They don try on this one.
Our wonderful malaria and typhoid specialists.
Kudos to surgeons, the real doctors.
kiss kiss cheesy

And you call yourself a nurse?

Weren't you taught that "common things occur commonly" in different places? Malaria, typhoid and other tropical diseases occur commonly in the tropics and it is therefore expected for doctors working in such regions to be proficient in treating such ailments. Some may be required to undergo training in managing exotic diseases in which case they become a teeny weeny less proficient in tropical disease management and will have to rely more on primary specialists in tropical medicine.

It should be no surprise nor attract condemnation when a doctor in the US happens to nearly miss the diagnosis of malaria in a patient that actually has the infection.

Mr medical student
Hahahahaha
Other medical students I know including our last born hardly have time to be online regularly.
Go read your books buddy .

And that is how far you see or how much you know. A very small, negligible percentage of medical students can afford to party and still perform exceptionally well in their academics. People are not all cut out equally and not gifted equally.

what's the work of the nurse there please that a secondary school student can't do,

is not to give doctor operating tool and to clean up the room thereafter?

beside, no nurse was there, only doctors, they do there thing alone with joy..

nurse/johesu are on strike expecting miracle

What duty of a nurse can a secondary school student do abeg? I want to believe you are only being sarcastic. I think nursing more as a profession than a pre-occupation or leisure, the training for which can only be undertaken by an adequately mature mind.

Ehn ehn?even the post Op care?the CMD himself attested to it that it was a team work..Most govt hospitals have contract Nurses/workers who don't go on strike..Be informed.

The CMD was only being modest. There is no need whipping up sentiments and promoting more bad blood especially with Johesu's loss of public sympathy. The managing team mostly comprised of surgeons, anaesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, physicians which are all doctors. Even medical students too are part of the team cos they have contributory role by virtue of their training and presence on the wards post op. If the positions of scrub nurses and other ancillary staff cannot be filled in by the doctors or medical students present by virtue of their hands being filled rather than of incompetence, people in such fields can be outsourced to temporarily fill in that position; the contract staff you mentioned for instance. Even the position of a doctor can be outsourced sef. No one is irreplaceable.

Nurses no doubt will be required more on the wards post op, but I believe senior nurses in the management cadre will not join the strike. Even if they do, that can even be outsourced still.

You are the one creating bad blood..and sorry, the CMD was not being modest, go check their site and see the outlined names..Lab scientist not pathologist, both perioperative and Anaesthetic Nurses and even attendants were listed..Be informed.
Go through his press conference.

Auwal, a Professor of Paediatric Surgery, said the team of professionals that were deployed for the surgery included surgeons, anaesthetics, radiologists, laboratory scientists, preoperative nurses, and cleaners. “The surgery was conducted on May 14, and the chances of survival of the twins are excellent,” he said.
In there are JOHESU members so not all are doctors. A hospital who knows what a team stands for always make progress and advances among contemporaries.

[s]Even medical students too are part of the team cos they have contributory role by virtue of their training and presence on the wards post op[/s].
Medical students from which school, there's no medical school in and around Yola so I wonder where you are importing them from

No one is irreplaceable.

Watch your emotions boy,
Uncontrolled emotions leads to rage and usage of foul language.
It makes someone to have a poor sense of humor and it breeds sadistic nature.

And by the way, you are the first medical student I know that sleeps on social media,

Be careful before it turn into an addiction and affect results.

It's so obvious that you guys here are still bitter and raged over the "malaria and typhoid specialists " jibe?
What a show of insecurity
Tell me one health professions your seniors have not been insulting online?
Is it the pharmacists who you malaria and typhoid specialists call "mere dispensers"
Or
We nurses
Or medical laboratory scientists
Etc
How many times have we heard you guys say that johesu professionals couldn't pass the cut off to study medicine bla bla bla.
Sorry dear, toughen up and be a man,
Stop being a cry cry baby.
What goes around comes around.
.

And for the rest of your comments
Not all doctors who travelled to western countries are practicing,
Some end up doing petty non medical jobs to survive and save up money in order to leave the particular country to another country(though it's in a minority rate)
Some even go back to school there and venture into a new different career path.
.
.
I know Canada one of the western countries you guys look up to very well and being there many times.
Our last born is there doing his medicine, I can introduce him to you if you want.
.
.
And finally there is nothing like "auxiliary nurse "
Auxiliaries are not nurses but quacks, you can call them auxiliary doctors.
So your auxiliary jibe is dry and boring.

.
You are piling up big bitterness in your heart,
That means that the social media is gaining influence over you and you are still yet to graduate,
It's a bad way to start.
.
Loosen up and stop being emotional,
Me replying you does not mean that your comment is relevant,
It's just that I love to correct children.

dont bother yourself with amarabae. Everyone knows she's just a frustrated being who has dedicated her miserable life to insulting and fighting doctors. She wanted to study medicine but unfortunately couldn't pass WASSCE. In order to achieve something close to her dreams, she proceeded to one maternity home where she qualified as an Auxiliary Nurse. It's a shame shes here denying her profession as posing as a university nurse. I don't pity her, it's her husband I pity, she has made it her career to sit at home and be a liability to d husband and d whole family while channeling her energy to insulting and fighting doctors. That's why u see her on NL at odd hours looking for any opportunity to pour out her frustrations on doctors. Go through all her posts and you'll see they are all targeted at doctors while posing as d nurse that she isn't. Please, don't take her seriously and don't be angry at her, you know that when u carry so much hatred, bitterness and envy, it reduces quality of her mental faculties. Have it in mind that many are mad, but few are roaming. Amarabae is not roaming yet, but she will soon.

All these for me.
Jeez the hatred is deep.
Accept my sympathy.
Mr Bsc Physiology.
Continue to deceive yourself .
The bsc physiology lecturers that deceived you people that you guys are doctors are wicked.

Continue shouting auxiliary up and down,
Nobody takes you serious,
Even the quack auxiliaries we are fighting against have more job opportunities than your bsc physiology certificate grin grin
