@mscoolio2006 You're not getting it. If your make up appeals to 9 out of 10 persons with an "untrained" eye, it doesn't matter what that 1 person who is versed in the ways of Make-up-matics think.

I was inducted as a doctor this week. All through the induction, the only thing on my mind was my sister Ewere, who is fighting a recurring aggressive brain tumour, and I can’t even treat her. She urgently needs a 2nd Brain surgery in Seoul, South Korea.

Let me introduce you to Dr Otito

Dr. Otito had only been a surgery registrar at the Federal Medical Centre for three weeks when he had an eye-opening encounter he would never forget just after midnight.

A young teenager was rushed in; he had previously fainted, was pale, restless, and clutching his abdomen.

Classic history was of pain that began around the umbilicus and settled in the right lower abdomen, with one episode of vomiting and high-grade fever.

The house officers started the admission process, but the relatives stood back, murmuring.

When Otito asked about the admission pack- the hospital package containing important fluids, antibiotics, basic items- the father looked down and said, “We will get it, doctor. Just give us small time abeg.”

Small time stretched.

The boy’s temperature rose, and his pulse raced, then it started dropping.

He re-examined, and there was now generalized tenderness plus guarding.

Dr Otito was still new enough to believe the right way to act; he walked confidently to the pharmacy himself and signed for the fluids and antibiotics. “I'll stand in for the patient; I'll make sure they pay before I discharge,” he said.

The pharmacist nodded; in that hospital, everyone understood what those words sometimes meant.

By the next review, the abdomen was rigid. Ruptured appendix.

No delay possible.

Otito sent his house officer to the theatre, returned to pharmacy, and signed for the surgery pack.

In an hour, they had washed out a pelvis full of pus, got rid of the appendix and the boy was stabilised.

Two days later the relatives brought sixty-five thousand naira against a bill already past two hundred and fifty thousand.

They kept saying “We don’t have money, doctor. We are just managing. Economy is hard”.

The next evening the elder brother arrived with five other young men. They unhooked the IV line, dressed the boy, and walked him out of the ward. No one stopped them. Everyone had seen it before.

The following week Otito’s payslip was short. Accounts explained that the unpaid items he had signed for had been deducted from his salary after the relatives absconded.

The shortfall matched almost exactly his daughter’s school fees for the month.

He paid what he could and borrowed the rest from Opay.

After that, Dr. Otito still examined his patients carefully, wrote clear plans, and taught his house officers.

But when relatives said they need time to bring needed items, he no longer walked to the pharmacy.

He documented the discussion, noted that they had been counselled on the urgency, and stepped back.

On later calls he explained once, then waited. If the money appeared, the patient went to theatre promptly.

If it did not, he informed the consultant on call and moved to the next case.

He never learned what became of the teenager. What he did learn, from registrars who had been there longer, was that he was not the first whose signature had been used that way.

He simply stopped being the last person willing to offer it so freely.

To my fellow colleagues, learn from Dr Otito. Healthcare is not a fokking charity.

[Dr. Calafiori 🦇 @fimiletoks]

While I was taking my morning walk today, I saw a mallam selling Pentazocine injections.

This is an opioid, a dangerous drug that should be sold only in a proper pharmacy or hospital with a prescription.

The discussion about it being original or fake is another topic entirely. How did we descend to the point where people hawk opioid injections? States have to step up and create their laws to cover the gaps in NAFDAC.

[Fiyin @fiyinsiku]

Look who got a honorary Fellowship of the West African College of Physicians (FWACP) but doesn't have classmates.

Snr colleagues are the bane of this profession. They can lie in bed with politicians but to lobby the same politicians to improve doctors' welfare? Never. [1/2]

[Adeolu needs to catch a break. @_deoluwaa]

In Keffi, we were admitting two children on a bed and females on male ward.
You could find a woman post-CS on male ward because the female ward was nearly always at capacity.

And then when all the wards are full, they will still admit on examination couch, have less critical patients coming from home for their IV medications pending when there is a vacant bed.

We had less than 40 bed spaces (including maternity) and we saw about 100 out-patients, labour cases, and emergencies per day.

It was either these, or they go back home and die.

You people are very very mad and if you cannot face your government, you are as evil as them.
