ojubi: This serve the doctors well, and it is a reminder to others even those in medical school that medicine is not alpha and omega among courses.
This doctors will almost always want you to worship them b/c they read medicine.

They claim they are the best in society so they should be paid 10 times higher than all other professionals and then make them lords over every other medical professionals.

Mr. Doctor listen to me, Medicine is not better that history or anyother course.
You choose to be a doctor i choose to be somthing else, so why ll you lord over me?
You need to see the way doctors look down on nurses, pharmarcist,and other medical professionals.

alajikineo: Fashola employed casual workers to replace staffs and some fools are congratulatng him.if he is confident he's doin d rite tin,he should employ staffs and let's c if d mortalities in his hospitals won't skyrocket.continuity is d norm in medicine because knowledge is passed down by hands and not tru textbooks alone.if any of u is confident of his current workforce,den feel free to put ur lives in deir hands.God help u.

I'm very surprise at the reaction of some folks here.

If GEJ ever tried doing what Fashola just did, these same ACN
and their cronies including expired analyst seeking relevance
will manipulate the media to chew him raw.

We should put ourselves in the shoes of those Doctors. How does one
rationalise broken agreement on the part of the Lagos State government.
For God's sake, these Dictors are not more greedy than our University lecturers (ASUU)
and the Federal Govt has been managing them over the years.

Funny still how The Nation Newspaper applies every logic to rationalise
evil actions of South West governors except Ondo.

Re: Normalcy Returns As New Lagos Doctors Resume by isleman(m): 8:39am

emmydex: @bellabrigs, I concord wt u. Spending 6yrs in med sch was neva beans, wt d whole expensive medical books. Only to graduate to be paid stipends. The govt of lagos, hw much do they collect as allawee, all their travel allowance and etc nd more so afta 6yrs, one wud spend close to 6yrs or more to bcome a consultant. Abroad, drs dnt go on strike because they r well paid for their jobs. But Nigeria everything is different. D drs recruited wud soon leave cos they wil need to renew their licenses wt MDCN, then they will be hooked.

Rhino.5dm:
Na by force to work for government? Abeg shift comot if you wan the job, plenty people dey wait for thesame chance. Wetin the doctors be sef?

allycat: Oh and for those asking what will happen if the new doctors go on strike ? The answer is foreign docs whom they will pay higher salaries and them justify privatising the health sector. Already they have started The BT diagnostic lab( BT stands for Bola Tinubu) inside LASUTH is a 'state of the art' laboratory/ diagnostic centre in the hospital. The prices for investigations there more than double those in the hospital labs. The staff of the centre are paid almost double what other staff in the hospital are paid. And while that place thrives, the hospitals labs and Xrays department have been left to rot.
From January this year the theatre in LASUTH has had problems with electricity so surgeries have been cancelled or postponed and most surgeons there were frustrated. Not so for the CCU, a private ward with it's own theatre and ICU run by a certain Dr Tinubu. If you have the cash you can get any surgery done there for a minimum of about 300k. Presnsently while the rest of the hospital is groaning under the lack of bed space they are building a 3 storey structure for CCU. This is where government officials are usually admitted when they have problems before being flown out of the country.
That will be the fate of LAGOS state health services.

God bless you....You spoke like a true professional...KNOWLEDGE IS PASSED DOWN BY HANDS not thru books...If it is right to sack all consultants and residents and replace them with new doctors, God will judge. That is why it's called a teaching hospital...A hospital where doctors work and learn... Illiteracy is not good ooo... You sack a doctor with 30 yrs experience and replace with a new doctor....That is a big joke...Rather than sack the doctors he should av negotiated...That is bad leadership. Who suffers...The patient... I cn remember wen I wanted to do an operation. My dad with over 30 years of experience took me to a more senior colleague to do the operation because he thot that person could do it better...That is experience...You don't read experience inside textbook...I'm sorry to say that this will not work because professionalism thrives on continuity.

peter2012: NLC should intervene in this issue of the sacked doctors. Its unfair. Millions was spent in Tinubu's B-day but to pay the agreed small fee for important people like doctors is not possible.hmmmm

dumodust: They're still in a chatty mood because of low patient turnout, I'm going to spread the word...wait till the full force of Lagos residents hits the inexperienced. Two doctors for randle hospital? Let's watch and see whether they will even be able to go home and change...system overload. Stupid policy by stupid politicians gambling with people's lives...e ko ni death o!

ballabriggs: Another Government propaganda! 378 Docs for 16 million Lagosians- with a high population growth rate. Any government that does not value the health of its nation is a failed government- that is what development is all about. The Docs have only asked for the basics to keep them going. They're not asking to be paid what their counterparts earn earn in Europe- that would be unreasonable. It's a very myopic decision on the part of the government. You would even spend more at the end of the day as the health condition worsens. But do they care, they come to the UK for NHS treatment where the Doctors are better remunerated leaving our own Docs to rot. I don't wanna see Docs taking bribes in Hospitals to alter health reports, it means something is wrong with their remuneration. It is a shame on Nigeria. How do you develop with hungry Doctors? Any development plan without taking this into consideration is a failed plan.

olajay5:

Please remember that this is an on-going process as interviews are still been conducted for hundreds who have applied for the jobs. Just wait and see, the next few weeks many more doctors will resume. I tell u, 90% of doctors in the private hospitals will jump at this offer. Let the sacked doctors go and experience the "first-class" working condition of thier counterparts in the private hospitals. Moreover, most of the senior consultants did not join the strike, so they will support the news ones with thier experience. No employee is bigger than his employer.

Ilaje44:

Who told you they dont embark on strike abroad? Have you lived abroad? The diference between Abroad, specifically here in Germany, is crystal clear: HUMAN LIFE is sacred here. You can not strike when it threatens the life of human beings. If you do, you loose your accreditation and you would have a criminal case as well as a civil case against you. Now in Nigeria, there is absolutely no regard for life. It is always MONEY FIRST. If those doctors tried what they are doing over there abroad, a lot of them would not only be sitting in gaol, but their life savings would have gone to compensate the victims of their irresponsible action. Nigeria is a shame, a den of lawlessness...

chuks49:

Forget the arithmetic of the sacked and replaced doctors cos the recruitment is ongoing, that Govt didn't completely implement the agreement it reached with Doctors is not enough reason for them to abandon their sick patients in their time of need.

moshoodn: Thanks a lot o!
Maybe the doctors forgot the Hippocratic Oath they swore too.
No matter the condition, based on the oath sworn, doctors are never never never meant to go on strike!
I'm happy they lost out.
