@YourBabysDoctor Same principle. Pathophysiology with little variance. Internal medicine in a child.

@adekunleeeeee NO IT ISN'T. NO NO NO!

Leaving a seemingly fine patient on the ward in the evening just to meet an empty bed the next morning made me dislike internal medicine.

@drhephzibah1 @Just_ebube My church going has seriously been sacrificed 😂😂. This service is also a service to God.

@Just_ebube Doctor on call here....

Are you going to church today or should I mind my business ?🌚

@Dr_Chibuike_M The joy of a paediatrician is to see a sick child smile.🥰🥰🥰🥰

Caption this Best caption to win airtime🤗

@SemudaraAbayomi @grok who is this crazy woman he is referring too. Gist me

Unilag literally said, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PROTEST. SIGN THIS INDEMNITY FORM IF YOU WANT TO RESUME AND WHATEVER WE DO, YOU CAN’T COMPLAIN. ONE CRAZY WOMAN FROM TVC JUSTIFIED IT BY SAYING DURING HER TIME SHE USED CANDLE LIGHT AND LANTERN TO READ THAT WHY DO STUDENTS NEED LIGHT AND WATER.

@ObaDeleke 40+20+10+30

Nobody in twitter NG can solve this. 1M bet are you in?

" Doctor when my son has similar complaint in the future, I can just buy the medications you recommended today?" I didn't reply, just laughed. No be me you go out for trouble. When the chips are down you will learn. Patients are looking for whom to blame.

@Bigdaddyvinz_ but difficult to find to watch

This series had everyone hooked…do you remember it?

@oma22k As a rule I don't allow fellow workers view my status. Though there are exemptions.

I once blocked my manager from viewing my WhatsApp status. At the time, he kept saying I was always distracted by my phone during meetings. Meanwhile, most of the time I was actually checking work messages or notes. After hearing that comment repeatedly, I quietly removed him from my status viewers. It just felt easier than explaining myself every time. Have you ever blocked your manager from seeing your status?

@deojayson20 @Helscogeneral @AdageorgeA Please they didn't know o.

you states the truth here tbh and i know that can take a great toll on their mental health but then, they signed up for it, they knew what they were going into. they just have to try… if it’s to open up to their patients that they are not ok at the moment and if the patient could just give them time i was once in the hospital to see the doctor and a doctor came out, a pediatrician, he said he couldn’t attend to anyone at that moment, why? he lost a baby patient and it was really getting to him. he is human and he is bound to feel that way and instead of him ruling out wrong diagnosis or being rude, he excused himself. now that’s someone who has empathy…

A medical doctor in Nigeria once looked at my wife and said to her, “Your child is in this condition and you still have time to be applying lipstick.” Till today, I still struggle to understand what lipstick or lip gloss has to do with diagnosing and treating a child that is right in front of you. What exactly does that comment add to the medical care the child needs? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It only reveals something deeper that many of us have unfortunately encountered in parts of the Nigerian healthcare system: arrogance mixed with a troubling lack of empathy. That day, the only thing that saved that doctor from a very serious confrontation was that I was not physically present. And that was not an isolated experience. We once dealt with another doctor who routinely kept patients waiting for hours. Even when he arrived extremely late, he would not offer the most basic courtesy of an apology. Just walk in as though everyone else’s time and anxiety meant nothing. We eventually suffered a major loss connected to one of those delays. That day, I was ready to bring down the entire hospital. Ironically, this was a hospital heavily used by HMOs, sending patients there in droves, yet the doctor in question would hardly be available and would not even hire competent colleagues to support the workload. Our experiences in LUTH are stories I rarely recount in detail because even remembering them can make my blood pressure rise. Yesterday I made a simple statement: the biggest problem is not just infrastructure or funding. It is the lack of empathy. And on Threads, a number of doctors jumped in to defend themselves, saying the real issue is the overwhelming number of patients they see daily. But that explanation does not really hold when you look closely. Doctors abroad also see many patients. In fact, in several countries, the pace can be extremely intense. Yet basic empathy is not treated as optional. It is part of the culture of care. From the consultant down to the healthcare assistant earning minimum wage, there is a consistent understanding that patients are human beings first, not inconveniences. And if you raise that point, the conversation quickly shifts to pay. Yes, compensation matters. Working conditions matter. But empathy is not a luxury that only appears when salaries improve. It is the foundation of healthcare itself. Here in the UK, you will see healthcare workers earning modest wages who still speak gently to patients, explain procedures carefully, and apologise if something goes wrong. They understand that the person lying in that bed is frightened, vulnerable, and trusting them with their life. No one has an excuse to be a healthcare provider without empathy. If you cannot show basic compassion to people who are sick, frightened, and desperate for help, then you have chosen the wrong profession. Medicine is not just about knowledge. It is also about humanity. #tochukwunkwocha Copied

