Tinubu is nt an iresponsible leader like buhari, nigerians should endure and be patient wit him as i belive he is working very hard to make sure the hard time that nigerians are pasing through as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy removal (which have become very necessary) comes to and end. My opinon though

thebosstrevor1:
Peter obi has perfected the strategy of how to get sympathy from average joes if you are wealthy.

1. Carry your bag by yourself.
2. Fly economy class
3. Always discuss with the average joe
4. Wear the same type of clothes and shoes
5. Sit among the average joes even if you given a high table
6. Always take pictures with them.

Results = the average joe will think you are humble and a good person.

No problem bro. All the best, and I agree with whatever you think.

Life is going at a fast pace, and I have lost the zeal to sit on a non-productive issues, as I have a lot of bills to pay and mouth to feed.

God be for me and you and all other Medical Doctors and dental surgeons.

Over and out!

sgtponzihater1:


Treating the mouth and the mouth being part of the body does not make you a medical Doctor. The podiatrist is a Doctor for the feet, but not a medical Doctor. An optometrist is Doctor for the eyes, but it does not make him a Medical Doctor. Even a chiropractor. Dentist are doctors of the mouth and oral cavity, but do not make them medical Doctors.

The term medical doctor is exclusive for MBBS/MD/MBMbch graduates.

seunH:
Seconded, even from the name Nigerian Medical and Dental Council (MDCN), indicates that they are 2 different and separate entities "Medical" and "Dental" sharing the same council, if they were the same I don't think putting the dental would have been necessary, my thinking though!!

sgtponzihater1:


I have not said you are not a Doctor. You are a Doctor in Nigeria, because our laws permit it, in other countries you are a Dentist.

My point is a Dentist is not a Medical Doctor, and is not inferior to one.

All the best again for your future.

Emmy question still stands. If not for low self esteem, why not “My dental school experience “?

Sincerely, Dentistry is not for the faint hearted....
After all the serious reading I failed my 2nd BDS part A..... Omo it was terrible and destabilizing because I read and prepared for it for close to 2 years with the intention to get a distinction and yet I didn't pass it.... Well I'll be writing my resist in 3 months time and definitely I'll pass it this time.... By the way its going to be very tough for me because my mates will be preparing for 2nd MBBS while I'll be battling with 2nd BDS and MBBS..

Las las we go dey alright
Preparing for my 2ND MBBS......
Await my testimony in the grandest of style....

Hi, my name is Adnan, 200L Dental Surgery
student from ABU. I really have so many to ask concerning this very subject, personally. Please Doctor, can I have your whatsapp number or gmail address? This is mine adnanmusa090@gmail.com
Appreciates!

KillMNKnow:
Awesome! if they like let them all go to Saudi Arabia or fcking forcefully take them all away to north Korea for reeducation. They're filling like they're not Nigerian because of cramming drugs name and guessing symptoms and diseases. I prefer google to fcking mediocre Nigerian doctors

ejehijustice:
Good afternoon boss... Are you a dentist or a dental student. Please I need to talk to you personally to get some more detailed information about dentistry and to get answers to many questions in my head... Please send your whatsapp number to my mail justiceomodiagbe@gmail.com.
Thanks in anticipation.

angiography:



you having to quote me more than a month after I made the post showed the amount of insecurity you must be suffering from... unfortunately for you, I am in a med school where medical and dental students run classes till part 4...should I need to know more about dentistry??, I'd ask my my roommate who happened to be the president of dental students association in my school - not from an imposter and irresponsible fella like you. Idiot

sgtponzihater1:


Don't thank him. This thread died from the beginning. Having lunch at my break room and wondering how much peoples esteem can be so defaced, and degraded. The Medicine and Surgery you studied is similar to the Medicine Nurses, physiotherapy and other paramedics did, its is just to complete your course, and not to work in a Medicine clinic. I will keep being an advocate for truth, even though its unpopular

OloladeWrites:
And to the OP who choose to be replying unnecessary messages almost making the importance of this thread not to be felt. Please stop.
This thread should be filled with positive criticism, questions as regards dentistry and peoples comment on how your story has impacted on them.

The moment you ignore comments and unneeded arguments with links and shii, they will stop coming.

Gracias

sgtponzihater1:


You guys are missing the entire point of this thread. If I studied Dentisty I'll be proud of it, and not keep decieving gullible folks that its Medicine I studied, when my Certificate and License says otherwise. I've been in this business for awhile and don't need anyones validation. I am one of the few that hold on to unpopular truth, no matter how bitter it sounds. Many of you folks will live a lie all your life. Most Dentists really know and appreciate their profession when they leave the shores of our very beloved Naija.

