Hospitals in developed countries are managed by people who are not doctors and they end up creating layers and layers of bureaucracy and stupid rules that don't make my sense because they don't know what they're saying, because they're not doctors!

Doctors and nurses working under managers like that complain about it all the time. A doctor or specialist nurse who understands how policy will affect practice is better than some chap with a management degree who has no idea what is actually involved in effectively treating a patient, timetabling, liaising with suppliers and so on.

The reason developed countries hire those people is to save money and not because it's better.

The bolded is what I'm trying to say. A doctor who is also enlightened will be unconcerned with petty rivalries and will try to balance the needs of staff vs. those of the patients, and try to integrate the roles and skills of all the staff to create a working system.

Any doctor worth his salt knows that he is finished without a solid team of nurses, so he will make sure he respects them. And he knows not to talk to a pharmacist anyhow. And an auxiliary nurse, cleaner and porter all also have his total and utmost respect.

This is to do with bad attitude and lack of professionalism from our indigent doctors, so the problem is not being a doctor but how the doctor sees his role in relation to others.

Well, over the years Nigeria's health system has been under the management of doctors yet our hospitals are nothing to write home about. Those managers in the developed nations are breaking bounds while their hospitals are doing far much better than Nigerian hospitals run by doctors! Of course, it is only natural for some doctors in those developed nations to complain and try to make it appear like the managers are not doing well. However, the results coming from such countries have so far proven that the managers are doing well!

It's actually better for a hospital to be managed by a doctor; the problem is not being a doctor but being a poor manager with poor leadership skills and inflated ego

A non-practising doctor with some business management or health economics qualifications is better for a hospital than a reverend father though the rf is doing his best

It is not better in anyway! In most developed nations, hospitals are managed by non medical doctors.
The reason is that a hospital is a gathering of different professional groups to serve the patient. When you appoint a Nigerian doctor to head a hospital, he tends to be biased in favor of the doctors (This is worst with those of them that trained in Nigeria, most of those that trained abroad understand how hospitals work and so they usually do better). The result is a chaotic hospital with the patients at the receiving end. Under such atmosphere, nothing works and the productivity declines. That is the major problem facing our public hospitals. The doctors are just out to milk the system dry while productivity continues to nosedive.

Medical negligence is very real,however it's not only in nigeria and its not because of quackery or some shit.. Many doctors are brain drained,72hrs of call and all, what do u expect..mistakes happen,highest is to charge them to court. Doesn't mean nigerian doctors are outchea killing people... I am yet to hear of doctors killing people anyhow in places like reddington and all,no b same doctors dey work dere

Reddington is progressing because it is managed by unbiased managers with experience in hospital administration. So, all the different professional groups know their roles and stick to them with none trying to lord over others.
The managers set the standards and everybody is bound to comply with no group claiming superiority over others.This is unlike our public hospitals that our local doctors run like some kind of animal farm. Playing politics with people's lives!

Go check most hospitals run by non medical managers, they're always doing well. Eg most Catholic hospitals run by reverend fathers.

IDEKEALUMONA:
Very stupid my brother, and many with cow dung in their brains are unfortunately numerous in this forum.

I don't blame you foolz. I blame the failed Nigerian system that makes you lots go Scot free after killing many Nigerians with your quack practices.
I wish we are in a functional society! Many of you would have ended your miserable lives in jail.

A supposed doctor claimed that no drug can cause the death of patients orderwise such drugs won't be licensed, and you're here supporting him. That only reveals your level of ignorance as well. I won't start giving you examples of licensed prescription drugs that can cause instant death when used wrongly. You don't deserve such enlightenment from me.

dohyn:
You are irredeemably stupid.

Tell that to your father!

Illiterate "dokita"
God forbid that I refer a patient to your type!

Ewu!

dohyn:
As expected, Doctors are the convenient scapegoat. It just baffles me how supposedly educated Nigerians seem to lack brain cells when it comes to matters of health.
What kind of injection causes one to "freeze to death"? Do you think that drug would exist and yet, be medically licensed to use?
Just watch and see how the internet will be awash with this story and people who don't think will swear it's the truth.

My condolences to her loved ones.

Update; just read that the cause of death might likely have been due to a clot. That seems more plausible. Still an autopsy will answer all questions.

