okparaugo: It is a very big shame when all a person can achieve is running after increased pay when he/she could better his own pay via private practice.

It is not uncommon to see multimillionaire doctors and pharmacits who through private practice have dwarfed government pay and bettered their lives...

Every time we be hearing this noise. Smh..

bigass: When did pharmacist become a title?. You are Mr Sesan Kareem.

ziga: No I don't. I'm trying to tie your multiple statements together and they are contradictory.

So, because you think Doctors already get what they deserve, then the Nigerian people get what they deserve, and they deserve lack of equipment, poor training of the Docs supposed to treat them?

ziga: Your statement is filled with contradictions. Doctor face and handle more life threatening situations, yet their scope of knowledge is abysmal

So, therefore. Nigeria's women and children deserve to die from Malaria, Pneumonia and other preventable or treatable medical problems in the hands of these Nigerian Doctors.

If that is your stand, i know you do not speak for the people of Nigeria and I pray you are not involved in making Nigeria's decisions.

ziga: I agree with your point here that Nigeria should train their Doctors well and pay them better.

But saying that you believe they are earning what they deserve is absolutely contradictory to your first statement. because that means Nigerians are getting the kind of healthcare that they deserve based on how they treat their Doctors.

dremmy: My point is: Naija's health system is modelled after the British. I was responding to 1. Lanrefront whose Lab scientist mum who had worked for 30 years tells him how pungent doctors were. and 2.Invertedhammer who quotes his almighty US without even knowing that both health structure and medical education in US is clearly set apart from the rest of the British commonwealth.

And yes, i might have not quoted lanrefronts comments to join to your own crap and i guess thats what makes me a stroke patient and a psychiatric person too.
However, if it's the demi god status of doctors that is giving you sleepless nights, if its what is giving you a huge colic, then I suggest you my friend to go jump off the cliff!!

invertedHammer: You have no iota of idea of what you are talking about. Government hospitals like Veterans Medical Centers (the biggest Federal funded hospital chain in USA) are not headed by medical doctors. Some doctors are in what will best be described as Board of Directors. But the overall head is usually someone trained in Business or Healthcare administration. The overall head known as the Secretary of VA Mr. Shinseki thst just resigned has M.A in English while Mr. Sloans who is the acting Secretary now has M.A in Economics. It is pertinent to note that each facility has a director and I am yet to know any facility that has a medical doctor as the overall head. You can Google their website at www.VA.gov to educate yourself. Hospitals in US are run as corporations that they are and not as "ego massage parlours".

dremmy: Before you sell your garbage, Nigerian hospitals have Director of Administration (DA) that oversee the administrative Sides of the hospitals and the Board of directors appointed by either the state or federal government. This board is the highest decision making body in the hospital. Now can you leave the US abit? Can we focus on how the British NhS hospital Is run? because the last time I checked our health care and even all university degrees were modelled after our colonial masters! Can you please stop the US crap?

I would take Yeovil hospital NHS as an example. It's headed by a CEO Dr Lucy more. Who is a specialist. The hospital also have board of directors that are 14 in number. Don't bring out yourself with your cheap reasons. We know America is a place where everything goes because of their complicated health system.

Do you want me to educate you on the health system of western Europe? Of course they are modelled like that of the UK! India and China the medical directors are medical doctors too while the managerial components are health with by managers who may or may not be doctors.
So your argument holds no water!
Also, if your Johesu says doctors and paramedics should earn the same salaries, is that how it's done in your almighty US? For your info the head of the labs in hospitals in UK and US are pathologists(specialist doctors) and they earn over a median of $250k while the lab scientist like your mum in US don't even hit 6 figures! It is the same story in UK and the discrepancy is even worse in UAE and Qatar! RELATIVITY is the rule but only JOE HATES YOU doesn't see that!

gab4u: Funny... After 3 years na now u dey waka cum complain

tunesoft: Gloria Iheanacho writes. And i found it interesting.

I am a Medical lab scientist in one of the state hospitals. I have this strange feeling for doctors, hatred is the extreme form of what i feel about them. Its nothing personal. My family are JOHE hiSU-mother is a nurse practising in the US for more than 16yrs, father is a pharmacist. 2 of my siblings are pharmacist and one a nurse. My mother watched the sunrise daily yesterday and kept on screaming. Theres no place in the US in which the other health workers heads. They are usually headed by doctors. Not all nurses are made consultants. You talk about consultant nurse when you talk about the legal aspect and they dont work in hospitals. Relativity is maintained everywhere in the health sector. Whats the debate about?
As hard as it is for me to write this, i want to be on the side of truth. The doctors in this country are not given the necessary respect that they need. Personally, i have read the 24 point demands and i think theres so much sense in it. The FG needs to do something about this. Lets join our hands and build our health sector. Health they say is wealth

Rayvene: Dude is FUGLY to me.Heck,I can't even stare at his picture for a long time.
He doesn't have a solid-rock-man face to me;he has a puny biitch-assss niggur face as far as I'm concerned.

Why the hecky heck are y'all killing yaselves over this guy anyway?From this day till the day I die,I'll never see him as even remotely handsome.

Abeg e don do.

ujong5410: hahahahahahaha, thanks though, i thought i could give it a shot since i am in sokoto @ d moment.

smilingjee: Writer Amy Chau, who gained notoriety 2 years ago as 'Tiger Mum' after publishing her controversial book 'Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" where she claimed that Chinese mums make the best parents and ultimately have more successful children, is back in the news.

Chau and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, just released a controversial (and some say racist) parenting guide called 'The Triple Package', where they declared there to be only eight successful and superior groups of people in the US.

They eight are: Chinese, Jewish, Indian, Iranian, Lebanese-Americans, Nigerians, Cuban exiles and Mormons


Amy Chau, 51, breaks down the 'Triple Package' for her readers as follows:

agbameta: Don't kill the poor village boy, he never left his village hence his flawed understanding of Fullerton and even the US. Orange county should have clued him in, but his lack of knowledge and usual incompetence betrayed him.

How do you educate yourself about any city with just 2 seconds on wiki?

I spent several years in Cali, Mission Viejo in Orange county to be precise and even one of my ex went to cal state Fullerton. Glendale on the other hand is LA overflow, there is little or nothing there apart from the Glendale mall or maybe Brand street which is basically their renovated downtown....


Nauseating villagers...smh.

manny4life: I know u made a mistake, but MD and Washington are not a cities o, they are states unless u meant Washington D.C.
