Story for the gods...

haryhorku:
NMA is an association not a union, JOHESU is a force (a union) that comprises of other health workers, physiotherapists, pharmacists, nurses, engineers, architects, radiographers, lab scientists, accountants, administrators, etc that are working in government hospitals either federal or state ( though all these professionals has their governing bodies)
back to your question, can doctor do the work of a nurse? an accountant? a lab scientist? an engineer? etc, which is NO?

JOHESU is a force?
What's that supposed to mean?
what you just described is a motley crowd of people with diverse origins and interests.
JOHESU indeed.

haryhorku:
my dear brother, don't tell me that a doctor can clean the wards, power the hospital, do the work of a security at the same time diagnose a patient? haba,,,,, u wan kill them ni,? and mind you, tell me is NMA relevant in private hospitals? i guess your answer will be YES!!! mind you JOHESU also is relevant, cos all medical professionals has their governing bodies. meanwhile, its Nigeria we are using as a case study, why you mentioned India and US? just accept the fact that NMA can not be relevant without JOHESU, via a vis, thanks.

NMA is not a union, like JOHESU.
JOHESU is not a governing body.
NMA members are doctors, and most private hospitals are headed by them.
Are the engineers and operators who power the generators part of JOHESU? I didn't know that. If they are, then I don't see the point of JOHESU.
My point is; Can a doctor do the activities you listed? YES
Can JOHESU members do the work of a doctor? NO.
Mind you, I am not saying JOHESU is not as important as doctors, but they are not equal, anywhere in the world.

I don't about Nigeria, but where I school here in France, girls start dating 15.
Je vais a l'Ecole du Saint Pete.

sogodihno:

Lolzzz......Sha! continuing lying
I dont understand y u guys wanna kill urself, i was reading an article today wia Dr. paul said that he almost kill himself wen FG accede to JOHESU demand on consultancy. lolz funny people. My advice to u guys is, pls dont kill urself now, let experience dz change together.......CHANGE IN NIGERIA HEALTH SECTOR IS INEVITABLE. d earlier u guys realise d beta for u. God bless Nigeria

It is no skin off my nose if record officers or lab scientists become consultants. What you don't seem to realize is that a consultant pharmacist or scientist makes no difference WHATSOEVER in the clinical outcome of the patient, than more that is achievable now.
I challenge you to prove me wrong on the points I raised in my first post.

haryhorku:
is anybody here working in any federal government hospital? I guess non. I work in a federal government hospital and whatam about to tell u its a reality, Doctors can never, I repeat can never attend to any patient without other JOHESU, if u know hospital set up very well, u will understand what am talking about, a new patient that want to see a medical doctor will pass thru this process: 1. a medical record officer will attend to you, they wil be yhe one that will bring out your case file or better still open a new case file for you, 2. its a Nurse that will take your vital signs, its after these procedure that u can not see a doctor, after seeing a doctor, a doctor.cannot diagnose u without 3. its now the medical lab scientist will now conduct a test or series of tests on you, as recommended by the doctor, after that u go to pharmacy to buy.ya drugs,. 4.go to physiotherapy, 5. dental clinic (as the case maybe,) 6. pay for their bills.
so pls my fellow nairalanders, tell me how can a doctor work effectively without JOHESU, I.never mention, the engineers that will power the clinics, wards, (hospital as whole) orderlies that will clean the hospital, accountant that will collect money, security that will secure li es and properties, my dear brothers and sister, there is no way government will be giving NMA a preferential treatment at the detriment of JOHES, we are both relevant in Health Sector. thank you.

With all due respect, all the activities you mentioned can be carried out by the doctor, although in a private setting. JOHESU is only relevant in government hospitals.
Expect the future where majority of healthcare will be privately owned, like the US and India, and we will see what becomes of JOHESU.

pharmguru:


you dont know much about pharmacists....do you?
see, pharmacists are not stuck to the hospital like you guys. they can always find a place outside the hospital. the doctors know that and so, in the actual sense, they are the ones feeling threatened by the pharmacists.
and because of their fears of losing most of their work to the pharmacists, they are fighting seriously to inhibit any form of growth in pharmacy education. Little wonder they were alarmed when the issue of PHARM.D came up. they knew that with any slight increase in the parmacists' clinical knowledge, they will be faced with stiff competition.
so dear, its the doctors that are feeling threatened by the pharmacists. and you know what?...i think the doctors "FEAR" secretly that shud the FG meet the demands of JOHESU, they will lose some of their respects and meet with stiff competition. that kinda explain the reason for their strike action. but dont worry sha....it will remain "our little secret".....hahaha

