10bn, hahaha! Let me break my Oath of not mentioning my personal things on X.
My whole retirement package, pension etc, for 46 years of FIGHTING for Uganda was 1.2bn...ONE.. not TEN...
One, off...(which some people make in one day).
No medical cover, no Car, no House, no furniture, etc.. like they give those civilian retirees/Judges, Prime Minister, Vice...They even take them abroad for medical care, for us, NOTHING...!!
One(1bn)...for 50 YEARS OF FIGHTING...The records are there in DEFENCE &FINANCE...go check it....
And my compatriots, who fought for 50year, 30,...even retired with less.....
That is the life of a soldier!!!
PATRIOTS PAR EXCELLENCE....
LETโS TALK ABOUT SCANS.
An ultrasound scan is NOT just for seeing your babyโs face, finding out the sex or taking a cute picture.
A pregnancy scan can give important information about the pregnancy, the baby, the placenta, amniotic fluid and more.

Kaf Clinical Series ๐ฉบ | Case 03
23-day-old F with omphalitis and 4 days without stool, though passing flatus.
AXR shows diffuse gaseous bowel distension with absent rectal gas. No pneumoperitoneum, pnematosis and no portal venous gas.
What is the cause of the constipation?
"peptic ulcer disease (PUD)" or what people call Ulcers is a heterogeneous disease (meaning it has so many causes, presentation, risk factors etc)
Most people confuse that "Ulcers" are caused by H.Pylori of which the causes of "Ulcers" are so many that sometimes we cannot even know what caused them.
So, just because H.Pylori can be spread from one person to another doesn't mean "ulcers" is communicable because the disease can be caused by so many other things including but not limited to:
1. Bacteria H.Pylori
2. Pain killers that increase stomach acid.
3. Acidic foods like lemon, pineapple etc
4. Taking many hours of day without food.
5. Chewing gum without eating
6. Stress
7. Severe burns on the body
8. Steroids
9. So many causes.
Myths about this disease.
1. Sending you to lab to test for "ulcers" is not possible, we test for just one cause and that is the bacteria H.pylori, so test can be negative yet you have "ulcers" due to so many other causes.
"Ulcers" will mostly be diagnosed through history and if you can afford, the endoscopy which is the gold standard. In lab, we don't test for "ulcers". We send you knowing that you have "ulcers" but just rule out the bacteria as the cause, in which case treatment changes.
2. "Ulcers" is a communicable disease. This is not true, only the H.pylori induced "ulcers" can be spread and not everyone who gets the bacteria develops the disease.
3. "Ulcers" don't heal. This is not true, they do just that being heterogeneous, most people don't take time to find the risk factors and causes but just keep managing the symptoms.
Etc etc.
Stopping here for now....
