So saddened to learn today that #neurosurgery lost (1 week ago) one of its pioneers in #skullbase & #cerebrovascular surgery, #TakanoriFukushima. He was the consummate innovative naturally skilled neurosurgical artist who exuded passion, perfected his craft & inspired legions😥
REDSCROLLER!!
9 years after, I'm proud to reintroduce myself:
F.A.OLABIRAN ESQ LLB, BL(FIRST CLASS HONS). Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria!!

Certifications are like flags; go get them! They showcase and highlight you among your peers and put you in the spotlight. It’s just a matter of time before people and organizations that matter will come looking for you. But in all your getting, remember to add competency and character. Those 3 Cs : Certification, Competency and Character are the quintessential triad that will take you places in your career.
Life is about making Choices and taking Chances so as to see the Changes you desire in your Circumstances.
I am grateful to the @RCSEd for the invitation to be a fellow of this illustrious college, the oldest surgical corporation in the world (established in 1505!). Thank you for recognizing my achievements (Certifications, Competence, Character) and using this as a yardstick of acceptance. I was humbled to be the only one in this category at the ceremony as I know that your criteria for this is very stringent. My time in Scotland has made me proud of this institution.The strong Oak of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, though rooted in the past, has strong branches into a technological savvy and innovative future.
I am grateful to the Almighty, my loving wife @dryemisiadeyeye , my family, friends, teachers, colleagues, clerics, patients and so many others too numerous to mention. They have helped me make the right choices and seize the right chances(&opportunities), in order to make the changes that have propelled me to lofty heights in my career. I need to specifically mention Dr Ali Babata of @UnilorinNGR. He was the first FRCSEd I ever knew. He taught me surgery in Nigeria and has continued to follow my career with keen interest, giving me his journals and Surgical resources from the college over the years. Thank you sir for sowing those seeds of sacrifice. They are definitely bearing fruit. To stand in the hallowed halls of the college and receive my certificate after numerous mind boggling exams, just like you did many decades ago, is a dream come true.
To someone out there, keep getting the necessary certifications. It’s just a matter of time before you too will be celebrated. Some of you know my story. These things are achievable and not far fetched.
Let’s keep inspiring each other ✌️
Grief never goes away, things never get better and you can never block that memory. My nana passed away when I was in JSS2 and it felt like my whole life was on hold. Anytime I hit a significant milestone, I am reminded of her and wish we spent more time together. At times, I feel things would have been better if she were to be alive. She was a wise woman and had a weird love for yam. Part of my grieving process was that I developed hatred for yam cause I was mad at her for leaving us at the time we needed her the most lol. Often times when I look at her picture It feels like she’s suddenly there but maybe it’s my mind playing tricks on me. I’d give anything to see her.
Sun reeeeeeee abiyamo tooto
One of the first lessons I learnt in residency is: 'slow is fast and fast is slow'. When you rush, you often make errors that then, invariably, slow you down. Meticulousness should be a maintained standard. The more we do, the faster we get, but not at the expense of precision.

In the early stage of your career, the type of work you do is actually more about you and your growth. If a place doesn’t give you the space to grow, please look for alternatives 🙏🏽
