@mangekimambi Mungu wangu😭😭

OMG!! 😭😭😭😭 hii ni Mortuary ya Mwananyamala. Alieachia video hii anahofia mnooo maisha yake ndo maana imemchukua muda sana kunipa video hii. Anasema kuwa polisi walikuwa wanachukua simu za manesi na madokta wanafuta video na picha na kuwatishia wasirekodi kitu, yeye alikuwa na simu 2 so akawapa simu ambayo alikuwa hajarekodi chochote wakaridhika.

@simplify_drugs It increases plasma volume, which can worsen fluid overload and exacerbate pulmonary congestion.

Why is mannitol contraindicated in acute pulmonary edema 🤔

May we also #PrayTogether for #Tanzania, where, following the recent elections, violent clashes have broken out, leaving many victims. I urge everyone to avoid all forms of violence and to follow the path of dialogue.

@BongeLaAfya Sahihi. Huu ni ukweli mchungu. I've been there, na nimeona wanavyohangaika wakirudi. Siwezi kushauri mtu asome hiki kitu, ni upotevu wa pesa na muda.

1. Unapeleka mtoto nje kwa pesa nyingi akidanganywa anakuja kuwa daktari bingwa wa moyo, kumbe anakuja kupima ECHO na ECG, 2. Sio kwa ubaya ila hata Nurse anapima ECG, nani atakuajiri ili upime ECHO tu? 3. Soko la ajira tayari limekua gumu 4. Kujiendeleza huwezi, unaishia kusoma social sciences au MPH, kama lilikua lengo sawa, ila kama ni kutibu umefeli. 5. Ndoto ya udaktari/kutibu inakua imeishia hapo 6. Ukitaka kutibu Tanzania, lazima ufuate miongozo yake ili usajiliwe, hizi pediatric science sijui cardiology technology unapoteza muda 7. Bora uanze na CO training, kisha usome MD.
