Plastic Surgeon X Surgical Authority and Educator X ReBuilding Human Bodies and Other Stuff

[PROFESSOR @SIGMAPROFESSOR]

Nobody works harder than a lazy, ambitious guy. He wants to finish as fast as possible so he can get back to his natural state of doing absolutely nothing.

@gacikiraMD Where are the guidelines? I want to see something

[Kim MD, Plastic Surgery, MPH. @KimMD_Surgery]

@OchiiOgango @Dr_AustinOmondi Interesting dynamic. Here is another question to ponder on and give you comfort that the hospital runs the morgue out of necessity.

Does the hospital make more money when the patient is alive or dead? Should it strive to keep the alive or not?

What about the doctor?

Butter and similar substances - same mechanism as oil. Traps heat, no clinical benefit, higher infection risk.

There's a set of "remedies" for burns that show up again and again in patients I treat - passed down as common sense or culture but without scientific backing. Lets tackle each one of them and what it does to the burn wound. #BurnCare #HealthEducation #Kenya #MedEd

Ice or ice-cold water - overcorrection in the other direction. Can cause additional tissue damage through extreme cold exposure.

@seniorpath40647 Phlebotomy wa ward yetu KNH sijawahimuona🤣🤣. Residents will just step up and cover the deficit. Ile siku healthcare itakua streamlined kuna watu watakua exposed

@matters_country @gacikiraMD Kenya’s healthcare system is below par. Dont use it as standard. I did many surgeries as an MO but being a surgeon is a whole ball game that you can only understand from this other side. It’s unfair for a patient to get subpar care when standard of care is available!

So you realize that this is not just plastic surgery, the procedures span multiple surgical disciplines including Plastic surgery, ENT, Urology, Maxillofacial and even Endocrinologists, Gynecologists and Geneticists.

GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERY IN KENYA - A THREAD
I Sat in on a lecture on gender-affirming surgery this week. This is new area/era for us here in Kenya and hence this thread.

Fine Touches - Procedures like liposuction to get that body of either male or female and even voice surgery to change the pitch.
