I really hope that one day, evidence based healthcare advice will be so common that everyone can take better care of themselves with confidence.
To me, #preventivecare is the holy grail
Never get too comfortable earning a certain amount of money even if it sorts out your whole bills for a year.
There’s always room to earn more than you are currently.
And do not stay too long in a job that makes you money but contributes little or nothing to your growth (especially if it is a long term role)
…. because at the end of the day, if you loose that job, you might find yourself at a level lower than you were before.
But make sure you have plans in place (no go leave job without a backup plan o)
Newborn phase, I was so exhausted. I asked myself why would anyone do this more than once
Then one day, she stared straight into my soul and gave me the widest toothless smile and I was like "oh that's why"
because I know that's the memory my hormone soaked brain will save 🙄
Worked at staff clinic at a teaching hospital for some time. I know the shege many residents face. Any residual thoughts I had of doing residency in Ng vanished in that period. I had residents and HOs come for consult just to coman cry and take a nap. Esp surgery and IM. Hian!
Congratulations to all the doctors starting residency today in the UK!
The race has begun.
Remember, the days are long, but the years are not.
Never postpone your happiness. Never be a destination addict. Enjoy the journey before the destination.
Fly. Soar.
It's ironic that the time you spend getting ready to be something is often better spent just being it. One minute of actually doing a thing is worth way more than an hour of thinking about it.
Did you know doomscrolling might actually be a sign of exhaustion?
You're not lazy. You're drained.
You're not bored. You're burnt out.
That endless scroll? It’s your mind begging for escape.
Put the phone down.
Close your eyes.
You don’t need more content, you need rest.
Touch grass today. Good morning, Equals.

When we beg people not to visit spas for dental treatments, they think it’s because dentists “want to make all the money”.
A qualified dentist would recognize the condition, diagnose appropriately and give proper treatment.
Unfortunately, it’s also possible that the person already visited a dental clinic and ran away because of the cost.

How does Sapa/Lapo medicine want to cope?
If you visit nepo baby in their house, the first question their parent ask you is “what is your name”
They’re not concerned about your name, it’s the surname they want to hear.
Lapo baby: my name is Yemi Otedola
Nepo parents : Yemi Otedola? (Start thinking 🤔)
yemi..yemi 🤔
