Errr....i dont mean to bother you, BUT physiotherapists, radiographers, med-lab scientists are NOT paramedics! Maybe you should xonsider the meaning of PARAMEDIC. SOmeone can spend 5 years in medical school witj 1 year internship and 1 year service only to be called a paramedic. Paramedics work in ambulances and emergency services site. They require no formal training. A banker can decide to take some causes in basic life support, get his certification in 3months and be a certified paramedic. Don't equal a medical degree to that. Mbbs/bds is just ONE OF the numerous degrees obtainable in college of medicine. Get some education. I am a physiotherapist, speaking for me, i didnt have or notice any mbbs beef around me during my time, maybe guys were just being guys and real guys don't beef/hate over another's hustle. But the word paramedic is insulting to the other professionals here. Equal to calling a barrister, 'charge and bail'. ....and No, this is not hate sir! Kind regards. mentorandfriend: 4) NOT ALL PARAMEDICAL STUDENTS HATE MEDICAL STUDENTS; BUT THERE IS A HATE. 4 Likes |

I actually read mainly Keith moore for my anatomy as i find Last too technical and i did VERY well in my anatomy classes. Last textbook is great but not for me its ideal for dudes who love the "cramming" stuff. I prefer figuring things from the basic principles rather than memorizing and thats why interventional cardiology is my call anyday. DermalCarotene: But do anatomy questions normally come from Keith Moore's textbook of anatomy?? 1 Like |

mentorandfriend: 3) ANY AVERAGE STUDENT CAN STUDY MEDICINE. I have argued this point over and over with people especilly Doctors...

This statement is so not true. Medical students and doctors are the worse flirt : ![]() mentorandfriend: 5) MEDICAL STUDENTS ARE NOT FLIRTS. Where do we even find the time? If you have a medical student as your boyfriend or girlfriend, you can be rest assured that he or she is not cheating on you, because we have no time for that. We do not have time to gist on Nneoma's bossom, nor Amaka's straight legs. When you have been harrassed by the consultants and residents for not answering basic questions on Hypertension or Diabetis during rounds, you'll discover that the firmness of Nneoma's bosom makes no sense to your career. You have to read your books. 1 Like |

mentorandfriend: I replied in respect to his question as a Bsc student. He cant do any masters in medicine with a Bsc. Of course after Medicine, the opportunities are endless. Masters in Epidemiology, Occupational Health, Environmental Health, Public Health Policy, Biostatistics, Reproductive Health, Mental Health, Dental Health, Primary Health Care, Pharmacology, etc. But doing residency for 5-6 years to specialise is a better option to me than those masters programmes.Kindly explain to me what Residency is all about ? Is it a kinda school or work experience , are u paying for it or getting paid , is it as laborious as MBBS ..... Kindly explain in details ... Thanks God bless ! |

Tinyemeka: @ Mentorandfriend, after doctors have sworn the oath to uphold and protect lives, why do they still abandon patients at the point of death and proceed on strikes?read the MDCN code of conduct handbook the answer is there and no medical doctor leaves patient "at the point of death" to proceed on strike, get your facts together. |
