsehood johesu members are peddling , every claim by NMA is justifiable . There is an urgent need to define every healthworkers role as contained in the national health bill . I will respond to any sound debate regarding any point I've raised here

mintyx: Piece of crap from a biased mind! Who lied to Doctors that they are at the heart or the most importantant in patient care? When they keep spewing all these lies, you'd actually think some of them really care about thier patients.

Again why would ur lame brains think that its only you folks that understand or know medicine wholly?

When a Lab scientist does a PCV for instance and issue out a result, do you guys for a second think that he doesnt know factors that can cause a raised, low or normal PCV?

When a pharmacist manufactures a drug and tells u skank head how many dosage you'd use to effect a cure, u term him a support staff huh?

God is watching you all and he has heard the cries of His oppressed children in which you guys have been trying to annihiliate all ds while.

But get this into your heads, the post of minster of health and other heads are purely administrative roles and should be opend to all so you should get afraid cos very soon, you would start getting directives from the so called "support staff".. lmfao

You're such a deluded halfwit . You don't know shit about medicine

The author of this post is not a doctor

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.

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

Egotism at its peak . Imagine butterflies pretending to be birds. Well am not surprised even lucifer after getting full of himself sought to be like God , hence the rebellion

prettyprettywow: You guys should stop using Dora's case to score cheap publicity. Which kind rubbish be this. You diagnosed her, and the cancer waited for Ten good years to come out. The cancer just respected itself for ten years? Imagine comparing yourselves to US doctors. What made you think that even after you remove the tumor that it won't come back and that she hasn't been visiting other hospitals?Mtcheeeewww

My dear, if you knew the pathogenesis of cancer you'll reconsider your stance

Morotov1: The usual ego-driven rants.
Tired of reading the same rants over and over again because they always contain same thing:
we are smarter than you
have more knowledge and degree than you
know about medicine than you.
Just watch out for nurses like this guy that are made of hot tar and bitumen.
Refute his claims but not resorting to calling the post spreading of falsehoods as usual without any meaningful facts laden rebuttals.

If from the bottom of your heart you believe that you have more knowledge of medicine and degrees than a doctor then I recommend a thorough brain evaluation for you . If you had even the most rudimentary knowledge of healthcare delivery and at least an almost average IQ you'll see through the deceit in the post . If the paramedics are as knowledgeable as they claim , then why is it that the so called 'knowledgeable support staff of yours ' can't fill in the shoes of the striking doctors. capisce

@op the only thing cogent about your write-up is the grammar in which it was expressed . Apart from that it is full of known facts distorted to establish your biased stance . The gullible may read your post and fall for your subtle deception , but a discerning mind will always see the falsehood embedded in your write-up.
No where in the world is a doctor's training at par with that of a nurse. So the fact that your were breast-fed with a little pathology does not mean your understanding of the pathologic basis of diseases is as indepth as that of doctor. Though you claim you were tutored with the same notes,I can bet you that the exams were not the same. Besides the standards used to examine medical students is not the same as that used to examine a nurse. In my days one mark is subtracted for every question you fail (that's negative marking for you) .
The falsehood expressed in your post is certainly laced with the same stupidity you are complaining about. This post of yours is obviously tailored to delude the less informed masses. The error in diagnosis you mentioned above is a result of our failed healthcare system characterized by inadequate equipments and not necessarily due to a doctor's incompetence ,even in the US with all their glory and splendor in medicine patients still die due to misdiagnosis ( review Dora akunyili's case of cancer starting from the onset )
And please winning a debate and scoring higher that 'some' medical students does not make you special , the medical school as a whole regardless of your field of study (medicine , physiotherapy etc ) is a pool of brilliant minds however your training is different from that of a doctor so don't expect the same responsibilities . Besides a student's grade is influenced by many factors so those people you think your first year result surpassed theirs may be more brilliant than you many times over ( personally I always score excellent grades but I don't consider myself better than those who at one point or the other score less because the university is full of many factors that can distract a student )
Just for the records that academic achievement you think you have that makes you assume that you have arrived is no big deal , postgraduate degrees (phd ,msc etc) are very common among doctors infact most doctors go ahead to obtain international fellowships (fwas ,frcs , frcp etc) so stop getting high on your relative under-achievement

Christians these days are so superficial and ignorant . Its very preposterous to say that christmas is idolatrous because it date coincides with a date associated with a pagan god . As a christian you ought to celebrate the essence of the day and not the date , afterall sunday is a day devoted to a sun god but christians use it as a day of worship . So saying christians should not celebrate christmas is just as st.upid as saying christians should stop going to church on sunday

sluggers: Go and die! You deserved to be euthanized with the dogs.

No time mehn! Am done talking to you

The write up is superficial although some of the facts are true . Christians celebrate the essence of christmas and not the day of the year in which it was celebrated . Besides the holy spirit instructed paul not to call anything God created unclean , likewise do not regard any day that God created unclean just because it coincides with a date associated with a mythological god . Afterall many dates of the year coincide with festivals associated with mythological gods but will it stop us from going about out activities (religious , social , academic etc) to the glory of God ? Of course No ?
My point is that any day set aside for the worship of God ( regardless of whatever pagan associations it may have ) has been consecrated by him . So focus more on the essence of the act of worship than on whatever old coincidence associated with the date " for old things and passed away " . Remain blessed

madam_oringo: This iweala is a useless woman! Imagine even saying she wants to make her case before the "Nigerian People"? Except such people are mega phools benefiting from the rot of the useless economy you run with the retardeen, they need to split your fat head open with an axe as soon as you open that obscenely fat mouth of yours! What did the committee do wrong when they excused her after she said she was not feeling fine? It is again that mindset of entitlement being the "Minister of the federal republic" that you expect a committee to break protocol and reverse itself 1 minute after making a decision and striking the gavel. Useless woman, feeding fat on the money of the country with the retardeen! Na thunder go fire all of una from retardeen to all the corrupt monsters in the national assembly sef! Yes including you fuc.king NLander who supports Iweala because she is from your tribe! Onlytruth and co., i.e. thunder fire you to blazes!

