Name one good thing you have benefited from the government

For me...

I paid 'peanut' as school fee during my undergraduate medical training. In some countries you work for many years to offset government loans for training

mencade5: i send the curse back to you. Receive it in many folds.

See mumu ooo. Its people like you that is killing nigeria with this i dont care attitude.

You never see anything

I suppose u r above 25yrs

I suppose you're an undergraduate or a graduate

I suppose you're mature enough

I suppose you've got a job /working

I suppose you're married!!!

I suppose you're a worker in the health sector


Assuming one of these is correct then I plead with u, your abuses on fellow human beings are well beyond anyone possessing any of the above suppositions!

Pls, you're far better than those who display such characters!!!!

Do something about your ease and freedom to abuse!!

Thank you

Good one @bushdoc9199!!

I sent u a mail, do well to reply. Thanks in advance!!!!

Giifted: This is Nigeria not liberia, if u love Liberia so much, what's stopping u from packing up ur stuffs and going there for good?
All dis good-for-nothing empty heads will still betalking when others are talking. Rubbish!

I assume u r mature enough not to use those words on your fellows!!!

You must not abuse to make a point!!!

Elythron16zero4: what are u waiting 4. even at 100years you can start to be one so that when u are 106yrs God help u if there is no strike may be u will be 106+ b4 u can be a doctor and then start earning as you said they deserve it. I have said it on this platform doctors are not the most important and no profession can equally claim that. All work together to achieve success. I wonder what the doctors will use to treat/cure their patients if pharmacist withdraws all drugs or other allied heath workers fold their arms and allow them to do the job alone. Yet they think they are superman. None of the equipment used in the hospitals by the doctors were made by any of them; the engineers made them, i wonder what they can do if the equipment are not there yet they claim to be all and all. Na wa oh

Pure jealousy!! Must u always use doctors for comparison

The report below is what you get when u appoint consultant pharmacists and nurses...... chaos and abuse!!!!!

@Trusall, that's the problem we have in this clime!!!

[quote]Report has it that the hornets’ nest was
stirred when consultant nurses and
pharmacists were appointed at UCH and
other teaching hospitals, a development
that did not go well with the doctors.
According to the Medical and Dental Council
of Nigeria (MDCAN), the situation became
unbearable when, “consultant nurses
prevented surgeons, who performed surgical
procedures on patients from inspecting the
surgical wounds of their own patients.” In a
press conference at Ibadan, the President of
MDCAN, Dr Olusegun Ayodeji Oluwole
narrated how a Consultant Plastic Surgeon
was barred from reviewing the surgical
wound he created post-operatively because
a “Consultant Nurse” had reviewed the
wound earlier and was satisfied with her
findings. Also at the Nnamdi Azikwe
University Teaching Hospital Awka, a
“Consultant Pharmacist” was reported to
have invaded the wards with his team,
canceled patients’ prescriptions and
demanded that a Consultant Cardiologist
remove a key drug in an in-patient
prescription, on grounds that the drug has
some known adverse effects.
On the heel of these developments, the NMA
commenced an indefinite strike after issuing
a 24-point demand to the government, one
of which include the discontinuation of non-
medical doctors as Directors and
Consultants in a teaching hospital[/ quote]

Dr Casy, I see you!!!

Hahaha!! Funny indeed!!

Leopantro: someone made a wrong statement two weeks ago and because of that statement, countless Nigerians bathed with salt and 5 Nigerians died.

5 Only??

Thank you for educating that fellow!!
Next time he will substantiate his claims!!!

Let's watch as the drama play out!!

I knew from onset that government can't win on this!!

Divepen: I think it is, as you said earlier, exposure of these children that makes them go into it.
I remember, when I was around 11...It was introduced to me by my cousin, who had been exposed to it.
At first, I resisted but when I was able to witness a live one,by someone close to me- An adult, I rushed to my cousin and told her we should do what the close relative and her boyfriend were doing.
I thank God most of the things we did was romancing, but a knowledge helped me stopped it.
The knowledge of what my mother told me about sex when I was 8 or so. Whenever, I remembered all what she thought me, I prayed for Forgiveness from God (as a christain). In fact, that knowledge was the force that never made me stopped it at all and helped me survive that series.

So, I think parent should give their children Se.x education early.

Children learn fast from what they see you do, hear from you!! And innocently, they think it is how life should be lived!!!
But it never end there, they go a step further to experiment it innocently, as observed!!
So parents should watch it!!

Staph is not a disease, it's a bacterium that can exist safely in many part of the body.
It can cause different diseases with different symptoms if it get to certain parts of the body!
My advice is meet a doctor who will observe your symptoms and send u to appropriate laboratory investigations and subsequently treat you!!!
What you have may not be staphylococcus infection!!
Don't waste ur money that way, just follow it right!! Thanks.

