prettyprettywow: tell me where a Dr has been sued. also tell me you have not seen cases where nurses are sued. What nigerian Drs do is shift blame to others like nurses. how many times have they actually taken responsibility for their actions without blaming the nurses? They are very good at covering up their atrocities and havig the CMD protect them

Bro ur level of ignorance is legendary. U must be a nurse wit inferiority complex

prettyprettywow: You forgot that these are salaries of specialist Doctors(consultants) with over 12yrs of education and average of $300k in student loan (for US Drs) as compared to the salaries of an entry level nurse ( 4yrs degree and less than $50k student loanfor US graduates)). You fail to realize that in US, resident Drs earn an average of $45k, quite below the salary of the least hospital worker. So when they say Drs aern 200k, know that they are talking about consultants, and if you wanna compare with nurses, talk about nurse practitioners where some specialist nurse practitioners earn more than some specialist Drs e.g Anaesthetic nurses (CRNA) earn more than family physicians. Our Drs want to reap where they did not sow.

Besides, nobody is asking to earn same salary as Drs. That has never been the issue

Myopic view. Just shows ur level of ignorance

humnsikan: This is getting too much. These
doctors have turned our hospitals
into death traps by their refusal to
humble themselves and recognize
and appreciate the expertise of
other healthcare professionals and the roles they play in healthcare delivery. One of their grouses, I've learnt, is about the recent go ahead the FG and National Assembly have given, which allows Pharmacists, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Medical Laboratory Scientists, and Radiographers who have reached a certain professional level in their respective fields to be appointed consultants in those fields.
This is so selfish of the doctors and
born out of envy. The doctors cannot bring themselves to see someone else being called Consultant. This is similar to professors of Engineering
proceeding on Strike because a
Senior Lecturer of Law is to be
appointed as professor of Law, NOT ENGINEERING. Imagine the
disconnect! Doctors should put aside this arrogance of theirs and emulate their peers in civilized climes who see healthcare delivery as teamwork,
not a one-man show to the
detriment of the patient. Without
proper care by way of nursing,
perform all the surgery you can conceive of, the patient will still die. Need I say that medicine is like a container and drugs the content? Pour out the
content and the container is useless! Perform all the surgery and reach every diagnoses, but withhold the drugs or administer them inappropriately, and the patient will still die or be permanently handicapped. No wonder we have so many drug related deaths (courtesy doctors who refuse to see and appreciate the importance of other healthcare professionals). In fact, in some states in the US, the doctor is not allowed to unanimously write prescriptions; either a clinical pharmacist or clinical pharmacologist must be there to guide the physician. This guys use complex pharmacokinetic equations to predict blood levels of potentially toxic drugs; thereby, avoiding medication-related problems and ensuring safety and efficacy, for the overall good of the patient. This is a sane society where human lives a placed above narrow ambitions and envy.
Need I also say that for confirmatory diagnosis to be made, Laboratory or Radiographic results are needed, which falls into the jurisdiction of Med. Lab. Scientists and Radiographers. Many deaths would have been avoided if some of this doctors ever bothered to confirm their preliminary or tentative diagnosis by ordering for laboratory tests. Yet you see them covering up
these avoidable deaths with medical jargons. Some of these doctors are very corrupt, but it is we the masses that suffer at the end of the day.
Doctors are truly a blessing to
humanity, but, like everything in
Nigeria, it is being taken over by
some charlatans. No one forced
anyone to study any course,
including medicine; so they should
not bother us with all these
shenanigans of theirs. In fact, they
are currently among the highest
earning government workers.

listen guy, its better u don't coment much on wat u don't know about. Those other health workers cannever become consultants cos they don't have d necessary education for dat. if they wanna become consultants, den dey shuld go to medical skool and see aw though it is. Am sure u will nt lay urself down for a consultant Nurse or lab technician to perform surgery on you!!!

I am so proud of my School. Months after winning the Dokita Quiz(Biannual Nigerian Medical School Quiz), College of Medicine, University of Ilorin emerged victorious again. This time it was in the Annual Professor Ojuawo Intercollegiate Quiz Competition.

Five Schools challenged Ilorin for the bragging rights. They included OAUTH, LTH, BUTH, LASUTH and LUTH.

Though there were just five Medical schools, these were representative of Best Medical schools in Nigeria.

University of ilorin, college of medicine(UITH) emerged winners amid fierce competition.

Congratulations UITH.

This condition is called Galactorrhoea. it is milky secretion from d breasts not due to breast-
feeding.

Galactorrhoea is much more common in women than
in men. In women it may be physiological but in men
it is always pathological.
About a fifth of women with galactorrhoea have
pituitary tumours but this rises to around a third if they
have amenorrhoea too.

CAUSES
It can be either Physiological or Pathological.

Physiological causes:
1. Pregnancy and post-lactation: women may lactate
from the second trimester, and may continue to
produce milk up to 2 years after stopping breast-
feeding.
2. Fluctuating hormone levels: puberty and the
menopause.

Nonphysiological causes:
1. Prolactinomas
2. Drugs. lyk contraceptives, cimetidine, antihypertensives, illicit drugs, etc
3. Other endocrine disorders:
a. Hypothyroidism
b. Acromegaly
c. Cushing's disease
d. Chronic renal failure, liver failure.

3. Chest wall irritation or other irritation at the breast level for example: injury, shingles,
atopic eczema, burns, breast surgery, tight-
fitting clothes. etc.

these Are some of d causes of galactorrhea. So please before u start suspecting her, advice her to see d doctor If u can.
