1) Let me start by telling why I didn't choose medicine. I didn't choose medicine for the money: I knew doctors were well paid alright but that wasn't a motivation. I didn't choose medicine for the perceived 'respect'- I always told myself that no matter the field I find myself, I would be distinctly different by making a name for myself no matter how small. I didn't choose medicine because I wanted to be a 'doctor'. While we grew up as kids, a whole lot of us wanted to be doctors. Same here. But that wasn't why I made the choice. If studying medicine would have landed me a non-doctor title/tag, I still would have studied it anyway.

I choosed medicine because it was challenging - from the onset. It was like a course reserved for the creme de la creme of excellent students. Getting in was challenging- you had to score very high to get in. Staying in is challenging- I heard how medical students are sent off to other depts if they fail their examinations. So that was the first motivation. I am a very adventurous person. I like to try different things - and I don't give up easily. So my journey into medicine was more like an adventure- a well calculated move.

I wanted to study medicine in Ife. That was my plan. My parents had a different plan. My mom felt I was too young to study medicine- she preferred I studied Anatomy first and after that I go to MBBS. That's being too choosy with words. She didn't want me to study medicine. My father wanted his first son to be an engineer. I still have an innate love for engineering though. I was perfect in Mathematics and the Sciences. I had all distinctions. According to him, such mental finesse shouldn't go to waste. So I had a big fight with satisfying both parents. In fact, that was the major reason I did A levels- to buy more time.

Secondly, my parents didn't want me to study outside Akwa Ibom State. It wasn't too long since my brother was murdered- so they couldn't bear the thought of their son leaving their reach. Whatever I had to do, had to be within Akwa Ibom State. Well, I filled Medicine in my UME form- without my parents knowing. It wasn't until Post-UME that they knew what I was up to. By then it was too late for anyone to do anything.

So I didn't even choose Medicine because my parents wanted me to. I choose medicine because it was what I wanted. Have you ever been in love you don't know why? Yeah that is what I mean!

The choice I made was based on the conviction I had - at the time the choice was made. And to me hat conviction, is very important.

2) If I had a chance to start all over again, I may not choose medicine. That is a fact. This does not in any way mean I have regrets. The part of Medicine I am not very convenient with is not being able to do so much outside your field. Medicine is indeed a calling- and once you're in, you're in. I still love Biomedical Engineering- I was considering it for postgraduate studies, but the market in Nigerian isn't ripe for such expertise. We're still struggling with Primary Health Care.

So asides that, if I were to choose another course, I'll study Applied Mathematics without looking twice.

I am of the belief that when it comes to career choice, any choice is fine. Provided you know what you are doing , you are comfortable with it, you are sure it's the right thing and you're ready to put in your best.

story for the gods

Timmytimmy:
I hope you don't mind me asking, 8 female children from one woman?
......lemme keep quiet before I get into trouble

Oh, btw.....good luck with your dreams dreams of being a doctor that is.

lol yea 8female children frm one woman

Whateva...em outof here cnt take people's bullsh*t
@gameboi never mind, ah got wat ah needed and probably dont need your contact anymore

Speaking of this your so called Glorified dentistry, as as well as the dental nursin you've mention, how many nurses have you seen or heard of speacializing in dental blh blah wateva?? None becoz its the bottom in the medical chain
its people like you who earn up working in banks and claim to have BDS and probably blame the government for unemployement

Hmmm nawaho o, is it becoz there's a specialty in nursing called dental nursing that gives you the right to call me foolish
I was only giving my own opinion and didnt insult anyone and you called me foolish ...Are you mad or something?

