HealthRe: Nigeria "Mourns" Dr Adadevoh As Disdain for Nigerian Doctors Escalates by ifyclose2(op): 2:42pm On Aug 22, 2014
9jalyte: My friend, that is trash! When you were entering the medical school, was there anything about the hazards of medical practice that was hidden from you. You decided to go to take up the challenges, stop acting as if you just realize that you will deal with infectious diseases after you took your oath. For the records, among those directly involved in managing patients, the Drs are among the least exposed to hazard. In assessing that, look at the parameters used 1. Contact with patients 2. contact with body fluids, 3. contact with chemical or radiation/radioactive/biohazards.
The Drs and Nurses have contact with patients and in some occasions, the body fluid. The medical lab scientists are exposed to patients, body fluids, chemicals and biological hazards. The pharmacists are exposed to patients and pharmaceutical waste (just google the health impact of pharmaceutical wastes), the radiologist/radiographers are exposed to patients and radiation. Looking at this, who do you think should earn more in hazard allowance. And this days, we talk about evidence based policy, can you give us reference/evidence that Drs have more Nosocomial infection than other health professionals, or other occupational health disadvantage more than the others. Or are you driven by your fragile ego that even though the others are more exposed, the have to earn less, because you are the boss. Also, the peasant working as hospital waste management officer, have you talked about them?

And leaving the Medical profession now to others. The soldier has more risk associated to his profession more than Dr, and they are playing great role, in fact they have contributed more to saving lives than some of the Drs. How much are they paid, same with police men, fire fighters etc. The Lawyers, who are exposed to possible attacks by criminal, and gangs, how much is their risk allowance. Even the clergy has the risk attached to theirs. You see, it is time to really evaluate again why you joined medical profession, and save us this your constant cry of "more money or...."
I'm thinking of hiring a search team to search for the sense in this post....who is comparing d hazard allowances of d various professions? Don't these other professions have UNIONS that can fight for their entitlements? And u talk about pharmacists being exposed 2 patients and pharmaceutical waste!!!....I laugh...it's obvious you have never set foot in a govt hospital in Nigeria....doctors make d MOST-DIRECT contact with sick patients, including physically touching them during examinations. I wonder what risk could possibly be greater than this....if u repeat everything u have just written on Night of a Thousand Laughs, MTN or Etisalat will make you a comedy ambassador.

HealthNMA Dares Jonathan - Asks Resident Doctors To Reject Sack Letters by ifyclose2(op): 5:51pm On Aug 15, 2014
The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has ordered
all resident doctors to reject the federal government
directive and not collect any sack letters from the
management of their hospitals.
After a meeting by the association’s National Officers’
Committee, NOC, on Friday, the doctors were also
advised not to sign any register opened by the
Nigerian government or any hospital.
On Thursday, President Goodluck Jonathan ordered
the sack of about 16,000 resident doctors in Nigeria.
Resident doctors are also members of the NMA,
which has been on strike since July 1.
The directive by Mr. Jonathan was stated in an
internal memo dated August 13 and signed by the
Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, L.N.
Awute. The memo was addressed to tertiary
hospitals.
Mr. Awute said the directive was given in a view of
the challenges facing the health sector while
hospitals could employ part time doctors (locum)
who must be of ‘good behaviour’.
The memo also contained a sample of sack letters to
be issued all the resident doctors in the different
hospitals.
“In compliance with this order, I am to regrettably
inform you that your appointment in this hospital is
hereby terminated forthwith,” the permanent
secretary said in the specimen sack letter she asked
hospitals to issue resident doctors.
However, the NMA, in its resolution, ordered medical
doctors to not apply for part time job as directed by
FG’s circular.
“For the avoidance of doubt, no medical doctor no
matter how hungry, should pick up any locum
appointment with the government hospitals
as directed by the circular. Any doctor who flouts this
directive, does so at his/her own peril,” the
association said.
All doctors were also directed to remain committed
to volunteering to help contain the Ebola Disease
outbreak in Nigeria.
The association also advised the Nigerian
government to ensure that people under the deadly
disease surveillance do not travel outside their
domain of residence.
The NMA also admonished all its members to remain
calm and wait for further directive from the
association.
The association condemned the president’s directive
and asked him to withdraw the suspension circular
and unconditionally reinstate all the ‘so-called sacked’
resident doctors.
It demanded that the government show commitment
in resolving current impasse with the association
rather than resorting to punitive measures that will
only further aggravate the already
deplorable situation.
The federal government had in its circular indicated
that the resident doctors were being sacked because
the government was suspending residency training
“indefinitely.”
The NMA, however, advised that rather than abolish
residency training, government should show more
commitment towards improving the already poorly
funded programme.

