The most important briefings of the day.
Karl Deisseroth, professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, shares the news of his Nobel Prize with his kids.
I just read for the first time that Tampons can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome.
In short, about 50 percent of patients diagnosed with TSS actually wore tampons, the other 50 percent is distributed between Men, Women who weren't wearing Tampons, and children.
Wear tampons if you'd like, but don't let it stay on for more than 6 hours please.
This conversation is far from over.
It always breaks my heart to realise that patients have to travel a great distance to get something as basic as a CT scan done.
Having a functioning CT scan will go a long way in improving health care delivery in this region.
Piecing together a history and examination and arriving at a diagnosis before any investigation is a superpower.
One we risk losing as we lean harder on investigations.
Investigations are great. They help us rule in or rule out. But they ought to complement clinical reasoning, not replace it.
A good clinician looks at the patient, listens carefully, examines deliberately, and has a working diagnosis before the first test is ordered.
We treat patients, not CT scans.

I hear you, Babygirl, but can I make a case for my Hippocratic brothers?
Here are 10+1 reasons to marry and MBBS XY.
1. Free healthcare for the family, forever. No more Googling symptoms at 2am.
2. He already knows sleep deprivation is temporary. He'll survive your newborn phase better than most men.
3. Nothing shocks him. Blood, vomit, chaos, he's unbothered.
4. He notices when you're not okay before you say a word, so, nonchalance and my bro can't coexist.
5. He's used to high-pressure decisions. Arguments won't rattle him easily. Bring on the drama.
6. He knows life is short. Less excuse-making, more actually living.
7. He'll catch health issues in you and the kids early ,before Google can scare you.
8. He respects hard work, because he's lived it. He'll never underestimate your hustle.
9. Discipline is baked into him. Showing up, even when tired, is second nature.
10. He can hold your hand through the scariest hospital moments, literally.
And extra stuff, he may not be "bank-breakingly" rich, but you won't be poor.....
Somebody give me a witness. 😂
400l? Nah,not worth it.

If plantain is 500, tell me it’s 500, i will pay 1000 and tell you the extra 500 is a tip.
Don’t freaking tell me it’s 1000, that’s how inflation happens, now there’s a poor person who can’t afford that 1000 because i paid 1000 for it
