MrEgghead:
Pathology a borrowed? when we have specialists in Pathology, you could as well say paediatrics, obs and gynae are all borrowed courses because they don't have the tag Medicine, WTF.

Between, there's nothing like a borrowed course to Medical students as the primary aim of establishing Basic Medical sciences is to service MBBS/BDS students before they started awarding degrees..You're talking about Pharmacy being broader, No sane person will say...
We have almost 30 specialties in Medicine and just 6 or 7 in pharmacy, there's a difference..

We now have Medical Doctors who are specialise in pharmacology, they now teach medical students in UNIBEN...That's to tell you how Medicine is evolving and dominating.

LOL, now you can talk if dominating after I've proven to you that Pharmacist did more pathology. you have nothing to say about that. so, let's go to the next step of the argument, you borrowed pathology, and you can have specialist who specializes in pathology. just like you borrowed pharmacology and you can have specialist who specializes in pharmacology so get your facts right, don't just raise point for the sake of argument, thinking the person you are arguing with knows nothing about your course.
you borrowed those courses, just like and maths student will do English as borrowed course and an Islamic student will do Arabic as borrowed course. so get you fact right, Google is your friend.

you said pharmacy has just 6 specialities LOL.

Google is your friend, you can search it yourself, all medicine specialities has it's own unique pharmacy specialties.

talking about dominating, LOL.
now that Pharmacist have chased you out of pharmacy, lab scientist chased you out of labs, radiographers chased you out of their labs, nurse are into surgery, doctors optometry are now the eye doctors, dentist are now the teeth doctors, anatomist are now gaining right to do surgery abroad, physiotherapy are in. let's see how you will dominate

Specialties that have no applications in real life...Pharmacy in UNIBEN has just 7 departments, let us hear word.
Even the op' finished from UNIBEN, she can attest to that.
All these ones you mentioned are audio specialties in Nigeria.

Now since you have nothing to say, this is end of the argument.

when you graduate, you will see the truth for yourself, you will find out how lucrative and profiting pharmacy can be

DOMINO001:
Never give up in life.

Congrats.
I celebrate with you.

Your story is really inspiring, it encourages one to never give up in life (despite when it's not easy)

It's a wisdom to many to show up strong, as a Courageous and supportive parents.

Pharm Dora motivated you. You're now a motivation to many. It's wise for anyone to lay a good foundation so as to also have a generational impact.

To blend studying Pharmacy with the student politics is really not easy. Being a woman and still achieved that, is a lesson that anyone's gender should never pose a limitation to one's greater future. (though, having spent 4yrs back then in UNN must have been an edge not to have an academic issues in Uniben while blending into politics.)

Students should as well, learn how to manage their time and their capability when it comes to blending into extracurriculars.

......
It's a choice,
Nevertheless, how I wish you also shared or deem it good to have the courage to always share the bone of contention that led to your withdrawn from UNN.

Reasons:
I have stated above as much that everyone and I should learn from your story.
But, how about those that didn't know or even know and will still face the same consequence?
Some have committed suicide. Some greatly depressed in life.
Not all may have a supportive parent or even the courage.

If you would have or later choose to share your withdrawal mistakes and reasons, students will learn, parents will also learn and desist from such path (if it is the wrong path).

You already have a new ground. Keep on.
I'm also a Super Lion.
(Prof. Nwodo was really a Scholar)

P.S
For some of us dragging about degree here, I know the NUC vote on Pharm'D.
Even at that,
How I also wish that we all should truly love to make impact academically and to the society and stop dragging about degree or school.

Or you politely teach others the onus required to attain such heights.
Una well done.

On behalf Loretta (Able Presidoo), I want to say thank you for your kind words. I am not the one anyways. I graduated from optometry uniben. We (optometry and pharmacy) did physiology and anatomy together. That's why I knew her personally. Your observations and submissions were spot on.
I wish you success in all your adventures in life. Cheers!

oyedav:
lauretta Lauretta,, my able sug presido. Never knew this was the story... so insightful. Am also a uniben optometry 300level student. One of ur ardent followers during the sug elections in unibest.

When she was in sug u were not admitted that's if you're in 300 level as u claim

potent5:
Someday, yes.

mine too from university of uyo to University of Benin

Ebenezer2O2O:
mine too from university of uyo to University of Benin

University of Uyo became a land of frustration at the of the new millennium. But only the strong hearted made it.

as in eh I was too frustrated and also inexperienced then.
Later left to UNIBEN where I smashed it
What did u study?

