Most respectful cephalo-caudal greetings to my chiefs in the house. Straight to the point, the issue of overseas training for the Nigerian doctor has been heralded by a myriad of questions- most unanswered and unattended to. This has necessitated a compendium of what you must know about overseas training as a doctor. I stumbled on an ebook to that effect and it is in the most bit very comprehensive.

So in my usual spirit of doing-the-little-I-can-for-my-fellow-Nigerian-out-there, I'll like to share with medical doctors and students who want to explore career possibilities outside the shores of Nigeria and hopefully come back one day to make the system better than the quagmire it is right now.

The countries covered are United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

For those interested, drop your emails and I'll forward it to you.

Best of luck.

Kindly forward it to me . aburotimi@yahoo.com
Thanx a bunch

My 5-year old cousin benefitted from my diagnosis of laryngotracheitis one week ago.The diagnosis was missed by many before me.

I nearly lost my 14 year old brother to status asthmaticus roughly a month ago. I was able to salvage that terrible situation in the midst of a panicking family.

I met a girl for the first time some months back. We were supposed to have fun, but then she started her medical history tales. They were unusual for a girl of her age. She's been managed unsuccessfully for months now. Then something about her history was striking- I reached and felt her pulse, I wanted to check the radio-radial synchrony. Alas!! There was a significant radio-radial delay. That was the first time ever I picked a radio-radial delay. I made my provisional diagnosis.

Each time I think of the many people medical knowledge has helped through me, leaving is very guilt-driven. And that's the plight of many who have stayed back to rescue what's left of the situation. They're the real heroes.

Big rhetorical question: If we all leave, who will care for the ones behind? Just think about it.

you may want to stay back bro, but when you get to the REAL WORLD and see different types of patients, with all sorts of families frustrating your life, with the fat nurses worsening the condition... Then you'd realise being a hero in nigeria ain't worth it....

All doctors have good days and bad days... I've had alot of good days, and some terrible days...

I was once slapped by a patient's relative just because she asked me "have you given my brother his drugs" and i replied "please i'm coming, i'm busy" and i was busy, trying to save a child that had a car accident....

Some doctors are good, others are bad, but some of those that are bad may be due to the attitude our patients put up on us.... And that counts!!!!

I pray you dont go there bro, gerrout of this phucking mistake of a country if you have the chance, it ain't worth it anymore

I'll gladly remain a fake hero or no hero at all than to be reduced to the image in that link
As far as I'm concerned, it does not worth it

Permit me to share my thought.

These exodus will create room for creation of Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, extension of prescribing power to a whole lots of other professionals......even a change in course curriculum of the essential health professionals to practice more advanced medical procedures as is in some advance countries........Mozambique's midwife's performing cesarean section and some obstetrics procedures, clinical officers in East Africa etc.....comes to mind. By then it won't be about allowances but about being relevant.

Do you want that?
Are you going to run as a coward because the land is getting too hot for you?
Fight your fight and help settle Nigerian health sector or your profession will go to the dogs.

let it go to the dogs!! I resisted travelling out a decade ago when I qualified and I regret it now.
my friends urged me to come over to T&T after all I had my MBBS from a recognised institution in Nigeria therefore I didn't need to write their licensing exams.
I just needed to pay the $3500 bond,and of I went.
5000-6000 US dollars per month tax free is decent income scalable to 7-8thousand dollars working extra jobs.
thinking back now, I should have gone. would probably be in the US now,qualifying as an "attending".

the path I took was a mistake!

boss, we have done our best as doctors.... The government is not helping matters at all....

We dont have the best equipment, drugs are substandard or fake, we still use archaic lab/imaging procedures.....

Let the government formulate a health policy that makes the lives better for doctors and patients, then we may consider staying...

in other news,I hear those appointed directors in UCH have been reverted to former status? can someone please confirm.
