@officialEFCC Such atrocious behaviour of the #EFCC at #UUTH. Shame on all of you who carried out the operation. What happened to the Judge issuing the CMD a subpoena? My heart broke💔reading the news, especially knowing Prof. Eyo Ekpe, a kind, humble, senior colleague and role model #EndEFCC

@aproko_doctor @officialEFCC @Fmohnigeria @nighealthwatch Thank you for amplifying the atrocious behaviour of the #EFCC at #UUTH yesterday. My heart broke 💔 reading the news, especially as I know Prof. Eyo Ekpe, a kind, humble, fervent teacher, senior colleague and role model. Something must give! Doctors & health workers lives matter!

What happened at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital yesterday is a national disgrace and must not be treated lightly!

Calling on @officialEFCC to promote lawful conduct; to publicly call the officers involved in the act to order, @Fmohnigeria @nighealthwatch to protect our healthcare system, and the presidency @NGRPresident and @NGRSenate to look into this, so this doesn’t happen to any healthcare worker again.

@UN @WHO @WHONigeria @UNICEF_Nigeria

Justice must prevail. Say NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. Enough is Enough.

That time when the Jackson 5 reunited to perform "Can You Feel It" on stage. Just look at how proud Katherine Jackson was, watching her sons performing together again. Michael Jackson was so awesome.

@KelloggCompany I think you need to revisit these claims you place on your packaging as per number of servings. Your claim of ×8 for Clusters is very far off! My son eats one pack ×2! Same with your claim of ×15 for Crunchies! Even a Munchkin wouldn't eat that many x from 1 pack!

@tomifalore I love your audacity! The Universe and life in general favours those who are bold and brave! Kudos to you and thanks for sharing to motivate others 👍🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This! Made me remember my WHY when I picked medicine and surgery as the course to study at University, to the amazement of my parents who were both teachers of languages (English and French). Till date, and despite all the hubris that we meet from our patients, I love being a Dr!

[Afshine Emrani MD FACC @afshineemrani]

In medical school, we are taught a golden rule: "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." It is a reminder to look for the common explanation before the exotic one. But after decades in cardiology, I’ve learned that if a patient is still suffering after the "horses" have been ruled out, a doctor must have the courage—and the curiosity—to go hunting for the zebra.

Sarah was a thirty-four-year-old marathon runner and a devoted mother who came to me after six months of being told she was "fine." She had been bounced from one specialist to another, each one pointing to her normal EKG and standard blood tests as proof that her crushing fatigue and racing heart were simply the result of "new mom stress." By the time she reached my office, she didn't just look tired; she looked invisible, as if the medical system had stopped seeing the woman and only saw the data.

Instead of re-reading the normal test results that had already failed her, I asked Sarah to walk me through her life. We talked about her training and her family, eventually landing on a backpacking trip she took to the Mendoza province of rural Argentina. She described staying in a charming, rustic cottage made of sun-dried mud bricks. She mentioned waking up one morning with a strangely swollen, purple eyelid that she assumed was a simple spider bite.

As she spoke, a memory surfaced from a biography I had read years ago about Charles Darwin. Most people know Darwin for his theories on evolution, but medical historians have long puzzled over the mysterious, debilitating illness that plagued him for decades after he returned from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Darwin had written in his journals about being bitten by the "great black bug of the Pampas" while sleeping in mud-walled huts in South America. He spent the rest of his life suffering from heart palpitations and exhaustion that the Victorian doctors of his time could never explain.

I realized then that Sarah wasn't suffering from stress; she was likely hosting the same "silent killer" that may have haunted Darwin: Chagas Disease.

The "Kissing Bug" lives in the cracks of those mud-brick walls. It bites its victims—often near the eyes or mouth—while they sleep, passing a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi into the blood. The danger of Chagas is that the initial symptoms disappear quickly, but the parasite can hide in the body for years, slowly weaving itself into the muscle and electrical "wiring" of the heart.

To confirm this, I moved beyond the standard tests. I ordered a specialized "Strain Rate" ultrasound, which doesn't just look at whether the heart is pumping, but at how the individual muscle fibers are stretching. We saw that while her heart looked strong to the naked eye, the fibers were "stuttering," a sign of early parasite-induced scarring. A specific blood test for the parasite's antibodies confirmed the diagnosis.

Treatment required a difficult, sixty-day course of anti-parasitic medication to stop the infection, paired with a protective heart regimen to keep her electrical system stable while the inflammation settled. Because we caught it before her heart was physically damaged or enlarged, the recovery was a success.

Months later, Sarah returned to my office, her vibrant energy restored. She brought me a leather-bound copy of The Voyage of the Beagle with a note tucked inside. She wrote that while other doctors had looked at her charts, I had looked at her. This case remains a vital reminder for my memoir: in a world of high-tech scans and AI, the most sophisticated diagnostic tool we possess is still the human story. When we truly listen, we don't just find the disease—we find the patient.

Good morning.

@Abkr_Maikudi @scottbolshevik You are on your own! The @scottbolshevik account is even a fake one run by a Ghanaian! Collect the sub at your own risk! https://t.co/h44wkcHND0

[Eno Usoroh MD @Ekybabe]

@drifeleah Thanks, amen 🙏🏽

[Eno Usoroh MD @Ekybabe]

@PhumzaHer @scottbolshevik Lol! Okay, keep talking ad nauseum. He's posted his story and moved on. When y'all are tired of talking, I guess you would also all move on!

[Eno Usoroh MD @Ekybabe]

@PhumzaHer @scottbolshevik I guess you both missed the memo that advices to say nothing, if one has nothing positive to contribute. Even on social media, jump and pass is a good skill to have.

[Eno Usoroh MD @Ekybabe]

@PhumzaHer @scottbolshevik And I find it weird that people need to have an opinion about other's personal stuff that in no way should matter to them. How does his post affect the price of chicken in your neighborhood store? 🙄

[Eno Usoroh MD @Ekybabe]

@miga_gbemi1 @scottbolshevik Because he referenced ONE Nigerian's post, his comment is the gospel truth? What algorithm did he use to make his deduction? What database? Which social media platform? Or because he has the fake X account of a white man he's right? It's rude to ask me if I can read. Can you?
