O Allah, cause me to die with the righteous, and donโt leave me to live among the wicked and join me with the people of goodness.
Very dangerous! Gynae emergency from 8am to 4pm, then start my call from 4pm to 8am and then resume G/E from 8am to 4pm AGAIN! 32 hours of non-stop work.
Who even normalized this insanity?
I donโt know how we normalized this, but it isnโt normal to me.
Worked from 8am yesterday to 3am this morning, got 3 hours of sleep, and Iโm expected to run a full clinic till 4pm today.
This profession is dangerous.
Nigeriaโs specialist doctor shortage is genuinely terrifying.
Here are the pproximate numbers in a country of 220M+ people:
Neurosurgeons: 140
Cardiothoracic surgeons (CTSU): Less than 100
Plastic surgeons: 150
Urologists: Less than 100
Orthopaedic surgeons: ~600
Obstetricians & Gynaecologists: ~2,500
Dermatologist: Less than 100
General surgeons: ~800
Radiologists: probably under ~1,000
Cardiologists: only a few hundred
Gastroenterologists: only a few hundred
Rheumatologist: Less than 40
Oncologist: Less than 100
Some states literally donโt have certain specialists at all.
Then people still wonder why waiting lists are insane, referrals are delayed, and doctors burn out or leave the country.
I keep saying it that if half of Nigerian patients start coming to he hospital, the country will blow up.
But for now, let's keep fooling and discussing whether a lady should take her husband name or the one her mother took from her father.
The joy of owning beautiful things, a good knife, a proper linen towel, a jar of excellent honey, one soul encapsulating perfume, over many mediocre things. Doing this slowly across every domain.
