people tend to forget that these men of GOD are human beings and not spirits as such they can fall by the wayside any day.

but that pastor Chris sef dey me like sharp guy sha.
when a pastor goes to the extent of curling his hair.
vanity if you ask me.

abi na the name 'Chris' ? look at okotie!

YourHealthlabs: Ultrasound Scan is about N3,000-N5000 depending on the human area of Study and equipment used. When you recommend it to patients in your private capacity. Some indigent ones will go elsewhere and ask for cheaper non-specific tests.

You forgot to give credit to Sonographer/Imaging Scientist that confirmed the Hernia.

please stop spreading false information.
in nigerian tertiary centers,RADIOGRAPHERS DONT SCAN AND DIAGNOSE.ITS WRONG and amounts to quackery. please ask around.

its resident doctors in radiology who scan patients.
for instance,in UPTH,radiographers operate the digital Cray machines,mammo ,CT and MRI.
they ACQUIRE images, the doctors INTERPRETE AND DIAGNOSE the patients. don't mix things up please

YourHealthlabs: Bros, your Acute appendicitis is confirmed by an Imaging Scientist/Sonographer/Radiographer. Not a Physician.

When you need blood for pre-ops. Where do u look?...Into your wardcoats?...We know the answer.
Afterall, we also have ailments that can be taken care of without keeping an appointment with a Physician. Lab investigations will CONFIRM and/or SUPPORT, and/or MONITOR the progression/regression of a disease condition.

Ok let me ask you, do you Confirm Schistosomiasis by just adjusting your eyeglasses while looking at the patient?. Afterall there are many other ailments that presents hematuria as one of their Clinical manifestations.

How about Trichomoniasis?..I guess the smell of that HVS swab tells you it's T.V without having a Scientist look into his microscope and confirming it.

Let's stop deceiving ourself, you can't extricate Lab investigations from 21st century medical practice. Except you want to practice pre-pleistocene, dinosaur-era medicine.

The Radiographers and Scientists provides information that helps you develop a treatment plan for the Patient.

Healthcare is multidisciplinary with the patient in the middle and all of us around him.

**I think i've derailed the Op's "Doctor-title' thread enough**

radiologically appendicitis is diagnosed by a radiologist, NOT A RADIOGRAPHER. don't twist it.
secondly a small percentage of appendicitis is diagnosed sonographically.

APPENDICITIS IS A CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS. please Google it and stop insisting stubbornly on what you know nothing about just for arguing sake.
if you lose a relation to appendicitif because the doctor was waiting for lab work,you can sue him.


schistosomiasis is of course confirmed in a lab when you detect ova in stool. same thing with you trichonomiasis.
these are cases where you need labs for confirmation like I mentioned earlier.
but there are thousands of diseases that are diagnosed CLINICALLY.

let's not go round in circles.read my first post again.I hate repeating myself.
infact the only time sonography is really needed in appendicitis is in female patients(there's a reason for that)

I ve got this book of Enoch sitting on my hard drive but fear no gree me read am.
I have some interest in the occult but I no wan go enter wetin I no suppose know.

look at Nigerians and their s.tupid conspiracy theories.
a doctor (who I happen to know personally) is dead and you all are playing politics with it.
do not offend GOD! be guided!

why was the book of Enoch expunged from the bible? in fact I hear some other books were removed.
so the original bible was concentrated.

nicki minajs opening verse in kan yes 'dark fantasy' appeared to have made reference to it because I can't think of anything else it meant;

"you think you've piqued the scene? you haven't the real one (original bible) is far too mean.
the watered down one(today's bible), the one you know was made up centuries ago. they made sound all wacky and corny.yes its awful,blasted boring
twisted fictions,sick addictions, well gather round children, zip it,listen!"

snipesdam: Where you there to confirm he didn't know?
You just don't how secretive someone could be.

bros I am closer to the family than you think.
it was the wife who even called the authorities.
Iyke had no idea he was treating ebola because the diplomat in question was showing mild symptoms.

nannyo: is it the very tall and handsome Dr Ik from Samstel?

yeah.

people just post rubbish on nairaland.
the said doctor was in private practice not government and secondly he had no idea he was treating an ebola patient.
that diplomat is suspected to have hidden vital history of information from the doctor

YourHealthlabs: He is a respected physician on this forum but in his euphoria at reeling out medical terminologies, he has probably forgotten that Radiographers/Imaging Scientists detect anomalies like Appendicitis while there are specific/non-specific laboratory tests to detect, confirm and/or understand the severity of several of his listed medical conditions.

welcome brother. I missed you.

does any lab test CONFIRM acute appendicitis for instance?


look,let's always endeavour to say the truth.
there are lots of diseases that are diagnosed only clinically.
some others need labs for SUPPORT and some others need labs for CONFIRMATION. that is my point.

many of you here have been giving grossly misleading and dangerous info to Nigerians.
Nigerians now believe that a doctor who sends patients for lab work is a good doctor and one who doesn't is bad. THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG and quacks have capitalised on this to dupe Nigerians.

let me repeat, ANY DOCTOR THAT RELIES ON ANCILLARY INVESTIGATION TO MAKE A DIAGNOSIS IS NOT JUST A BAD DOCTOR BUT A DANGEROUS ONE.

in the case of an acute appendicitis,what possibly would you see in the lab work except elevated white cells.

now I ask,are elevated white cells not seen in plenty diseases? so does it CONFIRM appendicitis? NO! but does it SUPPORT appendicitis? YES!

now,quacks on seeing the lab work,may prescribe antibiotics and maybe painkillers for the patient until he ends up in the teaching hospital with a ruptured appendix and then the story changes.

