drered: Don't be daft. Nobody was on those machines before they went on strike? + Consultant doctors are supposed to maintain status quo pending their court case with PCN so why can't fresh patients be placed on life support?

drered: So the diesel keeping patients on life support is a waste? You really are concerned sir!

drered: Lol. Pharmacists go to school to learn how to follow your orders? Loooool.. So what orders do you give academic pharmacists, industrial pharmacists, compounding pharmacists, drug information pharmacists, infectious disease pharmacists, nuclear pharmacists, regulatory pharmacists and public health service pharmacists?

hybridtm: why so much hate for doctors,in dis country. we just lost a classmate in biochemistry dept, in UNIBEN ....wen we took him 2 UBTH the doctors were on strike and...sincerely the nurses were confused on wat 2 do.
if u can be like them..pls don,t hate dem

Eretare: You quoted Florence Nightingales' dispute with the doctors during the Crimean war. What you failed to mention was that the morbidity and mortality in her wards were worse than those of the untreated patients. Read about her properly and you'd find out that the Crimean war was her biggest failure. It was so bad that she refused to leave her home post-war.

agabaI23: genitals
Clap for me.

azimibraun: The only disagreement I have with this write is the fact tha, he doesn't understand why the Doctors want to be incharge. If doctors don't manage the hospitals as chief Medical directors(cmd) how does he want them to raise money for the political ambitions and plans of owning big churches? The Doctor needs to have a budget and award contracts to make money and become a Senator, Governor, House member and General Overseer. Check the Nigerian senate and various churches and private hospitals and u wll understand what am talking about.

Akadile: It's obvious the writer is biased. STRIKE IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT UNDERSTANDS. At least, the writer accepts that Government is notorious for not honoring agreements. So, how will one get them to listen? People always quote the Hippocratic oath against Doctors but I tell you that if when that oath was written, that Drs knew that their wages will be owed, that the privileges accorded to only Dr then will later be accorded to other non -Drsby a visionless govt like ours, then there must have been a provisor or an escape clause. ASUU was on strike for 6 months in order to get the govt to listen & no one is talking about it. Drs go on strike after ultimatums, warning strike etc & people are blaming Drs. Maybe the writer should tell us how to get the govt to listen; maybe by witchcraft. I pity the public bc they don't understand the gravity of the situation, bc if they do, they should rise up against the govt. This act of govt is making merit pave way for mediocrity & remember that they don't seek healthcare inside Nigeria. So if the health sector is filled with titled mediocres, I wonder who suffers. Most commenters on this strike Though not all HATE Drs & that is why you will see many insensitive comments against Drs. Remember Drs have families, have responsibilities like every other Nigerian living in this harsh environment.

I rest my case

jauntty: We hope the strike end soon.......However, I do not like the way FG is handling this matter. This is not just NMA vs FG , neither is it JOHESU vs FG, Its more of NMA vs JOHESU vs FG, and any solution that doesn't bring these 3 groups to a round table might not be long lasting. E.g. If FG agrees with NMA and stop Consultancy status for others, JOHESU will declare their own Strike. My advice is that we should avoid these sentimental and myopic views about these issues and ask our selves this question : What is the healthcare system and structures like in developed countries This should guild us in resolving this issues. Nigeria is not an island of its own.

youngRx: yeah dey r support staff....dat means u know doctors need suport and any one who needs support CAN NEVER walk alone. stop mking it sound like whats happening now wil not happen if JOHESU were to embark on a total n nationwide strike like ur callous fellows....the butchers in lab coat

PharmGreg: and hope u knw Biochemist can also specialize there?

PharmGreg: by specialize do u mean having an Msc?

Acidosis: Lolll, because you spent few weeks in your 200L physiology lab class doesn't make you superior to someone who spent 5 solid years in the field.
BMLS (Bachelor Degree in Medical Laboratory Science) is widely recognised all over the world.



Stop feeding the public with lies

Acidosis: and when the Pharmacists stop the supply of drugs... I'm sure your privatisation will enable you treat your patient with stethoscope.


Failure to acknowledge the fields of other health workers will only lead to a total collapse of the system.

We the general public await the privatisation.

Oduduwaboy: Mueh eh...dont worry my guy! The doctors are well able.

Indeed, the current president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria Olumide Akintayo, was denied admission to study Medicine at Ife many years ago.
