@Sylvesterayim @Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh @Didymus1234 Ashock!More of them saw the light and went and did lab, thankfully the internet never forgets when they cross carpet after reality hits them we will be here to remind them

@bleym12 @Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh @Didymus1234 Gemp forms are not sold in secret😂

NOTE: DOCTORS OF MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE/MLSD's ARE THE REAL LABORATORY DOCTORS (LAB DOCTORS). REST ARE DUPLICATIONS. @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city news @metrotvgh

@SantanStan1 How is this even difficult? I was even thinking they as MLSDs will argue they will come to bedside to help correlate labs with patient clinical history and examination findings yet they don't want us to have the doctors who will do both the lab work and bedside work!

Sure but without the clinical knowledge and reasoning from the clinician, your results are useless too. Thats why you should open the labs to them and stop threatening them, so together you can save patients’ lives.🙏🏻

@Sylvesterayim @Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh @Didymus1234 Very soon when reality hits them they will go to medical school to become medical doctors too😂

@bleym12 @Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh @Didymus1234 Bossu they don't want to hear this oh 🤣

@PJosaiah @_iamsamani @JoyNewsOnTV @Channel1TVGHA @tv3_ghana @labdoctorsghana @GAMLSpb2 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @Didymus1234 see someone too....3na oracle😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

We are the oracle the clinicians must consult to know what is happening to the patient! Without the oracle, the “seer” sees nothing! @_iamsamani @JoyNewsOnTV @Channel1TVGHA @tv3_ghana @labdoctorsghana @GAMLSpb2

@dr_bandak 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Don't worry, in a few years time when he crosses carpet we will be here to show him his receipts!

So if you finish the GEMP (Graduate Entry Medical Program), you will be automatically considered an oppressor😜 ❓

@aburazak19 @Didymus1234 @dr_bandak You don't need to feed anyone for them to respect you!If you don't respect someone expect the same measure of disrespect!

@Didymus1234 @dr_bandak As if you feed someone Go and sit down

Good news. The strike has been suspended, and that is the right outcome. We should all be able to coexist as colleagues. At the end of the day, many of us sat in the same classrooms. Same biology class. Same ambitions. Different paths. Today, I even saw one of my biological science classmates, now a principal medical laboratory scientist, making strong arguments. That is how it should be. 😅 We are not enemies. We are one health workforce. Doctors, pharmacists, medical laboratory scientists, nurses. Different roles. Same mission. The real issue should never be about personalities. It should be about roles. No system works when one excludes the other. And no system should ever reach a point where patient care is disrupted because roles are not clearly defined. Always remember that healthcare is organized for patient outcomes.

@Didymus1234 @reggie_manuel @dr_bandak Did you see the level of stupidity displayed by those whose certs are are yet to recognised by the FWSC? and what do you mean by being human here? If you wouldn't respect others don't expect to be respected!

@reggie_manuel @dr_bandak I won't do better chairman If most of them won't be respectful That's how we will treat them !

@DcMayor1 @dr_bandak @Didymus1234 If professionals still think primitively like this,you wonder what the essence of their education is!

@DcMayor1 @dr_bandak @Didymus1234 another one says because there is now MLSD there should be no pathologists trained again!

Honestly, I would have preferred a different way of handling this. A strike over laboratory access feels like an overreach, especially in a national referral hospital where any disruption immediately affects patients. But the strike is not the real story. The real story is how we got here. Is this a leadership battle, or a territorial battle? If you believe the laboratory should be reserved only for medical laboratory scientists, that is not consistent with how modern diagnostic systems work. If you also believe the laboratory must be led only by laboratory physicians, that is equally incomplete. Those are the two extremes. A serious health system should be able to find a workable middle ground between them. —- The reason this conflict feels so intense is that the laboratory is the center of modern diagnosis. It determines cancer diagnoses, antimicrobial choices, transfusion safety, and clinical decision-making. That is why leading teaching hospitals treat laboratories as diagnostic systems rather than professional territories. ——- Medical laboratory scientists protect the technical reliability of results. They manage testing systems, sample processing, quality control, method validation, instrumentation, accreditation, and workflow. Their core question is: Is this result accurate and reliable? If a test is technically unreliable at Korle Bu, the mere presence of laboratory physicians will not automatically correct that failure. That is why this debate should not be reduced to a vague claim about “validating results.” —- I have also noticed that a few people don't seem to understand what laboratory medicine is about. Laboratory medicine is a well-established specialty. (The history of infectious diseases is one of my favorite topics) Laboratory physicians bring a different function. They connect laboratory findings to diagnosis, specialist reporting, treatment decisions, and complex patient care. Ghana’s own specialist training pathway recognizes laboratory medicine in anatomic pathology, chemical pathology, hematology, and medical microbiology. Their core question is: What does this result mean for the patient? ——- The term “validation” must be separated into at least two levels. Medical laboratory scientists confirm that the sample is acceptable, the instrument worked, quality control passed, and the result is analytically sound. In other words, “Technical Validation.” Laboratory medicine physicians provide clinical validation for a select # of specialist cases. It is worth noting that not every result needs a laboratory physician's sign-out/validation. Most are released through technical validation and approved procedures/protocols. But some tests are different. For example; A biopsy can diagnose cancer. A bone marrow report can diagnose leukemia. Genomic results can shape major clinical decisions. These sometimes require clinical correlation. In most established systems, this is mostly done by laboratory physicians —- If this dispute is mainly about who leads the laboratory, then a better model would be structured co-leadership. A laboratory physician can lead the clinical domain. A medical laboratory scientist should lead the technical and operational/administrative domain. This is what is done in major hospital labs. Then again, I hope this is not merely about “who heads the lab.” And I will be more disappointed if it's also about “ACCESS” —— Healthcare should be organized for patient outcomes and higher standards of care. We can achieve that only through collaboration. Not competing for professional dominance. —- In Johns Hopkins & other major hospitals, laboratory services sit within departments of pathology and laboratory medicine. They have a medical director (usually a laboratory physician/pathologist) and an administrative director (usually a medical laboratory scientist) ——- But what do you think the real issue is? I would love to hear from both sides

