@NatMonPow@MickCo8 Nigeria doesn't look like that at all se states have predominant Muslims and even those states don't look entirely like that.
Cheap and useless rage bait
@Thazhigilla_@Osas_000 The lumbar puncture aspect is probably the clinical correlate there but asking management in anatomy is just crazy.
Anatomy of the vertebrae and then add the lumbar puncture is more anatomical. I definitely didn't know this in my 2รฑd year at med sch
@kainejohnson18@AdageorgeA Well a ruptured appendix is a medical emergency and should be operated immediately usually an Exlap.
But an appendix mass is managed conservatively with antibiotics and close monitoring before surgery.
The MDCN just dropped a memo on CPD, and we need to talk about the reality of what this means for every Nigerian doctor.
For those wondering, CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is basically the councilโs way of ensuring we aren't practicing with "expired" knowledge. To get your license every year, you now have to prove youโve sat through enough seminars and courses to earn 20 units.
In theory, this is great. A doctor who stops learning is a danger to the public. But in practice? Itโs starting to feel like a subscription service we never asked for. We just survived a massive hike in annual license fees, and now weโre expected to pay separate fees to buy these CPD points.
If the goal is truly self-improvement and better patient outcomes, why isn't this training free? Or at the very least, why isn't it covered by the licensing fee we already pay?
Itโs even more frustrating for our colleagues in the diaspora. They are already doing CPDs to satisfy regulators in the UK or US, yet theyโre being asked to pay extra to keep their Nigerian license active. If a fee must exist, it should be uniform and transparent. A doctor is a doctor, regardless of where they are currently practicing.
What do you guys think? Is the MDCN overstepping with these extra costs, or is this a fair price for โstandardization"?
Don't discourage anybody because you had a bad experience.

@Abdurra82496403@enema200@TheIjeomaNtada So without Calcium And phosphate levels a diagnosis of CKD cannot be made?
Dm is not an indication for doing ca and Po as first line investigation.
They are not even first line for nephropathy
