The latest episode of the entertaining TV Drama
Series, Professor Johnbull, sponsored by the fully integrated
telecommunications company, Globacom, draws attention to the activities of
orthodox medicine practitioners, their "one-drug-cures-all" tendency
and the attendant effects on public health.
Entitled Street Doctors, the
episode exposes the threat such quack medical practitioners pose to the
nation's public health orientation, and calls on all to make conscious efforts
to patronise only registered and government approved health facilities.
It also urges pharmaceutical personnel to dispense only medications duly
prescribed by doctors.
While not totally doubting the efficacy of orthodox
medicine or the relevance of the practice in modern day Nigeria, Street
Doctors propose that it is foolhardy for anyone to believe that there
is a "one-stop drug" which cures all ailments including
"curiosity", as claimed by the peddlers of such wonder drugs.
Airing on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV
Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes on Tuesday at 8.30 p.m. with
a repeat broadcasting Friday on the same channels and at the same time,
the sitcom, once again, lives up to its billing as the moral conscience of the
society.
