Thegamingorca: I asked you a question cos it boggles the mind on what the US doctor thinks amongst other things one would use to manage tumor lysis syndrome which is a common sequelae from taking chemotherapy.  Kindly type your post in simple English for clarity. What's with all these jargon? I bet if I reply you in words only engineers use you won't understand a word. |

Thegamingorca: So the fact that augmentin and other gsk products not in circulation or and are banned for lack of nafdac number in Naija market. Does that now mean that the drugs will now be bad?!
If you don't know, lol from your submission it is clear that the pharmacist was expressing displeasure about the prescription because he was going to miss selling medications he had that could cover what was ailing your dad at the time and not necessarily happy that your father had been prescribed quality drugs that he did not have to sell by the doctor.
Especially if your dad is on federal or state health insurance. 
I empathize with the loss of your dad but pls you need to move on and Stop feeling like the doctors in Nigeria are your enemies. This is exactly the problem with you all...arrogance and always thinking you have the monopoly of knowledge. You never recognize the the importance of other professions in the medical industry... How can you say the pharmacist had other motives for a drug that Nafdac was going pharmacy to pharmacy to remove from their shelves..you guys are just irredeemable  You are now suggesting to know more than a pharmacist on a drug related issue  This is a Nigerian problem cos Doctors outside the shores of this country are always open to new knowledge, opinions and ideas from others. |

jaephoenix: This drug is used as an adjunct in treatment of cancers. And it is used to reduce the effect of high calcium from breakdown of bone tissue. So I don't know what US doc means. The Nigerian docs were right. The best way to know the CoD for your dad was to do an autopsy, then you can sue the docs with evidence, not on the words of a single doc The adverse effects alone for the particular drug will cover 2 pages if you look it up on google. Someone without any medical practice will be hesitant to administer this drug on a strong patient not to talk of someone who has been bedridden they have been managing for 5 years... The US doctor said the Nigerian doctors erred in administering the drug given the advanced stage of my late father's illness. Do you know there was a time the doctors wrote a prescription for him only for me to get to the pharmacy and the pharmacist said the medicine has been banned and withdrawn? The pharmacist had to speak with the doctor on the phone to register his displeasure only for the doctor to insist that the drug was still safe and very much in use and I must get it if he is to continue with the treatment? All these happened in a government hospital where you have all the specialists and consultants. |

They prescribed a drug that killed my dad who was suffering from prostate cancer.  After injecting him with it his condition deteriorated and he died after few days. A doctor in the US after reviewing treatment my late dad received concluded they shouldn't have administered that particular drug.  The annoying part is doctors are always not held accountable and they are always exhibiting nonchalant attitude together with their nurses from hell. |

linearity: If you conclude that, a Chief Priest is not a native doctor, It then means you have a very narrow definition of who is a native doctor.
A Native Doctor in my definition is someone that intercedes between the living and the spirit world and prays to the spirit world or personalities on behalf of the living.
A Chief Priest does the same thing on behalf of the Community, in fact he or she is the aka Chief Native Doctor appointed or ordained by the gods to be the only individual that can come before them to intercede on behalf of the community.
The major distinction that I find between both is that, Chief Priests are not for private hire, their focus is the community and they are chosen aka by the gods.
If your definition of a native doctor is limited to just someone who have good knowledge of local herbs and can mix them for people to heal their illnesses, then you are correct.
However my definition transcends that definition because native doctors in our society have up their game and we have many people in our community that also have good knowledge of herbs and their prescriptions also works but we do not necessarily call them native doctors. My definition is not narrow. They are not the same,most people like you will not know. Some of the differences between the two: A native doctor can operate in any location A Priest is restricted to a shrine A native doctor can call on many gods/power A Priest is dedicated to one deity. A native doctor prepares charms/talisman..e.t.c A Priest doesn't. Anyone can become a native doctor The role of a Priest is reserved. |
