Two Books I want to read before the year ends and they are both free. Who wants to read with me? We might just start a Global Health Interest Group 😄

@DrJakpa @Collinzosky My study partner and I keep reminding ourselves that it's better to have a license and not need it, than to need a license and not have it and of course we're talking about GMC Licence. We're studying hard 💪 💪

@Collinzosky What exactly are they doing it for? What’s the essence

for the love of GOD!!! why are you still studying for PLAB???

Whoever invented this is an underrated genius

@DrIkejioforP @lalala3080 If Nigeria had a board exam like the US, wait a minute, The US is too far; like Tanzania, this wouldn't be a question. As a student and practitioner of medical education, I'll tell you there are benchmarks every University has to meet before they graduate any Doctor. So, YES

@lalala3080 The lies we tell ourselves. Is medicine really same in every school???

You’ve tried OAU Medicine thrice without getting pricked and this year, you finally changed from OAU but it’s to UI Medicine. A lot of people really need a guardian before obtaining a JAMB form. MB;BS is the same in every school. Stop wasting time on highlyyy competitive schools.

@Adejibo Wild. Quacks in a community had a meeting to stop referrals. Kill me already

@Adejibo Wait time is crazy.

Shall we host a medics space to talk about some advances in medicine globally compared to Nigeria???

@Adejibo @DrA_001 Yeah, stories are really important in any field of medicine. It's the ground work that is laid for future changes. It's why I love Narrative Medicine.

@DrA_001 Just to share stories with colleagues I think it's hard to imagine what is possible when some haven't seen it Immunotherapy reversing some stage 4 cancers for instance

@Adejibo Time and date

My weekend plan is to refresh some gallbladder anatomy Meanwhile, I did 3 laparoscopic cholecystectomy this week 🤣 So yeah, everyone still reads some anatomy from time to time

A friend's dad had an accident some weeks ago Fractured leg We couldn't get an Xray in Ibadan because it was after 5pm From here, we made a plan for trauma CT. Only one place in the whole of Ibadan doing that But sure, Nigeria and UK are the same

My first surgery as lead surgeon ♥️

@FNULNU1 @GrayMatterexe I guess a good part of them has rubbed of on you too. Looking forward to sitting in your classroom one of these days 😀

@justyeshua @GrayMatterexe Man, it was incredible! Hall is a walking encyclopedia of Physiology. The thing I appreciate the most was the department’s emphasis on writing and presenting information. I was presenting at EB as a 1st year. “If you can’t explain it in a few sentences, you don’t know it!”😂

Guyton or Sembulingam?

SEVEN JAPA COUNTRIES: Australia wants you. Canada wants you. Australia wants you. Ireland wants you. Australia wants you. New Zealand wants you. Australia wants you.

@GrayMatterexe Always will be.

@justyeshua Ganong is 👑

@FNULNU1 @GrayMatterexe Wow. Must be really amazing to have learned from them.

@justyeshua @GrayMatterexe Yep. Dr. Hall took what Dr. Guyton started and ran with it. I need to visit him before he retires. I think June 2026 is his last month as Chair.

Peter Obi was executive governor of Anambra state for 8 years, excelling in areas of health, security, education, infrastructure, economy, agriculture, etc Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was governor of Kano state, Nigeria's Centre of Commerce, for 8 years, excelling in areas of education, health, security, agriculture, economy, etc Two men who have held executive power and never abused it. Two men who used the power God gave them for good. We don't want a green horn who has zero experience of executive power and whose actions when wielding executive power we can not predict. With Obi & Kwankwaso, Nigeria will surely be OK! 👍🏾

The past week has broken me in places I didn't even know could be broken. Gbogbo ara lo n mi 😫😫😫😫😫😫

Don't open a blank document and try to write from the title to the conclusion. That is usually painful. Here is a better way to get started on your first paper ① Choose the journal early ↳ The journal shapes the audience, structure, word count, and style. ↳ Do not write the full paper first and search for a journal later. ② Settle authorship early ↳ Who contributed? ↳ Who qualifies as an author? ↳ Who should be acknowledged? ↳ Resolve this before the writing becomes political. ③ Start with methods and results ↳ These sections are closest to what you actually did. ↳ They are often easier to write than the introduction or discussion. ④ Write the introduction as a problem ↳ The reader should quickly understand: → what is known → What is missing → What question does your study answer ⑤ Keep the results clean ↳ Present the findings clearly. ↳ Do not turn the results section into a discussion. ⑥ Use the discussion to explain the meaning ↳ This is where you answer: → Did the study answer the question? → How does it compare with previous work? → What are the implications? → What are the limitations? ⑦ Write the abstract last ↳ More people will read your abstract than the full paper. ↳ Do not treat it as a minor detail. —- Your first paper will probably feel harder than it should. That is normal. You are learning how to think, organize, defend, and communicate like a scholar. The goal is to make your work difficult to misunderstand. Start with the question. Build the structure. Respect the reader. Then write the first draft. Which part of writing your first paper feels hardest: starting, structuring, or submitting?