jpphilips: Doctor wan get favor from Diplomat come kill himself join, I was even blaming the health minister for his laxity before Sawyer struck, little did I know that most Nigerian doctors are Ignorant.

it appears the doctor knew the diplomat and the doctor had no idea it was ebola. was probablt treating the diplomat for malaria.
that appears to be the only explanation

feldido: Ojiba crescent, next street

na wa o! small world. the wife has been quarantined. i dont know about the baby.
i hear his relations and the wifes mother are all at that house. i hope theyve all been quarantined.

sainty2k3: What's the latest on issue of suspension of residency?

your useless government and NMA elders are all confused. we still dey where we dey.
its even more complicated now because consultants are insisting they cant work with MOs

feldido: Ain't going back to Port Harcourt, the foolish Doctor happens to be my neighbor...
Which kind life be dis?

lemme guess,you live at chief joe okoye? or at rumuokoro?

pigin: present yourself for quarantine immediately.

ignorance! i personally know the doctor does not mean,i hugged him and shared his lunch with one spoon...

queen pen......party aint a party

what were they really expecting that resident doctors would be fired and work would go on smoothly
how will a car move when it has no engine?
nigerians are yet to fully understand the damage done until they go to the hospitals for healthcare and notice that many of their doctors who they previously thought were consultants are now absent.

very true. I personally know the doctor involved.its sad.

very true. I personally know the doc involved. its so sad.

like someone asked, WHEN DID NICKI MINAJ START RAPPING?

by 2002/2003 rap in whatever form died officially.

I'd rather listen to oliver d qoque than listen to lil Wayne .....

Theodarl: Phantom I tbink u r still a student. If so, my advise for u will be 'study hard' . If u r practising already, I am sorry for you n d patients u treat.

interesting! no answer and you resort to insults.
lab work is listed as an ancillary investigation.

what does ancillary mean?

Theodarl: Your premature conclusion that I am not a 'doctor' already, that I seek to b called a doctor shows u r not different from a typical Nigerian physician who begins to treat a patient without inquiring for proper laboratory investigations because he has concluded in his small mind that he already knows what is wrong with the patient. I'm sorry u r the one who needs psychiatric evacuation.

what lab test does one do for acute appendicitis?
what lab test does one do for glaucoma?
what lab test differentiates tesicular torsion from acute epidydimorchitis?
what lab test does one do to make a diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease?
what lab test does one do to make a diagnosis of ventricular septal defect?
what lab test does one do to make a diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta?
what lab test differentiates ischaemic from hemorrhagic stroke.
what lab test does one do to confirm congestive cardiac failure?


ask Google! your time starts now!

PapaBrowne: This story is suspicious. First it is only reported by online media houses, Saharareporters and Premiumtimes and secondly which foolish doctor would treat a patient in a hotel?? Naturally the Hotel authorities would have long reported the case, if the doctor was reluctant to. This story smacks of so much falsehood and it has no concrete sources

Somebody is not happy with the fact that Nigeria has effectively managed the syndrome. The same people who celebrate when bombs go off are the same people promoting this news. These same people are enemies of Nigeria and Sahara Reporters is usually thier tool of choice.
Did you notice how the bombings in the country stopped immediately Ebola came to Nigeria?

.......and there was a poster called papabrowne.

cursed country!! what did you all think that the innocent blood spillage between 1966 and 1970 wouldn't come back to haunt us?

is it not obvious that we have not moved an inch from 1967?

Dontintin: So what exactly is the delay and what is nma and nard doing about this.

what do you want them to do about it. where they the ones who released a circular suspending residency?

Theodarl: Very dumb. It takes only a bright mind to understand d original argument.

what do you want us to debate on?
abeg nobody has that strength.
ask the mods to move it to front page if you want a good argument from intelligent people.
I and my fellow docs are too dumb to argue with you.

idupaul: Now this makes more sense .. Because I noticed all this Boko Harm bravado after the coming of the current service chief ..When we complained they were too fat as officer people told us what does it matter .. From experience I can tell U most fat people ae always self centred and greedy and that explainss how their lineage became fat people.. Sha that a research for anothe day.

haaaa!

passion007: Conversations
(Three hours of intense arguments later)

Patient: Oh I see, you do have a certain inalienable claim to the title Dr
Pharmacist: Phew! I'm glad you now understand.
Patient: A quick question though. Did you take courses in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology?
Pharmacist: Oh yes indeed. I most certainly did.
Patient: Pharmacology and Pathology?
Pharmacist: Pharmacology, yes. Pathology ermmmm
Patient: Obstetrics? Gynecology? Pediatrics? Public Health?
Pharmacist: Ermmmmm
Patient: Medicine? Surgery?
Pharmacist (infuriated): I get your point smarty-pants.
Patient: How can you get my point when I haven't made it. In the strictest sense, the title Dr is open to any expert--even you. However, in the hospital there is already one who bears the title. So, your claim will be defined in relation to the real doctor as a benchmark. Considering you've taken 4 of 10 courses as him, I suppose we could call you two-fifth of a Dr

Pharmacist: What the hell is 2/5 of a Dr?
Patient: Exactly! What the hell is it? And who comes to the hospital requesting to see 2/5 of a Dr when he can be seen by all 5/5 of a Dr. So, sir, you see your argument has no leg to stand on.


Whether with an illiterate Nigerian patient or an educated one, those desperate for the title Dr have no argument. Except of course they agree to be addressed as 2/5Dr Abc Xyz.

...........now this is the best post I've read this week on nairaland.

......the earlier this man loses his job the better for everyone.

he's already on a collision course with senator mark.

akumada1: Cross river or river state?
