@francis_ou24232 @KiprutoRotich2 Ndio maana napenda hii Kapkatet. Here either me and the MO or the surgeon. You get to do countless cases of the same procedure. Huku tunaungua😂😂

@KiprutoRotich2 Honestly there are many residents there, you get to compete for even minor procedures. Do you get to acquire the requisite skills?

Kama unafanya ICU or HDU halafu ureceive a call from a medic about them wanting to refer, please don't be rude. Just calmly LISTEN, explain your situation about no bed space and then acha simu ifikie conclusion. Inakuanga tumepiga simu all over with no success na sahizo patient ako anadeteriorate mbele yako 🥹🙏🏽

@ngosas @JoelJirane @JamesKWaNjeri That's a lie. I have seen surgeons carry their own sets from private practice just to perform surgeries in public hospitals at no extra pay or cost.Sometimes the public hospital can't even sterilize for them after use. They have to take them back to the private facility.

@JoelJirane @JamesKWaNjeri You will also find that the ones working with the said drill don't want the public hospital to own one coz that will be the end of their lucrative business,it's rotting from the root upwards

Orthopedic surgeries especially plating, ORIF, IM nailing inahitaji drill. Unapata a referral hospital hires one, 2 days a week at 20k. Lakini governor hana 175k ya kununua hiyo drill but ako na 3 million ya kununua bulbs za kuweka kwa Christmas tree.

Can anyone clarify or give some more information on this; Kenya has only 150 psychiatrists serving a population of more than 50 million people, meaning each specialist caters to over half a million people. Any concrete data?

@KusienyaKelvin @jootrhkisumu He insisted that they can't receive a patient directly from a level 4 . I told him kericho county referral doesn't have a paediatric surgeon and referring the baby there would be a waste of time and resources. Any they later accepted the patient

@KusienyaKelvin There is a day I called @jootrhkisumu to refer a neonate with congenital ileal atresia for paediatric surgical management only for the person to start by defining me what a level 6A national referral is and that they only receive patients form county referrals.

@Imonaar My surgery lecturers used to put it "let the old man enjoy his last days. Stopping smoking at 90 won't reverse his cholangiocarcinoma. "

Medicine is not always black and white. One time before seeing a 90+ patient, fairly healthy, the family requested me to tell him to stop smoking. (40+ yrs smoking). Or, terminal patient in palliative care demands his whisky at home, can we give them? How do you approach?

Got in trouble again for telling a patient with cancer to cut down on sugars, carbs, junk food, eat healthy, organic food. I was told I'm a nurse not a nutritionist or dietician. Ok Felicia but in my nursing program I took more the 4 days of nutrition classes then medical students take. That alone makes me more qualified then a doctors nutrition advice

@faith_nabushawo Where is this where people buy sutures from the pharmacy like they are buying sweets. I thought sutures are essential non pharms that should be procured and stored by the hospital. Unless it's the special types for tendon repair or cervical cerclage.

So I send someone to buy 8 Vicryl 2 sutures, then famacy gives her only two of the required Vicry 2 and because they didnt have more Vicryls, they go ahead to give the patient 6 Nylon 2 sutures to make it 8. Guys are these two sutures interchangeable or is it about the sales 🤦‍♀️

@Imonaar @v_mw3nde_ Politicians think changing laws is the cure to every problem. We already have enough laws in this country. Let them address the issue of healthcare resources first

During CS, the most preferred method of anaesthesia huwa spinal anaesthesia. This means the patients huwa awake. Maybe kuna wenye walisikia kidney dish ikiitishwa, wakajiambia baaass, kidneys zinatolewa 🤦🏽‍♂️