Nairaland would have been a better place if only your parents had euthanised you (considering how s£upid you sound) . At least we would have had one fool less to suffer

Idoma Likita: Other Nigerians Hate Igbos because they are better

South Africans Hate Igbos because they are better

Indians Hate Igbos because they are better

Malaysians hate Igbos because they are better

The Whole World Hates Igbos because they are better

God must Surely Hate Igbos because they know better than him!

Haba my people, which kind ethnic paranoia be this?

Olodo rakpata . Suegbe mtchEeeeeeew . Go and reconfigure your brain assuming you have one

sluggers: Rubbish! Cry me a river.....

The Minister came telling them she was sick and they gave her the option to come back in two week's time. She turned around trying to make her case after she had been excused. What type of minister is that?

Ibos are always portraying themselves as victims. This is very sad to be dealing with people who cry like piglets each time they put them where they belong.

The Honorable members haven't done anything wrong. The minister was just trying to play the victim card as usual.

You are a s£upid motherf*cker

ceo4eva: The name "Mama Peace" delves into a problematical approtuzoa which may not be articulated due to economicated vouldavitation,
propertuated baberically through out the geographical atomicable panderison. In Summary, Madam Jonathan should accoutuate an outrageous theologicolism to be punctuated intermittently and holistically.
Abeg, no ask me the meaning of wetin I write here, cos I don't even know.

Trash

doctokwus: Dat is d aspect I still don't get;dat dese govt officials trully bliv all nigerians outside of govt are imbeciles,incapable of independent reasoning?
Besides,unless d so called estimated cost is meant 4 abuja alone,I don't see how N100b wud b enough to fund such project dat entails building what is essentially a microcity, around all airports in nigeria.Another thing dat seems like a conduit pipe in nigeria is dis new nigerian version of public private sector initiative.Once I hear dat concept,fraud alarm bells start ringing in my ear,because most often in nig,its d govt dat eventually foots d bill of those projects while d so called private sector investors are usually nigerians wt close connection to govt,wt no proven independent biz record,unable to secure needed international counterpart funding,arising frm d same unknown or poor biz record,but who at d end of d day get to collect fees,taxes or rebates frm project dey contributed nothing to.

It seems you are a dyslexic imb£cile . She said the project will generate 100b anually nt that the project will be funded with 100b . Ubulu eke . Ezi

SLIDE waxie: Well, i don't like mandela, and i'm not carried away by his hypes.

But it is so clear that while the story of biafrans were related to these OP by his fathers, they were so ashamed to tell him the truth that OJUKWU actually left them for dead on the war front and ran off in some lady's attire!



But if u say he is ur hero in biafra, well, who doesn't knw that the name 'ibo' is synonymous to 'substandard'?

Your fathers sper.m is substandard that's why idio.ts like you roam the earth . Gosh ! ( To even think you are the fittest sperm that fertilized the dirty ovum )

Having carefully read the misinformed claim by an alleged man of God , I can't help but wonder why supposed christians these days fail to look inward . A nigerian pastor obviously inspired by cheap popularity wakes up one day and condemns billions of people to hell in clear defiance to the word of God that says "judge not that you may not be judged ,for the measure you use against others shall be used against you " without first examining his 'heaven worthyness' given the fact that he has been divorced 3 times and he's presently organizing a beauty peagent to pick the next young lady whose virtue He will assault . The said man of God proved his 'supposed' divine mandate when he made false claims in the name of God and ran for president ,an election he so woefully failed . Please can God inspire false prophecies? Of course not , so Chris Okotie has proven himself to be what he truely is .
He is obviously a religious entrepreneur who is manifesting his marketing skills (because an entrepreneur will do or say whatever to edge out competition ) . That's why he is attacking the catholic church to gain cheap popularity in order to lure people to his fold to rip them off their hard earned money in the name of tithes and offerings afterall the main aim of an entrepreneur is to make more profit.
He is not a genuine man of God because by the fruits of a man of God you shall know them.
He is an opportunist who twists sacred truth for personal gain as is made manifest by his use of the church as a compulsion to have a shot at presidency , his use of his office as a pastor to compel women into a beauty peagent with promise of marriage after 3 previous divorce , his trending uninspired provocative truth etc
With all these said , I advise the numerous 'hunger inspired' pastors to preach Jesus instead of condemning a church that does.

The bible never said a woman should not wear trousers . The bible says that " A man should not wear that which pertains to a woman , and a woman should not wear that which pertains to a man " . This implies that each gender should not cross-dress ie a woman should not dress in a masculine fashion ( as is common among lesbians) and that a man should not dress in a feminine fashion ( as is common among gays and transvestites ). There are trousers fashioned for men and there are trousers fashioned for women (observe the difference between men's trousers and womens trousers ) its not a sin for a woman to wear trousers tailored to complement her feminine and womanly features ,it becomes a sin when she dresses masculine and vise versa

The Religious entrepreneur chris okotie is jst seeking attention
