finally, let's call a spade a spade. |
Why am I not surprised? Like the first two comments though |
The capitalist dream; high demand, sole ownership and patent, limited supply and scarcity= plenty money. |
what does playstore tell you? |
Onegai: For the love of God and please protect us, call 080-EBOLAHELP and tell them where they are. don't let selfishness kill tens of thousands. Abeg, please, we are in danger. Call and tell the authorities where they are. Each they those people hide, they infect more.Selfishness? No, it's frustration. Last week, I got information about a patient who recently traveled and had some of these symptoms from two market women. I begged and eventually got the relatives number. The relatives preferred home treatment due to financial constrain. I pleaded with them to take the man to hospital, they refused. I called the health department in Abuja and was repeatedly transferred to different individuals until I was referred to the state health officer. When I told him ably the situation, he told me that since the man refused medical attention there was nothing he could do. This was after one hour of my credit wasted. I gave up at that point. The man later died. And someone will later tell me that I'm selfish and greedy rather than call the government to order |
OH MY GOODNESS |

Mexyz: If you know you had a contact with the said persons and you are on nl reading this, pls report yourself to the appropriate authorities bikonu. God help us.For what? On channelsTv over the weekend, when the commissioner was asked how isolation was to be done he said the patients were given thermometers to check their temperatures themselves and told to stay at home, plus to eat good food. Do toy know how difficult it is to keep someone against his or her will for how many days, against their will? The two that's I know have run away from Lagos. Every one is afraid. |

The bottom line is that we cannot provide the requisite expertise needed to manage these confirmed and probable cases. But I thought you said doctors have volunteered to help out.

the following was said on April 9th, 2014. “Nigeria is ready, because the Ministry has taken every precaution, including getting the vaccines and medicines in case there was any incident in Nigeria." Minister of Information, Labaran Maku “If there were vaccines, government will certainly buy a stock and keep. There is no specific treatment.” Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu |
I'm so angry right now. don't believe what the government says. they keep saying they are doing contact tracing but the sister of the matron that died had her children with the matron and now the children are back home with their mother |

Striking doctors offer to treat Ebola patients AUGUST 5, 2014 BY BUKOLA ADEBAYO Leave a Comment Striking doctors in Lagos State have volunteered to join the team of experts managing patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Yaba, Lagos. The chairman, Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Tope Ojo, who said this at a press briefing in Lagos on Tuesday, added that strike would not stop doctors in the state from attending to persons suspected to have contracted the Ebola virus. Ojo said about 30 of its members had volunteered to join seven of the Ebola Emergency Response and Management Committee working on the prevention and control of the disease at the IDH centre in Yaba. He said, “Strike or no strike, we must respond to emergencies. Our doctors are at Mainland Hospital, Yaba, were isolated contacts are being monitored. There are seven committees working on the management of the disease at the centre in Lagos, which our members are part of. “But the committee, where we are having challenges getting volunteers, is case management. This are the people that work directly with confirmed cases. “Look at the protective measures that doctors in Liberia and Guinea wear. They are well protected, yet some of them still caught it. Our doctors are worried about the danger it poses to their lives and they need to be reassured. “We understand their fears and we are making moves to confirm the level of preparedness of the government for doctors.” He informed that the infected doctor, who is presently on admission at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was responding to treatment. “We know that the infected doctor is stable, however, the matron is in a critical condition. But everybody, including the experts from the World Health Organisation, is doing all they can,” he said. A member of one of the of the committees, Dr. Babajide Saheed, said the doctors were working closely with the WHO and other stakeholders to contain the risk of the spreading the infection. Saheed said, “Not all doctors can attend to an Ebola patient. In fact you must limit the number of health workers treating affected persons just to contain the risk. “We will be escalating the situation if doctors rush to Mainland Hospital just to attend to patients.” http://www.punchng.com/news/striking-doctors-offer-to-treat-ebola-patients/ |
How long ago did you come back? |
prettyprettywow: it exists oo. In Uk, they are all called consultant. Drs and nurses. It just shows that you are a specialist in your field. Hence they put your title before and after the the word consultant. USA do not use the title consultant, they have their own special name (attending, APRN/specialist nurses). Since Nigeria is using the same word as the UK, why will it be restricted to Drs alone? And yes, they have been doing the same work, they just want recognition and appreciation for services renderedthis is from the link which you posted and i thanked you earlier for. I really think that one should be careful to assume where the shoe pinches on someone else's feet! I have practiced in Nigeria and now in the US and as strongly as I have felt about the state of the healthcare system in Nigeria, I have refrained from making sweeping statements. The health system in Nigeria is not the same as that in the UK or US. Nurses in the US can become Nurse Practitioners after doing a doctorate and do see patients but they are not called Consultants. Physician assistants love their jobs because they get to see patients but their is still oversight from a physician. You may provide consulting services to an insurance company but that does not make you a medical consultant the way the term consultant is used in Nigeria. In all, we should remember that team work is what makes a healthcare system work. The FG has conveniently used the current state of animosity to foster divisions and the members keep seeing evil in each other instead of joining hands to fight for a sustainable health system for everyone to work together without fear and for the good of the patient. Remember you also could be a patient one day and all you would want is the best hands treating you. Hospital administration: hot issue. In the US, many hospitals are out to make money and the CEO may not be a doctor. However, there are executive medical directors who are physicians and in charge of the medical side of things. In Nigerian State Hospitals, there is no fracas about who is in charge, I suspect many of these issues occur in our teaching hospitals, and I may be wrong....... There is a DA in charge of Administration,a CMAC in charge of clinical services and the CMD is the equivalent of the EMD here. If there is a board to whom the CMD is answerable,it allows for checks and balances and helps everyone feel they have voice. I am not sure that the clamor to be CMD by ancillary staff is legitimate based on the healthcare system we run in Nigeria. It's just a different chain of command as compared to what obtains in the US where you have a CEO who usually is someone with a Healthcare MBA, who actually sometimes is also a doctor. One last point, every profession has value. If you see value in what you do, you are content within its provisions for career development and seek to excel at it. If you are a nurse, nurse with all your heart;a doctor,be your best at your profession, a lab scientist , produce consistent accurate results, a pharmacist,help in picking up drug errors and we can all ensure a safe system for patients. |
4llerbuntu: Leopantro, the lenovo rep oya over to you o. u have a customer to market to. convince himlol.

