I am even surprised. Doctors have a wide range of work to do. You can specialize in so many areas that we lack in this country. How many: * Gynecologists * Oncologists * Pediatricians * Cardiologists * Neurologists * Dermatologists * Radiologists * Psychiatrists * Orthopedic surgeons * General surgeons * Anesthesiologists * Endocrinologists * Nephrologists * Urologists * Ophthalmologists * ENT specialists (Ear, Nose, and Throat) …and so on and so forth. But you are here fighting over someone else’s area, while they have been trained for six years to practice.

Since kindergarten ive always dreamed of being a haematologist, but because of your whims i should do gynaecology?

I just watched this interview of a Korle Bu doctor explaining the strike and I’m honestly angry. Saying lab professionals “don’t have the training to correlate results with clinical findings” is simply false. Clinical correlation is part of our training. It’s exactly why we ask for DIAGNOSIS on request forms. You cannot send incomplete forms with no diagnosis, then turn around and say labs can’t correlate results. ALSO, The claim that labs have been producing “nonsensical” results for 10–15 years is not just inaccurate, it’s reckless. If that were true, we would have system-wide clinical failure, no routine care still functioning across the country. Lab medicine is not guesswork. It’s a regulated discipline built on SOPs, internal QC, EQA schemes, validation protocols and trained professionals who understand both the analytics and the clinical context. And since we’re talking about “why tests are repeated” and “why revenue drops,” let’s not pretend there aren’t other drivers. There are well-known practices where requests are redirected to private labs so that you the prescribers get a commission and we know it all too well and that has to be part of the conversation too. If there are specific cases of poor quality, present the data, audit it, fix it. But blanket statements about incompetence???? After training for 6 plus years I beg to differ! We all want patient safety. That requires accurate testing, proper clinical information and honest collaboration. Not selective narratives that place blame on one group while ignoring the full picture.

I am 51 and deeply regret not having kids. I was stringently brainwashed into believing that I should never have children. I’ve never even been pregnant as far as I know. I was on birth control from age 16 through age 49.

😭😭😭

For the smartest people in your class to do medicine and surgery and still say it’s difficult should tell you something about the program. Now imagine me wey no smart wey adey do medicine and surgery. Chale mebrɛ fkn 😭😹😹

Steph Curry scored 17pts in the 4th quarter in the Finals lol, and this was the 2nd time he did that in this series

You read the quotes and the comments and you ask yourself “so these are the doctors we have in Ghana?” It seems they have some hidden anger within them, that they are always waiting for a moment to spill it out.
