🎭 PATIENTS, TRAINEES AND TRAINERS I’ve tried to tell my #Traineesurgeon stories using real events. However, i have decided to go full fiction; witty, dramatic, and laced with the dark humour (something i recently started indulging in). So watch the space 🤝

One of my trainers will finish lysing me during ward rounds and say i am not sweating. Then go ahead to tell his training stories from UBTH. My station was Abuja then but UBTH we have heard the news. 💀 ☠️
UBTH is keh. Have you ever heard a consultant talking about a SR "Where's that useless boy, call that useless boy for me" Right in the theatre where there are nursing students, medical students, Regs

Enough said! Doctors working hours should be regulated. You can’t trust the judgment of an overworked doctor. Even the most skilled doctors can miss what’s right in front of them when exhaustion sets in.

Decision making is the most difficult aspect of medical practice, because it combines what you learnt from medical school, your experience and what you didn't learn from school. It requires balls too.

During our visit to Ganduje Ward, we emphasized a powerful truth - 👉 We cannot achieve good leadership by giving up on voting. When we get angry and stop voting, we make it easier for bad leaders to stay in power. #CrediblePeoplesMovement