So you don't know that some drugs when wrongly used or when used on the wrong person can cause instant death of the patient


Chai! naija dokitas oo

ambu2:
And somebody would blame Buhari for going to UK.

May her soul rest in peace.

Buhari has failed to do the right thing in our health sector, so he should be blamed!

crossfm:
Poverty is a bastard.guys pls husle oo make them no bring your matter here as a refrence point.
Back to the topic.He is a man and naturally should be attracted to a lady.I envy his courage.atlist he has poured out his mind,it's now her option to say yes or no.
We see rich guys date and marry poor girls everyday.

Honestly ehn, the thing taya person o

A rich guy would stoop to marry a poor lady but ladies would never do that.

This is why I pity some guys that put their studies on the line to "hustle" and sponsor one yeye girl in school. The girl eventually will graduate with very good grade and land some great job while our hustling brother is still "hustling". Then the girl will carefully dump his assz for a well established man.

oyatz:
If they had supported GEJ, many of them wouldn't be what they eventually became.
For instance, Dino would never have been a Senator if he had stay in PDP in 2015.

These politicians are smarter than you think, understand and practice the law of self preservation than you.

Saraki would have lost Kwara State since 2015 and would never have been Senate President.

Kwankwanso would have lost relevance by losing Kano to Hurricane Buhari since 2015.

These politicians understand politics far more than you.


#Theyknewwhattheyweredoing

You're politically naive!

If not for those northern PDP politicians ehn, Buhari wouldn't have smelt ASO rock. Those men (Kwankwaso, Tambuwal, Atiku, Saraki, Dino etc) were the people that handed power to Buhari! If they had remained in PDP without collapsing their structures into what's now known as APC, not even a thousand Tinubu and his over hyped media prowess would have made Buhari win. Even Buhari understands that fact.

Dino and the other Northern PDP heavyweights just decided to shoot themselves on the foot by their actions prior to the 2015 election. If they had been patient with Jonathan and supported him to win the 2015 election, by now Atiku would have effortlessly become president while Dino would probably have become governor of kogi state. But no, they rather decided to retire themselves politically thinking that it'll be easy to recover power from APC.

DonBenny77:
Too much rubbish.
Simple if you sleep with an infected girlfriend without protection, you will contact and so it is sexually transmitted.

Your ignorance seems incurable!
But I know you have learnt one or two things from me today.
You're just too arrogant to swallow your pride and thank me.

DonBenny77:
You are just more confused than I thought I never mentioned staph. I said staphilococus infection all along and I insist it is sexually transmitted among a lot of other ways like kissing, body contact with someone infected, sweating or sharing stuff.
If a lady has staphilococus infection and you sleep with her you go catch even if you use a condom. One can contact via body contact and sweating.
Your mumu plenty sha it's not by plenty grammar oh!
So you mean if you sleep wit a lady that has staphilococus infection without condom you won't contact.
Abi is it "sexually transmitted" that is confusing you like this. Take note I never said it is contacted only via sex.

Typical Nigerian ignoramus!
Instead of accepting your obvious ignorance, you're still arguing with me!
Let me continue to educate you sha...

There are bacterial infections that are typically classified as STDs like gonorrhea, syphillis, Clamydia etc. Such infections are typically spread through sexual intercourse with infected persons. They have higher chances of being spread through sexual contact regardless of the person's immune system.

Yes, you can have intercourse with a lady who has staph on some parts of her body and not be infected provided your immune system is strong and you do not have open wound that may come in contact with infected parts of her body. Besides, the acidity of the vagina and the presence of other bacteria that help protect the vagina may not support the growth of staph in the vagina, even when it may be thriving on other parts of her body surface.

Staph mostly break into the body through things like open wound, infected needles and other medical devices like catheter, IUD and unsterilized surgical devices, as well as ingestion of improperly cooked infected meat and poultry/dairy products especially in the case of MRSA.

culturedboss:
Na ITK dey worry you so.

This is not ITK!

Too many false information are being spread in Nigeria and some people have come to accept such fallacies as truth. Some other people take advantage of such lies to enrich themselves fraudulently!

It is therefore my duty as a patriotic Nigerian to debunk such lies whenever I see them especially on social media like this.