Me: Hey Mich, what are you doing? Mich: Don't disturb me Mummy. Me: *Clearly shocked* Don't what? Mich: I'm doing my assignment, mummy, I need to focus. Me: Ok, Mich *Shamefully walks away* (Because she's just repeating exactly what I say to her, but even though even though) Omo, Gentle parenting is hard work o, because some things deserve premium abara. PS: When did she stop being this cute kid that needed me 💯 percent?? When did this cuteness get replaced with sassy??? 😩 😪 😫

@popoolaadaniel Nope. Medical dramas deceived me🥲.

Medical Doctors all over the world, If you had the chance to start all over again, would you still choose to study medicine?

The image of a little girl crying and itching reminds me constantly of how a parent's decision affects the home. Her father had been unfaithful and so infected his wife and children with scabies. Children near the brunt of bad decisions.

@eldivine Once they know you don't know much about something they milk you dry . WiFi guy was paid to subscribe for 1 year only for him to to 3 months.

My friend who owns a hospital is gisting me how his accountant and one of his technicians disabled his EMR and billing system and were siphoning revenue, nearly sucked his business dry. The month he caught it and arrested them, they reported the highest revenue they've ever had. And this is a hospital that is less than a year in full operations. They wan run my man streets in Lagos.

If the algorithm showed you my art, I appreciate any support I get

No matter how talented you think you are, one day you will surely meet someone talenteder than you😭

Because an Indian did video 😂😂😂😂 that massage you.

@IamSire_Andy @CryptofxOG Yet you too would demand for mercy when situation 'casociate' but can't give it. You could have just looked away but nooo .... Ride on.

@CryptofxOG Absolutely nobody sent you to study medicine, your school had 4yrs courses you would have studied so stop complaining. 🙄

HAS NIGERIA 🇳🇬 FAILED US?💔 Or are there still good Nigerians left who will amplify our cry? After 8 solid years in medical school, sleepless nights, endless exams, trust me a lot of mental breakdowns we never spoke about🥺… we are now told to wait another 1yr+, doing nothing, before we get inducted into the Medical Profession. Then comes compulsory NYSC and Housemanship, and that’s even if we get placement early. That’s 2 more years. In total: 11yrs+ just to earn a degree. How is this fair? This is bullying. This is wickedness. We are tired. We are depressed. We are heartbroken💔 . We have devoted almost a decade of our youth to this profession. We passed the Almighty exams. We paid the price. And yet… we are still stuck, waiting, FORGOTTEN 😭. We’ve been silent since September. We endured. We hoped. But hope is fadinggggg!!!!😭 We want to move forward with our lives too. We want to help our parents finally eat the fruits of their labour. Is that too much to ask, Nigerians? 💔 If you are a concerned Nigerian, please stand with us🙏 with a RETWEET of this post. Tag popular influencers. Help our voices reach the people at the top🤲. This is our heart crying out. And it is not easy on us. 😭💔 We need your voices We need HELP😭

The "PCP of the eye" branding is largely a lobbying success in the US. By adopting the title, they can push for "Scope of Practice" expansions without needing the almost 15+ years of work needed to get there. Which is why I still largely blame the US for a lot of the "noctor" issues we have today. It is all medical politics and the title-fication of a largely income-driven healthcare industry in these countries. The OD is largely a title popularized by the US and Canada, in majority of Europe, Optometrists graduate with a Bsc and/or Msc and even have a wider scope than what I am seeing below. There are some developed countries where Optometrists don't even exists at all or are not a legally recognized or regulated profession. They must all be going blind as they are missing the vital Primary care Drs of the eye as all they have left are Opthalmologists who only do "surgeries" apparently. Saying that you don't see how this discussion has showed how some people use language that blurs the lines, creates confusion, puts patient safety at risks and allows for quackery to thrive is definitely dishonest. Optometrists are vital for vision care. But they aren't physicians, they didn't go to medical school, and "the only difference is surgery" is a lie that they apparently have said so many times that they now believe is true.

same privileges as a medical Dr. Some would even abuse it and milk it. So why would should the case be? Why not say Dr. Kim Optometrist for clarity. And no, two captains can't rule a ship. Ophthalmologist would always remain Dr. of the eye. Dr of Optometry isn't Dr. of the eye

There are certain benefits that accrues when you're associated with somebody. It's like a lady being associated to a guy enjoys privileges from his friends. This is the main issue with the Dr. Ambiguity. When an Optometrist say Dr. Kim. Many who don't know would confer
