@Fatime_Mahamad Another factor is where you practise. In Nigeria and much of Sub-Saharan Africa, patients often present late, struggle to afford treatment, or don't adhere because of financial and cultural barriers. The same stage disease can have very different outcomes than in the US.
@Fatime_Mahamad In oncology, happiness may be a patient with agonizing spinal metastases walking pain-free after palliative radiotherapy, or a bleeding, fungating tumour shrinking until it's barely noticeable. And curing many Stage I & II cancers? That's one of the greatest joys in medicine.
@realbig_shak Honestly I have also managed uncountable number of culture positive uncomplicated fever.
So it always baffles me when clinicians post the "when you see real typhoid ..." line.
Unarguably typhoid is over diagnosed but that doesn't make it very rare.
Mathematics drives planning, modelling, and precision.
When these sciences are combined, tumours shrink, symptoms improve, and lives change.
That’s what makes oncology practice deeply satisfying and why I’m proud to be here.
What I deeply love about Radiation & Clinical Oncology is how completely it brings the core sciences to life.
Physics determines dose, geometry, and safety.
Biology explains tumour behaviour and radiosensitivity.
Chemistry underpins chemotherapy and radiobiology.
So this is leadership now,convoys and car keys. Even more disturbing is a medical doctor interested in politics cheering it on. If flashing wealth is the benchmark for governance, then we should stop pretending we want accountability or progress. No wonder the country is stuck.
@nsikool Buhari’s personal integrity is commendable-he didn’t loot,lived simply & returned to Daura quietly. But leadership isn’t judged by personal piety alone.Under his watch,insecurity worsened,the economy crumbled & hope faded. History will see him as an honest man,but a failed leader
Once admired for his discipline & integrity, his second coming brought crushing hardship.The economy faltered. Insecurity deepened. Hope dimmed.
Even after he left office,the wounds remained.
Rest in peace,Muhammadu Buhari.May history judge honestly and may Nigeria find healing.

Buhari: The Man We Loved, Then Loathed.
If he had never come back, the love Nigerians had for him would’ve followed him to the grave.
But he returned — and ruled.
And that love turned into pain, hunger, and bitter disappointment.
and cultures, each with their unique stories and experiences. The beautiful people I met in this phase of my life taught me valuable lessons about empathy, love, and acceptance.They have left an eternal imprint on my life, and for that, I am eternally thankful.
In this remarkable phase of my life, I had the privilege of encountering some of the most incredible individuals who left an indelible mark on my heart. Their kindness, compassion, and generosity inspired me to be a better version of myself. I met people from diverse backgrounds
