phantom: very good. leave us make we go strike.when any member of your family goes Ill please go and see johesu in the hospitals.we have left the hospitals for them,since doctors are not the ones patients go to see. for the record THE HOSPITALS EXIST BECAUSE OF THE DOCTORS.PATIENTS COME TO SEE DOCTORS.THE OTHER STAFF ARE SUPPORT STAFF. most of you here should pray that you have no health emergencies during this strike.just pray hard!

gmyguy: when yáll run to india and the uk etc...to worship foreign doctors and spend all your family savings and church contributions. you forget how you ridicule your home grown docs. When you should be trying to make things better, so you don't have to go bankrupt to get good healthcare. Cry foul, all you want, till you need a doctor and see where the problem really lies, not in the doctor, but the stupid system we call a government.

Dragonking:

i will rather waste all my fortune going abroad to seek medical attention from people who care and values the human lives than to sit here and die in anguish waiting for one selfish doctor who is going on indefinite strike just for his pocket and his selfish ego..

phantom: then prepare to go the way of Dora akunyili.

phantom: our people are funny I tell you. Nigerian doctors are quacks yet Dora akunyili was diagnosed in Nigeria and misdiagnosed abroad.funny lot. fly your families out. the Nigerian doctors don't care anymore. we have lost your sympathy do have you lost ours. during this strike, none of you should dare see a doctor whether public or private.go to the pharmacists and nurses.they ll sort you out. look at the rubbish Nigerians are saying about their doctors.pathetic.you can't cough where you senators, reps and governors are BUT you want to crucify one of the few groups of people who actually work everyday then you wonder why our country is in shambles.a people who worship criminals and demonise the hard working ones. I repeat anything you people see during this strike, endure it!

barcanista: With such mentality, you doctors can GO TO HELL! Glorified First Aid Treatment that you lot are giving while the real deal is done in India.


Overrated bunch

gmyguy: I'm sure you haven't done so before, cos if you have, you would know that people's personality vary. Don't be surprised if your foreign doctor isn't as nice as Mary Poppins, he might even be rascist...whatever....they also like your money, cos you will not be under health insurance, but i guess its your money...oh, and they are also very confident and could come out being egocentric, unlike the timid nature of most Nigerian trained doctors these days. Don't get confused by the different personalities, it doesn't mean all Nigerian doctors are after your money and too high handed

barcanista: The Health Sector is not a Profession. Medicine is a Profession WITHIN the Health Sector, same with Nursing, Med Lab etc.

Demdem:


My rivers friend. Abegii leave tori. Doctors are superior. Any attempt to equate them with other professions in the sector can be equated in saying that both ssanu and nasu should be equated to ASUU in the university.
Patients go to hospital to see doctors and not nurses or radiographers etc the same way students are primarily admitted to school to be taught by lecturers and not librarians.

phantom: .......OGA please fly your family to India and leave us be.na fight go to Upth and see the inferior quality MRI and ultrasound machines there. yet we manage to help our patients.channel your frustrations to you govt and not the Nigerian doctors.

kachy: What does it even mean to be a consultant in the field of medicine? From what I gathered, it has nothing to do with the number of years one has practised medicine. And that's why there are medical officers that are never referred to as consultants, no matter how long they have practised medicine. Now a pharmacist that dispenses drugs to patients and in some cases directs one on how to take them, wants to be called a consultant for such duties.SMH. Simply because he/she feels she has been doing such for so many years and deserves to be called consultant on this premise. I think its absurd, but then this is naija where anything goes. Consultant ambulance driver, consultant cleaner, consultant radiographer

barcanista: How can Dokitas be superior when they do not own the Health Care Sector?

No one claimed they owned it. They themselves know they don't. However they are superior.

ASUU like you pointed out is made of Academics from DIFFERENT fields in the Academia. I don't see any correlation here.

The correlation is the their importance and relevance in that sector. No doctor no hospital, likewise no lecturer no university. It's as simple as that.


The Health Sector is made of different professionals with each having their distinctive roles. It is fair for Dokitas to give sanity a chance.

The same way the university system has various professionals. I agree that some post should be bequeathed to non doctors to give them sense of belonging like it's given to ssanu in the university like bursar's, librarian etc but for them to be fighting for the best the sector can give is ridiculous.
Do u know anywhere in the world where such is done? Kindly share please.

Some guys just post ignorantly post without checking the book. Other health professionals are not regulated by MDCAN or NMA . They have their own reg bodies that confer them consultant based on laid down rules approved by the govt. So nobody just wake up and do that. UCH ibadan has been doing this for years nobody raise eyebrow till appointment of Chukuw as health minister ,nma dummie .

Can the structural engineer regulatory body prevent appointment of Architect as consultant claiming it will cause confusion in the building site?

It is good they now in court. It is time for NMA to be put where it belong.

Doctors will sufer with privatization.Currently,many of them are out there no jobs. No where to do internship talk more of residency. At times I laugh when they use privatization as threat. It is as if they do not know what they really want.

obayaya: .

Imagine o!!!

Doctors dey jealous us

They don't know what it takes to become a senator of the federal republic

barcanista: ASUU is likened to Health Sector. ASUU have different Professionals, so is Health Sector.

All these professionals have one thing in common, one thing that binds them together, one thing that makes them members of ASUU and that is being lecturers which itself is a Profession. They are all teachers.


An Academic from any sector can Head ASSU or become a VC. It is fair that other health professional have same privilege.

Yes, any teacher from whatever field can head ASUU and become a VC. Expecting a non teacher to be a VC is bullshit the same way expecting non doctors to become cmd of teaching hospitals. Other health professional I agree should have some level of privilege the same way non teachers in the university have exclusive seats for them within the university system.

The Hospital will be useless without the Nurses, Med Lab, Radiologists, Physios etc. It is not an exclusive preserve of doctors.

These ones are support staff. I disagree that it will be useless. The chances of a very sick man surviving in an hospital with no support staff but filled with doctors is very high than an hospital filled with support staffs and no doctor.
Infact patients will prefer to go for the one with doctors than support staffs.

obayaya:

If their hazard allowance for sitting in their offices making useless diagnosis should be at Least 100k, How much should the hazard allowance for lab scientists, Radiologists who are exposed to greater hazards in the laboratories nko?

Na God go punish NMA

kachy:

You seem not to know the difference between radiographer and radiologist. Besides that, both do not work in laboratories. Google is your friend. Try visiting more often. And for the records, whenever anybody you know falls sick, make sure you don't visit a doctor since God would have probably finished punishing all the doctors by then.

That's why there are different specialties in medicine. So you see the correlation?

It is good they now in court. It is time for NMA to be put where it belong.

It seems you know better than I do here, but then, is the title consultant conferred by NMA or MDCN to the doctors?

Doctors will sufer with privatization.Currently,many of them are out there no jobs. No where to do internship talk more of residency. At times I laugh when they use privatization as threat. It is as if they do not know what they really want.
