By the way, one needs a professional (physiotherapist...or dietitian) for all of these👇👇👇 Else, the weight loss will be mostly a hit-or-miss effort. And if it does happen, it may not really be the health boost you wished it to be...

@BukkyOA @todeeomonaiye Solid!

Because I can identify it, I precisely manage it. For instance, because I know my brain drifts quickly, I use the calendar; 1 important task per hour. I still drift, but not much. I also write on my notepad in caps what I am doing in the moment so that when I am tempted to drift, I get pulled back.

My attention span is less than a minute. I also have about 25 screens open in my brain at any particular time. I can hardly sit still to do one thing for long, and I am bored out of my mind so quickly. That's why I fail any typical exams I sit for. I also struggle with details, high-level, or you lose me. Because I have 25 screens open in my brain, I am always halfway through many different things at once, hardly finishing any of them. I also have random, half-baked ideas that are mostly meaningless. I will start explaining an idea to you and in the process, I will realise it was all foolery, so, I will tell you to ignore me. I go into a room to pick up something, and I forget exactly what I wanted to pick up and I won’t remember until I leave the room and go back to where I was before. My phone is in my back pocket, but I have been looking for it for the last 30 minutes. I go into the kitchen to make coffee, but I end up doing the dishes, rearranging the living room sofa, boiling rice, and listening to a podcast all at the same time. I get back upstairs and realise I forgot to make the coffee. If I can't simplify a task, I would do everything else but that one important task. I will have my headset on with a podcast playing, and the TV will be on playing music at the same time. I lie down to rest, but I will also bring my laptop in case something urgent comes up on a Saturday at 8pm. I cry for no apparent reason: ‘Why is my life like this?’

@DHKRULLAH We are many.

@BukkyOA Classic ADHD I'm sure you've a handle on it now, though?

@Annette_LEXA @HistoryWJacob @Arrogance_0024 He surely didn't earn that generalship, though; he was handed it because he was an aristocrat (and even at that, 16 is still a stretch; the youngest I used to know of - still French - was Condé (Louis II de Bourbon) who was a senior general, maybe even C-in-C, at 21/22...)

@HistoryWJacob @Arrogance_0024 I read in the first issue of the Stanislas Academy (France, late 18th century) that one of the founders was an army general at 16.

The concept of "teenager" is a modern invention. For most of human history, a boy of 13 was already a man, apprenticed in a trade or fighting in a war. George Washington was a professional surveyor at 16. Alexander Hamilton managed a trading company at 14. In medieval Europe, noble boys could be pages at 7 and squires by 14. In Rome, a boy put on the "toga of manhood" at 14. The idea that an 18 year-old is "still figuring things out" would have been incomprehensible to our ancestors. I believe this is why we think teenagers are so troubled. They are men and women stuck in a society that treats them as children. Of course they are going to "rebel". We should give them more responsibility and expect much more of them.

@Miss_Oluremi @chookaah @qar33m Ah Makes it even worse😩

@chookaah @irokho @qar33m No, this didn't happen in Ph

It was a female pastor. My aunt didn't marry early. She later found a man, he was younger and she decided to marry him. She introduced him to her pastor. And wedding preparations were in place. All of a sudden, he broke up with her for no logical reason. Later, my aunt found out her pastor was sleeping with him.

@chookaah @Miss_Oluremi @qar33m 👀

@Miss_Oluremi @qar33m The pastor was single too. I think I know this Pastor cos I was privy to this kind of info.

@iAmAOJ 😅

Well, Romberg checks for balance in relation to proprioception. I don't want arguments from omni-knowest HCWs this morning

As a Physio that works in ED & Frailty SDEC Unit, I appreciated Dr Mohan's assessment, management & discharge planning for that older man and his wife. The social history, balance Ax, Polypharmacy consideration, deprescribing. Patient centred and carried family along. #thepitt

@oyewumiu56 @dr_katumwa @sama_on_point Principal will just suspend the two both of 'em😂😅

@dr_katumwa @sama_on_point What should come out of your mouth should be “you know ball” then proceed to give him a handshake 🤝 and finish it off with that my boy

My son fought. I was summoned to HM's office-those invitations that come with stress. Boy is seated to my right, looking small, guilty & suddenly very obedient. I'm there trying to mimic a responsible parent. The Headmaster had prepared a sermon: He spoke. And spoke eloquently. And spoke vehemently. About discipline, character, the future. Etc etc… Me nodding like a car dashboard toy; My son-Head down, Silent, Regretful: The picture of reform. Finally, the Headmaster lands the plane: "Fighting in this school is highly punishable and strictly not allowed." I turn slowly to my son. "lan, have you heard?" Boy looks me dead in the eyes & says: "Yes, Daddy... I will beat him during the holidays." My spirit left my body😱.

@Funminz Happy birthday!

It's my birthday today 🎁🎂🎈🎉 Grateful for life, for family, for friends, for growth, for peace. Stepping into this new chapter with faith, abundance, celebration and joy. ✨

@ballzy_physio Really?

President of Iran is a cardio thoracic surgeon? 😩

@olabuchiAminu @edolefty @klintoncod 😅😂

@edolefty @klintoncod For some reason, its only women that keep crying about “male loneliness epidemic” Very suspicious

Alot of American/Canadian over 35 women are now freezing eggs due to fear of not finding life partners, speak to most of them for 3mins and you will understand why men struggle to stay with them, this is where i see Nigerian women going in the next 3-5yrs to come. As a woman looking forward to marriage and building a family, learn from your mother, be loyal, be practical, be kind, be respectful and overall, be considerate. Na una need this marriage thing pass, no be men.

