I marvel whenever I see ignorant people vomiting their thrash in order to insult doctors.
For your information, it's not easy to be a doctor, asides the fact that training is very very expensive.
The situation is worse in Nigeria where a doctor is made to do work of 20 doctors leading to burn out, mistakes and premature deaths of doctors themselves.
Despite the above, we Nigerian doctors receive peanut from government as take home when politicians who haven't contributed to nation building live at large.
Even the budgeted peanut don't come regularly until we are forced to embark on strike.
Fellow Nigerians, the little sanity you still see in Nigerian hospitals today is courtesy of RESIDENT DOCTORS.
Why should we be begging the government to pay our money that was budgeted for ?
Why should a senator be receiving over 43 million naira monthly while me that have studied (and still studying night and days) and treated human lives for over 15 years receive 400k monthly.
How do you expect me to put in my best when I can't afford good food, housing, good school for my children among others ? The 'Dr' title doesn't pay our bills nor buy us drugs when we fall sick or contact dangerous diseases at work.
I expect the whole Nigerians to mobilize themselves and protest against Federal Government of Nigeria to do the needful.
The People in Government are not bothered because they don't use our hospital, but I expected the masses to be bothered.
Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors is fighting for Nigerians to improve our healthcare delivery as we have the best trained doctors worldwide even without equipment in our hospitals.
Thank you.