So, in case you see a boy of 8years old who is diagnosed with staph infection, don't think it is abnormal!

culturedboss:
S
Miseducation of naija youth's even as the internet has been made easily accessible yet many can't made good use of it.
Staphylococcus is a bacteria that can cause sexually transmittible diseases.(STDs)
Argue with yourself.

Read my post above and gain some knowledge!

DonBenny77:
Shut up you ignoramus, what do know or what have you experienced? because your read and digested crab from one "i too know doctor". The number of people suffering from MRSA is on the rise in Nigeria and is spreading fast. You are here talking rubbish that you heard from someone. Google MRSA........
That's how you foolishly spread rubbish you know nothing about.
Toilet infections and gonorrhea and other stds if not properly treated leads to staphilococus infection. Therefore it is sexually transmitted.
You think you know more than those trades shouting from year to year, you think if it was scam they would still be in business?

Idiotic slowpoke!!! Instead of paying attention to learn the details about the organism, you googled some half truth about MRSA and now hold such as a fact about staph!
Staph on its own is not a sexually transmitted infection like your trado medical practitioners make it appear! It is in fact, one of the normal bacterial flora that can be found on the body of even animals and humans who aren't sexually developed.
It only becomes a problem when it breaks the immune barriers of the body and enters the blood circulation, in that case it weakens the immune system and cause opportunistic infections. It can break into the body through several ways and not necessarily through sexual contact.

Methicillin-resistant staph aureus is just a strain of staph aureus that is resistant to the antibiotics- methicillin. It is also spread through several ways including through consumption of improperly cooked infected chickens and poultry products. It is not necessarily spread through sexual contact alone as to warrant being classified as an STD.
So, stop blaming your girlfriend for your staph infection and own up to the fact that you're a dirty pig who can't maintain cleanliness.

Now, the above information which I have passed to your ignorant self is some conc knowledge stored in the deepest part of my cerebrum not some halfhearted info from google. So, pay me for the tutorial!

Just few months ago, the foolish Benin people attacked and killed some Nigerian guys doing business in their hellish country!
And someone is saying we should open our borders for such ungrateful people

Nonsense! Let the damn borders remain closed!

DonBenny77:
Chai all these girls with staphilococus infection oh!
Did you skin dive?

Staphylococcus is not a sexually transmitted disease!
I don't blame you, our fake trado medical practitioners have made uninformed Nigerians to believe that "staph" is an STD. With their constant shouts of "staph!" "staph!'', they spread falsehood about the organism.

Too many fake traditional medicine vendors in Nigeria!!!

Rubyventures:
I am thinking the same thing, we need more students studying agriculture. not after studying medicine and engineering with any practicals end up text book graduate that cant even change a car tyre.

Encourage your own children to study agriculture nau

fados4sure:
I put it to you that you're a liar

Only you knows a lot of Chemistry graduate? I repeat that you're a liar

Of all the course listed by the op, the most lucrative course there is Chemistry & Applied Chemistry reason because they have career prospect in majorly all field like, Teaching, Hospital, Pharmacy, Chemical Industries, Petroleum Industries, Food Processing Industries, Water Treatment Plants and the list is endless.

I'm speaking as a Chemistry Graduate as well

Chemistry graduate? and where are you working??


@Op, let your sister wait and write JAMB again. Don't let anybody deceive you!

Congratulations to you!

The truth is that you might even be more knowledgeable than some of your mates with first class.

Please don't let the result of your first degree affect your self esteem. Go on with your PhD and make sure your works are well published on reputable journals. You'll definitely get a lecturing job.

I know that uninformed people might want to look down on you because of your 3rd class degree, but don't let that bother you. You'll always meet people like myself who understand that examination is not a true test of knowledge. Such people will appreciate what you have to offer currently without recourse to your first degree.

edoairways:
Jonathan(Bayelsa indigene) stands the chance of getting admission with a score of 220 than Adeleke an indigene of Ogun state who scored 280. Both applicants applied to study Medicine at OAU but the former name will be considered for admission

Yeah. Same applies to UNN and I think all such mediocre considerations should stop. Students should be subjected to same standards and none should have the goalpost lowered for them.

This is a good development. That catchment area policy is not good at all for our university system.
A university is supposed to be a community of people from different backgrounds and nationalities.
Indigenization of universities encourages mediocrity and causes a decline in quality of outputs.
Kudos to Buhari on this one!

