I dnt want to be tempted to say na ur papa be mr ignoramus. May Godd bless u n ur family for portraying to the cyber world that ur trainings from childhood smacks of civility and tantamount to infantile bunkum. Since u r feigning ignorance to the word ''attending''. Y didn't u elaborate d ambiguity 'attending' if u never had any ulterior motive for this poo?! Docs r nw omniscient to revive babies even if I believe the premature babies were already laid in the 'air-tight' biological machine (incubator) b4 d said invasion?

Moreso, let me presume the hospital was working in its full capacity as the message portrays, what then were the fate of other babies in the adjoining wards and the elderly on admission whom I know might not have much vigor to run for dear lives?! Is tear gas now selective in its action? I dnt wanna be provoked to call u n ur entire house hold a generational fool! Dnt push me to the wall. ok!

Nigerians r engulfed in electioneering processes and r far from the gullibility of the imbroglio in d health sector! GEJ n GMB aren't even considering health sector crisis as one of the headaches of Nigeria. I pity the poor who resort to subsidized health care in tertiary health facilities which has been hitherto grounded by the incessant strikes by those in the health sector coz the rich go abroad even for common delivery of their babies.

I so weep for this country!

Lemme just help u with d summary.
Because of the singular reason that no infant death was said to have occurred in the report as a result of the alleged teargas release, the report is therefore not just false, but conjured to tarnish the image of johesu.
Mr Noblealuu, u need to get ur head examined.
BTW, what's noble about the notorious aluu?

First risk factor is being of African origin
Smoking is protective

noblealuu:
Cheap propaganda! The originator of this news sure has a sinister purpose for this nonsense! Tear gas in a hospital, when someone is alleged to be attending to a baby? And the baby survived it?

Mr ignoramus, that's why doctors are there, to ensure the babies are safe and take necessary measures and interventions to effect that aim.
Besides, preterms are nursed inside incubators which have very little link with the external environment.
BTW
..the part that says a particular man belongs to the militant wing got me cracking..

In a bizarre act of aggression, members of the Joint Health Staff Union
(JOHESU) were at the weekend alleged to have stormed the premises of
Gwarinpa General Hospital, Abuja, to unleash terror on any visible personnel,
especially doctors on duty. They were also said to have vandalised property.
The President of the Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) chapter, Dr. Isaac Akerele, who narrated the incident, said it was an act
of “sheer luck for many doctors who were on duty to have escaped the
onslaught”.
Members of the JOHESU comprising nurses, pharmacists, laboratory scientists,
physiotherapists and non-health workers had since November, 2014, been on
strike in protest against government refusal to meet their demands.
Akerele, however, expressed sadness that a very senior doctor was unlucky and
she was terribly manhandled.
He said the attackers broke down all the entrance to the main block including
the laboratory and later shot canister of tear gas that triggered severe
respiratory distress that necessitated intensive care resuscitation.
Although the reason for JOHESU action was not stated, he noted, it was
apparent that they were angered by the fact that Doctors had been successfully
attending to patients even with JOHESU on strike.
Akerele described the action of the health workers as a barbaric, totally
condemnable, unacceptable and a fatal error.
He said his association was reliably informed that the group was led by one
Shuaib Onucheyo, a Laboratory Technician with Nyanya General Hospital, who
was believed to belong to the militant wing of JOHESU, carrying out this attack
on hospitals and doctors.
He said: “This group came to the Gwarimpa General Hospital with all manners
of weapons, including firearms that was used to shoot tear gas canisters into
the hospital.
“This attack left many, including patients injured, with some in critical conditions
at the intensive care unit especially a very senior colleague who was attending
to preterm babies at the time of this attack.
“We are calling on all authorities especially the Inspector General of Police (IG)
to urgently investigate the sources of the weapons used. We equally call on the
FCT Administration (FCTA) to investigate and apply public service rules to
protect our members on call.”
“To this effect, a letter has been sent to the FCT authorities. In this regard, I
have directed our lawyers to institute a legal action against these persons and
the body they represent for damages.
“ As law abiding professionals, we do not want to take laws into or hands but
we are sending strong warnings to any groups or persons or associations to
stop harassing our members. To be forewarned is to be forearmed,” he
cautioned.
In a related development, Akerele expressed the association’s appeal to
politicians to invest in the health sector, as they campaign for next month’s
general election.
He said the provision of excellent health infrastructure and better investment
should be a priority to the politicians.
Meanwhile, the leadership of JOHESU in the country has been urged to end the
nation-wide strike entering three months now for the sake of the suffering
masses.
The Chief Medical Director (CMD), University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH),
Prof. Etete Peters, at a chat with journalists in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, weekend
said it was unprofessional for the health workers to be on such a prolong strike.
The federal government, he said, was not adamant over the position of the
health workers as government had engaged the labour leaders in series of
constructive negotiations towards resolving the lingering contentious issues.
Prof. Peters noted that the federal government has agreed to address the grey
and contentious grievances of the workers, especially those bordering on
payment of arrears of allowances, clinical governance and professionalism.
“We strongly feel that it is quite important to take another look at the scenario
in view of the suffering and hardship the strike is causing the masses,” he
stressed.
According to him, government has agreed to settle the main outstanding issues
bordering on the payment of arrears of their allowances following Court
judgment obtained about two years ago.
The money for the payment of that allowance, he said, had been captured in the
2015 appropriation now pending before the National Assembly for passage into
law.
Equally, he said a high-powered committee set up by President Goodluck
Jonathan on inter-professional relationship in the public health sector has
submitted its report.
“The report of the committee has been submitted to Mr. President and the
white-paper committee set up, we expect that the white paper should come up
in the next few days.
“The report of that committee has summarily dealt with all the issues of various
conflicts in term of professional practice within the health sector.
“It is expected that when the white paper is issued, each professional will know
their role or level of work within the system,” he said

