BiafranDel:What's your definition of meaningless course?..No one is hating on doctors..All I am trying to say is that students should be well-oriented before choosing their career..The issue of students writing jamb 5-6 times because they want to study MBBS is what we are talking about here whereas they can conveniently study other lucrative courses and it's not like most of these students want to study it cos they love it.Most of them do it for the pay..It's not even like you are guaranteed a good job or secured future after graduation in this country.. So no one is showing hatred or disgust for doctors..And just because someone is studying MBBS does not make him/her fortunate than others.. 2 Likes 1 Share |

@OP Icewinz. God bless you for this post. A lot of us have always been misled from childhood by our parents, teachers and society to think that the only succesful people in life are people who study profesional courses like medicine and become doctors. This is a very terrible and wrong mentality which we must fight against. Medicine is so much overrated in Nigeria. 1 Like |

MrEgghead: If that's the case then everyone will be a businessman cos everyone works for monetary reasons, the only difference is our passion guides the choice in the profession we get to work with. There are people who have a lot of passion for Medicine and have decided to harness and tap into the business side of it. So saying there's a difference between profession and business is wrong. My profession is my business. If you tell me and others not to take it as a business but a profession then there'll likely be no doctor left cos what's d use of toiling more than almost everyone else and you tell me to work for passion on an empty stomach, even that passion will die. That's why docs who venture into private practice are successful and usually fulfilled cos they harp on the business side of their profession. Money is a defence, it answereth all things, a labourer is worthy of his hire. You guys should stop reading that con author called Robert Kiyosaki's book. The guy just dey yearn rubbish. Every profession is a business, you don't need to be an entrepreneur to be a businessman. As long as you making money, you a businessman cos you investing money in terms of tfare, feeding, clothing, time and manpower into your profession and you're being rewarded with a salary. As they say Time is money. When you play solo that "salary" jacks up even further. So every profession is a business bro. 4 Likes 1 Share |

eleojo23: Okay go to the market and talk to the seller anyhow in a rude and annoying manner, infact throw the money at him like patients drop things on the floor for doctors, then tell the shop owner "the client/customer is always right" and see if you won't be beaten out of the market like a thief. That word is the most overrated & abused balderdash I've seen in my whole life. "Respect is Reciprocal" is the phrase you should put to mind and memorise instead, not that joke you spat up there. Nothing came with the job, we doctors have just allowed ourselves to be a doormat for every Tom, Dick & Harry to misbehave to and get away with it cos most docs are emotionally needy, really need validation and want to be perceived as "next-to-God" and calm and gentle. There's only a limit to such rubbish before the true nature explodes. Can they try such crap with other professions? Not even with nurse's sef. But with doctor, any rubbish goes, afterall they swore one funny oath laidat. Rubbish! If I become the Minster of Health, all this nonsense will definitely come to an end cos I go too treat enough patient fvck up in addition to the illness they present with. 1 Like |

mediclife1987:Where does a consultant earn 700k/month? The salary scale for a consultant is CONMESS 5 which is equivalent to GL 17.This implies the highest you can earn as a consultant( when you get to step 10) is a little above 500k. Main reason some people should refrain from surfing the net coz they'll end up getting misinformed and miseducated by media of falsehood like you.... |

mediclife1987: a fresh consultant actually earns 801k and as a consultant your duty hours are grossly reduced so you can combine like 4 different hospitals at a time, and the other hospitals usually employ a pay-as-you-work salary scheme and you will probably end up gathering close to 400k in a month, that's already 1.2 with sic zeros behind for a consultant who is just a beginner, if you somehow become the chief consultant.... or let's say you make it to the CMD level alone Good Lord. by the way, new consultants hardly lecture in medical schools, they might be mandated to tutor interns which I am not sure adds a single kobo to them. |
