Save the Nigerian Doctor!!!I am a doctor and all my professional life, Ive braved several health hazards to treat people. Ive offered free medical care, services, consultations etc to many. Some, friends; some, family; some, acquaintances; some, people I never knew. Even those who I never saw. Its 5 days after the government issued a directive for our sack (over 16,000 doctors), how many of you have called me or sent a message to either enquire if I was affected or to sympathise/empathise with me. Sadly some of those ones who I so cared for have said its good that we (doctors) have been sacked. Let it be on record that doctors are not responsible for the poor state of our health sector, all of us know who is. All the ongoing in the media are mere propaganda to pitch u public against us since they know our professional ethics does allow us propagating ourselves. It is also a truce that doctors are the most well paid in the country. If it so, it should have obviously shown in types of elegant houses we build and the exotic cars we ride. Rather, as doctors we strive daily to give our best to you while being severely limited by a dysfunctional environment set up by extraneous forces. We are separted from our families even at a slight taste of enjoying a moment with them. Desocialised in order to concentrate on service to humanity. I hope one day, you all will understand and see the truth in our struggles as doctors for a better health sector for all Nigerians (you and I).#SaveTheNigerianDoctors.
