Mammangaddafi: The almost 500 level left out special postings like ENT, opthalmology, psychiatry, and is disturbing everyone that he is a medical Doctor. Some school do paed and OnG for 18months self. The best thing is to be happy with what you do, but these guys happiness come from doing medicine posting with medical students. How about writing about orthodontics, public health dentistry, etc rather than muddling up COPD and Asthma stuff, that they'll never be required to manage till they hit the dust. |

Mammangaddafi: Do you think all the medical graduate can manage all OandG and paed cases..? Dey play |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by sgtponzihater1(m): 6:56pm On Dec 27, 2022 |
Froshchuksswart: With mandatory house job in OnG and Paed, they can't manage primary care cases? Who do Nigerians this arguement thing? If you find any medical doctor who can't manage non-specialist OnG or paediatric cases, the noble thing to do is to report them anonymously to uphold the integrity of the profession, because for each rotation in house job, these doctors have to be signed off as competent in specific skills before becoming fully registered. If your comment is speculation then this should really not be made by an aspiring professional/academics. Assumption is the lowest in the pyramid of learning. 2 Likes |

Froshchuksswart:The aim of making students to rotate through all these departments at undergraduate level is not so they can manage all the cases like specialists in those specialties but to at least have basic understanding and at least be able to manage emergency cases in those department. I doubt that any student that hasn't rotated through O and G will be able to recognize a case of eclampsia, pre eclampsia, abtruptio placenta, ectopic pregnancy and other emergencies talk more of managing them . 2 Likes 1 Share |

sgtponzihater1:I doubt dental students rotate through those surgical sub specialties like ophthalmology, ENT, anaesthesia, radiology and the rest... |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by sgtponzihater1(m): 7:05pm On Dec 27, 2022 |
Fun fact a Doctor who is not confident to understand basic OnG concepts like pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, HELP syndrome, PPH, APH, management of 2nd and 3rd stage of labour, PID, molar pregnancy, DUB/AUB, etc should not have graduated from medical schools Also one who is not confident with concept like infantile colic, ophthalmia neonatorum, food allergies in babies, intussusception and volvulus, bronchopneumonia Vs bronchiolitis, failure to thrive, hip problem in children, febrile seizures, enuresis etc should never have been let of the hook from medical school. Some escape, but this is the same in all profession. Like the Dentist who messed up my teeth, and did not know when to choose composite filling over almagam filling. I still regard him as a Dentist, as with experience he'll become a pro. If the above were not part of your curriculum, you have to right to lie about being a Medical Doctor |

Mammangaddafi:First of all, O&G and Paed are two out of over 20 specialties in medicine and surgery. Dentistry has it's own Paed (paediatric dentistry)... And again, I repeat, no one is claiming that a dental surgeon is a general physician or doctor of medicine. Dental surgeons are oral physicians, or doctors of dental medicine/surgery. Let me put I this way; MBBS and BDS are just like the land army and the Navy, respectively... Naval officers may be restricted to water body areas just like dental surgeons are restricted to the head and neck region, but they are still military soldiers and are key for the overall safety of the whole nation. Both army and navy have similarities and differences in their mode of training, so does MBBS and BDS. Note: I used used army and navy because they are too professions that most people can relate to... Posterity would bear me witness that I have tried my best at enlightening y'all. 3 Likes |

Froshchuksswart:The guy is not even in the medical field. Stop trying to explain yourself. His wife is a nurse, so he probably thinks that the best way to favour Johesu over NMA is to create a divide among doctors online... By now, he already knows that medical and dental practitioners don't even have the time to read through his rubbish on nairaland, so he tries to poison the minds of upcoming doctors in MBBS/BDS..

Maid007: Where is the lie. I know for a fact that most Medical schools do their special postings in final year without Dental students. Did you do psychiatry, opthalmology, etc as part of your undergraduate curriculum? Did you do OnG?. All the best in the new year and no need to insult anyone. God bless. PonziHater |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by sgtponzihater1(m): 8:04am On Dec 30, 2022 |
Maid007: Stop all these self aggrandisement pls . Paeds and OnG form the core of the medical school curriculum and take a full session to complete, it's not just only. You cannot get full medical license if you do not rotate through these on house job as well. If a Doctor cannot use the otphalmoscope no one will bother, but if a Doctor is deficient in basic OnG the that a problem. We a must one day learn a lesson. PonziHater |

Maid007: For the historical record, I did not start this thread but only respond to falsehoods, as I cannot stand lies being peddled on a large scale. All courses have their own complexities and being a Doctor is tough, but not the toughest thing in the world. God bless PonziHater |

sgtponzihater1:Whether you like it or not, an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon who "didn't do OnG" would still lead a team of surgeons to carry out a major surgery on Ur Head and neck region (such as a face transplant etc). You even make it sound like BDS students just don't do OnG because they can't handle it... When the truth is that BDS students don't do OnG because they are busy with core dental specialties during those years... Abii u wan kill them load?... Lol |

Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by sgtponzihater1(m): 8:49am On Dec 30, 2022 |
Maid007: It's not part of the curriculum because they don't need it. They are not medical doctors and would never be required to put that knowledge into use. Formal education is straight forward, it many Nigerians that love excessive titles. Cheers |

