Salute to all the doctors out there in the world.

I understand how it feels when no one understands you just because you are a doctor.

I understand what it means to put everything on line to save a patient even when the relatives keep abusing you.

I know what it means to stay away from families and loved ones since medical school days.

I know what pressure is. Success and failure dragging you and you also stretching towards the good things of life.

I know what it means to attempt all questions in exams because you have to treat all patients that come to your clinic.

I understand what it means to keep working even though you also need to see a doctor.

I know it’s a calling, the calling I chose a long time ago and I’m still committed to it because I love you, my patients all over the world.

I want you today to show some kindness to a doctor. You may not know all his needs but he surely needs some love and kindness from you.

May God bless doctors all over the world.

what you should know about meningitis vaccine

Source: bit.ly /2od4WT4 Still on meningitis I understand how you feel if you either live in the meningitis belt of Africa or you're travelling to Africa very soon. Meningitis happened to be a vaccine preventable disease that we are unprepared for this time around. The issue this time is that there's a new strain, in simple terms, a relation of the usual type of the common meningitis bacteria that we have been used to, but we are not even prepared for this. To cut a long story short, I'll like to tell you more about meningitis vaccine. Everybody in Nigeria needs a shot in my opinion because you may never know when you will have to travel to an endemic area. That might be difficult but people in meningitis affected states should at least get a shot of the vaccine first. Things you need to know about meningitis vaccine: what is a vaccine: A kind of medicine which helps your body fight off foreign diseases causing organisms. Usually, an injection bu...

Is it Malaria or typhoid?

The malaria-typhoid controversy Can you relate with this? If you have grown up in Nigeria, I bet you can relate with the malaria-typhoid controversy. Some people have experienced feeling hot and having a headache at one point or the other and they felt it was Malaria so they went to the pharmacy or (patent medicine store) to get some form of treatment but did not get better after 3 days. However, when they started inquiring from some people they tell them "maybe it's typhoid o, you better go and test for typhoid or just treat typhoid". Most of these people go to private labs and get a widal test and they tell them "oh, so you have typhoid". To cut the long story short. They still treat typhoid and still do not feel good. This cycle continues until they get to see the doctor in the hospital. Let's set the records straight because you need to stop wasting money and time treating the 'street opinion'. STOP BELIEVING THE LIE Ma...

Ebola.. Resounding the drums of prevention ...

What we should do to prevent another epidemic. The drums of Ebola has started to sound in Africa again. This time, Ebola cases have been confirmed in DR-Congo. While we yet wonder where and when this started, the answer to this may not be found on time, but we definitely know some facts about Ebola. Ebola is a viral hemorrhagic fever and it is very deadly. It can kill in a few days. It can easily spread through contact with body fluids of an infected person. e.g vomit, urine, faeces. Ebola is yet to have a cure. It can also spread through panic. A community-wide panic increases the risk of transmission of Ebola. There has been a vaccine trial which was declared to be successful. (It means we would soon be able to prevent people from getting infected) If you’re thinking about what you can do to stay safe and keep yourself from getting infected in case you come near a ‘not yet diagnosed’ case, then we got you covered. Bring back our hand ...

Healthy people, healthy nation.