Pray tell, why should doctors feel "threatened" that pharmacists "can always find a place outside the hospital"?
How do pharmacists working outside the hospital result in doctors losing their jobs?
Pharmacists want the degree to be upgraded to a doctorate, and you don't want to be bothered about acquiring more qualifications through postgraduate training?
"More clinical knowledge".Are you suggesting your primary degree is inadequate?
Do you know a lot of pharmacists in Nigeria(over 90%) work with local pharmaceutical companies (Orange, Neimeth, Emzor) not as pharmacists but sales reps?
That virtually all drugstores and pharmacies in Nigeria are not run by licensed pharmacists?
What have you done about it?
My questions are rhetorical, do not bother replying.

Kaeboy:
shutup my friend u talk as if u r nt living in nigeria infact wat u jux said is d dafest and dumbesrt comment ever.....is he d first to b handed over to d police....wt info did dy got out of it Mtcheeeew

They should have chop his body into pieces before burning the eeedddioooot! That's why I love Nigerians!!! Good work, may more of em comes ur way and you burn em to death, my Gombe people!

"That's why I love Nigerians"??
Because they're good at roasting people? ?
Dafuq you're talking about?

Hitler popularized the Volkswagen Beetle, and people drove it
So, what's your point?
By the way, Tim Cook being CEO of Apple doesn't mean he created the iPhone. Jobs did.

, reminds me of my high school bestie, she had a crush on this dude living in the same street with her, to get his attention, she walked the street severally; on a particular day and the guy called her. In excitement, she sashayed towards him and with the most charming smile and voice, she said yeah, he looked at her and asked, why have you been aimlessly perambulating this street.

So?
What was her reply,?

Aids: Origin of pandemic 'was 1920s Kinshasa'
By James Gallagher
Health editor, BBC News website
3 October 2014 From the section Health
Kinshasa, pictured in 1955, was at the centre of the
pandemic, scientists say
The origin of the Aids pandemic has been traced to the
1920s in the city of Kinshasa, in what is now the
Democratic Republic of Congo, scientists say.
An international team of scientists say a "perfect storm"
of population growth, sex and railways allowed HIV to
spread.
A feat of viral archaeology was used to find the pandemic's
origin, the team report in the journal Science.
They used archived samples of HIV's genetic code to trace
its source, with evidence pointing to 1920s Kinshasa.
Their report says a roaring sex trade, rapid population
growth and unsterilised needles used in health clinics
probably spread the virus.
Meanwhile Belgium-backed railways had one million people
flowing through the city each year, taking the virus to
neighbouring regions.
Experts said it was a fascinating insight into the start of
the pandemic.
HIV came to global attention in the 1980s and has infected
nearly 75 million people.
It has a much longer history in Africa, but where the
pandemic started has remained the source of considerable
debate.
Family affair
A team at the University of Oxford and the University of
Leuven, in Belgium, tried to reconstruct HIV's "family
tree" and find out where its oldest ancestors came from.
The research group analysed mutations in HIV's genetic
code.
"You can see the footprints of history in today's genomes,
it has left a record, a mutation mark in the HIV genome
that can't be eradicated," Prof Oliver Pybus from the
University of Oxford told the BBC.
By reading those mutational marks, the research team
rebuilt the family tree and traced its roots.
HIV is a mutated version of a chimpanzee virus, known as
simian immunodeficiency virus, which probably made the
species-jump through contact with infected blood while
handling bush meat.
The virus made the jump on multiple occasions. One event
led to HIV-1 subgroup O which affects tens of thousands in
Cameroon.
Yet only one cross-species jump, HIV-1 subgroup M, went
on to infect millions of people across every country in the
world.
The answer to why this happened lies in the era of black
and white film and the tail-end of the European empires.
In the 1920s, Kinshasa (called Leopoldville until 1966) was
part of the Belgian Congo.
Prof Oliver Pybus said: "It was a very large and very rapidly
growing area and colonial medical records show there was a
high incidence of various sexually transmitted diseases."
Sex and railways
Large numbers of male labourers were drawn to the city,
distorting the gender balance until men outnumbered
women two to one, eventually leading to a roaring sex
trade.
Prof Pybus added: "There are two aspects of
infrastructure that could have helped.
"Public health campaigns to treat people for various
infectious diseases with injections seem a plausible route
[for spreading the virus].
"The second really interesting aspect is the transport
networks that enabled people to move round a huge
country."
Around one million people were using Kinshasa's railways by
the end of the 1940s.
The virus spread, with neighbouring Brazzaville and the
mining province, Katanga, rapidly hit.
Those "perfect storm" conditions lasted just a few decades
in Kinshasa, but by the time they ended the virus was
already starting to spread around the world.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the
immune system
Prof Jonathan Ball, from the University of Nottingham,
told the BBC: "It's a fascinating insight into the early
phases of the HIV-1 pandemic.
"It's the usual suspects that are most likely to have helped
the virus get a foothold in humans - travel, population
increases and human practices such as unsafe healthcare
interventions and prostitution.
"Perhaps the most contentious suggestion is that the
spread of the M-group viruses had more to do with the
conditions being right than it had to do with these viruses
being better adapted for transmission and growth in
humans. I'm sure this suggestion will prompt interesting
and lively debate within the field."
Dr Andrew Freedman, a reader in infectious diseases at
Cardiff University, said: "It does seem an interesting
study demonstrating very elegantly how HIV spread in the
Congo region long before the Aids epidemic was recognised
in the early 80s.
"It was already known that HIV in humans arose by cross
species transmission from chimpanzees in that region of
Africa, but this study maps in great detail the spread of
the virus from Kinshasa, it was fascinating to read."

