did i say, i am the best in my society. There is a reason i didnt mention law, but those other courses are worth my mention. I would rather mention music than law. even pharmcy and nursing deserves my mention. I am entitled to my opinion please. Gooday

hahaha... music is infact much tougher than medicine haha nd much more lucrative than medicine. ... nd the highest paid professor is not the highest paid because he is a MD but because of his achievement as a MD... you dont get paid 4+M because u are PhD MD. as a matter of fact a genius computer science student would definitely be richer than a genius medical student. Ask bill gate or mark Zuckerberg, even ask Dangote self if it takes the best brains to be successful. hope you had a lovely night. all nairalander should follow this woman, you will learn..

That's in the private sector and not in the government sector. Even when it exists, it is not mostly doctors. The thing varies. At times, u hear that a management executive earns higher or even a psychology prof. It is not exclusive to medical doctors or dentists. Do u know in the private sector in America that a dentist earns higher than a medical doctor most of the time? It's not only in America but in the western world mostly while all these ICT professors earn higher most of the time. Stop being ignorant.

Guy stop being illiterate. Even in the NHS professionals are paid differently. In the US professions are paid differently. Instead of using Google to learn u are here arguing blindly. "Highest paid professionals in the US", " Highest paid professor in the US", "Lecturers laid according to their courses in UK". This are top searches, for a while now British government have been paying high priority professionals higher. Try and study to know, not argue blindly. Only people in the financial sector like me, Pilots and Top executives are paid more than doctors and d criteria is the income these sector generate. Learn.

I told u it's in the private sector. It's not in the government sector. All lecturers are paid the same in the government sector. The NHS is different too (i agree with u on that). I saw where as of 2017, the highest paid is pathology and dermatology professor followed by a gyneocology professor followed by a person in business administration and finance. all these are in the private sector. That's what i had earlier wanted u to understand. In the government sector there, lecturers are paid the same. Even this ranking may change in 2018. U may even be surprised in 2018, it will be from another profession. Even in Nigeria here, those in the petrochemical and ICT sectors are heavily paid more than professors and healthcare professionals. This is also mostly a private sector. Try and understand. See this quote.


"College professors may teach at either private or public universities; their level of expertise and interest will determine where they spend the bulk of their years teaching. If a professor can obtain a position at a prestigious private university, he or she will most likely be paid a lot more than at a second-tier or lesser-known public school.

As you might expect, the highest-paid professors teach mostly at prestigious private universities: Columbia, Cornell, Yale, Harvard, and Duke. Two teach at public universities: UC Berkeley and UT Austin. And three teach at the Thunderbird School of Global Management, an international business school located in Arizona."

true, but remember that medical doctors are there to first to serve humanity,that is why we treat ourselves like elites and brothers, but nigerians like to take advantage of that fact and want to ride us. There was a patient who was chronically ill and his relatives kept saying they had little funds, we did the best we could, even contributed money in the unit but we lost him. The next day his relatives came with two lawyers demanding for an autopsy saying that we were negligent in our duty where did they get the money for lawyers, they never even completely paid their hospital bills. They thought they were smart. These and many other make doctors cold to patients at times.when we strike people will just be going online and be talking ignorantly like that ponzihater dude.

Whether he decides to tell you he's studying Med Surg is his own prerogative,could as well claim anything he feels like..whether a government advert decides to lump them together as Medical Officers or separately is a matter of choice as I have seen both instances..
The NDA is ONE of many Associations under the NMA; Gynaecologists, Ophthalmologists, Neurologists and other Specialists have their own Associations ALL under the NMA and yes being under the NMA offers better bargaining power to ALL Doctors..
Like I said,you can't swear to the HYPOCRATIC OATH if you're not deemed a Doctor.. Your sentiments matters not, the government whose decisions matters treats and compensates them as such and THAT is ALL that matters..I should know ,I am in the Civil Service..