I studied my dream course at the University of Nigeria and came out with 2.1.
For privacy sake I can't disclose the actual course, unless we private chat.

germaphobe:
also a pharmacy student currently in my 200 level. first semester 100level was cool, was serious and all gp was good and high, fast forward to second semester i screwed up no need of even checking my result cus i know there will be alot of carryovers, started 200level on a sad and depressed mood everything was just not making sense anymore friends still think i'm the same guy they used to know in 100level first semester, before the corona break we were preparing for exams, and some where planning on sitting with me i was thinking of how i'm entering another crisis of carryovers. thank God for the break i have worked on myself and the passion is back can't wait to pick up

I am surprised to see the word carry over in pharmacy school, quite different from what I know about oau pharmacy, there is nothing like carry over. you must pass all your courses before moving to the next class.... and please how many years is pharmacy there?

germaphobe:
yeah i know, i have my heart set on direct entry upon the completion my ond. thanks

Nice one. God bless ur hustle.

Snowale:
she has both because, for the first 5 years she did B.pharm, after the 6th year she then have are Pharm.D.
School that are not yet awarding doctors to their pharmacist graduates, the pharmacist can decide to go to UNN and do a year+ course in order to have the pharm.D also, meaning, he would have both B.Pharn and Pharm.D

This thing u said about doing a one year course alsheay, u are not sure of it.

mannyiyke:
In the hospital setting, only medical doctors and dentists are qualified to be called doctors. Others can use the title elsewhere other than in the hospital. This is to avoid endangering patients' lives.

How do u mean endangering patients lives please?

mannyiyke:
It's not true. It's unethical in the hospital setting. He or she is just a pharmacist in the hospital. Nothing more.

Bro.. I work in a hospital and I assure u, what u are saying is fake.

Dannyfan:
Yes, checked. I guess it's a straight six years course and not five years with additional one year. Moreso a Pharm.D curriculum differs from a B.Pharm curriculum. With time they'll blend the two awards together (may be BPPD), prior to PCN futuristic claim that the minimum award for registration will be Pharm.D.

All over the world, it's Pharm. D... I never hear BPPD.

MrEgghead:
It doesn't affect anybody if the holder could humbly insist he's not a Medical Doctor but we all know how things go in Nigeria..Even chemists will smile when you erroneously call them doctors not to talk of pharmacists.

If u call a Pharmacist Doctor, he will answer if he is a Doctor and will correct u if he isn't. Do u think the Pharmacist will go and start operating the patient in the hospital? No. Not at all. So no confusion.

MrEgghead:
You're right.
When I was going through the list of interns for OAUTHC, even those that had pharmD and O.D were only addressed as Mr and Mrs.
it's for the sake of the gullible populace, even the so called graduates in Nigeria can be sometimes gullible.. That's why Ph.D is as irrelevant as p in psychology in hospital setting.

With time, things would be done correctly... Life is in phases.

Period007:

Check the current HOD from University of Benin teaching Hospital

Truth is some still prefers the title Pharmacist. If I was to b d one typing the names, I would affix the Dr. To his name. Factors are involved.

MrEgghead:
The job of a pharmacist is not to consult, diagnose and treat but they do that in disguise.

These days they even do that openly without qualms.
As a dentist you can interpret the work of a pathologist for diagnosis and treaatment...btwn a pathologist is a specialist.

A Pharmacist can diagnose when it comes to minor illnesses. Everyone can be consulted with respect to his or her field. Pharmacists know when to refer patients to be honest.

It's just that the country is been short changed so we think rubbish as d norm.

MrEgghead:
Don't bring this up...Don't ever mention a pharmacist in category of Dentists, surgeons, pathologists, ENT and Vets...All those you mentioned have the qualification to consult, diagnose and treat because they a common designation "MBBS or BDS"....
Pharm.D is only a professional doctorate just like Ph.D is a research doctorate.
In hospital setting, they can not be called doctors but in other organisations they can.

