Scars, which form as a response to a wound such as a minor burn, cut, or abrasion, are part of the body’s natural healing process. The skin can overreact to the damage and lead to scars that are much larger than the original wound. These scars are called keloids.
*Thread* 🧵
I don't think I have ever posted anything to rage bait any person or groups of people actually.
I feel grossly misunderstood but I am grateful that someone at least got what I was saying.
I saw a challenge and I called it out. Nurses should join doctors during rounds, or for any procedure for the sake of the patient and our joint improvement.
It is a collaborative career/profession.
You probably know that I am right. Perhaps that's why you feel so triggered.
I have tried to directly address as many comments as possible but I cannot get to all tonight due to my current schedule.
Perhaps I will, perhaps I won't
If you want to discuss this further, you can send me a DM or email [email protected]
Thank you guys.
A very demeaning and undermining scenario to give.
Nurses! Aren’t you seeing the stereotype ?
It reeks of “I am still superior”
Many of you doctors can’t work in a saner clime. why? Because the Ego fueling your mediocrity is connected to the poor state of healthcare in 9ja.
I wish I could answer all the questions under this thread, but it is impossible for me right now but walk with me.
Resident: Good day Ma, we're starting Rounds.
Nursing officer: We are busy, go ahead with rounds.
Resident: Makes a note and updates the treatment sheet.
Intern nurse to Nursing officer: Ma, i want to go and give potassium to that patient. The doctor wrote that we should give 20mmol in 100mls of fluid to run over 6 hours.
Resident:(Who by chance was still around the ward heard what was said) No, sister, this child should not have 20mmol in 100 mls. It is 2mmol in 100mls, the child is 4kg.
Nursing officer to Resident:( Trying to defend her intern) Doctor that's what you wrote. You said 20mmol in 100mls
Resident: Mistakes can happen but it is impossible to write that. Let's just confirm.
Apparently, the doctor wrote 2mmol/100mls of fluids but the intern nurse mixed it up.
Imagine if the doctor hadn't heard
The intern would have given that, unsupervised, patient would have had a cardiac arrest.
Something or someone else would be blamed for it because no one was there to see it.
There will be less cases of "medical negligence" if everyone is on the same page.
If you had joined the rounds, you would have known that it was impossible for a doctor to write that.
Let us brainstorm on patient care.
Let us agree on way forward.
Ask your questions.
Don't just accept whatever is written
Mistakes are less likely if we are all working together.
Let us stop the pride and ego and hatred.
If a doctor is trying to put you down, take a stand and call them out.
Let's know if there were any issues.
The notes are just there to confirm what was already said.
If you did physics in secondary school, there is something called specific heat capacity.
It is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. If a substance requires a high amount of heat energy to get hot, it takes a long time for it to cool down. If it requires very little heat energy to get hot, it cools down easily. That is why groundnut oil heats up faster than water, but hot oil also cools down faster than hot water.
If women catch feelings easily, best believe they move on very very easily ✌️