Read for your good, not for your sympathy but to let u know more about the Nigerian doctor


Slaves of the M.O.D, Exposé:

Nigerian Ministry of Defence Owes Doctors and Interns
Salaries For 6 Months
There is a very sad situation affecting the brightest of our youngest
minds.
Medical doctors who were employed as House Officers and the
interns in other paramedic disciplines undergoing their One-year
compulsory training in the 5 Reference Hospitals under the Ministry of
Defence, have not been paid their salaries since they were appointed
6 months ago!
The hospitals involved in this scandal are:
•The 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Yaba
•Military Hospital, Lagos
•44 NARHY, Kaduna
•Nigerian Navy Reference hospital, Ojo
•Nigerian Airforce Reference Hospital, Ikeja.
Normal civil service practices stipulate that normally, interns and
House Officers are not paid until 2 or 3 months after employment, but
these doctors have been counting down the months since receiving
their appointment letters in February (2014) with no hope of when
they are even going to get paid.
Various pleas to the authorities in their various hospitals have fallen
on deaf ears as the doctors are always being told that their salaries
are coming from the Ministry of Defence headquarters in Abuja.
Letters delivered to the Ministry of Defence by the interns always go
unanswered.
To make matters worse, doctors in these 5 affected hospitals are not
allowed to go on strike actions and they are the only government
hospitals that have been working in full capacity during the strike
action embarked on by the Nigerian Medical Association.
The patient loads in these hospitals have tripled since the strike and
the hospitals, especially the Army hospitals, have not paid a dime as
compensation to these health workers who have been enslaved by the
system they've found themselves in.
The Ebola Threat
Added to the myriads of troubles these doctors are facing already is
the Ebola threat which arrived Nigeria with the entrance of the late Mr.
Patrick Sawyer .
The doctors are made to take General Outpatient calls, meaning that
they are the first contact with all kinds of patients even when the
hospitals have not provided any kind of protective gear for the
doctors.
All there is on ground, are the face masks and hand gloves which
serve only minimal protective functions. The emergency rooms remain
as broken down as those in any government hospital and with the
heavy patient loads in these hospitals, it is almost impossible for
doctors to observe proper precaution. These hospitals offer no form of
insurance cover or hazard allowance for the increased health risks
their doctors face daily.
The situation appears to be most pathetic at the 68, Nigerian Army
Reference Hospital in Yaba where doctors under anonymous sources
have complained of been overworked and understaffed.
While the Airforce base hospital in Ikeja is highly selective with the
kind of patients the doctors attend to, the military hospital in Yaba
(which is a next door neighbour to the Infectious Diseases Hospital
where the Ebola patients are quarantined in Lagos) accepts all kinds
of patients as the hospital has enjoyed a financial boost throughout
the strike period.
Bed of Corruption
Dr. Orji (not real names) spoke of moving to Lagos from Enugu for his
housemanship with all excitement but has been forced to depend on
his aged parents to continue sending him money from their meagre
pensions.
“I thought that my life would be different now, but almost 7 months
into my training, the medical students are better than me.”
He continues, “My hospital (Yaba) makes millions daily from this
strike but nobody has asked us doctors how we are faring. The other
day, we were asked to pay 4,000 Naira for sanitation fees otherwise
they would kick us out of the accommodation premises that were
assigned to us. Where do they think the money will come from?”
These appalling conditions are what medical doctors and interns who
left school less than a year ago, are being put through by their
country. Some few individuals in the top echelon of the ministry of
defence — emboldened by the silence of the heads of these hospitals 
— have conspired to sit on the salaries these doctors have worked
hard for, and at the same time, exposing them to all the risks and
hazards imaginable.
These monies which have been approved and released, are fixed in
bank deposits where they are rolled over every month with the ogas at
the top profiting from the sweat of the young men and women who
are doing all the work under the most inhumane conditions.
Is it any wonder why every young doctor is struggling to leave the
country?
As it is, there is nothing here for them.

Hehehehe! I just d laugh una!!! Berry better my foot!!

I'M AFRAID OF EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY!!!

WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO??

Originalsly: How does the mother know the fetus is deformed? I don't agree with such an abortion.....if the fetus is to die let it die a natural death.

Some deformed fetuses when born can't survive more than few minutes. Some may not even survive d pregnancy e.g anencephaly...... without brain.
Such can be terminated!!!

However some minor deformities like absence of hands Or six toes and fingers can be managed, hence not terminated!!!

All these can be detected by some imaging and biochemical tests.