That big head at birth thing is a fat lie! I know some big heads who don't know Jack!
Rather its the one with normal size head that I've seen very intelligent example my Sis son, he's 4, very smart and intelligent for his age. He can solve simple tense and unit by himself. Just show him something once or twice he'll grab abd his head was and is still not big. Even me,I wasn't born with a big head but I be efiko...forget.

Most of the things up there are not factual.

Having a big head is a true indicator of intelligence, however the head has to be sharpened and not be filled with too much rubbish in order for it to be fully utilized.

Mrpsly247:
U're wired all wrong... No drug is worth killing anyone . there are countries where all drugs are allowed and they have sane environment in those places....

Like seriously

Do you know that most criminals do not have the courage to commit crime when they're in their right senses?

lexy2014:
Is d punishment for selling tramadol in Cameroon death?

I'm not in support of the manner the guy was killed. He should have been arrested and prosecuted in a court of law..

I replied the guy I quoted because his post made it seem like the victim didn't commit any offence by selling TM.

hammerD:
Have u taken Tramadol before?

If u havent, i have.

Now let me educate u, since u are lacking in understanding.

Tramadol is a medication. That we both agree.

Tramadol is not an illegal drug like Cocaine

Tramadol is prescriptive drug that you can buy if prescribed by your Doctor.

Where do you go to buy Tramadol? Phamacy.

The man runs a Pharmacy. Where did he break the law, that is if Cameroon have any law?

I will not reply you again, becos I have better things to do with my time.

You are a small boy with little knowledge! I'm sure you don't even know the different strengths of Tramadol available let alone knowing how the drug works, its side effects and legal status. So, no need arguing with you!

I can bet my life to the fact that that man is NOT a pharmacist and so has no right to sell such drug.

BLACKS ARE THE LOWEST FORM OF ANIMAL.


U CAN IMAGINE MILITARY GOING TO CARRY UNARMED CIVILIAN FROM HIS PLACE OF WORK, WHO IS NOT A THREAT TO THEM AND SHOOTING HIM DEAD.



IS THERE NO LAW IN CAMEROON?



WAT HAPPEN TO POLICE ARREST AND CHARGE TO COURT?



SO CAMEROON ARMY JUST GO ROUND PICK UNARMED PEOPLE FROM THEIR PLACE OF WORK AND KILL DEM.



LET ME ASK IS TRAMADOL PAIN KILLER NOW COCAINE?


PEOPLE WITH BACK PAIN TAKE TRAMADOL, IS IT A CRIME FOR PHARMACY TO HAVE TRAMADOL MEDICINE?

You are totally ignorant!

Tramadol is an opioid analgesic and is a prescription only medication.
It should normally be sold in a pharmacy by a trained and licensed pharmacist upon prescription by a doctor. But these wicked drug dealers sell it to just anybody without prescription and they are not qualified pharmacists.

Tramadol is powerful CNS drug that can trigger multiple effects including euphoria and feeling of 'highness'. People don't know, but that drug is more powerful than weed in making one high. Criminals take it before operation to blunt their human feelings so they can act like animals.

The guy probably thought he was in Nigeria where they sell the drugs with reckless abandon with government doing nothing about it.

We have a very big problem in this country and the government is not doing much about it.

Drugs are poisons that can kill as much as they can save. There's so much ignorance about the dangers of drugs in this country. People think that Orthodox drugs are same as their traditional "agbo" and "Jedi" that they use indiscriminately.

There's a reason why the developed countries strictly regulate drugs use. They know the dangers that can arise from a poorly regulated drug market. Our political leaders seem to be totally ignorant of these dangers hence they show less political will in regulating our drug market. We have governmental bodies supposedly saddled with the responsibilities of such regulations but they are mostly incapacitated due to poor funding and lack of drastic legal backing to carry out their jobs.

If our drug market was properly regulated, youths wouldn't easily have access to drugs like tramadol and the rest and incidences like the one in this post won't be so rampant.

I just love this guy! Very generous and good spirited unlike his other colleagues.

Still waiting for Mikel and co to sponsor even if it just one person in secondary school...lol

You go wait taya

The expulsion was in order. No university would like to be associated with students whose sex videos are all over the internet.

If you must have sex, don't record the act let alone posting to the internet
