There’s no pepper this rural posting isn’t showing me, today the passenger next to me entered with his goat 🤦🏾‍♀️

I almost didn’t write this. I don’t like speaking about systemic issues publicly. But sometimes, silence doesn’t help anyone. For context: I haven’t had a house officer for a week. 44 doctors are currently at home, awaiting induction. Some who are already working haven’t been paid. I haven’t had a registrar for months Health workers are leaving in droves... Yet the workload hasn't reduced. This isn’t about one hospital or department at this point. It’s what happens when a lot of gaps exist in a sector with not enough people filling it. And here’s the difficult part: Patients still come expecting answers. Relatives still come expecting hope. Juniors still look to seniors for direction and leadership. Everyone keeps showing up. That is what holds the system together . The people! But effort alone can not bear a broken down structure/system indefinitely. At some point, the system must support the people working within them. Because when they don’t, the impact is not abstract. It reaches patients. Families. Doctors. And the next generation. We need to do better. Not just for today. But for the future. Because a system that depends only on sacrifice will eventually fail the people it is meant to serve. Day 89/100

@The_Attending @The_Attending Hello bro! I love your sharing. Did you see the message I sent you, brother?

For us in surgery, at least in our " tropical practice" IV fluids 5% D/W alt with N/S (or R/L) 1L 8 hourly is not the same as; N/S alt with 5% D/W 1L 8 hourly. It is also not the same as 500ml of either fluids given alternatively. This is of significance for our pts on NPO.

@Atiticruiz @Docfrosh You understand this well.., if you don't give yourself some grace you will go crazy. Thanks by the way

@The_Attending @Docfrosh You have to pay rent, feed, take care of your health, transport yourself to work and back, support family and friends... The Lord is your strength Dr Ayange. A jolly good fellow!

So fed government cannot pay house officer 500k..?

@Docfrosh It's crazy man

@The_Attending You don’t mean it sir…!

@Docfrosh It's been awhile since you checked then. I am in UATH, there are 7 Orthopedic surgeons plus 1 yet to be employed Fellow. We haven't done statistics for National hospital, FMC Jabi and others like Garki hospital, Cedar Crest (which is Ortho-heavy), Nisa Premier.

@The_Attending UATH has 3 national hospital has 2 the last time I checked

I guess the "lacks 5 orthopedic surgeons" is a figure of speech.

@Batmantallk You versus you

Pitch me your best advice in 3 words

There's no consensus

🚫📱 Babies under 2 should have ZERO screen time! According to WHO and AAP, little eyes and developing brains need real-world interaction, not screens. 🍼👶 Start healthy habits early. Play, talk, and explore with your baby instead of screens!

@hollasymbol @ayeesh_K 🤣

@The_Attending @ayeesh_K Can you imagine, the instead of them to get the right information and do the right thing, they won’t. What they are always eager to do is insult Nigerian doctors, beat them up, set ring light, buy data and saying rubbish.

Till this day, patients think doctors own the hospital dey work in. So that when you cancel a surgery bcos of lack of resources in the theatre, they turn violent. When you direct them to SERVICOM in charge of complaint management, they refuse to go, it's you they want to beat.

@hollasymbol @ayeesh_K Aaaah

@The_Attending @ayeesh_K Another one said to us, “wicked Doctors”, same doctors that will contribute money to pay the patient’s bill because social welfare is not forthcoming.

A patient's relative got angry that they were sweating on a queue in d clinic, that we are such a disgrace for not having functional air conditioners, meanwhile we were also sweating. The inefficiencies u complain abt are genuine, only issue is you're talkin to the wrong person.

@abassajayi Welldone Sir
