That's how senior GOK doctors operate as well. Most of the other 'doctors' you meet in GOK hospitals and GOK referral hospitals are students in Medical school, some in their first years, others doing their masters and phd. Their lectures who are senior doctors will do rounds with them once in a while. That's why you'll never see the older doctors in the streets

They work on your laps aka lap dancers

@Alma loose the dictionary. A general ward (the one that caters for kawa patients like lets say those sick with Malaria, would need/require about 3 docs each working on 8hr shifts unless there's an emergency. The majority of the work in hospitals is done by clinical officers and nurses, the clinical officer is the person who sees you first and refers you to either a certain doc or to the lapb technician for testing. Docs work in rounds - they read the charts noted by COs and nurses and then decide if the patient will continue to stay or can take can go home and become an out patient.

Now incases of an emergency or epidemic all docs get in and are on call, now in such cases they should be paid overtime. That is when their hours are not fixed. There are days that some docs see less than 5 people in a week. Clocking in and out is important, so that docs working in those hospitals where there's too much of work can be well compensated.

I am particularly not for the idea that all docs should be paid the same. They need to put in time for their pay. Those jungu docs you see volunteering are here are putting in time while doing research.

Another thing, govt should stop subsidizing medical degrees. Let them take up student loans and pay up after employment after all, its guaranteed.

The government is busy campaigning while doctors are busy running their private clinics. Truly, to be poor is a crime.
