Otuabaroku: I don't know why everybody is just advising the op to accept the sudden change of the wife attitude to very important issue simply because this is not the only reason why he married at first place.

@Op, talk to your wife and let her know that worshipping God does not mean she should look unkept all the time.
Equally let her know the implication of what she is doing and your concern and worries. Hopefully she listens and change.

well said bro , never underestimate d power of attraction if a husband is immemsely attracted to his wife and why would she suddenly change without involving the husband she is meant to discuss with him before undergoin her sudden unattractive metamorphosis . She ought to know that such issue if not handled properly can jeopardise the d fondess of their union which is very important .

GentleMimi: Sai! Patient's perspective indeed.
I weep for this country. I've followed this strike ish for quite some time,even had a debate with some colleagues.
I read an article online abt the requests of the doctors. Nobody is disputing it. They want increase in hazard allowance to N100,000 per month,and some other things too. That is fine by us. But for NMA to boldly come out,stating it will not condone ''blackmail'' by health workers is so annoying. How does the title of ''Consultant'' result to blackmail? Is it something that has never been done before? Is it strange in other countries? Why are the doctors hell bent on being an obstacle to the progress of other health workers?
Now,back to the issue of consultant,let it be known that there are conditions attatched to the title. Medical scientists,pharmacists,nurses,physiotherapists attain educational level of Phd in their profession.
For example,a medical scientist specializes in haematology in masters and Phd level,obtains his fellows and satisfies all requirements by the MLSCN council. Why should such a fellow with vast knowledge in haematology not be allowed to consult with the patient and the patient's doctor on matters relating to haematological matters? It irks when i read some comments here.
In terms of salary,lets have a rethink. For example,as an intern,a scientist earns N120K, a doctor/house officer earns N170K-N180. Now JOHESU requests for an increase,relative to CONMESS scale....N150/160k. Why NMA wan come get HBP on top the matter? All JOHESU is asking for is a relative increase. Peeps who are shouting abt job the rigors of the medical duty should not undermine what other health workers go through. Being on call in haematology laboratory in a teaching hospital is like being on a rollercoaster!
It is the same time too. So what is wrong abt JOHESU requesting for shift duty/call duty allowance and other special allowance.
As an intern,hazard allowance was a mere N10k. What d hell! We handle body fluids too and get exposed to all the vile things running amok.
Those who want privatization of other health sectors are living in a fool's paradise. Who can afford it? Services in the health sector is highly subsidized,but still expensive for certain peeps.
Privatization will only make things worse.
And for the skipping of a thing,why are doctors against skipping when they are doing it? They skip from 10 to 12,we want a skip from 9 to 11. Why dem wan get headache? Lol! *SMH*
finally,on the issue of CMD,i will state here boldly that i have no qualms with doctors being the CMDs. All we ask for is professional courtsey.

very sound and objective write up .Doctors own the patient and nobody want to take your patient away from you we only want to reach the zenith of our respective fields it doesnt stop any doctor from performing his or her duties at all . A house officer pay is d same thing with a PMLS (atleast u must ve worked for 10 years to get to that salary level o! ) while interns get N112 ,546 in d eastern state where i reside so its really poor .Delivering quality healthcare to patients is a focal point in all medical professions and lets not forget anybody can be a patient nobody is excluded not even the doctors who own the patient so i dont how hindering the progress and welfare of other medical professionals will improve the quality of healthcare in this our nation.

prettyprettywow: what is your position on directorship in the hospital? Is that also part of the organogram? what i was taught about organogram in school is that the patient is at the center and surrounded by healthcare professionals. I think only the medical students were taught the organogram, hence the fight. @ the bolded: what do you mean by nurses don't have their own field? what happened to the healthcare field? Nightengale worked with the doctors and not for them. If nursing doesn't have its own field like you said, i wonder why it is regarded as a unique profession, it would have been under the medical profession. The problem with the nursing profession was the greater number of women in it at the time women were not taken seriously, when they were seen and not heard and are considered to be under a man. But this is 21st century where women have been liberated, study their 24 commandments in depth.

what of pharmacy, medlab, physiotherapy, radiography, don't they have their own field? or is everybody working at the doctor's field?

@ the seconded bolded, if it is the right of the doctors to run hospitals in UK, US, Canada, Australia, and there healthcare is very effective, then let it be so in Nigeria. But if not,......I still wonder how the health indices of the giant of Africa is rated 187th out of 190 nations under the natural leadership of Drs

I m feelin u and i think u re well informed on these issues nobody want to answer your question on why other health professionals should not attain the level of directorship which is the zenith of their profession from the civil service point of view

infolekan:

Just answer this simple question? Is Medical Lab Science a Core Medical Course or an Allied Health Course? You can use google before you answer the question.
The core duties of the security man in a Hospital will also include something about protecting the interest of patients and for the best outcome of patients bla bla bla......Aside Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy...every other course is Allied Health and should stay as that. STOP DREAMING and read the guide for the Laboratory Technicians too....I'm sure it can't be less soothing to the ears

okay introduce yourself professionally then we can talk because people who are not well informed having been posting nonsense imagine so u get your info from google its grossly misleading with particular respect to this issues

Some nairalanders keep making pointless and lame comments on medical disciplines where they are least knowledgeable ,its very mortifying guys .l m a medical laboratory scientist and i m proud of my profession.
The medical laboratory science council of Nigeria (MLSCN) empowered by the 2003 ACT NO.11 enacted by the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA Is the regulatory body guarding the practices and professionalism of medical laboratory scientists in Nigeria
In a very simple but precise manner these are the core duties of a medical laboratory scientist :
1. To scientifically diagnose diseases through proper collection ,examination and rigorous analysis of clinical specimens such as whole blood ,serum,plasma,urine,stomach washings,faecal samples,sputum ,serous fluids,nail scrappings,skin snips,semen,saliva washings,skin scrappings,post surgical specimens ,swabs of all body organ and tissues,pus ,ulcer materials etc through numerous clinical procedures ,assays and tests of the different sub -departments that make up medical laboratory science namely; Hematology,chemical pathology,advanced molecular pathology,microbiology and Histopathology
2. To carry out medical and empirical researches with the sole aim of improving patient healthcare,offer scientific solutiions to mysterious clinical cases and discover new diagnostic techniques to tackle re emerging infectious diseases and other diseases .we are also involved in forensic serology (very imperative in paternity disputes and criminal investigations) ,water quality analysis ,quality control and clinical instrumentation .
There are countless procedures of these sub- departments that are too cumbersome to mention here infact Medical laboratory science is a dynamic profession that is designed to provide a broad based fundamental scientific knowledge that evolve steadily in other to execute execellently its main role of disease diagnosis in patient healthcare ,patient care without diagnosis is guesswork and that one my hand no dey o !
I think i ve tried a bit to educate nairalanders here henceforth lets argue reasonably and intellectually.

Hello fellow NLanders i m a bit angry with some posts but i feel some NLanders commentin might not be medical professionals hence will certainly not have the ideal perception and the right cache of information to understand these issues .ln an ideal environment medical workers including doctors work synergetically ,every medical discipline is imperative in providing quality healthcare in our respective hospitals and different health facilities infact no discipline is more important .Lapses in any of the discipline could lead to loss of human lives .The disparity in salary structure is terrible ( i wish i could be very explicit here) and the points given by JOHESU are all valid and devoid of bias or utterances .A well esteemed medical professional with the right calling always strive to demonstrate intellectual prowess in his or her discipline in other to serve humanity tirelessly , be humble and efficient in duty and not hugging superiority complex ,suppressive in altitude and busy politicking hence missing the core objective of being a medical professional.