Are you minding the boy? So It's ok for an MBBS doctor who does not have any exposure in Oral medicine/pathology, oral surgery and all arrays of oral and dental ailments to call himself a Medical doctor, but not ok for a Dental surgeon who is knowledgeable in general Medicine and surgery except O and G, pedo nd comm med (just as they are defficient in all of Dental surgery courses) to call himself a Medical doctor. Smh. The guy is only jealous. The MBBS doctors and BDS doctors have an understanding. They are one.. Working towards the wellbeing of the whole man. Haters can embrace a high tension poll

Very stupid analogy.What a medical doctor is is all over Wikipedia if u are DAT daft. Medical lab scientist are well trained and don't claim what they are not. A dentist is not a medical doctor. No special surgery posting, no special medicine posting, no paed, no gynae. We all know the bedrock of medicine and surgery which makes one a medical doctor and unfortunately dentistry is not. The fact that doctor where benevolent enough to carve out a niche for u people to be scaling and polishing tooths shouldn't make u stupid and illiterate. Lab scientist do anath, biochemistry, and physiology and all the pathology, and other courses that doctors don't do, yet they don't start claiming trash. If u have been called or your brain got u into polishing and pulling out tooth do it with all gladness and stop claiming what u are not.

U are a dentist. Look at your certificate 5 times a day to remind you who u are, look into your licence if you have graduated to know that u were certified a dentist by MDCN. Doctors look into their certificate and see they have a bachelors degree in medicine, they also have a bachelor's degree in surgery which make them the epoch, you have no bachelors in any of those but rather an academic rotation which doesn't mean much.

Dentists ..... d least trained? I'm not sure u're well. Tell me u're a joker and dat u're not serious. Don't say this in d hearing of any educated and reasonable fellow! He/she will say u're not in ur right senses. D training of a medical doctor and a dentist is at par, though they're slightly different professions that complement each other. U mentioned courses offered by MLS which a medical doctor doesn't do. Don't u know dat both dental and medical students do laboratory medicine? Or don't u know dat medical microbiology, chem path, haematology, and histopath are done by both medical and dental students in 400 level? I heard u're a sergeant in d police. No wonder u don't know this. It's not ur fault at all.

So since a doctor did those laboratory courses can he then beat his chest and call himself a lab scientist?. If he can't then a dentist can't wake up and start telling people that his course of study is medicine and surgery like some of you are condoning. I will never subscribe to cheap lies and deciet. Accept the certificate ur school gave u. And I still stand dat dentist are the least trained. Lab scientist do 2 clinical postings, 1 for 6months and a full 1 year posting. They do their job with pride and never cross paths with anybody. Pharmacist study and go through more rigprous training than even medical doctors and their criteria for passing is so strict. Dentist hide under the umbrella of medical doctors and are spoon fed and pampered all through their romance with medicine and surgery till they are given a soft landing to their main course. I say the main fact

No dental student/dentist here has actually said here that a dentist is a medical doctor. U're d one misunderstanding their points. U and i know that most of these adverts for residency training or any medical/dental job may/may not outrightly state they're looking for dentists, rather they will include all the branches of dentistry as part of the medical jobs in the section for medicine, cos they believe there's not much difference. It's left for u as a dentist to apply. For example, they may be looking for medical/dental officers, at times they may not separate the two; they'll just state medical officers or house officers. at times too, they may specify it: medical/dental officers. I have seen adverts like that. One problem with u is that u lack proper understanding.

As regards if a doctor will claim he is a med lab scientist since he did medical laboratory courses. They do indirectly but i don't support that and it is a denigration of another profession. The problem in the teaching hospital today is because a pathologist or even an ordinary doctor with no specialist training in laboratory medicine will claim he knows everything in MLS and that there is nothing in it that he does not know, hence he should be their head. Don't u know that is part of the NMA vs JOHESU crisis?

If u are not working in a multinational then u are not leaving big. It's a fact that doctors are some of the hungriest people in the country. I am leaving far above many doctors and I am proud I achieved that by "standing up, carrying my bed and starting to walk" instead of depending on crutches make advancement. The dependency mentality of doctor is too high. Imagine finishing school and remaining homeless and without a single property after 4yrs yet raising shoulder.

Am not most doctors and I don't have to work in a multinational to be doing okay and unlike you and your esteemed profession which seemed not to have been able to feed you,l am living off the proceeds of being a Dentist..So like I said your respect of my profession is the least of my worries in life..

