It still boils down to what I said about a clinical pharmacist's job, which is to review prescriptions. He reviews them by making recommendations to doctors in the form of advice. Teaching here doesn't mean that he's teaching them. It means giving them advice on safe drug prescriptions. He also said that he attends to questions about drugs. It's still not different from what i said. His job is solely focused on his drug prescription review and advice. Here, pharmacists will want to dictate to doctors, instead of offering advice.

Period007:

Who gave him the right to dispense drugs with ordinary Pharmacology

mannyiyke:
Maybe, I should ask you: what knowledge does pharmacists have to be siting IV lines and treating patients? Are they doctors to be doing it?

Period007:

Small boy read this and change ur altitude towards other professionals,u cannot decide to remain crude in ur practice and assume others wouldn't wants to advance

Period007:

Lol this guy is brain dead,I should go there?
Have u been there before?

Olodo, I've told you that Nigerian pharmacists can't even manufacture drugs, yet they want to go on ward rounds like the White men. They should get their acts right before shouting of international best practices. In Nigeria, a pharmacist who doesn't even know much about drugs will want to rush to the wards and stop prescriptions made by doctors without first consulting the doctors who made the prescriptions. And that's why they have added the word "doctor" to their title so as to deceive the unsuspecting patients. You people must earn yourself respect first. Move into the drug manufacturing sector and prove yourself first. Nigeria spends a lot in importing drugs, while we have pharmacists who are only interested in paper qualification, without delivering any result.

Period007:

Its obvious Nigerian Physicians fear Pharmacists wants to take over their limited jobs,they want them to remain dispensers forever but the status quo has changed.Their Physicians counterparts in clime countries are advancing in medicine performing head transplant etc but here there want to remain treating typhoid,malaria and catarrh making the country spend billions on medical tourism

Limited jobs? You're sick in the brain. Even though jobs are scarce, doctors must certainly find places to work, but pharmacists hardly get a job. Some of them end up being sales representatives. Go to UNTH Enugu and see what Prof. Aghagbo, a cardiothoracic surgeon, has been doing. He has been doing heart transplant for years. Many urologists in Nigeria now do renal transplant. Two years ago, a Nigerian paediatric surgeon performed surgery that separated Siamese twins. The news went wild then. The reverse is the case for Nigerian pharmacists. Just list any pharmacist who has achieved any feat in Nigeria.

Period007:

Medical sales rep that can make a consultants monthly salary in 3 weeks
Remove government jobs and see how 80% of doctors become jobless

Period007:

Go and tell ur senior colleagues to start performing advance surgeries like head transplants like their counterparts all over the world,tell them to not only be treating catarrh and headaches.our government cant not waste money training them and its citizens including the president still spending billions on medical tourism

Mtcheeew. I used to rep for may and baker, them go frustrate your life die. I still wonder how I survived it. U go hammer small from mark up sha, it's not every time, sometimes u gat to use the mark up to save ur ass when balancing account

Technology is the issue when it comes to facial transplant. No doctor ventures into a facial transplant when he cannot make it. Computers for printing 3-D images are costly. Dentists (called prosthodontists) involved in that area are doing their best to manufacture orofacial and head prostheses that can be used by head and neck surgeons, but they need government support. There's no stable electricity for all these laudable projects. They are experts. After all, gynecologists are doing IVF here, helping childless couples. Aghagbo at the UNTH Enugu has been performing heart transplant for years.

Period007:

Have u read this?
U think u know everything but yet u don't know Pharmacists go on
1.Pharmacist only ward rounds
2.Pharmacists + consultants ward rounds etc
I bet u still don't know Pharmacists are now doing residency In the usa.
My guy pharmacy practice has advanced since u cant browse with ur phone just try and leave the village where u practice,go to teaching hospitals and FMCs and see clinical pharmacy practice and Pharmaceutical care in patients care

; it's just the same residency nurses do too. It's not a serious thing. They're doing it so that they can work in old people's homes

mannyiyke:
Those pharmacists and patent medicine dealers who do it are quacks. They endanger people's lives.

Period007:

And he finally submits to technology...

Period007:

Medical sales rep that can make a consultants monthly salary in 3 weeks
Remove government jobs and see how 80% of doctors become jobless

Period007:

Its obvious.....according To every Nigerian doctors what others are doing are not a serious thing just theirs yet the cannot treat their president

mannyiyke:
I didn't say that they don't work in the production section. All I said is that it's foreign pharmacists that oversee the drug production. The foreign pharmacists have the final say on drug production there. Take a trip to those companies and see for yourself. After all, Nigerian engineers work in construction companies here, but the foreign engineers are the ones in charge.

mannyiyke:
are the you one treating him since the pandemic came into being? I've never heard that he has made a foreign trip since then?

Period007:

Haven't u heard of
Stella okoli( second richest woman in Nigeria)production pharmacIst con multi billionaire
Ifeanyi okoye.....production pharmacIst con multi billionaire
Olakunle Ekundayo ....production pharmacIst con multi billionaire

mannyiyke:
Make what? I know them quite well. They're the ones coming to hospital to beg doctors to patronise them. So, 90 percent of Nigerian pharmacists are not government workers too? 80 percent of Nigerian doctors become jobless? Government even begs Nigerian doctors. If they leave government employment, they can set up their own hospitals. It's Nigerians that will suffer for it, including you, because you cannot do without doctors. Right now, most of them are leaving to America and Europe. Even Saudi Arabia pays Nigerian doctors handsomely.

mannyiyke:
How many Nigerian pharmacists are richer than doctors? These are just three persons in the league of numerous pharmacists in Nigeria. It's needless arguing further with you. It has turned to a childish thing.

Period007:

Abeg how many indigenous pharmaceutical companies can pay foreign expatriates in Nigeria.
U no get better talk again

Period007:

Haha Abeg find that popular thread on Nairaland asking between doctors and pharmacIst who are richer in Nigeria and see many responses.
Remove federal government jobs and see many doctors earning 80 to 120k

mannyiyke:
Nobody said there that Nigerian pharmacists are richer. All these big hospitals are owned by doctors. How many pharmaceutical production industries do we even have in Nigeria? It's just few. We import virtually everything from abroad. So, where do we even have those rich pharmacists in the first place?
