esere826: You're probabably a doctor
and maybe a junior one if you are

Have you noticed that miltary heads do not complain of resources, only the junior men do


Look at this scenario from a Snr management point of view:
NMA calls an emergency meeting with FGN to temporarily suspend strike
they demand instant access to a couple of millions and explain why it is needed
They (not FGN) mobilize the resources into strategizing for PPEs
(not PPE's for everyone, but those on the front line)

They create heat maps of potential areas such as lagos and ensure that special units with all that is needed are spedily set up

Do you honsestly think that all Nigerians will not rally round the doctors to see that this small gesture is not acheived?


And besides, will you say that all Nigerian military men even those at home should have bullet proof vests and armoured cars?

esere826: @ ifyclose2

You made your points. I agree with some and query some others
My family tree is laden with doctors, and I have lots of friends that are both doctors and other type of health professionals.
Make i join this matter small.

1)
the nigerian soldier whose neck was cut on youtube video was on a salary of 40K
...harzard of a unique kind

2)
When the ebola thing surfaced, some of us expected the strike to be temporarily called off
to adress the ebola challenge
this would have shown the other nigerians that the strike was driven by principles

At least NMA for negotiate with FGN to set up a small insurance pot for doctors and other health officials
just for the duration of the ebola issue
..but no, it looked like a good tool to blackmail the FGN, and unwittingly Nigerians
this is really, really worrying

3)
The good doctor is not being praised for risking her life in treating Patrick Sawyer
No,..she's being praised for being intelligent enough to restrict his movement thereby saving Nigeria
from what would have been a biological catastrophy

You notice that others are not being praised that much. It is not because they are 'lowly' nurses
,..its just that act of intelligence which saved us that is being praised

Now, if the NMA doctors had an emergency meeting and forsook their demands temporartily just for this
they would have been considered heroes too

lokoloko84: To you it is rubbish since you lack a good sense of reasoning.
What about the nurse and other individuals who are dead?were they also not important within their own rights.
Why must we use blackmail and politics out of every disaster in this country. Can we build a viable economy and well organized society that way.
I have my own sentiments with regards to the health sector but despite that I have refused to allow decency to be thrown out of the window.

lokoloko84: Then you can tell some of us,why your fellow doctors are now begging USA to release zmapp.
Since you guys are the only gurus in medicine and are indispensable then I think you people should give vaccines.

dumodust: Loool... this demdem guy is on fire o

Just heard on vanguard that health minister is saying that docs werent sacked ... seems like the back pedalling has begun

erico2k2: Guy Im not i n dispute that they dont go on strike, try and get where Im coming from,if you check very well its on the Docs that belong to agreed Unions that go on strike.In my place of work, I dont belong to any Union,however my colleagues do so if they vote to go on strike,I will still go to work.If you check they refuse to attend to non urgent medical cases,Now in NIgeria since the Docs are on strike would they treat Accident victims? or someone who got shot by armed robbers? or perform C sections?answer is NO, this is where Im trying to direct you to when it comes to ethics, in the west saving a life comes first to the Doctors before money hope you understand where Im coming from

Morotov1: I am a cleaner and very soon will be a consultant cleaner. ......yea the lowest in the food chain. Happy now. smh
The impulse to demean is so noticeable in every of your comments......so uncultured. Continue wallowing in your self-glory.

jackal001: You are one of the worst idiots we have in this country and Nigeria can never progress with people thinking like you. It's obvious you're a doctor but a very shameless one at that. So just for the fact that it involves a doctor it shouldn't be said in public? OMG I feel sick knowing that people like you still have the effrontery to open ur mouth and voice ur support of corruption instead of just keeping it to ur insufferable self alone. If we don't expose corrupt people regardless of who they are and where they come from then where are we heading as a country? Please keep this kind of rotten and archaic opinion to urself alone and not in this honorable forum. Mtcheww

proffemi: It may not be intentional, but you're talking down to me here. You may be interested to note that I have lectured in a university for many years, and count among my friend and research collaborators over a dozen consultants. You say NMA is not against other unions getting N100k hazard allowance? The omens suggest differently, what with how central the issue of relativity is to the current crisis.

Dreambeat: So why did he not return to his post after the 'clearance'.Something tells me that he was probably indicted but because of his political affiliation,his friends didn't want him disgraced hence was given a milder punishment of not returning to his duties.

5minsmadness: My cousin trained at uniben. Does he need to write liscencing exams?

emmydeep: My friend, posting things like this will never help you.

Doctor Onyebuchi was never indicted in the investigation. The people that was found guilty was later arrested and tried in court.

Please, correct yourself and get some education.

adanduka: The post doesn't say he was sacked for fraud.

lrguru: that I hope will be the last meat u eat, so u better start eating crayfish cos no more work for u cos u are jobless.

Morotov1: Permit me to share my thought.

These exodus will create room for creation of Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, extension of prescribing power to a whole lots of other professionals......even a change in course curriculum of the essential health professionals to practice more advanced medical procedures as is in some advance countries........Mozambique's midwife's performing cesarean section and some obstetrics procedures, clinical officers in East Africa etc.....comes to mind. By then it won't be about allowances but about being relevant.

Do you want that?
Are you going to run as a coward because the land is getting too hot for you?
Fight your fight and help settle Nigerian health sector or your profession will go to the dogs.

magnusalbertus: As a doctor how can I move to the Caribbean, pls I need info.

anonimi: This is very sad. I hope the family and friends she left behind will find the strength to continue this life without her.
It will be very appropriate that the federal government gives her a meaningful national award while the Lagos state government and other organisation find useful ways to honour her memory. That is the minimum to expect in a DECENT society.