bumfem: The patient is not property of anybody. It is absurd to say Consultant physician own the patient. Nobody own the patient in 21st century health care delivery. The organogram of medical care see Patients occupying the middle position with all health professionals including physician surrounding in a networking pattern. The focus is on the patient. It is system that never give room to any ownership of anybody. You are called to play whenever your expertise is required.the consultant owns the patient but not in the construct you put it. all over the world, the standard practise is you present at a hospital,you are seen by a doctor who determines your line of management. if enquires are made about your healthcare, you are directed to that hospital and to that doctor. if the doctor determines he requires a specialist input, he would refer you to a consultant. when the need of the consultant is complete, he will transfer your case back to the first doctor that saw you. that is the concept of ownship and is also why when you are asked to get a medical report for any requirement, you are asked to get a doctor to sign it because it is assumed he is in charge of all your health related issues. in south africa, the nurses are so well taught about health issues that they can write and dispense antihypertensive drugs. i was so happy when i heard it because they know the signs, what to give and when to refer to the doctor when complications arise. so in that setting, i would support a consultant nurse and would work with them. but in nigeria, i so afraid of what nurses have done. some older nurses i respect but the others...... |
mez: Guy! How does it work?No codes or cheats. They buy in bulk at reduced rates and resell allocations to others. Like data sharing. |
i could be wrong but the agreement was that anyone can be a consultant. however, if you want to utilize the title in a hospital, you must be registered with MDCAN. |
He jumped the gun making that statement. Like most politicians, he tried to save face by claiming everything was in place to checkmate the entry of Ebola into the country. However, a VIP personnel with the virus was first flown to calabar then transferred to Lagos before dying. He came out again to claim that checkmates have been put in place to prevent it's spread. The next news was a corpse was transferred through the borders to a state that could still be effective. |
FALSE A person can have the virus without symptoms for 2-21 days, the average being 5 to 8 days before becoming ill. The person is not contagious until they are acutely ill. (Technically, if the person beside you does not look sick, he/she cannot infect you Is a Person Contagious During the Ebola Incubation Period? Even if a person exhibits no signs or symptoms of Ebola, he or she can still spread the virus during the Ebola incubation period. Once Ebola virus symptoms begin, the person can remain contagious for about three more weeks. [Url]http://ebola.emedtv.com/m/ebola/ebola-incubation-period.html[url] |
Will that solve the problem? The president swore to uphold life and provide security and eliminate corruption but he has failed woefully. Should we sack him? |
ibotjaycob: All the people saying he credited their account, that could be set up by friends. Dont trust no one here.Dude, you are a relic of a lost age. Keep your doubts to yourself. I am currently using three different plans from 3 different guys i came across on NL, gmcbz, everpro and this guy. I have never met them but i constantly send them credit to get data from them. Because i utilize them constantly, i get some bonus from them. If your fear would not allow you try something new, that your problem. But stop trying to destroy someone else business. |