Nigerian Troops Clear Terrorists Bases
In Balmo Forest: Capture Foreign
Mercenaries
“Troops have cleared and taken over Balmo forest in
a military operation that lasted throughout the
weekend. Prior to the operation, Balmo forest
stretching from Bauchi through Jigawa States with
links to the fringes of Sambisa forest was used by
terrorists as bases and hideouts for launching
attacks.
In the latest twist in the ongoing fight against Boko
Haram terrorists, the Nigerian military announced
that it has conducted major breakthrough just hours
ago. In a statement issued to the media, and one
also obtained by SaharaReporters, military
spokesmen say their persistence has paid off in the
continuing fight.
The statement appears below:
“Troops have cleared and taken over Balmo forest
in a military operation that lasted throughout the
weekend. Prior to the operation, Balmo forest
stretching from Bauchi through Jigawa States
with links to the fringes of Sambisa forest was
used by terrorists as bases and hideouts for
launching attacks. “Terrorists and armed gangs operating in the
forests were completely rooted out while some
were captured during the operation. Among
those captured were two foreigners who are
suspected to be mercenaries. Also captured are
several weapons and equipment including power
generating sets, communication equipment,
vehicles, motorcycles, foodstuff and kitchen
utensils.
“In another development, over 44 terrorists have
died in Kerenoa and adjoining communities,
following an encounter with troops who repelled
their attack on the communities. Armed with
IEDs and other high caliber weapons, a large
number of terrorists had carried out a predawn
attack on the communities but met with stiff
resistance of the troops. During the operation,
several of them were captured as well as weapons
and ammunitions of various calibre.
“Meanwhile, troops on routine patrol around Banki
and Miyanti in Borno State during the weekend
fought through an ambush laid by terrorists
resulting in casualties on both sides. Altogether,
a total of 6 soldiers were lost in the various
encounters with terrorists during the weekend
while those wounded are receiving treatment.

PoliticsRe: JOHESU Are Smoking Weed by ifyclose2(op): 2:51pm On Jul 06, 2014
Me_Aboki: OP: why must you come here to display your absurd position, using quite silly comparisons to make your ridiculous claim?

First of all, the office of the CMD is a political/administrative anomaly and a misnomer for a Hospital Administrator.

Please take a cue from the state or federal government scheme of service and show me where from the entry point to the terminal point is the position of CMD reflected in the career progression of medical doctors.
Please also tell me what is the academic qualification or criteria needed by an individual to be able to administrate a hospital that only doctors possess and not other health workers ?
Where in doctors curriculum is hospital administration included that gives them superior administrative skills over and above others?
How many of the so called CMDs have formal administrative training and qualifications?

Substituting the title CMD for Hospital Administrators is the real problem causing doctors to feel as if the position is their birthright at the exclusion of others.
If doctors without administrative skills are allowed to run hospitals then why can't others with similar experience?
What is so special about running a hospital since after all (as you put it) a secondary school graduate with SSCE can run for president and lead the whole country - for goodness sake.

I am confident that JOHESU members wouldn't have been calling for the position to be opened to others if doctors had not been abusing the office of the CMDs (like that of the minister for health) as a convenient tool for oppressing and suppressing the growth and development of other health workers - who they look down upon and treat with contempt.

The solution to this issue is simply to revert back to neutral professionally trained and qualified hospital administrators or open the position to any suitably qualified health worker, as well as also ditching the title CMD for CEOs so that doctors won't fool themselves into believing that such office holder is performing the function of a certified physician.
Doctors can have their CMDs as heads of their departments e.g. O&G, Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, etc.

Secondly, on the issue of consultant; check up the meaning of consultant and show me where it says only doctors can be consultants.

The truth is, anybody can and should be free to become a consultant if he/she attains the requisite qualification for his chosen career - you can even have consultant shoe shiner, cleaner, bus conductor if need be - whats so wrong with that?

FYI, JOHESU members are not vying to be medical consultants but Nurse Consultant, Pharmacy Consultant, Consultant Radiographer, Consultant Laboratory Scientist, etc. - in fact, consultants in their own field as may be defined and determined by their own professional regulatory bodies, as accordingly empowered by law to set standards for training and practice in such professions - doctors should therefore have no say in this matter - until someone encroaches into their field or assumes their identity.
Take it or leave it, the doctor is the most IDEAL person to head any hospital because of his vast knowledge in relation to patient care....d average doctor has some knowledge about pharmacy, lab science and nursing....but these other guys have NO KNOWLEDGE about medicine...the major problem with these JOHESU guys (apart from d Pharmacists) is JEALOUSY and INFERIORITY COMPLEX....and this has been on-going for decades....instead of appreciating d position which God has given them, and see themselves as distinguished professionals, they choose instead to rub shoulders with doctors, which is absolutely ridiculous IMHO.....u need to visit federal and state hospitals and see d negative behaviour of some of these guys, particularly towards doctors. It smells of pure envy.....and come to think of it...whenever a sick person visits a hospital, he doesn't go to see d nurse or lab scientist. He goes to see d DOCTOR. The doctor is d rightful owner of d patient and takes responsibility whenever things go wrong.....whenever a patient feels poorly-treated and decides to press charges, it is d DOCTOR that gets sued, not d lab scientist or nurse. This is because we have a GREATER RESPONSIBILITY in relation to patient care.....all this unnecessary rivalry has to stop before we can move forward.

