From A NIGERIAN DOCTOR IN THE UK.
So,we had the first malaria case yesterday in my hospital in 30 years.Baba just returned from 9ja and had all the symptoms of malaria. They had to transport IV Artesunate from Liverpool with Liverpool with ambulance to us midnight. Apparently,no consultant knows how to treat malaria. They went to examine the patient all dressed like astronauts, like they were going to the moon even though they ruled out VHF from the blood tests. The three 9ja doctors on shift including myself became demigods yesterday. Na so we just dey move stuffs about malaria. Stuff wey no even correct. Them still dey clap for us😂. They kept saying the patient may have cardiac arrest. We told them to chill say malaria na our guy and we go run am. No nurse could constitute and administer IV Artesunate as they have never seen IV Artesunate antimalarial before. I gave Baba one shut stat. This morning, Baba say he wan go house and my consultant said it's the most miraculous recovery he has ever seen in his medical practice.
Malaria fa. Our own guy. We know malaria and malaria know https://t.co/OCNZEMqIRC our guy 😂.

The biggest lie in medicine:
"Just eat healthy and exercise."
As if poverty, genetics, stress, and broken healthcare systems don't exist.
Health is not just personal discipline. It's structural. 🌍
Why do we yawn when we see others yawn?
Scientists call it contagious yawning — linked to empathy and mirror neurons.
The more empathetic you are, the more susceptible you are to it.
So if you just yawned reading this — you're probably a good person. 😂🧠
The way I read drug labels now after path and pharm ehn
normal person: "take 2 tablets twice daily"
me: checking the excipients, mechanism, half life, and contraindications before I swallow anything
this degree shaaa
Nobody told me medical school would make me afraid of my own body.
Learn about deep vein thrombosis and suddenly every leg pain is a clot.
Learn about brain tumours and every headache is suspicious. LOL, Knowledge Shaaa
Stress is not "just in your head."
It raises cortisol. Cortisol raises blood pressure, suppresses immunity, disrupts sleep, and accelerates ageing.
Your mental state is a physical event. Take it seriously.💯✨