@Opewheel Is yahoo a "good thing", though? Is that what you're saying? And is that what you do, let's tag EFCC to coman see something?🤷 Because I don't understand this your defensiveness about what someone else tweeted as her preference in men...

It’s always funny to me when some of you girls criticized yahoo as bad things but when politicians ask you out to be their girlfriend you will not criticize them.

When I comment under a post, I like and repost. I do this for all my mutuals, especially small accounts. The only accounts I don't repost and like are the big accounts that I'm not following. But you small accounts will only like my tweets, or just comment and like, why are you hoarding your repost? I have taken note of 3 small accounts, and I'll make sure never to repost them again. I'll start giving back the same energy.

@Lightgang_ It's an issue with all the old-time pentecostals, I think (the various Apostolic churches as well as AoG are on this table as well, even the so-named "Classic RCCG"...as opposed to their more libertarian "Model RCCG"). They follow a "rules-based" devotion (& mistake it for TOTF).

I have noticed that most Deeper Lifers I know struggle with legalism. Not occasionally: consistently. At what point do we ask whether this is a foundational, doctrinal defect?

@Lightgang_ @msmocrown @Alpha_Yom Hehehe Not surprised sha😏

@msmocrown @Alpha_Yom Hmmmm! IFA fun re @irokho see

@ayo4real10 @dranthoniaeddo 😩😅😂🤧

@dranthoniaeddo This your story no clear at all Abeg next time post am for Facebook not twitter

My neighbor’s generator went off at 2:17am. In this part of Lagos, that sound never goes off unless something is wrong. At first, I ignored it. Then I heard a soft knock on my gate. It was his 10 year old daughter. “Please, can you help us? Daddy is outside.” I rushed out. Their generator didn’t spoil. He turned it off himself. Because he had calculated the fuel left and realized it was either light for the night or fuel to drive to a job interview in the morning. He chose the interview. In the dark. His wife was fanning their baby with cardboard. Sweat everywhere. Mosquitoes humming like backup singers. I asked him, “Why didn’t you just let it run small?” He said something I haven’t stopped thinking about:

@drajidara 😂😅

Let me tell you how it all started. In 1989, a young house officer in IATH mistakenly called the a Consultant by his first name during ward round. Silence. The nurses froze. The other interns looked at the ceiling. A drip stopped dripping out of respect. The young doctor quickly corrected himself, “Sorry sir… Chief, sir.” The consultant nodded. From that day on, nobody wanted to risk that kind of mistake again. And thus, “Chief” was born. That's how it came about Chief! Or am I the Chief? 😄

@DorcasDynax @daveolukayodept 😃😂

Body go tell you oo

I need to say this clearly. This would be a really long read, but I implore you all to read it patiently. I believe that X is not the platform for fixing the foundational cracks in Nigeria’s healthcare system. If the ideology behind multidisciplinary team (MDT) practice is faulty at its roots, no amount of online arguments will repair it. The problem is structural. MDT should not be an afterthought. It should not be something healthcare professionals “learn on the job.” It must be embedded at the undergraduate level across all healthcare disciplines in Nigeria. That is where professional identity is formed. That is where respect for scope of practice is shaped. That is where collaboration should begin. Every healthcare profession (Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Medical Laboratory Science, Pharmacy, Radiography, Occupational Therapy, and others) should be formally taught: • The roles of other professionals • Referral pathways • Scope boundaries • Shared decision-making models • Evidence-based interdisciplinary guidelines When this is missing at the foundational level, what fills the gap is ego, misinformation, and hierarchy-driven practice. What we are witnessing online is a symptom of that gap. It is deeply concerning to see undergraduate MBBS students publicly dismissing or undermining experienced physiotherapists, nurses, and medical laboratory scientists — professionals who have practiced for over a decade, some in highly regulated systems like the UK, the US, and parts of Europe where MDT collaboration is non-negotiable. In those systems, no professional functions in isolation. In those systems, referral is not weakness — it is competence. In those systems, understanding another professional’s expertise is not optional — it is mandatory. And importantly, in those systems, dismissive or derogatory conduct toward other healthcare professionals can have serious medico-legal implications. Licenses can be reviewed. Institutions can sanction. Professional bodies can act. Yet in Nigeria, because MDT is not structurally emphasized during undergraduate training some students are socialized into believing that medicine operates as a standalone authority with unilateral solutions. That mindset is dangerous. No single profession has a monopoly on patient outcomes. No single discipline provides permanent solutions to every condition. Modern healthcare is complex. Chronic disease management, rehabilitation, critical care, oncology, neurology, orthopedics, cardiopulmonary conditions — these require coordinated input. The patient suffers when collaboration is absent. The patient suffers when referrals are delayed because of professional pride. The patient suffers when one discipline minimizes another’s contribution. This is not about social media debates. This is about educational reform. If we want unity among healthcare practitioners in Nigeria, MDT must be: • Structured • Assessed • Examined • Practiced in simulations • Modeled during clinical rotations Curriculum review is overdue. Undergraduate health-related discipline training and programs, should formally integrate interdisciplinary modules and practical MDT exposure. That is how global standards are maintained. That is how healthcare systems mature. Until then, arguing on X will only produce noise. Real change begins in lecture halls. Real change begins in curriculum boards. Real change begins with acknowledging that healthcare is collaborative — not competitive. We owe patients that much.
