Nigeria is a country where mediocrity is celebrated and hard work is despised. Going from this I would ask some germaine questions.
1.Of what benefit and what clinical roles would a consultant pharmacist or nurse add to patient care within a hospital?
2.why did the govt decide to recognize an amorphous body called Johesu which consist of different professionals. rather than addressing the need and plausibility of the demands of each professional group rseparately rather than a gang up making widerange demands both reasonable and outright ludicrous.
3.why is the depth of knowledge with regards to patient care disregarded?pathology is the bedrock of medicine. and that separates medical training from other health disciplines. diseases start from pathophysiology.

4.why are doctors so despised and funny enough when the chips are down and the same group of people especially Johesu run cap in hand to seek the consultation of those people they despise. I see a lot of matrons do that in UCH.
5. The person who bears the maximum risk should take the most glory. is that not logical. the doctor takes even the blame for the error of a nurse. lab technologist. at the end of the day the patient would say " the doctors killed the patient albeit something he wasn't responsible for or just a natural progression of the disease. Every one hunts the most glory.
I honestly think we should address issue not sensationalizing things. only idiots make up their mind before hitting the real issues.
