@Aprokomidwife Nah, it was the easiest procedure we did in midwifery (i and my colleagues). Maybe it's because we did midwifery as a basic course sha

Imagine looking down at your leg and seeing your muscles constantly rippling, pulsing, and shifting under your skin like a bag of moving worms.
​You’re completely relaxed, but your flesh is throwing a 24/7 rave. Welcome to Isaacs’ Syndrome. 🧵👇

Even under deep general anaesthesia, the muscles still won't stop rippling because the hyperexcitability is locked into the peripheral nerve path.
Your body relies just as much on its 'brakes' as it does on its accelerator. When the biological brakes fail, the engine just keeps

@nr_davidolise another nurse will accept it. It's what it is. Nigeria has a lot of nurses, and they are underemploying them. Later, they'll complain of brain drain, like why won't there be brain drain when you're not making use of them but still complain of shortage of nurses

[G2 NM @Gentle_Stn]

@nr_davidolise Then, when outsiders hear a qualified nurse is unemployed, they'll assume it is their fault because in their minds, the job is lucrative, and it's "hot cake" not knowing that the market is too saturated and people don't value it anymore if you reject an offer from an institution

If you're not beautiful or handsome, rich or wealthy, don't look in the mirror and lie to yourself to "boost your self-esteem." That's not positivity. That's delusion.
If you can't own it, you can't have it.

The mirror isn't the enemy but lying to yourself is

[G2 NM @Gentle_Stn]

There's a thin line between having self-esteem and being delusional.
Using your imaginary self or what you wish you could be to qualify your current self is not self-esteem, and it's not optimism either, it's delusion. Wake up to your reality, own it, walk, and work on it.

@official_Gegeh Not necessarily inspiration because sometimes it's necessary when you have blue balls always, which the pain could be excruciating and at the same time you wanna maintain your virginity

Instead, the system treats this trauma as a "norm" for healthcare workers, while people outside the system crave an emotional presence that literally expires during service to save humanity.

[G2 NM @Gentle_Stn]

People do talk about lack of empathy in the health-care system, which is not an inbred attribute, It’s the result of what you experience daily. When you witness crisis constantly, your brain unconsciously numbs itself just to keep you functional

There’s a reason military personnel at the forefront of war are given decompression and rehabilitation. The exact same support should be provided for healthcare workers dealing with emergency care, chronically ill individuals, and high-stress environments.

therapy is entirely in the dosage.

Imagine an entire town suddenly losing their minds—hallucinating, screaming, and claiming their limbs are being burned by invisible fire. 🔥🌾
​In the Middle Ages, they blamed witchcraft. Today, we blame a bad loaf of rye bread. Let’s talk about Ergotism. 🧵👇

what fascinates me is the pharmacology. 🩺🏥
​We actually use modified ergot alkaloids in modern medicine today (like Ergotamine for severe migraines) because of that exact vasoconstrictive power. The difference between a medieval plague and a modern
