A Kenyan court has just delivered a landmark ruling in a medical negligence case that dragged on for almost two decades.
Naila Qureshi sued Dr Raffique Parker and two others over a hysterectomy procedure done back in 2006.
She says the doctor removed her cervix without her consent, and botched the operation so badly that it caused a vesico vaginal fistula.
The damage cost her her job and her ability to earn a living.
Her husband also joined the suit, citing loss of conjugal life and years of suffering.
Justice Alexander Muasya Muteti found the 1st and 3rd defendants grossly negligent.
The hospital was faulted too, for letting a doctor who had been disbarred in Uganda practice on Kenyan patients.
In the end, the court awarded the family a staggering Kshs 157,207,524.20 in damages.
It is one of the biggest medical negligence payouts ever ordered by a Kenyan court.

🚨WOW: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just REJECTED his own pay raise to $305,800 approved by lawmakers.
MAMDANI: “I haven’t knocked on anyone’s door in NYC that said their concern is that the Mayor makes too little. It should go to the pockets of those struggling in this city.”
🎥 “Who else is leading a cause that we will glorify in retrospect, but is being vilified in the present?”
Speaking at the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s Global Leadership Forum, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew a direct line from Mandela’s refusal to abandon the Palestinian cause to the fight for global solidarity and Palestinian freedom today.
Recalling how Mandela was branded a terrorist and pressured to renounce his principles, Mamdani asked: “Who are we treating today the way Madiba was treated before history declared him a messiah?”
Citing Omar El Akkad’s book on the genocide in Gaza, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” Mamdani said “justice is not measured by where we stand after history has issued its verdict. It is measured by where we stand when the verdict is still being rendered.”
“Why must Doctor Hussam Abu Safiya wait more than 18 months for freedom in Israeli detention,” he asked, “after the world watched him be kidnapped as he left his hospital?”
“Why must we wait to practice solidarity until it no longer costs us anything?”

If you're dating a 10, STAY QUIET.
If you're learning a skill, STAY QUIET.
If you're hitting the gym, STAY QUIET.
If you're building a business, STAY QUIET.
KEEP YOUR PERSONAL LIFE PRIVATE.
Talk is cheap. Let your results do the talking
Allah made it so you can say 'La ilaha illallah' without moving your lips.
It allows you to silently remember God anywhere, at work, while commuting, or in public - without anyone noticing.
This is an immense mercy. When a person is nearing the end of their life and may lack the physical energy to move their jaw or lips, they can still declare, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah."
the best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. go outside, try new cafes, museums, events, take a new route home, speak to people, ask questions, side quest. the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
🚨 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: FIFA has appointed Slavko Vinčić to officiate the World Cup final despite a disastrous season in Europe.
He is the same referee who allowed Germany’s offside goal against Portugal in the Nations League semifinal, even after VAR flagged it.
He was also arrested at a sex party six years ago where cocaine and firearms were reportedly found.
FIFA is trolling the entire world at this point. 😂
