Oh... it's not ordinary to graduate with two degrees and to complete internship and become a doctor. It's the kind of stuff people just dream about.

[Mbiti Edwin @Mbi_ti_]

What exactly do you mean celebrate?
Were you a weak student? It's normal to finish training, internship and getting employed, starting something new or finishing something.
It is never extra ordinary to graduate or finish internship. It's not news.
You seemingly are cut from the same piece.

[SAMWEL, MD @samwelarnold]

Naaaah. He can post whichever photo of himself he wants for as long as he wants. He earned those two degrees and he has every right to celebrate it in every way he wants.

[Mbiti Edwin @Mbi_ti_]

By the way, having your graduation gown as profile image after 3 years post graduation reveals alot on your confidence, competence and the urge to be seen as important.
High chance of suffering from imposter syndrome.
Like," is it really true I am a medical doctor?"
You don't feel you are what your documents say.
Chill, you will settle after sometime.

[254 Nurse🇰🇪 @GNM_254]

You're a MD but spewing like a CO😂, put some respect to your two degrees. I'm also hoping you're endeavouring to specialise in something.

[SAMWEL, MD @samwelarnold]

@GNM_254 Guy is farming. I was surprised his account wasn't suspended in the last suspension spree.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

Attendings > 5 years out… what’s there left to do now?

Tried watches, not a car guy, and I hate flying + feel I’ve vacationed enough these days…

Even had a brief phase where I got into landscaping and grilling which was way more expensive than I thought lol.

[SAMWEL, MD @samwelarnold]

True. I was taught how to do VE, Cannulate etc all by nurses. And they teach you with grace and patience.

[Nelson Mogaka @NelsonMogaka_]

Unpopular opinion: nurses run the OBS/GYN department. Doctors are just there to deal with a few emergencies.

@gacikiraMD Bwana nakumbuka my 1st internship ni huko Wajir rurals inaitwa Arbajahan 10yrs ago na maisha yangu ikakuwa tu ni ya kichaka upto date, saa hii niko Baragoi🤣🤣

[Muli MD @Daktari_Muli]

I heard all this growing up, and yet I still became a doctor. It's the most honourable thing I've done to myself, my father and my bloodline. I believed I wouldn't lack a job and I've never lacked.
Aspiring doctors, don't listen to people whose academic potential has a limit. Go get the twin degrees, you will enjoy. In everything you will ever do, being a doctor will always give it an extra dimension.

[SAMWEL, MD @samwelarnold]

Daktari did you offer tumor embolization?

[Dr Gacikira 🕹️ @gacikiraMD]

We offered a patient castration as one of the treatment options for the cancer & he vehemently declined the option.

[Muriaso @muriaso]

Some cos aki.. this is a young adult patient with complaints of tonsilitis and swollen and painful lymph nodes but the wise Co chose to ignore the leukopenia even after ordering for the cbc and instead went to prescribe their favorite brands to treat the symptoms.
Please note the duplication of paracetamol meaning the patient takes 3650mg daily out of 4g recommended. The Montelukast prescribed here is for kids.. anyway, they said COs are better than MOs

[SAMWEL, MD @samwelarnold]

Also won't change the reality that the title 'Dr.' is earned, not given by the court or anybody else..

[Le clinicien Moha @Leclinicienmoha]

Calling people names won’t change the reality that Clinical Officers are an essential part of Kenya’s healthcare system. …
Patients judge competence not online insults…

[Rodgers Abidha. MD. @Rodgers_Abidha]

Hii ni ujinga... its like comparing yourself to your father..

[SAMWEL, MD @samwelarnold]

You just have to go back to school to earn that title. Unfortunately for you, no shortcuts.

[Le clinicien Moha @Leclinicienmoha]

This debate isn’t really about career guidance.

It’s about whether Clinical Medicine should grow as a profession.

I believe it should. Better education specialization and career progression benefit both clinicians and patients.

We push the court to give us the name DR .. soon

@Genesismwanzo1 @MiskellahMD Mr. Genesis, we cannot jeopardize patient safety to suit a certain cadre! In other countries CSs are done by OBGYNs leave alone MOs. I wouldn't be comfortable my wife undergoing a CS being performed by a CO and so many other Kenyans.