@Didymus1234 @DcMayor1 @dr_bandak Oh yh,in this guy's view countries that still have pathologists should stop the specialty and hand over to MLSDs because they are the real doctors of the labs! They want to now have MLS.nurses,MLS.pharmacists,MLS.orderlies etc and now operate as full teams in the lab!

@bleym12 @DcMayor1 @dr_bandak 😂😂😂there is only one and one pathologist and that's a physician who has specialised in pathology They are simply saying because they are in existence There is no need to have hematologist,pathologist etc Crazy

@Didymus1234 @Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂if we didn't look sharp like by now you are also here telling us to stop doing laboratory medicine because you are now the proper doctor of the lab giving injections and treating patients in your lab😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@bleym12 @Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh Abi we all know it la 😂 If I hadn't studied medicine,would most likely have some mlsd or pharmD

@Saynotoquackery @labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂how can you say they are medico rejects? They MLSDs for crying out loud please 😂😂😂😂 @Didymus1234 someone say your friends are medico rejects oo😂

@labdoctorsghana @ghonetv @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @city @metrotvgh You all are deluded. Doctors if medical lab science indeed , but you couldn’t gain admission to study medicine and surgery . Pathologists are the real laboratory doctors not your make MLSD.

@dr_bandak 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this is how petty it gets,years back that's how petty these guys became to the extent that students of lab science came to shade doctors for free😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

@mark1millikan @_oaklight @dr_bandak You are clearly very new to this issue,I doubt when it started you had completed primary school,I shall not engage you further!

@bleym12 @_oaklight @dr_bandak You believe such news? Physically assault them? Let's be serious in this country

Is this the real reason? Access? If so, why is this so difficult?

@DcMayor1 @dr_bandak Again,I want to believe you are being sarcastic else if you are serious ,it shows how Ghana has a long way to go!There are worldwide standards and practices and if you think because there is MLS.D,then laboratory medicine should cease to exist,then you have a very big problem!

@DcMayor1 @dr_bandak I want to believe you are being sarcastic else if that's your thinking you should bow your head in shame and realize mindsets like yours are the reasons Ghana isn't moving forward!I dare you to mention any top 20 hospitals in the world which doesn't have a Lab medicine dept!

@bleym12 @dr_bandak It’s not relevant anymore to have such a specialization

@_oaklight @dr_bandak @mark1millikan Yh and this was as far back as 2018 now they want it to sound like it's about lab headship only! They've in the past threatened to physically assault laboratory physicians who came to work in the laboratories!

@bleym12 @dr_bandak @mark1millikan mind you the author of this piece is currently one of the heads of the lab scientists at KBTH and he referred to himself as a laboratory physician here. I believe there’s more to this than what is being reported.

@dr_bandak @mark1millikan The genesis of this issue has been clearly about access. Read what an MLS had to say back when this issue started coming up: mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/…

@mark1millikan I see

@dr_bandak mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/… Boss have a read,this article was written by an MLS as far back as 2018 to rubbish laboratory medicine as a medical specialty. You will be shocked the level of ignorance he uses in writing the piece.Have a read for yourself

@deelite @dr_bandak Unless you are being clearly mischievous,this issue has stemmed from a MLS claiming doctors are running away from the consulting rooms to the labs to become LPs,something they claim was made up to take the lab space from them! Meanwhile such a specialty predates their profession!

@dr_bandak It’s about who “heads” the lab.
