[Dr. Faith Nabushawo @faith_nabushawo]

Naye mwe, having read the comments bashing Alexandra medical centre both here and on TikTok I felt the need to explain a few things here.

Let’s have a real talk about this whole pressure on Alexandra Medical Centre regarding the late MP Hellen.

A lot of people are shouting for the hospital to drop a full word for word, blow by blow explanation of everything that happened to her. But come on, guys, even when someone passes away, they still deserve their dignity and confidentiality. That doesn’t just disappear the second they’re gone!

Look, medical ethics are very clear on this. Patient confidentiality is a BIG deal in healthcare, it’s basically the foundation of the whole profession. It’s in the Hippocratic Oath, the professional codes, and even the law.

Doctors and hospitals are not allowed to just share your personal health details with anyone. This protection stays even after death, to protect the person’s dignity and give the family space to grieve in private.

Only the immediate family or next of kin can get the full report, and it’s totally up to them if, when, or how they decide to share it. Not the public, not the media, not social media demanding answers.

Let’s look at it this way, even when Hellen was still alive, she didn’t go into details with anyone! She only told the LOP Ssenyonyi that she was going for surgery, she never mentioned what condition it was or what kind of surgery. No one has come out from her close people to detail what she told them. For some she only told them she had been having some stomach pains according to what I’ve heard from what is going on. No one, absolutely no one got a detailed explanation of what she was dealing with.

So now we’re expecting the hospital to suddenly put everything out there for us? Nah, that’s not fair. Doctors can’t just switch off their ethical mode and start spilling patient info to satisfy public curiosity. That would break the same rules that protect all of us when we’re sick.

The hospital won’t break the confidentiality. That’s just wrong. Let’s respect the same medical ethics that keep every one of us safe whether we’re alive or not. The family will share what they want, when they want. Simple as that. Let’s be kind about this ❤️

This is close to the look I got from the American simulation trainer for difficult airway, when I told him we do not routinely have video laryngoscopy in Ugandan hospitals 😆.
Video laryngoscopy will soon be standard of care everywhere.

[Jonathan Kaj… @JonathanKajjimu]

I guess internship, especially in a reputable center like @NsambyaHospital with great senior clinicians, offers the best opportunity to truly learn and gain a deep appreciation for medicine.

Now, more than ever, many aspects of this field are making profound sense to me.

Medics are humans too and take breaks, rest and have the capacity to get annoyed. Honestly do not come to hospital shouting and expect a good welcome from the staff. Most times, everyone is trying their best. Nobody wakes up to come and mismanage patients.

Always exercise patience and respect.

We 💙 giving tools to amazing surgical teams.

No member of a surgical care team should have to work without the equipment they need to deliver world class care. 🙌

🤔 Do you agree?

Government needs to come out and address the issue of pizza sizes because some of these restaurants are just being disrespectful.
