Truth is bitter bro

What truth? You're speaking incoherently.

skyeblizz:
I assumed most people have forgotten we're still in a shit hole country where nothing works.No sector is spared including the health sector, so I think it will be grossly unfair undermining this people and their noble profession.
It's no more an argument this people are overworked, reason is not far fetched,we know the numbers of doctors leaving this shit hole yearly. And I think if they're not competent they won't be leaving and doing excellently well in countries with the best health services in the world.

It's a know fact that few hospitals are safe in the country due to the poor health services and not necessarily the competency of the doctors. Nigerian doctors are the ones practicing in the most hostile environment compared to other countries, they're short staffed, overworked, coupled with limitation of resources and with these they still give their best.

u are right, in addition some are owned by auxiliary nurses who poses as drs so they prescribe what they know to patient

How can an auxiliary nurse pose as a doctor? Is that not total insanity

Is the person not supposed to be registered with the medical council or what

What is the persons registration number that they suddenly metamorphosised into a doctor?

midnighter:


The lab scientist is supposed to work under the pathology department of the hospital. This was a method of outsourcing for cost since pathologists are expensive

Im not really sure what happened that people just open labs anyhow

Its more of a structural issue

Most labs where quackery is common place are not owned by Scientists, even some SLT and biology graduates are opening labs and challenging the MLSCN council.

Go and visit EL-Labs in surulere and see how a Scientist-owned labs are standardized to be run.

All over the world from South Africa to USA to Australia, Scientists are proprietors of labs with adequate quality management system.

Do your due diligence, except you have a certain 'political' narrative you are trying to promote here.

I have read and re-read it but I dont understand.

A functioning biomedical science department in a hospital is better than the half-baked labs we're seeing littered all over the metropolis.

If such is not available then a pathology department that outsources work to MLS to account for cost is still better than the insanity we are witnessing.

I dont see anything political about that, except if youre just emphasising that not all labs are unprofessional or quack-infested. Which of course, theyre not.

But most health-related scientific work should be absorbed into an associated hospital for proper integration of service, with exceptions for a few private labs of a high standard.

This is a true life story.....Went to a government hospital and I had headache and the Foolish idiot told me to take Ibuprofen .No jokes ,Na im I no sey God is in control

Two times a doctor would have killed me a pharmacist saved my life
I’ll rather consult a pharmacist now sef abeg



Coming from a pharmacologist that served in a hospital pharmacy department for a year , I’ve seen many things sha

Its wrong for a pharmacologist to work in a pharmacy

deuzgreat:

Anybody can work in a pharmacy; it depends on what they are doing. But only a pharmacist should be dispensing drugs, thats for sure.

midnighter:


Yeah, you are right about that.

And more respected too, hence the higher expectation on them. Heavy is the head that wears the crown...

But at the same time they can't be expected to work miracles in a faulty system. The patient:doctor ratio in this country is terrible and their workload is too much.

If conditions were more conducive they would do better

God bless you for that!

The company I work for has put preventing measures all over but staying at home is what I don't see happening. Whoever brought the idea of CONTRAT STAFF in this country will never know peace.

HBB1:


First, it was the Doctor gave you Ibuprofen for a headache (As if he committed murder doing so).

Now it is the pharmacist said the dose was too much?

What was the dose?
You don't know.

I am aware ibuprofen for an adult is usually 400mg, a pop, but can be as high as 800mg depending on circumstances.

So how are we sure you even know what you are saying, egbon?

Ibuprofen for headache is it migraine?


Shouldn't be dispenesed in the first place. We have simple analgesia for that

In his case he's experiencing headache, the differential diagnosis must be made, probably a tension not migraine without any aura or premonitory symptoms.

He's choice of drug is simple analgesics.

Anything NSAIDS isn't given a drug of choice for that.

Him having Ibuprofen (am NSAID) for a headache was no crime.

Don't know why or how this has become an issue.
Or what you are trying to prove.

If you check your formulary, you should see what Ibuprofen is used for.
I believe a simple tension headache will be one of the indications.

I am not going to continue this conversation, please.

Have a nice day.

I purposely didn't want to say tension headache. Since he doesn't have migraine. NSAiDS is never the drug of choice talkless of SAIDS. Stick with simple analgesics, rest therapy and perhaps drug intervention is in the first step in a diagnosis tree.

Oh dear!

You are raving over an OTC medication.
A medication anybody can buy, and have written an epistle for it.

Where is it said Ibuprofen cannot be used for a 'simple' headache.
Quite laughable really.

You are making a mountain out of a mole hill...

You are hell bent on vaunting your knowledge-- which is very impratical at best.

Anyway, suite yourself...

Cheers!

Well as said earlier, drug information labs would do you a helping hand.

nurain150:

Well in the West where I live and work-- in one of the best health systems in the world, their 'drug information labs' or whatever that means, allow you to take Ibuprofen for a headache.

Drug formularies too.

But it is fine really.

If your omniscient self says otherwise, then who am I?
A lowly nobody.

I should not be caught by my friends arguing over Ibuprofen.
So you win!

Are you really banging on about ibuprofen?

What is ibuprofen if not a simple analgesic?

This is how you people think you're undermining doctors whilst exposing that you really know little about your supposed area of expertise

Yeh ibuprofen is simple analgesics. When it was said you guys know nothing about drugs I just believed now.


Guy go ask your Lecturers if ibuprofen is a simple analgesics.

Lol. So you don't know what an NSAID is. And perhaps you can't even identify what class of NSAIDS is ibuprofen talkless of identification of the structures. Guy just diagnose Lol.


How can you open your mouth to say ibuprofen is a simple analgesic.


Please na. I'm begging stop capping.