Maid007:They do sir, especially in the case of emergency for instance, in taking delivery and other gynea emergencies, the above professionals are trained to handle it. But I don't think dentist are trained to do so or even licensed to do so sir 1 Like |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by Maid007: 1:11pm On Dec 30, 2022 |
seunH:That's why I said "...in their specialty". Taking delivery isn't in the specialty of a cardiologist or a psychiatrist. Same way taking delivery isn't in the specialty of a Dental surgeon. In the case of an emergency delivery, even a nurse or a midwife could take the delivery... But no other kind of doctor can take the place of an OnG specialist when there is any OnG complication... Every specialist is a master of his craft. Being a veterinary doctor, I trust u already know this. |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by seunH: 3:36pm On Dec 30, 2022 |
Maid007:I understand you sir, but even in their speciality they do sir. For psychiatrist there are several post partum mental/psychological disorders that psychiatrist come across regularly, For the ENT same too sir especially in obstetrics emergencies where the newborn is having challenges with respiration or in-utero/congenital ENT conditions, same for the opthalmologist especially in in-utero/congenital eye conditions. My dear brother, as said earlier, every single course MBBS students are trained on or even during rotations are relevant to their speciality. If it wasn't, they wouldn't be trained in that area. What we are saying in a nutshell, is that you guys should be proud of what you do. Be proud that you save lives of people with oral carcinoma, cleft palate etc. Be proud that in Dental school, you where taught orthodontics, dental pathology etc. Open a thread and show the world why dentistry is the best course in the world without reference to MBBS, and I tell you, SgtPonzihater would be the first to congratulate you. For instance, as you've rightly said, I'm a Veterinarian. In Vet med school, we did a lot of courses similar to MBBS and even more, especially in surgery. Almost all the specialties in MBBS also have their Veterinary equivalent down to neurosurgery. But you'll never see me open a thread to gloat about the similarities, rather I opened a thread to show the UNIQUENESS of Veterinary Medicine to the world, and I got over 40,000 view and more than a thousand comments, with people seeking my Veterinary assistance in one way or the other. What we saying in conclusion is "Be proud of your dental profession without reference to MBBS" you'll never see an MBBS student say "we are similar to dental students because we did oral health under community medicine" Let it be same for dentistry too sir. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by Maid007: 9:52pm On Dec 30, 2022 |
seunH:You see that is the difference between human medicine and veterinary medicine. In human medicine, there are clear cut boundaries between specialties. I understand that in a veterinary clinic, a pregnant dog suffering from a particular disease may just be handled by a single veterinarian. But you see, in human medicine, a psychiatrist won't just admit a pregnant patient to a psychiatry ward to take delivery of a baby simply because the mother is mentally unstable. A psychiatrist would call upon an OnG specialist to come and handle the parturition, that's why referrals are very common in human hospitals. In human medicine different specialties come together for the benefit of a single patient, probably because human life is very precious. And when did I give you the impression that I am not proud of my dental profession? If I wasn't proud of it, I wouldn't even be here trying to enlighten PonziHater and others on this thread. I'm sure you must have witnessed my sense of pride when talking about dental surgery. I don't even try to hide it. 1 Like |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by Maid007: 10:10pm On Dec 30, 2022 |
seunH:And you said we always try to reference MBBS when talking of BDS? OP is not just trying to reference medicine when talking of dentistry. You just can't talk of dentistry without medicine, because medicine is the bedrock of dentistry.... Dentistry is a branch of medicine (you can check Wikipedia). Why should we now change the narrative just because it doesn't sit well with you and PonziHater?... It's just like telling me to talk of dermatology without bringing medicine into the picture, how does that sound? On the other hand, veterinary medicine is a whole different ball game. 1 Like |

Maid007: Medical officers handle generalist cases from OnG, Medicine to paed. If a psychiatrist decided to open a private hospital and handled wide range of cases his training covers him to do this, and he can be indemnified for this. This would not be the case as a Dentist. So there no Basis for comparison. If a Dentist does this and is reported, he'll be fried. Dentistry is a first Degree and a graduate can work as a Dental officer. Enjoy the specialties in Dentistry and don't equate them to the specialties in MBBS. No one is superior, but a Dentist is not a Medical Doctor. PonziHater |
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by Maid007: 6:56am On Dec 31, 2022 |
sgtponzihater1:So, you think a psychiatrist would open a psychiatric hospital and be taking in pregnant women for delivery? Do you know what it takes to open a hospital? Is MDCN a joke to you? Like I said in my previous post, taking delivery is not in the specialty of a psychiatrist. But of course, the psychiatrist could take delivery if it's an emergency. But if a pregnant woman comes to psychiatric hospital, she would be referred immediately to a general hospital so that they can take care of her to avoid complications, and in case there happens to be any complication. Like a lecturer of mine always says, "making appropriate referral is an attribute of a good doctor". I have mentioned time without number that a dentist is a doctor of dental medicine/surgery. But you keep saying a dentist is not a Medical doctor, did I tell you that a dentist is a physician or doctor of medicine before? You keep making us repeat conversations we have had before. Just rest abeg. Unless you have something new to say, I'm done replying you. I don't have time to be repeating myself.... 1 Like |
