Lasisi's skit was funny, did it paint medical professionals in a bad light? Yes

Most funny jokes have some elements of reality in them, that's why they are funny. We all laughed at May I, yet we knew that exceptional lawyers exist, apply that same logic to the doctor skit

If his skit wasn't true to some extent, people would not be laughing, however, we need to understand that not everyone who wears a white gown in a hospital, especially some private hospitals is a nurse.

They may bear the term "nurse" or "auxiliary nurses" as you know them

They are not professionals, they are quacks, trained in many cases by the doctors themselves in order to cut cost

This is a wrong and should be shunned against.

Many Nigerians think they are nurses and they usually perform "maid" duties, no professional nurse would do that

Nollywood, on the other hand, has done a lot of harm to the reputation of health practitioners in Nigeria.

At the same time, we need to look inward and ensure that we are not the kind of people that Lasisi is referring to in his videos

We need to do better collectively.
