JOHESU people, why they trying so hard though? Doctors can't be compared to the rest, 6 7 years ain't no joke with all those killing exams and voluminous text books

salford1:

selfish gains

thesicilian:
Very soon, you people will look around and will not see any doctor to insult or blame for your predicaments. They are all leaving in droves to other countries and professions where they are better appreciated.

I'm still waiting to see how doctors led to the abuse of Tramadol and Codeine by youths.

CSTR1003:

Before 1991, pharmacist and doctors enter into service on the same grade level.
And Nigeria had better health service those days before IBB came in .

Unless the above information is wrong, the current system of indiscriminate doctor supremacy is an anomaly entrenched by a greedy and shortsighted ransome kuti.

All these still boil down to hate and envy for medical doctors.
Do you know why?
The Nigerian mentality is 'doctors too dey form'.
They are Endangered species as they are not up to 70,000 registered and practising doctors in Nigeria(maybe way less) to cater for 180M Nigerians. So it's very easy to gang up against them.

At the end of the day, if by cosmic accident johesu wins, who will suffer? Of course the johesu and the masses. Do you know why and how?

At the long run, the FG as usual will back out and privatise the entire sector(just like NEPA).

This will push everyone to privatise(run your own business).
Doctors will open private hospitals, no more teaching hospitals where the johesu talk. The doctor would employ the essentials that he can pay. He must employ nurses. He wouldn't be able to pay pharmacists so he'll go for pharmacy technicians. He would employ laboratory technicians instead of scientists etc.

Then the masses will pay for unsubsidised health care, heavily.
Everyone would focus. No more noise.

tuoyoojo:
shebi the emzor guy who sold the codeine syrup to the BBC reporters was a doctor.abi na doctor people dey meet to dispense drugs for them. always distorting the truth to suit your narrative.

all this hatred would lead you guys no where.

better advice those johesu members to resume work before hunger sandpaper their belle finish . two months with no Salary.

they are fighting a lost battle .....

Didn't you read the article? it was clearly stated there.

Jexyme:
When you take only a director from one of the professionals in an organization having so many professionals with comparable inputs and make him/her permanent head of the organization, bias, favouritism, rivalry and autolytic actions are inevitable.

The second point is as long as money and professional rivalry continue to be the reason for strike actions in our health sector, I swear to God that we'll continue to be DOOMED!!!!

How can doctors say that they'll go on strike if FG adjust the remuneration of JOHESU members? What nonsense and most senseless thing I've ever heard.

The issue of parity that the doctors and minister of doctors are deceiving and confusing the public on is a BIG LIE ...JOHESU never asked for parity.

Someone should please tap our able president to wake up from his sleep. Some people are strangulating the health sector.

IDEKEALUMONA:
The most corrupt set of people in hospitals are pharmacists, they steal drugs from hospital pharmacies,the least corrupt are doctors and nurses

BushDoctor123:
I thought Doctors are suppose to diagonise an ailment while the phermacist prescribe, but in nigeria the doctors have taken the roles of the phermacist while leaving them with dispensing alone. In sane clime its not done that way.

Leopantro:


it didn't explain why pharmacists sell drugs without a doctors prescription. Before BBC made that video anyone in the north could stroll into a chemist or pharmacy and buy as much as he wanted. Why?

meforkene:
It's important to note that Nigerians aren't saints.
Imagine a whole Pharmacist, our caring nurses joined a union which includes hospital gate man, ward orderlies etc to fight a course. Do you think it's pure?
Within the same union, Pharmacists can't stand Pharm technicians(no comparison), Bsc nurses and RNs are battling, Lab scientists and Lab technicians are at war, massive one.

No matter how long a catechist works in a church(even he can say mass off hand), he can never be seen as a priest. Same goes to court clerk and judge..etc.
