So, â Doctor died due to Lassa Fever, not just a doctor guys, but a Senior Registrar in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bingham University Teaching Hospital in Jos, apparently, she contracted it from her patient ând when she was laid to rest and the video was posted on x and one nurse commented “Rest well, Ma, I will never go extra for my patients, I will only do my work diligently and that’s all” you all, a lot of people dragged her like t!ger generator set but thank God all medics stood by her, you need to see us defending her, Nurses, Doctors, Pharmacists, Medical Radiographers, Drs of physiotherapy, Medical Lab Scientists, etc.
What âre you dragging her for, you should drag the government, â Dr died of a virus due to systemic failure and poor working conditions ând you want other medical professionals to be happy?
Someone even said “After all, Doctors and nurses signed death warrant” how convenient! you and who?
Everyone began sharing their stories, see, you need to be alive and healthy in order to care for your patients better.
I even dropped a tweet and I said “If there’s no PPE ând other equipments necessary ând needed to save my patients ând in order to protect my patient and myself, I will never perform such procedure, I will do my best and that’s all âs long as I ⬇️⬇️⬇️
1. Do good
2. Do no harm &
3. Prevent harm
Someone even stated how a patient she helped to procure some meds for her from the nurses station ended up accusing her of stealing from her only because she tried to replace it back, another said a patient he was so good to and was rooting for absconded during his shift ând it was in a private hospital, guess whose salary was tampered with? The Nurses
Now, let’s actually talk âbout what nurses go through because they are trying to be patient advocate with my own experience. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
I once borrow dressing pack from â pt on bed 3 for pt on bed 20. I specifically told this patient relative to kindly return it soon.
I didn’t follow up because I trusted them ând didn’t think otherwise, patient was later discharged during my off, I didn’t bother asking because I thought I passed the information well enough >>>>>>>
Few days later the patient on bed 3 wasn’t pleased with me because his dressing pack wasn’t returned and the wife (pt relative) insisted I must päy for it/return it.
So, the patient I borrowed something for ând promised to return it, broke my trust because I choose to be a patient advocate.
You all, guess what? I did, While dealing with some patients, always be 100 steps ahead.
By the way, we also promised to take care of ourselves while caring for our patients in our oath taking because you can’t simply give what you don’t have.
Okay bye ✌🏻.
Remember, do not d!e before your patient, have a good day.
Nurse Wendy.
Tonight at a shopping mall , I watched a 5 year old boy ask a little girl if he could hug her because he liked her sweater. She said, "No.” He smiled, "Okay! I like your sweater. Bye!" and ran back to his dad. To his dad, he proudly said: "I didn't hug her because she said no... but I told her I liked her sweater!" His dad replied, “Cool, buddy!" ...and they went on shopping.
If a 5-year-old boy can understand consent and respect a "No," then so can every adult
“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”
The message came in at 11 PM:
“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”
Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.
New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”
She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.
Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.
I stopped the interview and said:
“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
We hired her.
She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.
Why?
Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.
Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.
Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.
If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.
You’re filtering for privilege.
These terrorist attacks concerns all of us!! Please don’t think it doesn’t affect you. Whether it happens in the North, South, East or West, it affects all of us!!!
We cannot keep quiet while Nigerians are being slaughtered in different parts of the Country! This is madness!!!
Nigeria is turning into a crime scene. Bandits storm churches to kill and abduct Christians. Children are kidnapped from schools. A Brigadier General is shot dead. Every day brings fresh chaos yet the government remains silent.
How did we get here? And must outsiders come to fix what our leaders refuse to confront?
Which way Nigeria? We need safety, accountability and real action, not silence.
Enough said! Doctors working hours should be regulated. You can’t trust the judgment of an overworked doctor. Even the most skilled doctors can miss what’s right in front of them when exhaustion sets in.
No doctor should have to fight for their life because they were saving others.
Behind every overworked resident is a human being breaking under the weight of a system that refuses to care for its caregivers.
This is not just burnout; it’s neglect. And it must end.
The clock is ticking..
In all of this, one thing is certain, the Nigerian healthcare system is too overwhelmed, understaffed and overworked to allow health misinformation in any form.
I really don’t know how to put this but I’ll try. I’ve seen statements like “make doctors feel am small” deep sigh.
Doctors are not the cause of our problem. Let me rephrase the medical elders that are part of the problem are not feeling shit!
It’s the house
Turns out Medical Elders are even more mean than Nursing Elders..
It's just day 1 of Nurses strike... and they're already deploying House officers to function as Nurses in the wards..
This country <<<<<<<
Once you’ve betrayed your partner’s trust. You don’t get to dictate to them how long it’ll take for them to get over their hurt, your job is to focus on earning back their trust and be humble throughout the process. You aren’t entitled to anybody’s forgiveness. Be patient and wait for them to forgive you on their own time.
For all the times I woke you up by 2am to make noodles when I was pregnant
For sitting down by my bedside every single night for 3 months till our baby came
For always leaving the bigger meat in the pot for me
For waking up and saying “Ochanya what do you want for breakfast”
For all the times you say “ babe carry my phone and order anything you want”
For always saying “Adesewa, God showed me mercy and gave you to me”
For always heading out in the snow to hustle for us
For always looking at me like I am miss world even with my early morning face and rough hair
For being the first to always apologize
For being the best Father our son could ask
For being my biggest fan and support system
You’ve shown my what love is
You’ve shown me what real strength is
Thank you for making me a happy woman
Till Jesus comes Ade mi
I hope that we will be neighbours even in heaven
Happy birthday Ayo mi.
Marrying a full housewife is sweet and the dream of some women. But please, don't move towards Doctors or career women generally and start preaching a full house wife or suggesting they open provision shop. You must find and meet your type please 🙏.
