Some X creators think they’re sooo special because they have tons of followers and refuse to reply to anyone. Ignore them. Engage with the creators who aren’t “too good” for you, the ones who actually reply, collaborate, and build community. Some egos are so gigantic they act like they know everything. Real ones stay humble and connected.

POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL AFFECT THE NIGERIAN HEALTH SECTOR IN GIVING OUT THE RADIOGRAPHY PROFESSION TO MDCN:☘️ PART1👌 There are major negative consequences and worsening situations that would likely affect the Nigerian health sector if the regulation of the noble radiography profession is handed over to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), effectively dismantling or subordinating the Radiographers Registration Board of Nigeria (RRBN). Some of these consequences may include: 1. Loss of Professional Autonomy and Demotivation of Radiographers: Radiographers would be stripped of self-regulation under their own expert board and placed under a doctor-centric council (MDCN) with no radiography specialists. This would lead to widespread frustration, lower morale, and accelerated “Japa” (brain drain), worsening the already critical shortage of skilled radiographers in hospitals nationwide. 2. Inadequate Specialist Oversight Leading to Substandard Practices: MDCN members (primarily medical doctors and dentists) lack deep expertise in radiographic science, radiation safety, imaging physics, or advanced modalities like MRI/CT. This could result in poor policy decisions, unsafe protocols, and increased diagnostic errors across the health system. 3. Heightened Inter-Professional Conflicts and Industrial Disputes: Forcing radiographers under MDCN control (while radiologists remain under the same body) would spark dominance battles, scope-of-practice disputes, and potential strikes by the Association of Radiographers of Nigeria (ARN). Health facilities could face prolonged shutdowns in imaging departments, delaying care for millions of Nigerians. 4. Financial Colonisation and Resource Starvation: Licensing, registration, and practising fees currently paid to RRBN would be diverted to MDCN (and indirectly benefit groups like the Nigerian Medical Association). This would cripple radiography-specific training, research, equipment maintenance, and advocacy, leaving the profession underfunded. 5. Delays in Training, Accreditation, and Licensing: MDCN’s bureaucracy, already stretched regulating doctors and dentists, would slow down university programme approvals, student inductions, and annual licence renewals. This would create bottlenecks in producing new radiographers, worsening manpower shortages in a sector already struggling with brain drain. @NGRSenate @officialABAT @PBATMediaCentre @Senator_Akpabio

First it was Radiologists proposing National Council of Radiology bill to get us both under the same umbrella in 2017, we carefully brought it down. Now it's MDCN through the FMOH trying to do the same in 2026. You guys don't get tired ???

@Rad_Adebayo Let’s assume it’s a tubal stump ectopic cyesis like you’ve said It’s a surgical emergency Querying your Impression still places the physician in confusion which he aimed to clarify by sending for scan 🤔 🤔🤔🤔

A Medical Doctor on this app openly saying in their facility, physicians are the ones Operating a C-Arm machine🥲🤔 during an orthopedic procedure. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that, Doctors are the real enablers of Quackery in Nigeria, Sorry to say🥲🥲🥲😢 Major Consequences of Operating a C-Arm Machines by untrained and non-Radiographers includes: 1. Increased Radiation Exposure: Untrained personnels often lack the knowledge to apply the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle, leading to unnecessary radiation doses. 2. Health Hazards (Biological Effects): there is Possibility of inducing any of these effects: - Stochastic effect: which is an effect that can course ( Cancer and Genetic Mutation). - Deterministic Effects of ionizing radiation: which is an effect that can course ( Eye cataract and potential organs dysfunction). 3. Clinical and Operational Risks: which includes: - Poor image quality - Physical safety Hazard: like Mechanical accident, trapping or injuring patient - Wested Surgical time for a patient under anesthesia 4. Legal and Regulatory Consequences: in this manner, we can have, - Malpractice Liability: Example, If a patient suffers radiation burns or a surgical complication due to poor imaging, the hospital and the non-Radiographer May face severe legal liability for failing to follow established safety protocols. - Institutional Risk: Use of unverified or unauthorized operation protocols can result in the loss of hospital accreditation or heavy fines from health safety boards. These are just some of the risks and detrimental factors which quackery in Radiography May lead to, Always stick to your scope of practice Doctor👏

@UnegbuVivi27491 NNRA and RRBN should ensure to do more in terms of monitoring and inspection, if there's periodic checks and strict enforcement, diagnostic centers not meeting the requirements in terms of set up and qualified personnel are shut down. There will be limit to this quackery !!!

The thing there is, a lot of health workers don't know the gr@ve consequences of radiation. Because they don't see or feel it, they think it's safe(normal). One place I did locum, a nurse was performing x-ray (I don't know if it's auxiliary or RN or Bsc), the x-ray room is not lead lined, the lead apron is not as heavy as it should be (2mm lead). I was just asking her if she knows the danger of what she's into, and it was even darkroom technique. She was a bit defensive, like I'm querying her competency, I just left her and minded my business till I left. Where my sister did posting at Enugu, the orthopedic Drs we're doing x-ray, the room isn't lead lined too, but they wear lead apron, I can't weigh it to know if it contains the permissible amount of lead. These and many more others, even some Radiographers work in unprotected suite. Chopping radiation for free, all in the name of "I can do it". Nigeria is a zoo. It's Radiographers that were trained fully on the stochastic effects of radiation. Did they think we run out of radiation suite for fun? Or wear lead aprons to look like superman. In NAUTH, radiologists try their absolute best to be far away from radiation suite; if they're doing specials, if you see how they suit up like people that are going to space and they try to be as fast as possible. Radiation no be child's play. There's a reason encroachment is very minimal in our profession and why a lot of people retire early or do not practice entirely. Let me stop here first.
