Phd To do or Not To Do

Okay, was Pst. Nath in church last Sunday here in Calgary?

3. Imagine if there was an updated Crash Cart or Code Blue kit with a defibrillator and all that nice stuff? They did resusicate the patient. After 45mins horrifying minutes. Somebody somewhere chopped the money meant for equipment.

2. In that time, they all had their chains of command. Switching hands after every few minutes to prevent fatigue. Manually as in chest compressions and blowing air into the airway, mouth - mouth. It was a gruesome experience. NEPA took light at some point.

1. My angle on this is, healthcare workers in Nigeria do so much with so little or sometimes nothing in terms of updated equipment. As an intern Physiotherapist at a tertiary hospital in the SW 16 years ago, I witnessed doctors resuscitating a patient manually for over 45mins.

2 John 1:7 NLT [7] I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. bible.com/bible/116/2jn.…

Who is at The Experience?

My non-verbal autistic son just said his first word today. They called me from his school just now and told me that he held his teachers hand, and guided her to the snack cart and said "chip" out of nowhere. The speech therapists and specialists told me that my son would never speak. They swore it would never happen. I cannot count the times I have cried and stressed about him not being able to talk. It's a heavy weight to carry knowing he can't express himself and watching him struggle with it. My prayers were literally answered with this. We're not 100% there yet, but this is huge. I'm so proud of you, son.

This may not be the right approach to the situation. Consider a program to improve on the quality of care and quantity of healthcare workers

Certainly not. Unless the woman had indicated earlier that they should by all means prolong her life till 100 years of age. This is why I always advocate for having this conversation with your Elderly loved ones. Daddy o, what would you like us to do if you were terribly ill?

Someone was complaining to me the other day about how his mum’s health is draining their finances and putting a strain on everything from his marriage to his colleagues. It’s just one health problem after another. He’s rich but this wahala has tested that richness. I asked how old his mum is. 95. As in, in 5 years she will be 100 years old? Yes. I just kept silent. But in my head, I was thinking, “just let the poor woman go.” Is that a bad thought?

It happened during my internship at the Teaching Hospital, inside the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). ​We had a premature baby in Incubator 3. Baby Farouq. He was a fighter. He was hooked up to a mechanical ventilator because his tiny lungs couldn't work on their own yet. ​His father, Mr. Ahmed, was always there. He was a tall, strong man, but in that ward, he looked small. Every evening, he would stand by the window, watching his son, whispering prayers. ​That night, I was doing my rounds, calibrating the oxygen sensors on the ventilators to make sure the flow was perfect. Mr. Ahmed was standing right beside me, asking, "Engineer, the machine is sounding smooth today, abi?" ​I smiled and said, "Yes sir, Farouq is doing well." ​Then, it happened. ​NEPA took the light. ​The hum of the ventilators died instantly. The room went pitch black. ​Usually, the big industrial inverter kicks in within 5 seconds. We waited. One second. Five seconds. Ten seconds. ​Silence. The batteries were old and hadn't been replaced despite three memos written by the HOD. ​Chaos broke out. ​The Doctor, Dr. Yusuf, screamed, "Ambu-bag! Everyone, manual ventilation!" ​I didn't wait. I switched on my phone torch and dove behind the ventilator. I thought maybe it was a fuse. Maybe I could bypass the inverter and connect it to a portable UPS we kept for emergencies. ​Mr. Ahmed grabbed my shoulder. His grip was shaking. "Engineer! Fix it! Why did the machine stop? Fix it!" ​I was sweating. I ripped the back panel open. I was checking the terminals with my screwdriver in the dark. I was praying to a God I hadn't spoken to in years. Please, let there be a residual charge. Please. ​But the battery indicator was flat. 0%. ​Dr. Yusuf was manually pumping air into the baby’s lungs with the hand-pump, but it wasn't enough. The baby needed the specific pressure only the machine could give. ​Mr. Ahmed saw his son turning blue. The strong man broke. He fell to his knees, holding the leg of the incubator. "NEPA, bring light! Oh God, bring light! My son is going!" ​For 15 minutes, we fought in that darkness. ​I was trying to swap the power cord to a different socket, hoping maybe one line had power. My hands were trembling. I felt useless. All my engineering knowledge, all my circuit theory, useless because of diesel and batteries. ​Then, Dr. Yusuf stopped pumping. He lowered his head. ​Mr. Ahmed screamed. "Doctor, why did you stop? Pump him! Engineer, put on the machine now!" ​I stood up, holding my screwdriver, tears running down my face. I couldn't look at him. ​"Flash." ​The bulbs flickered. The AC hummed. NEPA brought the light back. ​The ventilator screen lit up. Beep. Beep. Beep. ​But it was pumping air into a corpse. ​Mr. Ahmed didn't cry immediately. He just stared at the machine that came back to life two minutes too late. Then he looked at me. ​"You fixed it?" he asked, his voice broken. ​I couldn't tell him I didn't fix anything. I couldn't tell him that his son died because someone in the administrative block didn't sign a check for batteries. ​That night, listening to a grown man wail for his son in the corridor, Nigeria broke me. It taught me that in this country, your technical skill means nothing if the system wants to kill you. 💔🇳🇬

Just randomly remembered that during one of the NECO/WAEC exams many years ago, I forgot how to spell 'of'

Coloured eyes and visual impairment are 5&6? Or could there be other factors? Lifestyle, Genetics Environment

I'm happy I was there. Watched it. One of my all time movies. IMHO, a part two wasn't needed.

RT @OneJoblessBoy: "Is there religious genocide in Nigeria?" Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo:

Stop increasing the speed of your I.V drip when nurses leave the room, some drugs are not meant to move very fast…you’ll kill yourself one day.

@Freyy_is And then He sat at the right hand of the Father. Indicating it was fully done. Read that in Hebrews just last week. Hebrews 10:11-12

when I learned that when Jesus said “it is finished” (John 19:30), the Greek word he used “tetelestai”literally means “paid in full.” it hit me that he wasn’t just saying his suffering was over… he was declaring that the debt of sin was completely canceled. every barrier between us and God was torn down right then and there (Matthew 27:51). that moment changed how I walk with him. i stopped trying to earn His love and started living from the victory He already won.

@calledoutmusic Can't wait to worship with you again in Calgary!!!!!

my happy place! 🎹 • Today I sat down to record another worship session and I can’t wait to share what we captured ♥️

@NaijaFlyingDr Contract marriage. Win-win They get married. Your track record is maintained Love will find them later in it.

The last two intros I made have resulted in marriage. However, the most recent friends I introduced don't seem to be getting along at all. Is there any legal route I can take to force them to get married so that my exceptional track record isn't adversely affected?

@UseLemfi Thank you for your help @UseLemfi
