Threebear:
It was , but I don't know the kind of luck kiddwaya has .
Anytime he's in a group with someone that person ends up losing.

mediocre:
But malaria has similar symptoms with some other ailments.

You can only get differentials from the symptoms, you need an actual test to be sure of what exactly to treat

tsquaure:
All my favourite people won something today except Nengi . But don't worry darling Nengi you are doing ok

innocentdude:
Maybe cause prince read from the pamphlet and gave out more info that's why Team 2 won ?

Other than that nothing special there, they had too many errors and misrepresentations .


Anyways, on to the next one .

Bunsenbun:
i Know virtually all one needs to know concerning hiv,as i had read the ges course thoroughly,partly because it was interesting and partly because it was compulsory.Coming to say people get to hiv2 in a malaria discussion,only shows she/he/ze is just chasing clout.I am not a doctor but i see their struggles.

Akorkor:
True!! A lot of times I chat up with my doctor when I was even pregnant to prescribe something for me after telling him all the symptoms because it may be in the middle of the night. Then next morning I go physically to hospital for checkup.

Doctor call is in - thing now.

Malaria drug is OTC and is nothing new. I didn’t watch the commercial so I can’t give my ratings

However, amartem advert shows only one guy that was shivering and was even scared of injection before he was prescribed malaria drug.

With this, I don’t know which team fit that

larride:
Team 2 won.

It was too obvious.

Brubembem:
Kidd actually don't see Ozo as rival, but same can't be said of Ozo.

This life sha! Kidd is just free spirited.

IgANephropathy:
Lol, you can start with mydokita or Doctorcare247.

Honestly, i am not an advovate of over the phone physician care. But the world is evolving and its the next phase of medicine.

Bunsenbun:
Threebear's ignorance on this subject matter is appalling not to say the least.People get to HIV 2?,did she even read up her "sexual and reproductive health" properly?.Malaria drugs are otc's and i remember attending one of coartem's sponsored smart self medication event.

Temi231:
Please ignore. You spent 7 years studying this and someone that doesn't even know anything want to lecture you about your job?

Maybe he doesn't know there is poverty in the land and not everyone can afford ordinary malaria test.
I have been to different angle of the world and sometimes MD don't conduct some test if the symptoms you shows its so obvious unless as a patient you actually want to confirm before prescription. Doctor visit alone in US is $100 not testing oh. Now if you want to carry out some test you know how much that is.

Nigeria is cheap but people can't still afford it

Once again, kindly ignore

Threebear:
[s]Did you even read what I wrote or you just want to argue baselessly .

Did you see where I mentioned chemist shops etc

If you must represent something do it well .


Hospitals are not for assumptions .

I still repeat that a doctor that treats a patient without testing should have his license revoked .

This is why a lot of people got to HIV 2 because they met irresponsible doctors that treated them for malaria when a simple test would have shown their actual ailment.[/s]

IgANephropathy:
Smiles....a lot of ignorance embedded in your post but i’ll enlIghten you. I’m in a good mood. Lol

You say you’ve attended hospitals where tests where done before you were treated. That is not abnormal and that is even recommended especially in private centres where as a doctor you make money for your institution. Working in a teaching hospital, I have learnt to understand my patient and learn empathy towards their pocket. The NCDC and Min of Health encourages prompt RDT before treatment of malaria but allows treatment commenced when you identify the classical symptoms: Fever, headache, chills and rigor. As a patient, you are also allowed to self commence as much as you contact your doctor on the 3rd of use if no changes.

I guess you want to educate me on differentials of malaria...lmao. I spent 8 months reading Robbins and Cortrans reading on all pathologic conditions known to man. I am sure I would name 40 other conditions before you get to 5. So rest.

Educate yourself on the paragraph about losing one’s license. It’s ludicrous. As a medical student in Africa, you are drilled on making clinical diagnosis without the help of investigations. Its our strength and why we are admired all over the world. If you think MDCN would take my license for doing something i am paid to do, you are the one needing a CT Scan then.

Your last paragraph shows your mentality. Nigerian doctors are sought after across the world. Bring cases of anyone denying his/her patients confidentiality without being punished. We are cherished every where due to our lack of dependence on investigations and ridiculed in Nigeria for it. Shame

QueenCookie:
I have never taken OTC medication on malaria without ascertaining if it's truly malaria and the severity of it(+,++...) at medical laboratories...

Bookworm001:
Don't mind that kinematics guy, he may look like an idiot, and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you, he is really an idiot

Threebear:
[s]I'm not a doctor , so I can't even begin to argue this but everytime I've gone to a hospital even for something as common as a headache , the doctors has insisted on testing .

The only place I get malaria prescriptions without testing are chemist shops or independent pharmacies .

And there are host of diseases that have malaria-like symptoms .
HIV for one can often come with malaria-like symptoms two weeks after infection .

Hepatitis a also has malaria-like symptoms at the initial stage.

I don't know about you , but a doctor who just recommends a prescription simply because the disease is supposedly an endemic is highly irresponsible and should lose his medical license.

But then again , you say this only happens in Nigeria .
A country where patient confidentiality isn't even respected .
I guess anything goes .

mycar:
Not advisable in a professional settings to prescribe without lab test, if you must do that, you must tell them that if symptoms persist after two days, the patient should see a doctor but team two seem to haves changed their script.

IgANephropathy:
Lol, I am not cerebral. Just the benefit of having a medical degree.

IgANephropathy:
Malaria is endemic in Nigeria. Peculiar symptoms are likely to be malaria than any ailment. As a doctor, especially in rural settings, you prescribe antimalarials if your patient presents with classic symptoms even without tests (especially high risk patients: Pregnant women and Under 5 children). Although the mass introduction of RDTs by the Fed Govt has made test easier, even though that itself isn’t reliable.

My point is: you can prescribe antimalarials without investigation in Nigeria.

stroller9795:
Tells alot about you!

EmmyCC:
They are depicting A Covid period and Malaria shares similar symptoms as malaria. It's only right they do the test.

You dey mind them. This is why they are her. And then someone will tell me she is not intelligent. PRince, on the other hand, is too forward. As someone said earlier, he has watched this big brother a lot and he tries to predict.
