chimoz: If the para-medics will be allowed to answer consultants, then there should be a clearly spelt out rule guiding their limitations in the hospital. I wont want a pharmacist to badge into my cubicle and order me around. I will surely strangle him with the tube of my stethoscope.You don't merit an office, a secluded cubicle with barbed wires will suffice for a doctor with your mentality.

Health / Re: NMA Strike May Linger-anyim by MrsAwesome: 6:19am On Aug 22, 2014 |
Now a committee has to submit their report before we move forward to further negotiations, the committee was set up by a committee established some years back. No end in sight. Very funny. |
Health / NMA Strike May Linger-anyim by MrsAwesome: 6:14am On Aug 22, 2014 |
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim Pius, has said a delay in the submission of the report of a presidential committee on the health sector is responsible for the apparent delay and deadlock in the ongoing Seven week old doctors’ strike. The Yayale Ahmed chaired presidential committee of experts on inter professional relations in the public health sector was set up to draw up a workable document to address perennial rivalry in the sector. But its work has been hampered by the on-going doctors’ strike, as negotiations with the doctors couldn’t continue on the orders of the Federal Government. Sen. Anyim said, “We have insisted that we couldn’t reopen negotiations with them when this committee is still at work, and likely in the next few weeks you would conclude your assignment.” Yayale Ahmed said, “The importance of our assignment cannot be over-emphasised, we have been given this task and the nation is patiently waiting like patients in hospitals.” Anyim also expressed concern that other professionals in the health sector are also threatening to embark on strike actions. Doctors in Nigeria’s public hospitals have been on strike since the first of July and the meeting was set up to resolve the issues in Nigerian health sector but if what was said by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation is to be considered seriously, then the strike may linger for a while pending when the report of the committee is ready in a couple of weeks.

Portraying third world countries and the problems they are facing , their struggles, and the possible solution. Better than comparing Nigeria with US, UK and other developed countries, these are countries with strong GDP,well developed healthcare delivery systems and good strategic policies. At least they are demanding for better facilities and pay as their main issue while those important issues are relegated to the background with more irrelevant demands topping the list in Nigerian doctors strike. 1 Like |

phantom:Laugh it out but your trainer, sponsor, employer deserve respect and a great deal of it. If it is not forthcoming they will suspend you and spell out another term of contract. It is their term and you must abide by it or you quit and wait your residency turn in a private facilities which we have limited number of in Nigeria. Most of us JOHESU learnt a bit of medico legal aspect of medicine before we graduate, we know who we are answerable to and what all these bodies represent in policy making,the consequences of disobeying government orders etc. But I can't say the same for doctors honestly I think you people don't know who is the piper here. |
Health / Re: Nmas Response!!!!! by MrsAwesome: 3:14pm On Aug 15, 2014 |
phantom: I don't know about the laws establishing the medical and dental council of Nigeria BUT if they can be controlled by the NMA, the next logical step might be a due accreditation of all medical schools.This is your major problem now because MDCN is a parastatal of FG and government can delist any doctor from its register and even licence can be revoked too making you illegible for any foreign and local jobs. NMA can it sue against government since it is not a registered trade union? |
Health / Re: Nmas Response!!!!! by MrsAwesome: 3:07pm On Aug 15, 2014 |
Nurses tried these line of loggerheads with government in 1985 and they have CHEWS to contend with. I foresee a creation or role expansion of other professionals in no distance. This is the time for alternatives and by joves Nigerian government must have had a lot of it to embark on these chaos. Consultant doctors are irreplaceable sure but residency training now will be on government terms. |

silentdon:You are really out of your depth to make that comment. You will be surprised what new generation nurses are being taught here in Nigeria. I was taught what pulseless asystole, ventricular tachycardia and tarchyarrythmia, QRT,ST PR intervals etc and all whatnot mean. Most colleagues don't care about all these because there is a minute 0.9% chance that they will use it in practice. |

Health / Re: NMA Response To The F.G Directive by MrsAwesome: 10:09pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
dBard:Medicine is being regulated by government through it parastatal MDCN which regulates training of allopathic doctors. ARD members are being trained by government and are paid in the process, now FG is withdrawing themselves from the training program. Unless they have a lawyer that can wriggle them out of these situation then ARD is sunk. MDCAN protesting the withdrawal of their students from training sounds so pathetic and unNigerian to an average Nigerian ear. And since NMA is not a registered trade union do you think they can sue anybody ? |
Health / Re: NMA Response To The F.G Directive by MrsAwesome: 9:27pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
dBard:You forgot MDCAN was restrained by court not to go on strike until their issues with JOHESU has been resolved. FG is out and there are analysts, attorneys etc that must have plans to counter any move made by NMA. When Okonjo-iweala stated that FG can't print money to pay doctors, that is when I realised all these may result to nothing at the long run. ONLY 16,000 ARD members, they are a paltry sum compared to JOHESU members. ARD MEMBERS are now a scapegoat for the two elephants. |
Health / Re: NMA Response To The F.G Directive by MrsAwesome: 8:59pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
Battle line is drawn. I am afraid of where FG is going with this, It took them 6 weeks to arrive to these decision. FG is ready to trample on doctors, they did rather appoint foreign doctors than local doctors. It will shake the health sector but will settle. Obembe saw these coming and tried to bow out with his tail between his legs intact but NMA won't hear of it. Since NMA is not a registered trade union, they are going to be sued by FG until they start bleeding from all the natural orifices, I just wish I am wrong. |
Health / Re: Federal Government Suspends Doctors Residency Training by MrsAwesome: 6:40pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
We pleaded,begged, cajoled still they insisted. Now FG is saying enough is enough. A new term of contract to which every residents doctor must adhere to will be used now, failure to comply will led to immediate termination of their residency appointment. |