All your talk doesn't change the fact that you are in the Dental register and not the Medical register. It also doesn't mean that your license doesn't state medical Practitioner and you are trying to force on people what they will never agree to. NHS is the largest employer of Medical Labour and have said Dentist by their training are Doctors must not deceive the public that they are Medical Doctors.

Dentistry is an amiable field with its different specialties, with OMS bring them closer to Medicine. And Medicine is a different course entirely with its different specialties. This is the information the public need, and this will foster patient safety. ENT, Ophthalmology etc that you mentioned are all specialties under medicine and Surgery. Specificalists have left Nigeria to different countries, and because of the rigors of going into their index specialty decide to take Medical licensing exams and enter into less competitive specialties, because their primary qualification permits them to do so.

If a Medical Doctor decides to do paediatric Dentistry, he has to return to get a primary qualification in Dentistry, and with all the so called "Medicine and Surgery" you are emphasizing, if a Dentist decides he wants to be a Cardiologist, He has to return back to Medical school to get MBBS as his primary qualification. This shows that the Medicine or Surgery you did is not enough to move you up the specialty ladder. You ignore OnG and Paediatrics altogether which is another gruelling 16-18months of didactic medical Education mixed with bedside tutelage so as to push ur highly distorted, skewed and untaught propaganda.

When you go outside. UK for example, you can't even write Plab which qualifies you to be in their Medical register, except you go back to MBBS. You instead write a different exams, called ORE (I can educate you for free on this), and are regulated by a different body, GDC, and placed on a Dental register. The same body have warned Dental Doctors that they shouldn't deceive the public that they are Medical Doctors, but this is exactly what this thread seems to push, lies.

I have added links to most of my other write ups, so the simple and uninformed don't fall into the banana pill that you have set ahead of them.

I clearly stated that many Dentist, more than 80% who took pre degree with us wanted to study Medicine and Surgery, and got thrown into Dentistry, and they then try to validate their being in Dentistry and give their self a very false and distorted idea that they are studying an upgraded Medicine and Surgeries and are specialists. Another 10% are afraid of the rigors of getting into Medicine, and thus rather pick a less demanding course, they behave like the former, I arguably think you stand in this category. The remaining, chose it out of free and Enjoy the Course, accept it as a different, closely related but Unique field from Medicine and Surgery.

I have life mentors who are great Dentists and have crafted me into becoming, and I wonder if they'll ever pass their humility, work ethic, dedication to their profession to a younger degeneration still battling with professional identity.


Addendum: The distinction in Medicine must be clearly stated that it's a Distinction in Medicine among their Dental Counterparts. When BGS in Medicine is given, its given to MBBS. Then Dentistry induction starts afterwards. At the End of the Induction two people give a speech. The best in Medicine and surgery (Medical Doctor), and the best in Dentistry (Dentist/Dental Surgeon). There is no overall best in Medicine and Dentistry, because they are two different courses. I say this to educate the young generation who may be hoodwinked to believing that Medicine and Dentistry are comparable alternatives, they are not. If you want to attend to addison's disease, graves disease, MIs, arrhythmias, syncope, etc go for MBBS, and if you are obsessed about Dentitions, and pulling off bad tooths, and relieving people of tooth pain, or taking care of clefts and oral abnormalities, go for Dentistry, but don't let a low esteemed, confused bunch deceive you into going the wrong path.

Peace

You don't use everything you learn in Medicine or any course for that matter. Most things in Medicine only aims to stretch your mind for the worst, and train your heart to accept that you know not all and matured enough to accept to your patients that you won't guess your way in the course of helping them, and that their safety is your priority. If I show you metaplasia of squamous cells on a microscope you certainly will not know it, or transitional cells of the GU tract you'll be lost, but you did histology, and you haven't committed any crime by not knowing it. Half of biochemistry and most of chemical pathology, and animal biology will be useless for years into your practice. Even as a older Doctor I know my limits and if you bring some cases to me, I simply say I don't have full information about it, but I can tell you how, were and when to seek help. I also keep most of the red flags close to mind. That's what stands us out, and what make us true Medical doctors and you a Dentist who dances about claiming to be trained in everything and knowing everything. Why you'll rush to MDEx to try and give a skewed account of yourself.

