God’s child. Unstoppable

[The Koshur Doc @TheKoshurDoc]

Dr. Michael DeBakey and his protege Dr. Denton Cooley once formed the world’s most elite heart surgery team at Baylor.

On April 4, 1969, Cooley implanted the first Total Artificial Heart (TAH) without DeBakey’s permission.

DeBakey claimed Cooley "stole" the device from his research lab while DeBakey was out of town.

Cooley argued it was a desperate "bridge to transplant" to save a dying patient; DeBakey called it a "childish" bid for glory.

The move triggered a federal investigation and an immediate, irreparable split in their professional relationship.

Cooley left Baylor to build the Texas Heart Institute (THI), creating two rival surgical empires on the same Houston block.

Despite working doors away from each other, the two legends didn't speak for nearly four decades.

In 2007, a 99-year-old DeBakey and an 87-year-old Cooley finally shook hands and reconciled just before DeBakey’s death.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) remitted a total of N1.804 trillion to the Federation Account in February 2026.

This is according to its latest Monthly Report Summary.

The figure represents a sharp increase from the N726 billion recorded in January, reflecting improved revenue performance and stricter remittance practices.

The new Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine (11th Ed) officially recognizes Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh. 🇳🇬

She is the hero who stood her ground against Ebola to save a nation of 200 million.

Seeing her name in these pages is a win for every Nigerian health worker.

A PASSIONATE CALL TO ALL NIGERIANS TO STAND WITH NARD

Fellow Nigerians!

Warm greetings from the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

We wish to address you at this critical time as we embark on a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike, a decision that did not come lightly, nor was it ever our desire. We are fully aware of the pains and inconveniences that accompany any disruption in healthcare services, and we deeply regret the situation.

However, this action has become inevitable, following the repeated failure of the Federal Government of Nigeria to honor its promises and implement the agreements reached with us after several rounds of dialogue, appeals, and ultimata.

Our demands are not selfish, neither are they politically motivated. They are genuine, germane, and patriotic, centered on the survival of the Nigerian health system and the well-being of every citizen who depends on it.

We fight not for personal gain, but for the creation of a system that allows doctors to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to patients in an environment that supports their mental and physical well-being. A resident doctor who is overworked, underpaid, and mentally exhausted cannot offer optimal care to the patient who needs them most.

Our demands include issues of excessive workload, fair remuneration, payment of arrears, improvement of working conditions, adequate staffing, and the provision of essential medical infrastructure, all of which directly impact the quality of healthcare delivered to Nigerians.

A nation’s health system can only be as strong as the hands that sustain it. If the doctors are broken, under-motivated, or forced to seek survival abroad, the patients suffer most. This is why we have taken this painful stand to secure the future of Nigerian healthcare for every man, woman, and child who deserves quality care here at home.

We therefore call on all Nigerians; our patients, civil society groups, labour unions, religious and traditional leaders, and every citizen of conscience, to stand with us. Add your voices to ours in appealing to the Federal Government to do the right thing.

This is not a fight between resident doctors and government; it is a struggle for a functional, just, and humane healthcare system, one where your doctor can attend to you with a clear mind, a motivated spirit, and access to the tools needed to save lives.

Together, we can rebuild a system that values both the caregiver and the cared-for. We appeal to you to weigh in and urge the Government to address our demands urgently, so that hospitals can reopen, doctors can return to their duty posts, and Nigerians can once again access the care they deserve.

We always stand with you, and now we ask you to stand with us in solidarity and service to humanity.

Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman
President, Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD)

@SeanPitroda Thanks for highlighting these points. Unfortunately, the negative phrasing in the title and abstract overshadows the valuable insights this study provides. With phrases like ‘stimulates distant mets growth,’ it’s easy to see why many come away with only a negative impression

[JFO @Sirflames]

@TolufaseTolu Tosco baba! Congrats!

[JFO @Sirflames]

@Timileh1n Not all patients with dyspepsia require endoscopy esp young patients. Older patients with new onset dyspepsia or anyone with alarm symptoms need an EGD. We need to learn to develop and follow evidence based guidelines in Nigeria. It saves patients and cost!

@osheguy @Ralphdani I’m pretty certain they didn’t get a PSMA PET for this patient. It’s extremely unlikely to have a prostate confined disease with such elevated PSA.

@OlukorodeOre Shouldn’t be doing this without a helmet and life insurance. Lol

That’s why we don’t commonly get skin cancer in Africa despite 365 days of sun.

[JFO @Sirflames]

UVA can cause skin aging (typically many years later) but will not cause cancer. It is fine for the nails. UVB and UVC can cause cancer. Have in mind that these info is primarily based on Caucasian skin and melanin is largely protective. <20% of UVA penetrates black skin!

Nkechi, before you fix your gel polish nails. Watch this video. UV dryers might damage your skin cells o

Share this video with any Nkechi you know.

In Yorubaland, money has never been foremost in the Yoruba value system.
In our value system money is number six.
What are the first five you may ask?

[JFO @Sirflames]

@whyte_hope @enodamade Then you shouldn’t be giving advice on a subject that your knowledge is obviously very limited.

[JFO @Sirflames]

@whyte_hope @enodamade AUCCC calabar, Marcelle Ruth cancer center Lag, Nsia-LUTH, NHA Abj are some that I know are treating

[JFO @Sirflames]

@whyte_hope @enodamade Waiting list is not endless and most centers I know will ensure it’s done asap if there’s any emergent indication.