Guys be like..

The strike was called off before the month of September. Why is Fashola doing this?

adeoladrg:


Sperm constitute of a lot of nutrients, regular losing of sperm leads to weakness of our body. It's where you have the highest number of mitochondria in the body, that's why it takes your body a number of days to recuperate after a round of sex.

How does mitochondria lost in sperm cause weakness in the body? Is the energy generated by these mitochondria used by the body or the spermatozoa?
What do you mean by the body "recuperating" after sex?
BTW, liver cells probably have more mitochondria than spermatozoa.

adeoladrg: This guy can't live long, except I didn't do my anatomy well. Going into it big time is going to cost him.







Buh think of it, he'll be the real 'father of all nations' God only planned that title for Abraham

What part of your "anatomy" says he can't live long?

FP, pls!
However, op should summarise this piece.
Nlders have notorious short attention spans.

I was catfished yesterday.
I hooked up with this ?beautiful gal on a popular online dating forum. She was/is exquisitely beautiful, with large, liquid, limpid eyes you could drown yourself in. She had a flawless skin.We chatted, exchanged BBM PINs, phone numbers, the whole nine yards.
I dished out my spiel and we finally agreed to meet at a Captain Cook's outlet.
My brimming anticipation turned to dismay when I saw her.
She had the dirtiest sclera (white part of the eyes) I have ever seen and(this brought tears to my eyes) two long, vertical tribal marks on her cheeks.
Her face was so heavily made up she had trouble smiling.
I was sure if I had scratched her face I would have revealed more imperfections.
Now all these didn't really detract from the fact that despite the few flaws she has (who doesn't), she was still beautiful. What beats me was going all the way to hide them to attract someone. Someone you intend to meet.

kaorama: With all the challenges Nigerians are bringing upon Nigeria, the country remains the hope of Africa. If only APC will have a change of heart and refrain from voilence, Nigeria is a good place.

Story for the gods..

My '03 EOD makes this rhythmic, cyclical dull sound in the front wheels when I am on motion. The sound is particularly distinct when on smooth, newly-paved roads.
I have taken it to different mechanics with different explanations; engine seats, wheel hubs .
My dilemma is no one seems to be SURE of the cause, and I don't want to spend money replacing any of these only for the sound to remain. I don't know if ezperienced guys in the house can hazard a guess as to the cause?
Also, on 2 different occasions, my engine jerked while in drive with the brakes applied. This has happened only twice. My mechanic inspected it and could find nothing wrong with it. Any possible explanations, guys?

datguru: Crap always making front page since 2005 . SMH

Haters, hatin' since 79A.D.

EMANY01:
For sure there were nurses , laboratory attendants and others in the health care ecosystem.The doctors were not/are not the only individuals involved.
That's the point the poster to whom you were responding to was making

It is so obvious that that's not the point he was trying to make.
BTW, how can you speak for him?
