Men please don't doing this to your wives!
You had 9 freakn months to prepare!!!!!
Save, borrow, you could even steal and I'd forgive you but please don't let your wife go deliver in someone's house that they termed 'maternity'
This woman that came in yesterday was practically sitting on her child's head and having seizures.....
No ultrasound scan result!
No birth materials!
No baby things!
Please, don't be the weapon fashioned against your child and your wife!
DO THE NEEDFUL!!!!!!
Nurse to nurse: If you see a better paying hospital resign from the old one, no one cares about the loyalty of a Nurse, if table turns they won't do same for you.
I need to tell somebody this because I'm still shaking small.
So yesterday I saw a tweet, just one of those random "check your BP" tweets we see every day and scroll past. I don't even know why I stopped this time. I work in A&E, I check people's BP every shift, but when last did I check mine? I can't even remember.
So I checked it. Just like that, for fun.
And I shouted. Like genuinely shouted out loud. My colleagues rushed to me thinking something don happen, then THEY saw the number and started shouting too. We checked it again. And again. Three times. Same thing every time.
That's when everything started making sense.
The pounding headaches I'd ignored for weeks. The blurry vision that kept coming and going. The sleepless nights. The moments I almost passed out but laughed it off as "stress."
HOW DID I NOT THINK TO CHECK MY OWN BLOOD PRESSURE?
Imagine spending your life checking patients' vital signs while completely forgetting your own.
The doctors immediately swung into action. They requested an urgent brain CT scan to rule out a bleed and started me on antihypertensive medications. Yesterday was one of the scariest days of my life.
Thankfully, this morning my BP has dropped to 140/90 mmHg. It's improving.
Then another painful realization hit me...
My grandfather died from a https://t.co/zxdKcyNhcD dad is hypertensive.Almost all my uncles are hypertensive.
I knew the risk factors.
I teach people about them.
Yet somehow... I convinced myself they could never happen to me.
I thought I was Superman.
To every doctor, nurse, pharmacist, lab scientist and every other health worker reading this:
Please don't neglect yourself while saving everyone else.
Check your blood pressure.Check your blood https://t.co/M63YHxWLIS your PSA if you're due.Check your https://t.co/IarQ0mOvPA that urine test.Stop swallowing symptoms because you're "too busy."
The patient in the next bed could easily become you.
Today, I'm simply grateful to be alive
My respect for pharmacists doubled.
You people do reconstitution, I don’t even know the right term for it.
You need a medication but not just the medication like a compound, and I will just hear the pharmacy will have to make it and send it.
Respect 🫡.
I read novels for entertainment. I’m not trying to memorise anything, and once I put the book down, most of the details fade away.😅
Ask me what happened a day later, and there’s a good chance I won’t remember. But while I’m reading it, I’m completely immersed; that enjoyment is what matters to me.
