Keep abusing your spine.
In a few years, when you develop a ruptured disk and fracture your spine in multiple places, I'll be waiting for you in the spine clinic.
Till then, enjoy.

Too many of you are jobless that's why you're debating endoscopy with non MD's and getting into fights about "ulcers". 😭

Endoscopic view of a patient with longstanding heartburn. What’s the diagnosis?

[Dr Francis Adama 🇳🇬(MBBS) @mrpossible112]

Nigerian allied HCW (pharmacist, med lab scientist, etc) said we don't need endoscopy

That H-pylori testing is enough and patient will do good on PPI

They said Nigeria doctors don't know anything

Jokers!

That's how they'll be asking ''how many patients have you seen with this''. When I first heard about Plasil causing dystonic reaction, I was shocked cause it's a common drug.

I'm very sure everyone was even doubting it happened. Till one allied HCW ran with their child to ChER, child was having a dystonic reaction and the woman almost fainted.

You needed to see how she was panting and begging us to help. Before leaving, she swore never to self-medicate her kids with Plasil again.

Keep thinking these things don't happen.

“Doctors are the worst patients,” they say.
I don’t know whether we are the worst patients, but we are definitely not the smartest ones.
A senior and respected doctor from a nearby town had central chest pain about 5 days ago. He dismissed it as “gastritis ” and continued running his busy OPD.
The next day, he developed chest pain again while working out in the gym, but ignored it thinking it was due to lifting weights.
The pain continued over the next few days, and by the 4th day he was unable to operate.
That evening he finally came to us.
His ECG showed an evolved anterior wall MI ,( a major heart attack). Echo showed an LV EF of just 35%. He had already developed Q waves.
Since he still had ongoing chest pain, we took him up for coronary angiogram , which showed a subtotal occlusion of the LAD ,( “widow maker.”)

He underwent successful angioplasty and went home

But this part hit me hard
As his wife , (herself a doctor) was taking him to the ER, patients waiting outside started arguing with her because he was leaving without finishing the OPD.
She literally had to plead with them, saying:
“He is probably having a heart attack… he will see you if he comes back alive.”
And the last thing this poor doctor asked me before discharge was:
“Can I restart OPD in 3–4 days?” 🤦
I’m sure this is the story of many of us in medicine.
We ignore our health and behave as though we are indispensable.
Many cardiologists have succumbed ignoring chest pain. I m sure colleagues on #MedTwitter and #CardioTwitter would have similar experiences !

To the younger doctors on #MedTwitter:
Take things slowly. Play your career like Test cricket, not T20.
Enjoy the little moments of life.
Watch the sunset.
Breathe mountain air.
Cry with your friends.
Read good fiction.
Climb a rock.
Fall in love.
Health and peace first.
Everything else comes next. ✌️

@Tobi_olafeso URTI ke??....It's "tyfodd" until proven otherwise

[CTSU 🫀 @CTSU___]

An average Nigerian hates a doctor, which is why when seeing any patient, they should pay for your services. Who can’t afford your services should seek healthcare somewhere else, simple.

An outbreak of One of the deadliest virus in recorded history has been noted on a Cruise ship from Argentina.

Many Countries have refused to allow the ship to dock because of the fear of spreading the virus and unleashing a pandemic.

The CDC and WHO are monitoring the Situation close and the entire World is on High Alert.

Guess what we are discussing in Nigeria? 🙄🙄🙄
