Naija Doctors: 8 signs you need an update

Dear Nigerian Doctor,

Are you still one of those that does the following;

1. Your Standard Prescription for malaria is Coartem or Fansidar.
2. You advice pregnant women that all anti-malarials are unsafe.
3. You still prescribe Aldomet and moduretic as first line anti hypertensives
4. You tell diabetic patients they can only eat protein foods
5. You still use Aminophylline all the time for asthmatic patients
6. You haven’t gone for a Basic life support course
7. You can only think of largactil when confronted with a psychiatric patient
8. You have no medical app/formulary on your phone

It may be time to take some refresher courses.
