Are you guys still of the opinion that a man should not become a specialist in his field simply because their is potential for abuse? Whatever happened to the concept of stringent regulation of practise?

Going to TB Joshua is a masterstroke.

11th here.

drobadebayo: U guys act as if doctors are preventing nurses from becoming chief nursing officers or matrons.u act as if doctors are trying to relegate you.As if physiotherapists are not allowed to head their departments.being a consultant is not the highest post attainable by health workers in nigeria.an hospital appoints u as a consultant if they need you and u have the appropriate training.
What dey are saying is simple,you won't find a doctor doing a physio's job,so don't go near deirs.
The hospital is however based on team spirit,we need to work together no doubts.

Read what you typed, school yourself over it, and then decide if there is any modicum of honesty in your submission.

I actually wanted to write that physiotherapists are experts in neuromusculoskeletal disorder . I am quite sure of what I put in there. In other words Physiotherapists are practitioners of movement dysfunction .

U definitely cannot know beyond your level of exposure . Not really mean to insult you @phartomm but that is the hard truth.

thank you @octopaul for coaching him quite well.

You are welcome sir.

phantom: neuro musculoskeletal practitioners o dear! . what will one not hear on nairaland? lol

You are now trying to hide your ignorance behind emoticons cos a layman put some words together in a syntax you don't agree with? Now I see the genius in you.

phantom: you are missing my point. I DECIDE when the treatment will be conservative,surgical or rehabilitative.don't you get it? any patients you see, I SEND TO YOU. its not arrogance but fact! no offense.

Another case of arrogance masking itself as knowledge and mastery. The fact is you send a patient to another specialty because you are of the opinion that he has g9t something that can help the patient, not because you pity that specialist. See the difference?

Morotov1: This is ego talking.....right because a physician trained and board certified will know that in treating anything joint, there is conservative, surgical and rehabilitation....so relying on only NSAIDS, STERIODS AND COX INHIBITORS is not a good management plan. Please, this is one of the global best practices we are beggings for.

The exact point I wanted him to make for me. The whole problem is about ego. The need of the patient is buried beneath a heavy mound of god-class ego. And ignorance. Massive one.
What does physical therapy do for in a degenerative condition except palliative? Am scared for your patients sir.

That's where you are in the dark, my dear. Let me try to enlighten you.

Some nurses decided that since medical doctors become consultants, they too must become consultants (not considering that

the doctor's residency programmes have a strict curriculum with fixed clinical and practical rotations, and standard exams upon

the completion of the specified rotations)... but I digress.

As I was explaining, the nurses awarded themselves with "consultant" titles and in some teaching hospitals, would refuse to join

Doctors (consultant) ward rounds but rather do their own "ward rounds" with student nurses afterwards. When I heard this I was

like "WTF?"

Doctors' Ward rounds, in an Ideal situation, are meant to have a representation of all the health personnel involved in the medical

management of a patient ie. Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Medical Lab scientists, etc. but the Doctor leads the rounds because

the patients are His. The doctor sees the patient in the OPD, the doctor admits, the doctor sends the patient for investigations

and the doctor writes out the management plan, the doctor prescribes, and when the patient's condition has improved to satisfactory

levels, the doctor discharges the patient.

Now, I'm a firm believer of division of labour. Every health personnel should do what he/she was trained to do. I will not do a nurses'

work, and she shouldnt do mine. The management of a patient is Multi-disciplinary and any attempt to cross over and do another

professionals work is the reason why there is chaos in the health sector today. I respect every health professional and I have no

grudges towards nurses, pharmacists and others. Each groups work is tasking in it's own way.

Concerning JOHESU, well, with the understanding I have, the greatest bone of contention isn't skipping of grade levels. It's

leadership positions such as Chief Medical Director that they want to be eligible for...a position that has been exclusive to doctors.

My take on the issue is this...scrap the title of "Chief Medical Director" and "Medical Director" as hospital heads and give it to

administrators. Being a doctor doesn't guarantee that you will run a hospital efficiently and in most cases, we doctors have been

discovered to be the worst administrators.

Let's allow Public/ Business Administrators to be in charge of running hospitals while doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical lab scientists, etc

tend to patients.

I rest my case.

Doctor, please write out a proper management plan for knee osteoarthritis. One that your untrained physiotherapist can carry out without thinking for himself.
I am waiting.
