DrAda:
The brain drain has led to doctors literally putting their lives and families in the line with zero support system

Abeg tell me another thing

emapeteum:
Young man or woman, you can't learn, and this is one of the reasons I find it difficult
to relate to a fellow Nigerian here in France. Most of us are moving with an elevated level
of ignorance. I rest my case since you know better.

hafeeanubasy:
Na you no wan learn.

Yes agreed that it has an origin.

But try and also learn that the use if words can change with time.

For example PhD is Doctor of philosophy originally.
Can you now say,someone who has a PhD in engineering is a philosopher because of PhD originated from philosophy?


The origin of a word doesn't rub it off of its new and generally accepted use.
Also,learn that NOT ALL DOCTORS ARE PHYSICIANS

Jman06:
No resident doctor earns less than 400k in a public hospital in Nigeria as at today. Maybe the 316k excludes call duty allowance

inoki247:
Lol it takes a Muguu to detect one. King of Muguu..



When your hypocrisy is been pointed out u results to abuse and cursing....

hafeeanubasy:
Bullying?......you lack knowledge.

Most doctors when want Nurses too to start demanding for Doctor of Nursing.


Na patients go suffer with confusion

Boogeymannn:
He’s not wrong. The CONMESS salary structure is actually the highest among the others.

loffyloffy:
You forgot to add that almost all of them have private practise where they earn far more than their official salaries.

They mostly use their day jobs as a way of gathering referrals for their private practise

Boogeymannn:
Well, it is what is it. With step ups and wage increments, the salaries keeps going up. But let’s not forget that most of the doctors work minimum 2 place and they could earn about 1.5-2.5 million naira every single month. Especially the senior registrars and consultants.

franchasng:
Not entirely true. Its only true for Doctors aka House Officers working with private hospitals....those working with government hospitals earn between 450k to 750k for the house officers not the medical consultants who earn far higher.


Even though I don't like APC and Bola's corrupt, directionless leadership, they should take it easy with the lies

Love800:
What's the difference between house officers and medical consultants?

What the meaning of resident doctor sef?

Dalohad:
You are very correct.

This one na sympathy Olympics the resident physicians wan do.

Make them dey talk true sometimes..

Let them compare it to what an Assistant Director of Pharmaceutical Services or Assistant Director of Medical Laboratory Services earn in our hospitals, and tell themselves the truth.

Ashley86400:
Na Engineer you go visit when you sick?

theredaddy:
You gat to be kidding, how can you compare doctors that fix human body to an engnineer that invent or put object together

what a civil engineer can do a bricklayer can do what a mechanical engineer can do wasiu mechanic can do better But a doctor

what happen to Taiwo awoniyi ruptured intestine can a herbalist fix it

can a spiritualist seperate cojoin twins.

we are talking Life, Put some respect that profession bro

hafeeanubasy:
Don't mind them forming in the mouth.


They should take a time out and observe a doctor activities at work especially in emergency,procedures and ward round.

Those people forming in the mouth on this thread are wounded doctors wanna be who found themselves in other professions like pharmacy,nursing lab science ,Zoology ,biochemical and co

BABANGBALI:
both of them are correct. One is British English, while the other one is American English. I chose to use the American English which is my mother tongue.

Love800:
Generally in the world, engineering should be bigger than doctor. Do you know what it means to be an engineer! Am talking about the core, sophisticated ones oh!

ogaemma:
Imagine a P.A to a politician with ordinary NCE or WAEC will be earning more than a medical doctor. A local government ward councilor earns far more than a medical doctor.
Tomorrow the useless government will be asking them why are the doctors japa to Europe.
Nigeria government regards Motor park Agbero far more than Doctors.
Because they use them for their election.

Samajogs:
Just too small for a Medical doctors with all the years in school no wonder they are want to Japa

Broveens42:
Too poor.

It's just like a person who went through an expensive private university but settling for less.

Johncuppa:
So you think an Engineer in a reputable company earns less?

LabStores:
What of doctors in reputable hospitals?

bsideangel:
This comparison lacks a sound understanding of the realities faced by doctors, particularly residents, in Nigeria. When we analyze their compensation in relation to their working hours, it becomes apparent that doctors are among the lowest-paid workers in the country.

In most hospitals, a resident physician is typically required to handle one weekday call and one weekend call at least twice a month. Additionally, during weeks without a weekend call, they may manage an average of three weekday calls. This rigorous schedule leads to an astonishing workload that averages around 90 hours per week.

When you compare this to other workers in both the hospital and public sectors, it is clear that residents are significantly underpaid based on the hours they work. For instance, during a single shift, a resident often collaborates with as many as six different sets of nurses, all of whom may be on different shift schedules. This complexity further emphasizes the demanding nature of their roles.

Given these factors, it is unreasonable to expect that their earnings should be similar to those of other public sector employees, many of whom do not face the same intensity and volume of work. To foster a fair assessment, it is critical to consider the average working hours of other public sector workers and recognize the unique challenges faced by resident doctors.

Love800:
You forgot to add that without engineering, we would still be living in year 45 BC settings!
People would have not being able to live beyond life expectancy if not for engineering!

Abeg talk another thing.
