Politics / Re: How Judges May Rule On The 25% In The FCT by Decimus: 6:40pm On May 11, 2023
netricoin:
The 2023 presidential election has resulted in a constitutional crises, where judges have to carry out interpretation on the 1999 constitution.
If judges in court use the 1999 constitution to pass judgement on the 25% of votes required for the FCT, they will either declare Peter obi as the winner of the 2023 presidential election, or they will cancel the election.
[/b]The FCT is the place that has the special status, where all the tribe in Nigeria are equally balance in numbers[b]. The FCT represent Nigeria as a country. They is no difference of a candidate who wins in 30 states, but failed to get 25% of votes in the FCT, and a candidate who wins in 10 states and in the FCT.


Where did you get this from?
Are you saying we not only have all the ethnic groups in Abuja, but they are also there in equal proportion?

Please provide proof either from NBA or otherwise that shows that all tribes are in Abuja and are balanced in numbers?

I.e in Abuja, the Hausa population is not greater than Tiv or igala, rather they're equal in number

Prostitution is to women what yahoo is to men.
Prostitution is still a bit better because they're selling THEIR bodies for money . Those who do yahoo use human parts to galvanise their illegal business.
But somehow society thinks prostitution is the worst of all sins.
Are you saying one has to either go into prostitution or internet fraud to survive?

Some truth, laced with lies grin
There is press conference schedule for Tuesday, but it is to make some clarifications as to many lies being peddled by Ngige and his team!
This strike will continue for as long as the FG is ready to wait before implementing the agreed agreement[b][/b] embarassed
If that's what ASUU is waiting for, then they should prepare to be on strike for years. Because the strike doesn't affect the people they think they are fighting.

You are so daft. Is clinic not still hospital or health settings?
Can they work in industry or manufacturing company use ur brain na....I said Radiography can totally do without clinic or hospital or anything related to health like in military research/manufacturing (nuclear and radiation weaponry), Transportation ( Airports), refineries, oceanography, not even veterinary services etc....nurses must work in health setting otherwise they will do nanny.... Radiographers can chose to leave health line totally and practice industrial Radiography that's what I meant.
He's just being insecure.
Curriculum have changed and Radiographers are being trained to do more, especially as we have shortage of Radiologists. How many Radiologists do we even have here with the way all of them fail primaries and fail to get into residency, even after getting in they still fail the fellowship exams
Imagine the abobi saying therapy means operation.

Chai... I'm sorry to burst your bubbles. Pathological basis of disease in human is divided into general pathology and systemic pathology and it's not in your curriculum. Attached herein is a copy of your curriculum.

Just imcase you are not satisfied with your job jurisdictions and you want to venture into radiotherapy, simply go and get your mbbs and specialize in Radiology, period. Please stay away from my mention.
Curriculum of which school and for what year?
You obviously don't know where and when i trained cheesy
I love my job
The flexibility, technological advancements, money and diversity and many more . These are what the opinions of the regular insecure Nigerian "dr" won't be able to alter.

Guy rest abeg. If you want to treat, then go get your mbbs and specialise in radiology. Simple as ABC.

The advanced Radiographers are Operators that operates under the supervision of radiologists. That's the problem with you guys. You want to do the work of doctors when you don't have an indept knowledge of the physiology of the human body as well as the pathological basis of disease of the various systems. You think the human body is anything you can toil with just like that.

The answer to this your question: Again if you call someone a radiotherapist and argue that he doesn't carry out treatment, then what does the therapy in the name stands for?
... is simply an Operator.

You are outdated.
Anatomy(gross, histology, embryology)
BCH
Physiology
Pathology (both general and radiographic pathology)
Pharmacology
Microbiology
Are all part of the Radiography curriculum.
You just keep shouting "operator" without having sufficient knowledge on realities, you are just a student, graduate first and come to the hospital settings.

We are not talking about whether Radiography is divided into diagnostic or therapeutic Radiography. We are asking, do Radiographers (Therapeutic R) treat cancers?

Treatment of cancer is not a one man show. It involves many disciplines. It may include Surgeons, Clinical oncologists (called radiation oncologists in the US), pathologists, Medical oncologists,etc.

