In the last days....last days as a house officer (may 2014)

What started as a fresh graduate of medicine walking into the four walls of a teaching hospital in Nigeria, is about coming to an end. This process has led to the production of a medical officer......produced by a system that leaves more to be begged for.

My write up about the Nigerian health sector would definitely be for another day *sadface*, today i'll be talking about something entirely different and strange to me.

I'm sure a lot of my colleagues are used to this, but for me, this is totally new.

Pediatrics happened to be my last posting during my 1yr internship period and I went into it with all the zeal i got left.Well,  a patient's mother decided to go beyond liking the way I work to liking the way I talk and then liking the way I walk *if u know what I mean*. 
The symbol of my calling.



On discharge of her "pikin" (kid) she decided to put a letter into my hands, the note I received gave me a brief epistle of her past history with men...... How she likes me as a person..... How she ain't asking me to be her lover *see gobe*.. *clearsthroat* and ending with what do I think? What do I think?!  "madam you are married" I thought to myself,  with two kids sef.

For the remaining part of the 24hrS prior to her going home with her ward,  I avoided her like a plague.  My attempt to evade her and "jejely " drive home was aborted when I sighted her on my way out of the hospital....... To be continued....

Nigerian Girl, Nnenna Eronini hits 6ft at Age 11

Image
Nnenna Eronini Nov 7, 2011 - A London based young Nigerian girl by the name of Nnenna Eronini has reached an amazing 6ft height at the age of 11 . As seen from the above photo, she is almost as twice as tall as her classmates. In fact, the youngster is at least 14in taller than any other girl in her Year Eight class. Her Mum Christiana, 44, East London — who is just 5ft 7in — said: “She isn’t self-conscious about it at all.” Nnenna, now 12, hopes to become a catwalk model. No doubt she’ll reach the top. She is definitely going to be a giant if she continues growing at this rate Photo by : Kevin Sandland Photography. Culled from Nijagists.com

LASTMA and I

Image
stuck between  been lazy and watching a Chelsea vs juventus match, i must apologize for not completing this horrible experience of mine in the hands of men who remind me of my secondary school uniform. Well back to the story. My continuous beg of this officer was beginning to annoy me from the very core of my being. I walked away from this dude to flip through my phone, frantically thinking of who I could call to rescue me from this early morning scavenger. There it was, my lawyer friend's number. Dialed his number hoping he'll have a contact to redeem me from this zombie. Ring upon ring but not a soul spoke from the other side. What other options do I have? i thought to myself. Confused on what to do, i stumbled on the camera icon on my phone. There it was, my redemption or so i thought. I instantly proceeded to making a video of the road and my car on it, revealing the fact that there was no single road sign to indicate that it was a one way. On sighting the action I ...