@preciousjoz...am not ignorant neither am i confuse, if i wanna do something i do it without listening to other people's opinion becoz listenin probably means you aint alway sure of what you want in life
besides like you said no time for childish arguement, but its the fact

@damo, no offence tho, but come on , you're a nigerian, how many people do you see comin to fix their teeth even tho it filthy rotten and decay?? Dentist only means of survival it to produce tooth paste which all seems the same, oralB came out now you've probably heard of a new toothpaste havent you?
Am serious a nurse, more better than any other health profession

Hmmmm back then during my secondary school days i thot entering uni was going to be simple little did i knw twas "survival of the fittest"
i wrote 2014/2015 jamb and post jamb, i applied for medicine in uniuyo but my name wasnt on the list, i applied again for medicine and surgery in uniuyo foundation program (thats pregree), stil waiting for the result but am hoping God answers my prayers by making me pass that exams tho twasnt tof but we had lots of competition with over hundreds of students applyin for medicine in the pregree program
so it seems am on the same boat with you guys tho sailing a different coast
my dream is to be in med school, get my mbbs and work as an obstetrician/gynaecologist and marry a girl from Abu dhabi or dubai and have 8 female children
sorry for intruding on oau predegree space

University teaching hospitals Nurses are being thot what medical students are being taught
the offer courses like
anatomy
physiology
biochemistry
microbiology
pharmacology
the do clinical rotation in various fields like ob/gyn, cardiology,pediatric,psychiatry,anaesthesiology, in order for them to choose a specialty
scrubs nurses can be a doctor's first assisstance in surgery, nurse anaesthsia can work and earn twice as much as a house officer
somtymz people get carried away by the M.D attached to names and the fames rather than sole aim of medicine
being a nurse doesnt mean you move around wipin butt and passing urine and faeces pan, you practice real medicine
so dont overlook little thingz cos you think the aint worth
a nurse far more better than being a physiologist,biochemist,anatomist radiologist and a dentist (no offence)

Serouly am shock that lilan and esthr where evicted,then whats hotshots all about??
imagine frankie,leaveda,ellah being saved, boring hotshots
something fishy about those votes and biggie

Those that applyt for Usmanu danfodio university sokoto are expected to resume for admission screenin as frm 20 of oct
imagine no post utme
hmm 2014/2015 aspirants are really lucky o, especially those that applied for the mbbs program

Gosh Asa is one in a million, DEAD AGAIN ah kip on repeatin the track
infact i had to buy all her songs
remember the first time i knew her was frm her song "jailer"

Medicine and surgery

Abegi o , i dont trust this american, how can the come to learn frm us wen the have everything first class
somthing fishy about their visit

Happy new month/independence day medicz

Em sorry @ whizzkid

@thewhizzkid, besidez that, wat mekz you think doctors are better than nurse?
Its the M.D attached to the name??
Wake up dude you're laggin behind, its people like you that end up scrubbin the OR of hospitals in the west

If you wannabe a doctor be a doctor if you wanna be a nurse be nurse
but wen strugglin for admission to be a doctor and you cant then think NURSING cos they're better than physiotherapist, antomist and a physiologist
if its surgery a nurse can be a doctor's first assistant durin surgery, prescription of drug,a nurse can do that
so in a clinical science world medicine and nursing are the core
the only difference between a doctor and nurse is the number of years the spend in schools
liecence-both doctors and nurses get them to practise
salaries:- both are being paid
place of work:- both are found within the four corners of the hospital building
a hospital isnt complete without a nurse but it is complete without anatomist,physiologist,physiotherapist,etc

Have you guys ever thot of nursing science or perhaps going to a nursing school cos as far iam concern after a doctor in a hospital the nurse is next, he/she can asssit during surgery (scrub nurse)
they're wide range of speacialties in nursing(cardiothoracic,orthopedic,paediatric, or even being a nurse aneasthesiologist who earns more than a houseman officer in hospitals
if you cant do mbbs,you might wonder consider nursing cos both med and nursing are clinical science
both are being thot biochem,microbio,anatomy and physiology like med students

He's hot no kiddin likewise our 9ja female housemate
hope africa tripp to keep them til day 91

Grey's anatomy(no.1 medical movie)
2 House
3 ER
watch those medical movies, you'll yearn to save lives and the fun in being a med students, intern,resident,and a surgeon