That the therapeutic radiographer operates the machine that deliver the radiotherapy to patients with cancer doesn't mean he treats cancer.
What does the word therapeutic means?
What happens to cancerous cells when you bombard them with Radiation?
Do you think "machines" are the only source of ionizing radiation?
In Brachytherapy, a Radiotherapist injects a capsule or seed containing radioactive materials like cesium-131 into the site of the tumor to kill the cancerous cells there.
Again if you call someone a radiotherapist and argue that he doesn't carry out treatment, then what does the therapy in the name stands for?

Note: if you are still a student or you are not in the medical profession, just forget about it.

Check well....a radiologist is a medical personnel that studies Medicine and Surgery and Specified in a particular field (Radiology).

A Radiographer is just a technician that calibrates machines and read its results.

Just like the difference between an Ophthalmologist and an Optometrist.
Lol, don't you think it's better to ask questions and learn if you don't know much about a subject?
It's even Medical Physicists and Biomedical Engineers that calibrate equipment before a procedure.

Sorry, reasonable doctors dont look down on nurses. You see those ones beefing nurses and other health workers... they are weak doctors with nothing on their head other than some bragging rights. We are trained to even learn some procedures from them. I could remember one of the senior doctors telling us students to learn giving IM from the nurses cos he said no body will teach us. So, I respect nurses and other health workers.

Attached herein is a standing order in the UK as regards who is to give Radiotherapy. EoD
Read the last paragraph, you'll see Advanced practitional Radiographer clearly written there.

Oga, stop saying what u don't know. As far as Nigeria is concerned, no medical or paramedical profession come close to med & sug. Med lab, med radio, med rehab, nursing have similar salary scale while pharmacy have a little edge over the aforementioned professions. Then medicine tops others. As a matter of facts, I'm currently studying med lab. That is how the FG structured the salary scale of medical profession. Ur radiographer friend might have been in the profession for many years for him to earn that amount (280k) which is something an house officer (med and sug) fresh graduate earns.

Make ur findings.
Which hospital(s) pay house officer 280k?
Career / Re: Radiography Vs Nursing Which Is Better by Decimus: 10:42pm On Jun 30, 2022
SIMPLIFIED:
If you plan to stay in Nigeria go for Radiography but if you intend to leave go for nursing. Currently Radiographers are in short supply and high demand as not many schools are offering it but with time it will get saturated like medlab and pharmacy. Radiographers are earning equal pay and sometimes higher than Medical officers in private employment currently which is far higher than what nurses are getting. But ease of migration is still fastest for nurses and more job reach and spread outside the country. If you finally migrate to USA and pursue Nurse practitioner or Travel nursing, you will be raking in good money. Also hazards of exposure to radiation over a long time is not much talked about for radiographers, to me they even deserve more pay with that daily work hazard
Hazard allowance and call duty allowance for Radiographers are higher than that of Nurses.
However, not all Radiographers deal with ionizing radiation, you can pick a niche that will allow you to avoid ionizing radiation totally.

Not without the supervision of the consultant (Radiologists) who is actually the one to decide the dose and degree of expose to the radiographers.
In the actual sense, the radiographers are extremely subservient to the radiologists. In fact, the radiographers do the dirty work (radiographic procedures) and face the high risk of exposure to various level of radiation.
And this is the basis for the arguements where that poster said nurses are extremely subservient to doctors while radiographers are not.
You missed the point of the discussion. The poster made a claim that nurses are
What i shared with you is an excerpt from NHS in UK, did you see anywhere they mentioned Radiologists or that it must be done under their supervision? If you have any, kindly share.
I'm not talking about your average Nigerian health care system here where everyone is involved in a power tussle and everyone want to be on top of another person without respecting one another job's specification or description.
Radiotherapists don't need to wait for dose instructions from anyone, because Dosimetery is a vital part of their curriculum.
Radiography is very vast and technical,
It's easy for a common house officer to look down on a nurse with many years of experience, but the said house officer will be lost in a basic radiography unit.

Therapeutic Radiography carryout radiotherapy under the supervision of the Radiologist. And this is done in larger hospitals like tertiary health facilities
You are right about your second point, that's part of why Radiography is more sophisticated.
However, a Radiologist is not needed to carry out Radiotherapy.
You can't just graduate as a Radiographer though and become that automatically , you have to undergo further studies in Radiotherapy/Nuclear medicine.
