As a doctor if all you do during the strike is to eat, watch BBN during the day & supplement it with FWWC at night. You are not helping yourself chief. This is the time for personal development. Engage in that research, prepare for those exams, apply for those conferences etc.

Thanks for tagging me Prof. This is quite exciting. Early exposure of med std/ surgical trainees to laparoscopic training is key to the development of Laparoscopy in Nigeria. I hope to see other medical schools/ teaching hospitals replicate this for their trainees.

Great advice. If you are having a Myocardial infarction, a berry aneurysm that is about to rupture or a bleeding peptic ulcer. Please book your Air peace to Nigeria immediately
If you're in the UK and you have emergency health need, please fly to Nigeria for urgent health care. Don't go and die waiting for NHS appointment date.

Privileged to have trained locally & abroad and so i understand the nuances. It is normal to struggle a little when you transit to a different environment to practice. The onus is on your colleagues to understand this and help you settle in rather than judge you.
