Our life expectancy has been decreasing since the early 90s. We have more hospitals and medical technology but people we call doctors and nurses are bottom of the barrel quality. Basically went to school to pass exams for the prestige and enjoy public sector employment.
I kid you not. One of our lecturers on the ward legit responded to an answer with, "stop the nkwasia labs na you're wasting the patient's money."
Meanwhile too, the labs all need o.
From med school doctors are taught to adjust to the poor health care system in Ghana. Go and say you’ll request a CT scan during an exam for someone in Ghana and see if you’ll be given the marks. A doctor in Ghana will work based on what is available period.
My first day on duty;
A neonate, barely a day old, had apnoenic episodes throughout the night. I came in the morning to take over from a colleague who had been bagging throughout the night. I spent the whole day standing by the incubator bagging the child while my boss called 1/
You get a newborn who is struggling to breathe and as you are bagging you will be begging the child to breathe because there’s no ventilator. We can’t bag for hours. After sometime we will have to let you go.
I can’t count how many we have had to ‘let go’.
Ghana failed them.
You know how big a deal it is when your government cant employ doctors in spite of its enormous patient to doctor ratio?! We have people leaving cos they're underpaid and you cant even employ the youngins too. This isnt normal, and it shouldn't be seen as such.

Responsibility for what Exactly??? What did he do wrong? Did u watch the game? Did any of the players look like they wanted the ball????? Should he step onto the pitch to execute his own game plan?? They couldn't string a decent run of passes. WE couldn't hold on to the ball.!!!
This thing eh... I asked a patient how he was doing, to which he responded," I'm fine sir.". I just turned to go for my laptop, and all I heard was "Doc, the patient is unresponsive." Erhh?? Just like that, your man go.
Chale... you go fit feel some kind of pain, then your throat all go lock, you no fit swallow saliva sef. Man fit tinop like 1am dey count louvre blades. Herh.

Look, money without direction is weak. An example? Manchester United. Pep's spending was focused on one thing- his style of play (his vision). He's spent a lot of money cos his style of play requires top players. The only way to get top players is by spending big.

Lmao! Presec boys ankasa we plenty. The number of times I've met familiar faces so many years after school eh.. "oh you go presec? You dey look familiar waa. Wossop? Everything cool? Vim!" Then we move. Some sef be seniors them gimme tough time o. We still dey vibe If we meet🤣
Holiday, but you for go job secof you recite oath during induction. A oath you're held to for the entirety of your career. Politicians would swear on the Bible and turned around to be the devil's incarnate without a sniff of accountability whatsoever. I vex o

We are at a point where there would be no harm in starting Gomes or Greenwood. We've seen enough from the "seniors" to know our team is already shit. The kids have a lot to offer. And while they're still inexperienced, there's a lot to look out for. Fans want to be hopeful.
I agree, John. Greenwood should have started and I could see an argument for Gomes though not against Leicester. I would much prefer those two to be replacements for injuries though I understand why Ole has chosen this line-up whilst I do not fully agree with it.
OnG OSCE; I wasn't expecting pelvic examination. I only just heard about it in the queue about to enter the OSCE area. The whole exam was like a Sark verse. Examiner was like "Huh" "hmph" "erh" "hmm". Then I heard, "Gentleman it's okay, just leave."
You then madrid dey play UCL semi-final, and you start faking injuries to waste time when it's just a 1nil lead in the 80th minute?? Are you madddd???
😂😂😂😂
Lmao and oh we have to wait for months to know "who got paid the highest" just so the rest of us can tell how much we are actually owed.
If you ask me today today how much my salary is, I don't even know.
Finding out doctors have to pay a Bribe to get their own salary has been a very nasty revelation. Bro after all the horrible working conditions, the money they deserve to get too, they have to pay for it. Then if them dey lef go different country you dey do like you shock.
Ha ha ha
Me I dey sick, I hear say you too you dey sick. I travel come your side as per "intentional boyfriend" because "what is love without sacrifice?".

And that’s problematic because there are very few approved internet resources available for doctors. Any random link to a medical information can contain life threatening information.
I can do that too and I’m not a doctor so what’s their use?
During ward rounds, the surgeon asked for the features of Gastric Outlet Obstruction. Bro legit said "Explosive vomiting". Surgeon laughed so hard he had to hold on to the drip stand. Trying to catch his breath he said, "I wasn't aware this patient was eating grenades".
had just been occupied by another baby who needed to be on a ventilator. Tell me, how do you console the mother after you lose this child? That child could even be my baby in 2-3 years. The pain in the mother's eye "nti doc yɛbɛ dɛn?".
I gbaa sef for the 1st tweet. Tsw. I'm tired o. I've only worked for over a year and I'm tired. Everything seems to be going downhill.

You should have stopped at "I'm no doctor"! I've had back aches, couldn't kick a ball but was fit enough to enough to dance and do other stuff! Football is different. There's more demand on your body. And yeah, I'm a doctor. 😊
Presec, form 2. A lot has happened since then. Messed around and finished my MBChB this year. For me, it's a big W cos I never thought science was my thing. Hated everyday of science class after switching from business. To more 'unexpected' W's 🥂

Where are you now?
Reflect and appreciate your growth and tap into that for the next 9 years. You only need time.
All responses gathered will be threaded to this tweet 😉
Tweets like this used to annoy me, but I pretty much do not care anymore. My only offer is that you contact a friend who's a dr and ask to spend a day with them while they're on duty. Just follow them around for 1 day. Come and share your experience when you close.
Doctors and hospitals are more concerned with patient’s bills than saving their life. Hospital policies have so many cases of very little humanity left in them
You pulled down a whole hospital that served a densely populated suburb of your capital, erected a billboard praising yourself for building a replacement. Till date, you no put kiosk sef for there. Are the La people not human beings too? Are they not equally Ghanaian?
You baab!!!!
People dont even have money to buy drugs. Mothers would beg you not to admit their very ill children. A mother would watch her child suffer and out of hopelessness would beg you not to admit the child that clearly needs it. Is this not torture??!!!
It’s very sad at this moment as a healthcare professional in Ghana, sick people are receiving treatment in plastic chairs, our wives are delivering on the floor, no ambulances to transport emergencies, Doctors are not being paid, nurses are leaving, inadequate resources and poor
Funny thing is, I’ve never acted as a "Karen" in my life — but in Ghana, I find myself fighting for services I paid for.
It seems like a few screws are loose …
