TenQ:
I agree with you that a Medical doctor will actually be better because they have a more rounder knowledge of healthcare by experience
BUT this is not my issue or problem.

I was just looking at the pharmacists who feel sidelined whenever it came to leadership of medical facilities and they seem to know what the arguments of the Medical doctors would be and they are preparing answers even before you get to the point of conflic.

This wass why I said: Pharmacists are closing up the GAP between themselves and you Medical doctors.

Antidote333:
Will their scope of anatomy, physiology & biochemistry be expanded? What input will they make in terms of patient care aside their drug drug interaction, overdosing & or underdosing arguments they always put forward?
Na NMA cause this thing. All over the world, pharmacists don't admit & treat patients in their pharmacies. It is only in Nigeria.
When they are done causing more harm to the patient, that's when they will remember that there is hospital.

TenQ:
We may object but Pharmacists don't think so!
And they have done everything with the government to achieve their aims

Antidote333:
NMA & MDCN should ensure that no pharmacist dispenses any medication without appropriate prescription from the doctor, abolish patent medicine with defaulter made to spend at least 20yrs imprison & also lose his or her license.

TenQ:
You can only achieve this in Nigeria by thinking and working strategically with the government.

You can achieve it by strikes or riots or talks but by going deep down to the roots, placing your people in power and getting the documents to say what you want. QED!

Antidote333:
Placing your in power? The moment a doctor gets that power, he suddenly forgets the struggle.

TenQ:
Chris Ngige is a good example!
But it can still be done at the Medical association level when you sponsor a Doctor-Politician. He can enter Offices no ordinary doctor can enter and push views because he was sponsored to to exactly this.

Best would be if you sponsored several who work together to achieve the associations' goals

Antidote333:
Doctors are very bad at politics.
The moment you give a doctor power, he uses it to victimize younger colleagues. Check the history of most CMDs before & during their tenure as CMDS. How has the ministerial slot help doctors?

TenQ:
Don't you think its just about specialisation?


Can All medical doctors operate on the eye?

Osoboshi:
if they wish too brother but a so called doctor of pharmacy or whatever can never in his lifetime,you see the difference 🤷🤷🤷.
Bro find your mates to rub shoulders with

I understand why we docs insist on being minister of health. Docs have a more rounder knowledge of healthcare due to longer training but in my opinion, any health care personnel can be minister AS LONG AS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

TenQ:
In every field, there are specialisations with extremely stiff learning curve.

Ophthalmology is deep
Ear Nose and Troth surgeons specialize for years
You think any doctor of Psychiatry can perform brain surgery with little addition of knowledge.

Each of these fields are difficult and that is why we have specialists in major hospitals

Osoboshi:
guy go and read about the scope of pharm d and so called d program,u are grossly ignorant

You are grossly uncultured , uneducated and lack any form of comprehension of basic writeup.

Have a good night!

Jman06:
You're actually ignorant of the reality of things in the health sector. This is how you people hype yourselves as the all-knowing in healthcare but I know the number of gaffes from medical doctors I have corrected as a Pharmacist yet i don't go about exposing them! A doctor recently could not correctly interpret lipid profile results! Or are we talking about cases of wrong diagnosis that have become very common in the country? I wish you guys could concentrate on improving your knowledge and skills to carry out proper diagnosis than engaging in frivolous fights with other healthcare professionals doing their own jobs

Osoboshi:
oga as a medical doctor I can go into any specialty same can not be said of other so called doctors.
Dr optometry but you can not make any clinic diagnosis with regards the eye, talking you know I'm a doctor ahn ahn

TenQ:
The difference is not bringing up your grievances only when you are on industrial strikes
BUT
Seeing to reaching people of influence in Government who can push your agendas quietly or even planting your people into Government with the purpose of actualising the desire of the organisation.

jaephoenix:
Which one be doctor of psychiatry?

jaephoenix:
Reaching people of influence? What does that mean? Isn't it what NARD is doing now, dialoguing with government officials?
What do you mean by 'planting your people into Government'?

TenQ:
If you are truly a medical doctor, disappointment is an understatement for what I feel for you.

Are you claiming that specialisations in medicine are extremely simple after your MBBS?

Have your way if this is your argument.

But you should have first gone through the train of conversations before jumping in. This was your error!

Let me break it down again for you
Pharmacy is just a specialisation under the medical sciences. Even medical doctors have their own specialisations AND it is not easy to just jump from one area of medicine to another .

Meaning that Pharmacists cannot claim to be specialists in the work of medical doctors . Crossing is not even easy between specialities like Opthalmology, ENT , Brain surgery etc. A general practitioner medical doctor needs to train hard to cross into a different specialisation.
Khai!

Osoboshi:
twist the conversation however you want it,from what you were saying and implying simply answering doctor from what ever field equates you to a medical doctor.Talking about being strategic and other nonsense leadership

TenQ:
Sorry for being harsh on you. You were too hasty to judge.
Peace!

jaephoenix:
That practice of pharmacies managing patients in pharmacies is crazy? I remember one case of a man brought comatose cos he was taking antihypertensives prescribed by a pharmacist.
When i was a corper in the North, male nurses operate on patients. I was aghast.
The corntree is a real jungle