I need not glory in Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, OnG or even the fact that I have a certificate of full registration as a Medical Doctor so that even the Mentally impaired can see and know that I am a Medical Doctor, while you will have a Certificate of Full Registration as a Dental Practitioner and you will struggle, fight and cry all your life trying to convince visually unimpaired people that the Dental Surgeon that they clearly see on your Certificate and on the MDCN register is actually Medicine and Surgery and that those that placed your name on the Dental register are ill informed, yet nobody is blind, yet those who placed your name there and inducted you as a Dentist were there before you, and its only through surrender, humility, and clarity of purpose that you can ever walk in their shoes and not set yourself off to a collision course. Some may nod their heads and smile but others as smart as me will scold your absurd, mundane, crass, informed and ridiculous stream of untaught and grandeus thought.

The only solution is to stop trying and face the music, face what you have on paper and be grateful for what you have. You cannot have it all but holding what you have in your hands in a defective form is the biggest sin in the Universe, the same sin that made the formerly exalted angel of light, who held his position in a defective form equating his knowledge and glory with that of the most high because he knew and did almost everything with the MOST High, thrown off the radar of light to become a wandering star, milked of all his glory and splendour and set on a collision course that will resound till eternity. Don't make the same mistake even in your little but self exalted corner, take what you have on your Certificate, give God all the glory for it, remove yourself from the achievement, and let God make it gold.

When I first became a Doctor my Mum would get angry when I introduce my self with my first name alone, she wonder at the rationale, but I knew these things are fickle, and can fizzle in a flash. Don't rise and boast in any way. Peace

Cheers Dr. We share a lot of things in common. I wish you success and hope going forward. It's not easy to succeed after being on the edge of a cliff nearly falling off. For that I pray that the shame of the past years will not be a weight on you as go proceed to more challenging territories.

BW

Afterthought: Struggling to do Medicine and Surgery at least 5 times must have had a toll on you. I totally understand why you feel you studied Medicine and Surgery as well as Dentistry. I could have had the same thoughts about Pharmacology, doing it again made me feel like I was a pharmacologist, when in fact it was one of those courses that I needed to pass through to my final Destination, but I am probably more mature, more focused, and less transient than you. We cannot all be the same though.

Again my latest Dr , BW

sgtponzihater1:


Philosophy and most Art courses do almost 2/3rd of the courses Lawyers do. I have never heard them boast out like you do. Or Lawyers who did a lot of philosophy come out and say I am a philosopher + a lawyer combined. Only an inferior dude who probably couldn't merit the rigours of getting into MBBS can struggle to validate where he eventually is.

If you set out to study Dentistry abinitio we both know you won't concoct this gross,distorted , verbose and self seeking post that aims to massage your deflated ego, just to validate where you've found yourself. But I am almost certain that MBBS was ur childhood dream, but finding urself in hot water, the only device you can come up with is to turn the heat on and dance a shameful and painful Makossa like dance. But we all know it's a facade.

Dentistry is an amiable course, but its also quite boring if you got kicked into it by the vagaries and uncertainties that life present, rather than by your own passion and your own free will, and 95% of Dentists which you sadly belong to fall in this category. You will validate yourself all day by pay, by talking about undergraduate courses, by Federal Government pay, but will never find rest until you quit digging in the hole in which you've found yourself.

The remaining 5% who chose to do Dentistry out of free will and as their first and only choice enjoy the profession, savor its benefits, and remind themselves that while Medics toil the whole night, they can sleep the most part of the night, and attend to their patients on non emergency basis. You don't belong here at all and deep in your heart you know it. After you got booted out of your initial dream, you have sworn to fight on, to ask for a different group for Dental student while still remaining intoxicated, deluded, and manically obsessed and somewhat somatizing to the grossly erroneous, flawed and faulty belief that you still studied Medicine and Surgery whilst carrying a certificate that reads Bachelors of Dental Surgery, and a license which will not have Medical Practitioner written on it.

It will take a while, even awhile to debride this cancerous obsession from your grey matter but we won't allow your delusion rub off on others.

Cheers

sgtponzihater1:


We went through the rigorous and gruelling times too or even more, but the more we know, the more we realize there is so much that lie ahead and so much information untamed. No course exist called Medicine and Dental Surgery also, if ur bachelors is in Dental Surgery Embrace it, if its Medicine and Surgery celebrate it. May Nigeria be sane again so that charlatans or near charlatans like you can either stay in line or be kicked off the dangerous edge in which you stand.


Learn, pray, and then humble your self my dear Dentist to be ( as you don't have a provisional license yet)

Cheers

big inferiority

afrodoc2:


You are a sakamanje exponent.

Why would i want to be enlightened by a sakamanje exponent like you. Stop misinforming the public.

You are a dentist. Be proud of your profession and stay in your lane.

Some of the smartest guys i met in Uni were Dental students, and today they are proud of their profession. It takes a high level of inferiority complex to start claiming you studied Medicine and Surgery.