1st picture- those Alhajas at the background ain't bad...

It will be interesting seeing APC take over the federation, PDP taking over Lagos #beautyofpolitics

See fine curly hair Sokoto boy..

Tochi, u are touching hearts subconsciously. My top favourite is still that boy hawking oranges on the front page, and I'm always forced to check that line again and again anytime I open this thread.
Touching, well done Tochi.....

chuksbogus:
ENUGU state hospitals started strike before JOHESU strike. they have their own issue with their governor about implementing the salary scale other parts of Nigeria has been enjoying since 2009.so they have resolved it with the government who promised to implement it this February after the February salary and if the Johesu strike is still on they will join.

This still doesn't explain the reason why they shouldn't join the strike, all JOHESU state chapters have their separate issues with the state government. I'm sure if what the national JOHESU is agitating for makes sense with reality, then it should be of topmost priority than the monetary issues between state chapters and the state governments.

Oduduwaboy:
Well am sure of Lagos state, Ondo state, Ekiti state , Kwara state!

Enugu is also out, Osun never joined from onset

All I see is a seemingly flat chest.

Na by style each state chapter go use commot from d nationwide strike. Reality is now dawning ...

These people are still yet to embrace reality. I just hope they ain't driving themselves to doom because privatization is imminent.
Strike sustained?
?Welldone JOHESU...

optm:
u nw use such derogatory wrds as drug sales man to qualify a pharmacist? U c whts stirrin up d problem in d health sector? No mutual respect dis is nt obtainable outside d country where tins re dn rightly. An NSAID was prescribed fr my sista in d hospital nd she wz havin stomach ulcer if nt fr d pharmacist dat chose to ask if she wz havin an ulcer she wld hv took d nsaid wich wz contraindicative in ha case nd a drug sales man wldnt hv cared to ask bt sold d drug. Heard of some oda cases where med dr prescribe wrong drugs nd d drug is changed on gettin to d pharmacist. Every health care provider shld hv mutual respect nd wrk in harmony therez no superiority evry actn shld be fr d pts interest

No offence bro, but the obvious fact is still that the hospital pharmacists act substantially as salesmen in the hospitals. The fact that that the doc prescribed NSAIDs for a PUD patient only shows negligence on the part of the doc, he might just have been so overwhelmed by patients that he ignored taking basic medical history before the prescription which unfortunately actually happens a lot. But nevertheless, a pharmacist still has no power to change the prescription but to send the patient back to the doc with a note. Docs ain't God, they ain't perfect, we all make mistakes.
I never said pharmacists don't know their job, but that they neglected their presumed duty and rather prefer going after a Consultant title.
So now answer my question, which should be their priority?

kennedymonk:
, I didn't ask for any lectures, there are several easier ways to gather definitions of "clinical" that is if didn't know, and I was stating the very obvious if you will be true to your self
NB I mean you no offence

1. Chief, the might in that word is not just a function of definition but what it encompasses which obviously you ain't knowledgeable of because if u do, u won't post to a public forum that pharmaceutical care will compete with clinical care.
Sorry, I still got no time for the lecturing
2 You never made any comment as regards which the hospital pharmacists be preoccupied with, becoming a Consultant drugs salesmen or this your pharmaceutical care implementation?
Thank u.

ok o

kennedymonk:
what do see hospital pharmacy as, drug store right..... let's allow pharmaceutical care in hospitals and see if privatization of hospital pharmacy will not be in par with that of clinical services

Well, i can't waste my time lecturing u on what d word 'clinical' means...
BTW, it will be better if u can convince our salesmen pharmacists to rather pursue d implementation of pharmaceutical care rather than d 'consultant' title.
Abi what do u think?

AgapeCharis:
Nnaa dey plenty o
But as a medical doctor, ur ppa and ur timetable will be a deciding factor.. Are u serving already?

Not yet

Which is suitable for corper medical doctors?

Lagusta:
In fact, privatize the whole health care system and let everybody rest!!¡!

Exactly, that would have been the best solution but privatizing all will skyrocket d cost of care.
I believe limiting d privatization to laboratory and pharmacy services will still be the best coz many patients and even hospitals are already used to patronizing these private establishments even when the whole hospital is functioning, no strike.
And to all fairness, their services are much better than what their counterparts in the hospitals offer though most of the private laboratories are owned by d hospitals' lab scientists...
