Health / Re: JOHESU Heads To National Industrial Court (NIC) by VantagePoint: 9:36am On Jul 08, 2014 |
YourHealthlabs: Nigerians brace up, 80% of professionals and workers in the health sector will soon withdraw their services.Are you saying sheer numbers should dictate who gets what? I may not know a lot about the medical system, but I have always wondered what the point of JOHESU is? How can a myriad of different healthcare professionals (pharmacists, nurses, medical laboratory scientists, etc) form an umbrella group separate from another set of healthcare professionals (doctors) ? why don't they have their own individual professional or industrial bodies? Are we trying to say these bodies (apart from doctors) don't have internal squabbles just like JOHESU and NMA? I believe no set of healthcare professionals is indispensable. I also see both sides as selfish, because they're forgetting the primary reason for their profession-the patients. 2 Likes |

coogar:Well said. The harpies who call themselves feminists on this thread are trying to downplay the recreation part for females, as if they were a log of wood, a mere receptacle for the guy's seed, not willing and consenting partners in the action. They make out that the baby is the product of the man's seed alone, not knowing it takes to make a baby. This is the 21st century; most ladies cannot lay claim to ignorance about the myriads of contraception, and any lady who gets pregnant for a guy who is clearly not ready for a baby and decides to keep it only is a leech and a parasite. |

Mondisweets: Whether a man wants a child or not is irrelevant. Fact remains, a child exists and both parents have a legal duty to ensure that that best interests of that child are met!After you have been summarily dispatched,you now realize you can put forward your arguments without invectives like 'goat' ,'fool' , etc. You really should have let sleeping cougars lie (pun intended). |

coogar:Spot on! Unfortunate beings like her argue vociferously with little or no knowledge. Imagine her harping on 'condoms break' as if there are no other forms of contraception! This is someone who advocates abstinence in one breath but admits using oral contraceptives in another(don't buy that spiel about hormonal imbalance). Even though the sexx is consensual, she thinks only the male should pay through the nose for it. |

Mondisweets: this is absolute rubbish if a man can prove that the mother is in a better financial position than him, the the court may decide to put more financial obligations on her instead!Are you trying to say the guy is paying off breastfeeding, diaper changing and care of the baby? Does this continue till age 18 ? You're letting sentiment becloud your reasoning and getting heated up. Calm down before you pop an artery or something. |

Mondisweets:Noted. Financial support though is largely borne by the father-medical bills, education, upkeep, etc. Child support by the biological father should be a responsibility, not an obligation. It is certainly an admirable and noble trait to support your offspring, born out of wedlock. It shows accountability and maturity. However, it certainly shouldn't be mandatory or obligatory for the very simple reason that BOTH partners were willing, and knew the risks. The law is an ass; the same 'brains' that deem it right for ONLY the father to pay child support also legalize same sex unions. |

Mondisweets:What's your point? That women shouldn't bother knowing all these, since they're coerced or drugged or molested everytime there is se.x? That we should shelve contraceptives because they're not "100% safe" ? Contraceptives do work-especially implants and IUDs-if used correctly. I agree with you that anyone engaging in unprotected se.x should be fully aware and ready for the possible outcome. What I don't understand is why you're playing the victim card for females. Last time I checked, se.x is usually consensual. |

Proffdada: It's the way you view madness. Which simply is the torment of demons leading to disorientation. It maybe lack of proper communication with the environment,but the soul is what lives after death and is an accumulation of one's life and activities. Even in madness the soul accumulates virtue and vice which will determine its terminus in afterlife. To sum it up,a madman will still be judged irrespective of his madness.A word for all you typed above... NONSENSE. |

Mondisweets: you really making it hard for me not to insult you with your nonsenscial posts! How is it leeching if the money will be used on the child! So the child is now leeching his/her father abiAre you saying sex should be STRICTLY for procreation? I am sure you're aware that a married couple can have an unwanted pregnancy, for financial reasons or otherwise. Abortions may be extreme for some, and that's why there are different types of contraception to choose from-implants, IUCDs, pills, depot injections, and so on.And they are all available in Nigeria. Any guy who has unprotected s.ex with a girl(without any form of contraception) and is not ready for the consequences is a fool ; any lady that yields to such a guy is a greater fool. |

Tallesty1:"Do something stupid to a girl"! Listen to yourself! So s.ex is one -sided thing, with the man to be held solely responsible? Use your brain instead and leave sentiment out of it! So women breastfeed and nurse children up to 18 years of age! Stop playing the victim card for females as if they were molested or drugged or something. In case you don't know, a lot of girls do it to ensnare guys financially. Even 10 year olds know unprotected s.ex can result in pregnancy, and if both willing partners don't use protection, they should BOTH bear the support financially. Afterall, it takes two to make a baby. 3 Likes |

coogar:They're not the same. It's called VASectomy because it involves cutting/tying of the VAS DEFERENS which carries s.emen from the balls to the John Thomas, and is found only in males. In females, it is tubal ligation as it involves ligating (tying and/or cutting) of the Fallopian tubes, found only in females. 1 Like |

Tallesty1:Yes, that's how I reason. Whose baby is it :the man, the woman or both? Why should I be the SOLE financial support of the child I contributed to HALF of it's formation? Note that child support cases expect you to pay for upkeep, medical bills, and education up to 18 years of age. Why is the mother not required to pay for child support? 3 Likes |

Tallesty1: What are you even saying? If you are bold enough to fvck and impregnate a gal then you must also be strong and brave enough to stand up and be a father. Stop denying your responsibilities.What do you mean by "bold enough"?. Unless it was rape, the s.ex was consensual with both of them fully aware of the outcome; it takes TWO to make a baby, why should ONE person be saddled with child support, especially when he msde it clear he wasn't ready to raise a child? If the girl wants to keep the child, let her go ahead and do that.She wasn't raped. 1 Like |

APC will blame PDP for the Brazilian incident and vice versa. Boko Haram will say their cell in Brazil is responsible.

Nice one, Pharm. I have this on and off pain in my tummy, the lower left side.The pain will build up gradually and becomes very severe only for it to disappear after a few minutes. Afterwards, I have to pee. The attacks are not frequent, maybe once every month, but when they come it is extremely painful. What could be the cause? Is there any drug I can use? |

Health / Should A Medical Doctor Be In Charge? by VantagePoint: 6:16pm On Jul 01, 2014 |
The Nigerian Medical Association and the National Association of Resident Doctors embarked on an indefinite strike today. Key among the issues leading to the strike is the agitation of other healthcare professionals for equal recognition, amongst other things, with medical doctors. They want to be appointed as CMDs and other administrative positions. Pharmacists and medical laboratory scientists want to be allowed to attain consultant level, be called doctors, get equal pay, etc. A lot can be said and argued for both sides, but some pertinent questions remain: Is any of these going to improve the healthcare situation in the country? Will these measures curb the perceived arrogance of medical doctors,as most people think is the reason for the agitation? Will the average Nigerian, you and me, be bothered about who answers to doctor or not, when getting treatment? Will medical doctors now have to clarify everywhere, that they are MEDICAL doctors, and not doctors of pharmacy, at say, accident scenes? Will the appointment of a medical laboratory scientist as CMD of a teaching hospital spell doom for the hospital? Is the post not administrative? Will a doctor of pharmacy identity as a 'doctor' at an emergency scene when someone calls "Is there a doctor in the house"? Should the arrogant doctors be allowed to go on strike at will? Can they man hospitals effectively when other healthcare professionals go on strike? Can other healthcare professionals run hospitals when medical doctors go on strike? WHO BEARS THE BRUNT OF THE TWO FIGHTING ELEPHANTS? |