Only Trade Unions have the right to strike. The Nigeria Medical Association, being an association, does not have any right to even make trade related demands, talkless of strike. .

If they want to strike, they should go and form a Union.

An association going on strike is akin to gross insubordination. . If i were the president, if they like, let them strike till next year. . i won't even bathe a eye lid at them. . By the time doctors are realize that they're not indispensable, they will come back to their senses. .

hippocratic oath which u know nothing about. We wrote
it. We swore to it, we know what it means.
The other group (Joe-hates-you) on the other hand is an irrational organisation
made up of other health workers, infact, basically
everyone who works in a hospital. From accounts
department to cleaners and other aggrieved non-doctor
health workers, whose sole aim is to frustrate the health
sector
There is the DA, a powerful office open to every one and in most
hospitals, if not all, has never been smelt by a doctor.
How can someone who is not a doctor be fighting for chief
medical director. So the accounts department in a police
station should start fighting for Inspector general, cos they
work with the police?
How can nurses start talking about consultancy? They
have matrons, CNO's and all what not. Consultancy is a
position, not bestowed upon anyone. U go thru a
residency program, write exams and become one under a
recognised medical post graduate college.
And by becoming a consultant, u have the sole
responsibility of the patient. Every other person, from the
resident doctor to the nurse and orderlies are mere aides.
I don't know how to start explaining this because no one
would understand. Its like 2moro, assuming when Nigeria
was under military rule, civil defence would come out and
demand to become president. But when the war starts, u
send the soldiers. That u match infront of ur civil defence
office DOES NOT make u a military combatant.
And if the same benefits given to these soldiers are given
to the boy scouts, every one would become a boy scout.
Medical doctors were not selected. Its open to everyone.
If u want to be a consultant or a CMD then u go and
study medicine. U dont wake up one morning and decide
to convert ur profession to what it is not.
U say Nigerians are subjecting their patients to quacks.
Who are those quacks? Are they not the same people who
believe by working inside a hospital they've become
doctors? Thats exactly what Joy-hates-you (JOHESU) is doing.
The federal govt acted like they did during the fuel
subsidy, kidnap, bombings and all their plain acts of
ignorance. And the medical profession has just had
enough of the stupidity.
The Chief medical director office is the BIRTHRIGHT of
medical doctors as much as being president of Nigeria is
the birthright of a nigerian citizen. U cant come from
ghana, live here for 30yrs and demand to be president.
There is a medical salary structure worked out based on
relativity. No doctor has ever fought the govt based on
how much they chose to pay other health workers. But
relativity keeps it sane. Without the cleaners in a hospital,
it wont function. So therefore, they should strike till they
are paid higher than the graduate workers? because they are
equally important?
Keep salary structure relative, keep qualified people in
their due offices and provide an enabling working
environment. I dont think thats an irrational thing to fight
for.
And saying NMA is envious is only laughable. Envious of
who if I may ask? Of the nurse? Are u serious for real?
JOHESU members can blog all they want and seek cheap
sympathy for as long as they want. The fact still remains
that the truth is the truth.
I can't chose to become a doctor and 2moro start
complaining about Mikel Obi's salary. If I wanted, I could
have become a footballer.
I urge Nigerians to understand that this strike, much
as it affects them, is not directed towards them.
ASUU strikes over salary, colleges of education and
polytechnics are on strike over money. No one has called
them evil. We strike over common sense and people start
ranting.
There are laws. In Nigeria, u cannot become president
without at least an SSCE. If u chose not to go to
secondary school, then thats ur problem. U chose ur
profession, or u failed to meet the standards of the one u
chose and hence went to another. Which ever way it
happened, thru ur own fault or circumstances surrounding
u, u dont try to turn an existing system upside down to
suit ur selfish needs from wat u imagined a particular
profession gains financially , at the expense of quality,
efficiency and common sense.".............SO on a final note, since u guys "claim" to be consultants, no problem then.....now that we have vacated d hospitals 4 u, then go ahead and "consult".....clerk patients, examine them, order relevant investigations, diagnose them, place them under "expert" management/treatment, perform surgeries as well as other procedures.....GOOD LUCK.
