You can never say never.
Some things in health can be incidental findings.

Yesterday I aw a 6yr old boy with complaint of lower abdominal pain,fever and vomiting. No history of trauma to the abdomen, my assessment ruled out gastritis and Gastroenteritis.

Due to the right iliac fossa tenderness, I had high suspicion of appendicitis, so I requested for an abdominopelvic scan, which showed a highly inflamed appendix with possible rupture.

But what got my attention was something I noticed about his skull, he had a pulsating skull.
I want my medical chiefs and our amazing doctors, health practitioners to look at this video and tell me what they think.

Video was made with consent from the parent, patient details weren't disclosed.

This wasn't there primary concern but I had to bring it to their notice and counselled them.

Medics what do you think.
Happy sunday my people.
Much ❤️ from here.

This month makes it 14 years since I became a doctor. The journey took me 10yrs-5yrs Human Anatomy at Uniport and 5yrs Medical school at Calabar.

I spent 11 years practicing and training in England and the last 2 years thriving in Canada.

I’ve been lucky to have 2nd chances and have remained focused on building a reputable & robust career in Medicine.

So, when I speak to my
Mentees and younger doctors, I let them know I’ve walked their path and it’s just delayed gratification , grit & a sprinkle of luck or God’s favour that keep you on the path to success.

So, If you try & don’t succeed, dust yourself up & try again. Tough times don’t last , only tough people do. Your dream is valid!

I thought someone would've been provoked enough by these tweets to start an NGO for the boy child today. Maybe create an account where people can send money to, since there are many generous folks on Twitter.

[Ìfẹ́ @diaryofa9jagirl]

I agree. The Feminism portrayed on twitter is MANY TIMES different from the true essence of feminist values. Numerous "Twitter feminists" seem more inclined to hurl insults than extend help to fellow women, prioritizing uncouth language and rigid expectations over educating and empowering others.

In contrast, many real-life feminists actively contribute to women's lives, irrespective of their stance on feminism, by challenging systemic barriers. Their primary focus lies in empowering women intellectually, financially, and mentally, recognizing that true empowerment fosters self-belief and knowledge.

On twitter, it seems to be a raging war where the fastest finger is deluded into thinking the best comeback has solved a gender bias problem. On twitter, it seems women only have the right to choose if the choice conforms to the expectations set by these Twitter feminists. If you do otherwise, you’re probably an open or closeted misogynist.

Sigh…

It's disheartening that Twitter feminism almost compels me to add disclaimers like "I'm a feminist but not a Twitter feminist," or "I'm a feminist who loves my partner and doesn't hate men." “I am a feminist but I love cooking for my husband…”

I should simply be a able to say “I am a feminist” and that should universally acceptable.

Also, there’s so much anger…

Don’t get me wrong, anger could be justified especially when there’s so much historical and current injustices against women and the stark gender bias could be annoying. In some occasions, anger is NEEDED to convey emotions because staying silent is tantamount to participating in evil doing. Truth is, the reproduction of a bias system can make you go mad if you care enough.

Is the root to your anger because of the injustice of an action, because of a personal pain you feel in relation to the event or because you’re so narcissistic that you completely refuse to accept that there are other ways that lead to a destination aside from YOUR way?

Please understand, I’m not an expert on anger, this is because I rarely get angry, it’s not an emotion that I prioritise so I can’t categorically state ALL reasons why these twitter feminists usually sound angry. I sense vibes and energy though and I have made successful life decisions based on the energy I feel so I can categorically say that I do not hear anger alone from the twitter feminists, I also sense contempt, bitterness and cruelty.

In few occasions, I have allowed my anger override my emotional intelligence and my true intentions but in time, I have come to prioritise real life direct impact over public outrage and winning an argument.

Before you come for a woman’s choices, I beg you to pause and reflect on your words and intentions. Will it empower her, educate her? Are you open to dialogue to understand her intentions or you just want to Lord your self righteous opinions over her?

I’m going to close with Chimamanda’s words. She said, “I say to young Nigerian feminists – please do not use feminism to justify your wickedness… Sometimes, I see some of these young ladies and when talking to them, they sound really mean, and I say to them this isn't feminism; you're just being nasty.”

Note: I’m on holiday so I’ll not be reading responses. If this tweet incites anger, I offer no apologies.

Have you ever wondered how different your life would have been if that one person hadn't come into it?

Maybe you wouldn't hurt as much. Perhaps you would look at yourself in the mirror and smile with greater joy, feeling proud of the choices you've made.