Health / Re: Expect Total Strike From Jan 6, Doctors Warn by MrsAwesome: 7:22am On Dec 24, 2013 |
No 2, US started losing sleep when NPs went to DNP route and all hell broke loose. It's not about being an NP, PA but about what was included in the curricula that made them able to diagnose. Nigeria nurses getting degrees should be a source of headache for doctors ..see what happened to medlab technologists becoming scientist...with pathologist losing a hunk of lab headship. What is the bone of contention of this strike .....monetary and egotistical gains then added a flimsy residency whatever qnd health sector funding for sympathy. Doctors should wake and smell the coffees. Doctors being heads of medical team ........nobody is discussing that here sha. But being the administrative head sound so out of medicine cos he/she ain't managing patients but paperworks and personnel and there are people trained for such. Every professional is expected to consult when the need arises so it is not peculiar to nurses. Nurses are not ranked with doctors cos they are from two different professions...so ranking low in peaking order in doing some of the things doctors do combining it with what they do is really something. Mind you that any nurse practicing pediatrics, geriatrics or whatever is practising nursing. Check out the court verdict of US anesthetist and CRNAs. MBBS, is just a starting point of medicine...these era is an era of specialist and in UK to become a GP you have to pass some foundation courses but the case is different in Nigeria. We emulate their surgeon general ish and leave their other best health practices. Revere is an egotistical word...it is earn . Doctors are not hated but people are getting tired of the strikes and once you strikes it is cos of money. American professionals knows their onions unlike their Nigerian counterpart that practices everything instead of medicine . Incognito Quant: |

Tobbie9: well said bro, i took time out to do some research on us and others and found out that most of there doctors are consultants causing a dearth of doctors in primary healthcare which is why even the doctors themselves are pushing nurses and co to be more independent so they can focus on their specialties once residency training is properly done in nigeria the chews/nurses/whatever can have primary healthcare to themselvesAt least some point are becoming clearer, primary health care is quite different from primary care actually. Check it out too. The definition of PHC was propounded in alma-ata,USSR.. while primary care doctors is equivalent to the general practitioners we have in Nigeria that refer specialize cases to specialist. NPs , PAs are taking up the roles cos doctors don't find it lucrative and satisfying anymore and less doctors are going in for primary care residency. The PC residency is opening up for the NPs already in Florida and in some states too. Am only trying to squash the ideas that nurses seeing and treating patients is unheard of or they are pretending to be doctors. And research also shows that they especially CRNAs and anesthesiologist service are the same. People should search for these NPs cos probably if you travel out since they are many now ...there is every possibility that you will be treated by one of them and they go by Dr so so because they have phd in what they do. 1 Like |

thepathologist:Hey, would you mind rereading the post again. Medical model of care not US model which is obtainable anywhere in the whole world has nothing to do with surgeon general stuff. And NO..... NMA is losing cos for every of their gains it is countered by JOHESU ...med scientist win , JOHESU court win ...name NMAs ....With conmess ...there is CONHESS. Soon the government will get tired of the whole hullabo and probably privatize all our sorry assEs. I am drumming it now to every ears ..go get a certifications that will stand you out among your peers...at least the big companies, hospitals will be after you when it is the governments time to strike. |

Incognito Quant:Using your last statement ....they are not following any protocols but are trained to do what they do except the chews in Nigeria that uses standing orders. NPs and clinical officers works in teaching hospital along side other medical professionals and those who aspire for independent practice works in remote areas where the laws made it so. They know their limitations the same way other doctors know theirs.....a wound care specialist nurse, NICU nurse, CRNAS and all what nots knows so also the doctors. Anaesthesiologist knows his boundary, gastroentrologist, OB/gyn etc non of them encroachs into other fields of medicine though they are all doctors unless your are specifically trained in that field you're committing quarkery unlike Nigeria scenario where an MBBS graduates will be jack of all trade and master of none. Any case above your scope and designations is refered pronto to the specified specialist. So this is not a case of NP referring cos she can't treat them ....No, it is a case of knowing when to refer to a more knowledgeable associate as most doctors do. Medical model and protocols are not the same. There is medical model of care ...nursing model of care.. Medical follow the disease process while nursing follows the human response to the disease process . Physicians, Physicians assistants, CHEWS and clinical officers follows these medical model during their training and practice. While protocols is a laid down rules as you know which you as a doctor or nurse or any other personnel can follow depending on the hospital policy which can change from one hospital to the other. Protocols in sane climes are not made by a profession alone but each profession will be represented and their opinion sought......merit and the demerit noted before instituting it as the hospital protocols. A lot of protocols abounds eg for emergency, unbooked cases, calling of codes, resuscitation before the team arrives and so much more. Surgeon general is a part of NMA glimpse of the future that will never manifest......It will be countered in such away that the government will even throw in towel to the health sector. 1 Like |