How can a man in a sane mind belittle a great course as dentistry

The same group of guys in secondary school dt walked around everywhere wit their Chem n physics textbooks..

Had to pass WAEC wit very gud grades (mostly distinctions)

Score high in JAMB

Outscore over a 1000 oda applicants in post ume....

Lol.. I can really feel your frustrations. Ndo. BTW, Med Lab Scientists do not do Medicine and surgery so there's no link. So, they can't even claim to be doctors. No one can truely be a doctor or claim to be without the knowledge in Medicine and surgery. Dentists/dental surgeons do all of the courses you mentioned (bioch,physio,anat,pharm, path) writing them as MBBS exams with the same marking standard as their medical counterparts. Dentists do medicine and surgery postings and short postings as well in dermatology, ENT, psychiatry, anaesthesiology, ophthalmology,radiology etc (your so-called special med and surg), And take exams including clinical exams in these..

Plus ORAL MEDICINE and Oral/maxillofacial surgery, oral pathology, orthodontics,pediatric dentistry etc.. They don't just do scaling and polishing and extractions (as you ignorantly stated), they TREAT medical conditions as well related to the mouth and maxillofacial areas (Hallitosis, tonsillitis, sleep apnoea, stomatitis, apthous ulcers,erythroplakia,leucoplakia, candidiasis,gingivitis, tumors and fractures of the jaw and facial bones etc etc) MEDICALLY using drugs and SURGICALLY and you still think they are not medical doctors? So the doctor who treats your heart, eye etc diseases medically is the only medical doctor you know, while the one who treats your mouth diseases medically and surgically is not a medical doctor.. Smh. Would you allow a non medical doctor to perform a surgery in your mouth? Dentists are medical doctors of the mouth and maxillofacial region, and because the whole body is linked, they are also doctors of the human body. And that is why their medical knowledge is not restricted to the mouth. Their salary supports these so-called claims bro. BTW, are you trying to say your mouth is not an important part of your body.. And I'll pray you become mouthless (probably developing a large oral tumour) and see how it feels like.. Lol. Give honour to whom it's due.

I hate to see u as illiterate but u are ur degree is bachelor of dental sciences/surgery and the stupid degree ends there, all the other things u are saying is mere baldadash and non-existent jargon. Medicine and surgery speaks for itself with their degree.

sgtponzihater:

Sgt Ponzi Hater.

Lol..very funny. And yet you are not a doctor. The degree says, Bachelor in Dental SURGERY.. Involves performing microsurgery in the dental tissue, the pulp of the teeth requiring high technicalities to locate and operate their-in (RC therapy), also involves Periodontal plastic surgeries to repair receeding gums using grafts SURGICALLY, performing life changing surgeries on the jaws and maxillofacial region to reconstruct jaws and facial bones damaged by accident and cancer, repairing cleft lips and palate SURGICALLY, Performing orthognatic surgeries, aligning misaligned jaws and teeth using orthodontic appliances.. Also treating Medical conditions (examples as above and much more) in the mouth using drugs.
Performing facial transplants with proper motivation when necessary (read about Dr Bernard Devauchelle, a Dentist/maxillofacial surgeon). It's pitiful all you know about dentistry is scaling and polishing and extraction.. Lol

And yes, I'll look at my certificate more than 5 times a day to remind myself that I'm a SURGEON with special skills to restore your dental and maxillofacial deformities to working conditions. No one has such skills like myself. And have gone through rigorous trainings in Human Medicine and Dentistry to acquire that degree. In the theatre, the whole of the human body is under my care and expertise not just the mouth while I work in my region. So, who else has the ability to treat Surgically and Medically in the oral cavity if not a dentist. Lol.

Whenever I look at the degree, it is a constant reminder of my hardwork and dedication in the medical school. Who can write two exams simultaneously (MBBS and BDS) and come out at the end as a SURGEON, a Dental Surgeon. Only one who has been touched by the gods.. #smiles. Try it if you no dey fear, and I bet you can't survive the 2nd MB phase.
