The University College Hospital hass advertised for various positions in the Hospital...Interested candidates may do well to apply.. you never know who will benefit from this...so spread the message.

You see the imbroglio between medical doctors and the paramedics is taking a new dimension where physical assaults and blockades seems to be the new order... Mazi Paul John has this to say.. How long shall we remain victims of physical assaults while performing our lawful duties? Physical assaults on medical doctors, especially the resident pathologists are becoming a regular occurrence in our tertiary hospitals. When I read the expected defence by the UCH chapter of Association of Medical Laboratory Science of Nigerian (AMLSN), exonerating one of their members, I began to wonder when this childish and barbaric behaviour would stop. Indeed, it is not yet clear to me if the law ever permits one to brutalise others or whether the law will expect that those who are constantly made victims of such brutality should live and stay with their oppressors all in the name of maintaining peace. So, I ask once again, how long the doctors shall suffer in the hands of other health workers ?

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE ? Examining a female patient brutally beaten by her husband, Doctor tells her: “Your heart, lungs, pulse, BP are fine. Now let me see that cute little thing which gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble. The woman immediately started taking off her jeans and underwear. Doc shocked said: “No! No! Please put on your clothes. Just show me your tongue…” #LMAO

A few days ago the senate made a plea to Nigerian doctors in diaspora to relocate back to Nigeria and Mazi Paul John had this to tell them... Nigerian Medical Doctors in Diaspora on Their Way to Golgotha BY Paul John My dear Hippocratic colleagues in diaspora, I read about the meeting some of your delegates had with the senate committee chairman on health and the request for you to relocate to Nigeria . It will be a dereliction of duty on my own part to allow my professional  colleagues make the worst decisions they will perpetually regret . Having being away for some time   ,there is every tendency that you may not have known the  happenings in our health sector and in  the country at large . I have decided to  write this piece because a line in our physicians' oath declaration states that : My colleagues will be my brothers and sisters . Is it not ironical that why we in this part of the world are looking for an 'escape velocity ' to disappear from this space (wh

This article aptly captures the state of affairs in most of private hospitals in Nigeria...i wonder what magic patients expect from hospitals.... you beg for the cost of surgery to be reduced for you only to go slaughter 2 cows during the naming ceremony a week later...SMH. read and draw your conclusions.. I own a hospital in Southwest- (not Osun state Nigeria ...lol). I currently have about 17 patients on my ward each of whom I have admitted at several occasions through emergency. None of these patients has paid upto 30% of his/her bill. Some of them have stayed upto 7 weeks on the ward. I admitted and attended to them based on the fact that their conditions were life-threatening as at the time they came. I made their bill known to them - and they signed before they were treated. But there is a common trend, as soon as they felt relief and became stable they pleaded for their bills to be reduced - this I vehemently refused. About 4 weeks ago a woman was rushed in with Eclam
