One of the most memorable cases I saw in training was in primary care clinic as a medical student. A young man came in early in the day with nausea and RLQ abdominal pain. Exam was benign but acute appendicitis was clearly in the differential. Lots of docs would turf this to the ER, but his PCP sent him home with instructions to come back at the end of the day. He came back, and the pain had not progressed, so he was sent home to come back again the next morning. The next day, the pain had improved and he now had diarrhea consistent with gastroenteritis.
So, basically, this patient got outpatient serial abdominal exams for a possible acute abdomen. Appendicitis was ruled out with no labs, no CT scan. Just one doc using clinical judgement. Bad ass medicine.
Greedy fools.
Now that we all can buy, ship and repair salvaged cars at cool deals, we for come take license 😂
I hope they saved some of their profits cos hunger go kpai most very soon.
Ghana has no leaders. Not a single one. Right from the very top, to the very bottom. Not a single leader in sight.
The politrickcians are leading the country into a bottomless pit, and they’re laughing all the way to the bank while they do so.
However, the CEO of the region, who flew his wife to the USA to give birth and subsequently shared images of his newborn baby on social media, is still in post.
@Prosper_selorm Precisely.
But i don't blame them. There are very strong factors that are keeping things the way they are.
One thing no one is talking about is how choked Accra is.
There's nothing that will ever attract me to Accra.
A certain report said the ambulance arrived in “3 minutes” and the whole country believed that report😂.
You can call an ambulance in the UK and the waiting time is over 40 minutes but if you talk, Ghanaians won't believe you
The most dangerous doctor isn’t the one who doesn’t know enough. It’s the one who thinks they know everything and stopped learning the day they graduated.
@ReFinD_ISSER Betting that if you do this survey for most homes in Greater Accra, it will yield same results, even higher. It's not MoMo, it's the strain on people. Sika y3 mogya
Exactly!! A lot of them do not even understand the diagnosis to begin with. That is why, as an Internal Medicine resident, coming to morning review and saying “ my dX is acute exacerbation of PUD” when the patient has not had an endoscopy would get you seriously questioned for the rest of the day.
@Kevinxbrume LOL. Funny how that works. One minute everyone is a critic, the next they want the best specialist. I always tell people, support the profession before you need it.
