YourHealthlabs: Hahahahah, emotions..emotions. I won't let you mislead people here.

Your sources are good, they are also from the American Medical Association..great.

You forgot forgot to give us a link about the Nigerian-trained physicians percentage in the U.S and Canada.

Let me show you something, an independent source.

"It is a fact that of all the IMG's that come to Canada, 90-95% will not obtain a residency. The few that do, do so, after either years and years of trying, or, because they know people in high places who 'pull strings' for them".-source http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/img-canadian-read-this-please.469613/

another excerpts

"Consider Sajith Abeyawickrama, 37, who was a celebrated anesthesiologist in his native Sri Lanka. But here in the United States, where he came in 2010 to marry, he cannot practice medicine."


The biggest challenge is that an immigrant physician must win one of the coveted slots in America’s medical residency system, the step that seems to be the tightest bottleneck.

The whole process can consume upward of a decade — for those lucky few who make it through.- source

Nigerian docs are very good at rubbishing other guys professional qualifications but they forget that M.B.B.S is not an international standard for doctors. With your Nigerian M.B.B.S, you won't be allowed to touch a dog in an advanced country. I'm sorry that's the way it is.


'Lots of people think mbbs is their ticket to immigration elsewhere, or their ticket to the Big Bucks. It is neither! First, mbbs is at best a third-rate qualification, and it's being supplanted by MD, the international standard. The only places with any real shortage of medical professionals are impoverished third world countries - like Pakistan, Bangladesh, most African countries, etc"-source--https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131105072323AA1XKYs


I have more but let me stop here for now.

Let's always say the truth.

That residency, which typically involves grueling 80-hour workweeks, is required even if a doctor previously did a residency in a country with an advanced medical system, like Britain or Japan. The only exception is for doctors who did their residencies in Canada.

Tytto: Thank You for telling him oooo. .

YourHealthlabs: This is the only reasonable post here,

YourHealthlabs: Stop threatening the guy with 'if we leave'.
There are Nigerian docs in U.S yes..but most were trained there. The chances of any foreign doc passing USMLE and practicing there is just 3%, for American-trained docs it's 97%.

Tytto: Will i take my village along? That 25% you are talking about did they carry their own villages along too?. That your 25% also, how long did it take them to be tru for employment there or where they gatemen for some time? but i can realistically tell you that as at today, if a nurse get there today based on the syllabus here by next week they would start working minus carrying a Nigeria over celebrated certificate that would get you outside to be a gateman or at least 3-4 years before you could be fit to practise. GENTLEMAN, we are not fighting all we are saying is that we should be focused on our patients than becoming a tyrants to other health team members.

Chillisauce: My sister, the reasoning of some nairalanders. They will just read only the topic and pounce on the poster not minding to read across the message.

Nice points at Op, sometimes people do somethings unknowingly. Need to check these things out and continue with life, adjust where needed . Just like a typical advice you get from churches or family members.

Keep your head up, don't let some frustrated beings get to you.

Tytto: If not for the Nigerian government that is over celebrating them, release them all to go to the western world and let see who certificates are more recognise. Let see who will first get employed, is it the "Nurses" or "the Nigerian over- hype doctors".

Doc. Adray:
Yeah, well...
The weekend is moving fine.

Doc. Adray:
Okay, I am 'priding' in you...
Oh! Sorry, I meant I'm proud of you!

Doc. Adray:
Thats nice.

Ermmm... Pictures of you in Sudan saving the children, or... you know the rest nah. lol

Gombs: God is not a transmission line

if u sent ur child on an errand wiith details... and he flouted the instruction, or did not follow ur instructions.. who is the problem? the receiving end or the originator of the instruction?

Doc. Adray:
I'm fine. You?

Doc. Adray:
LOL,

I no fit laff abeg...
*covers face*

There is always God’s Word for every situation, and we should also know that God is always ready to answer our prayers; the problem is always on the receiving hand.

Ceasar1: That's the problem with weaklings - YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MAN.

Life isn't a fairy tale and neither is “falling in love“. Learn to protect your relationship or else you'd find yourself moving on - ALWAYS.

Imprida: am already crushing on you

mannyiyke: U dat just got admission via direct entry last yr are talking. U're not even sure weda u'll pass ur 2nd MBBS exam let alone be a med dr. Speak out 4 d truth, bro.

bumfem: Post like this makes one feel concern and sad for this nation. A so called doc saying lab result must conform with presenting symptoms or order a repeat. What if it doesn't conform. There are several dx conditions presenting alike hence u need to differentidly diagnose. In modern med practice lab investigation is one of the major tools to diff diagnose. U may have had an impression base on your Hx taking and some sign and symptoms but lab investigation enhance and drive ur conclusion.
The reason lab reports are always gold standard in many dx condition.

I keep saying it. Let us be conscious of what we post in here. Do not say what comes to ur head bc u want to make a point.

Lagusta: thats a blatant lie, even if a senior resident/consultant in chemical pathology/microiology brings an erroneous result, it will still be under scrutiny by the consultant clinician, not all doctors are dumb you know!!!

hensben: nah!if only i can upload her photo make u see beauty not this artificial beauty,u know, this is social forum, after all, she is not a celebrity like cr7 babe.
