URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.
Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.
Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay.
According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.
They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.
Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,
I don’t know these doctors personally,
But we can’t watch evil and say nothing.
Please don’t let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival,
It will only take you 2seconds,
Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.
Pls share and retweet. Thank you.
COLISTIN
Guys you see COLISTIN !!!
In the game of antibiotics if Meropenem is a big gun, Colistin is a nuclear weapon.
Just like a nuclear weapon, Colistin is capable of damaging a lot in the present and in the future. Anything that scared Meropenem away can be taken care of by Colistin. From MRSA, multi-drug resistant gram negative germs of pseudomonas aeroginosa to Klebsiella and E-coli.
Who is qualified for this med?
A person who's feeling like he wants to die and can die if nothing is done.
Unlike Meropenem that's almost safe for the kidneys, Colistin has a 60% chance of destroying your kidneys. It is too strong.
Once you take it, your ears will be ringing like it's break time but you won't be able to go for break because your muscles will be weak and when you send someone to get you food, your throat will be painful enough for you to stop eating. Then you'll be confused and you'll start shaking.
It was so dangerous that it's use was abandoned for years but it has been invoked once more because we need him now more than ever before due to multi-drug resistance.
It truly acts like a nuclear weapon because it doesn't restrict itself only on the damage of the cell membrane but enters and starts attacking cellular organelles like the ribosomes.
Fun fact: UpTo 80% of the drug is recovered in urine unchanged respite it's duration of action being 5 hours.
Doxycycline
This med is exactly who it is.
It is a Vagabond and acts like a bastard who wants to succeed in life at all costs.
Originally an antibiotic but the nigga has no limits.
Takes care of Malaria, Acne, Anthrax, dental infections, ocular infections, Urinary tract infections, some sexually transmitted infections.
The challenge now is that it should be taken with caution if pregnant and can cause discoloration of your teeth, nails, gums.
And lastly it shouldn't be combined with certain medication types containing metals like aluminum, magnesium, iron and calcium.
I'll be blunt with you, but this is a shallow mindset, and it says a lot about how you think about writing as a culture.
Yes, I believe you can’t pour from an empty cup. You have to read to write better.
But who sets the standard for what “reading enough” even means?
And what makes you think that people aren’t reading “enough”?
Substack is not a platform that requires some kind of qualification. It's not like Medium, where you write for visibility.
Substack is an intimate platform. It's an app of connection.
So when people write on Substack, they’re not always trying to perform or impress. They’re sharing thoughts, ideas, experiences… sometimes even things they’re still figuring out.
And that’s valid.
I know this because I’ve actually read a lot of Substack pieces.
I also have a community where I read people’s work privately, both on Substack and Medium.
And I can tell you this: I’ve been exposed to thoughtful, intentional, and provoking pieces on Substack.
These are people who are not just writing for virality, but for meaning.
And yes, I believe in critiquing. I believe writing should be challenged and refined.
But dismissing people’s writing because you assume they “don’t read enough” feels shallow.
Because good writing is not only about how much you’ve read… it’s also about how honestly you think and how clearly you express it.
MONA is a useless mnemonic for MI management.
Morphine and O2 are NOT given to every patient, yet many MBBS students still start with these when asked.
Clopidogrel, anticoagulants, and statins, used routinely but are missing.
Mnemonics should reflect real clinical practice.
The concept of owing house officer 3 months salary is flawed and should be looked into, a lot of these people no longer get funds from their parents anymore..! 3 months is too much
I just finished watching this and I have one thing to say.
How the hell someone even compete with this man? He's always pushing the limits, first it was editing and now its storytelling.
What a brilliant way to review a phone, covering each and every aspect in such detail without making it about the spec sheet.
For me this is now the benchmark of how a smartphone should be reviewed.
@Mrwhosetheboss 🐐
I had this conversation with a friend and she probably was surprised to hear my perspective
I personally love patients that look things up and I'll always ask per time, what did you read, tell me what you think
It's a good ground to direct patients to the right knowledge of their condition and I consider good education helps patient care psychologically and adhering to treatment plan