He said, DONT EVER... bro, what are u scared of?

bizzibodi:
This na doctor by hook,an extra one yr suppose gives master degree not D.pharm.
No matter how long a lizard stays inside river it can never be a croc.
Most of them will end up setting up drug shops or be dispensers in government hospitals,we cannot make drugs in nigeria,but to be importing drugs from China,India & vietnam...all we know is carrying big big certificates
Just thinking aloud.

U know people travel outside to tread headache.

[quote author=bizzibodi post=90159328]
Anybody who cannot identify a NSAIDs can set up a pharmacy store & hire a pharmacy or their certificate if he has money.[/quoteu can't legally hire a certificate/license

MrEgghead:
Consult on what exactly? With your deficient knowledge of Paediatrics, obs and gyna, Medicine, surgery and more importantly PATHOLOGY.. Brother it can never happen, as that's not your job's designation...you think it's just about drugs...you can only know side effects, contra and dosage but never how a drug can alleviate or worsen a pathology...Be fulfilled with your profession already.

Really?

U know u did more of pharmacodynamics Dan the pharmacist soaked in it.

MrEgghead:
I know a lot of them..In their pharmacy stores, they create consulting rooms and even beds examining people..

Any pharmacy without a consulting room is not a Pharmacy.

MrEgghead:
In Nigeria, everything goes...
In sane climes, you dare not change a doctor's prescription, you'll be jailed if found guilty...
Do you know about the diagnosis that you want to change the prescription? That's why he's a medical doc. he considers many factors before prescribing and that doesn't mean he's infallible.
A fulfilled pharmacist will quizz the doctor on why he's prescribing such drug and not change it.
Guy, the distance between a medic and a pharmacist is TOO far..Don't refer to a pharmacist as another doctor, he's not and he should be proud as a pharmacist.

U can't just change a prescription... U can call to inform the physician of any mistake noticed and thus, correction done.

Snowale:
Nurses are doing almost all the treatment, what's the big deal in treating. And consulting, what's so special about it. Pharmacist are always proud of themselves, and never regret their action of studying the course. Unlike, Human medicine, we see them trying all possible to get into the residency program, just few lucky ones with connection + bribery get it, most end up in private hospitals with pay mostly less than 120k. They end up writing letters to CMDs and looking for connection to work as a lecturer in school. I'm glad schools now say you must have your PDGE/Msc before you can be a lecturer. We have many of them writing exams to travel abroad, after 40years they come back home to start a small business, because No pension.

A pharmacist would always be proud of his course.
And they are Doctors just like any other health workers who spent 6 years in school with huge workload

I'M A PHARMACIST. I'M SO PROUD TO BE ONE.

MrEgghead:
Your job is to vet and dispense and your knowledge of drugs is not enough to usurp the role of a physician...What do you know about the pathophysiology of disease with your zero knowledge of MORBID Anatomy?
what differentiates a medic from a pharmacist are: Good knowledge of Pathology, Medicine, surgery, psychiatry, o an G as they make you a sound doctor. Pharmacology is the only relevant course to Medical students from pharmacy as other parts are irrelevant in clinical practice...
The same pharmacology is applied to all the specialties of medicine and you're not aware of that..So where does your pharmacology take you to!
I respect my case!

Really? Zero knowledge of Morbid anatomy?.... I see where the problem is...

MrEgghead:
Like I said, Pharmacology is the only relevant course in your department to a Medical Doctor...the rest are not.... Medical students know the nitty- gritty of PATHOLOGY because they do it as a subject not as a course...
The basic Medical sciences you do are just periphery with the small materials they pass to you..
We do everything indepthly with mighty books which you people don't think of buying...

Face your lane... All hands are on deck to fish you quacks out....No doctor will ever do a pharmacist's job but reverse is the case for you when ofcourse 80% of you wanted MBBS at one point in time but you couldn't get it...

Embrace your new found love and practice it diligently...Don't be a "Doctor wannabee'

"Physician wannabee" u mean

Samgreguc:

All over the world, it's Pharm. D... I never hear BPPD.

I never said there's BPPD. I said awarding B.Pharm and Pharm.D might be integerated to be BPPD or any other format.
The two awards is like awarding two degrees at a go. How will it looks on the certificate? Will they issue two certificate?

Samgreguc:

This thing u said about doing a one year course alsheay, u are not sure of it.

Not all university does it, I think BUK does it Sha, someone told me it's 2 years. True I'm not sure because, I haven't seen anyone does it. But, I'm sure it's possible
