They just called me for a Nigerian COVID patient they want to extubate but weren’t sure if he didn’t understand English or was just agitated/delirious. I walked in the room and greeted him in Yoruba. He stopped fidgeting and looked at me, his eyes lit up and he started crying 😭
He did so well! I explained each step to him and told him not to fight, but to use that energy to breathe and cough instead. He did such a good job! He can’t talk for a few hours but they took his restraints off and he gave me two thumbs up before I left 🙌🏾
@Kingwole
Thank you! If he does well tomorrow I’m going to ask his nurse to play KWAM 1 for him. They do music therapy to help reduce ICU delirium and my guy needs some faaji tunes abeg

Babies need lipids for brain development.
Ain’t nun fat in this pear apple pea concoction.
People really need to learn NOT to listen to celebs on certain things 🥴
I posted snaps of me watching Homecoming, and someone took it on himself to send me a message talmbout “Beyoncé doesn’t know you exist, relax”
So I replied “And not a single player in Arsenal cares about your existence either”
Bros don vex 😂
Went to check on him before I left for the weekend, through the window. Still breathing on his own. Nurse had his tablet on YouTube and I could see the KWAM I Legacy Album artwork. And I could see his head nodding.
Oshey baba mi! 🙌🏾
So freaking happy

I hope they send her to the village not even the city. Like fetching water from the well and borehole and grinding pepper on a stone village. Slap your mom?! My chest is tight 😭
A rally was held today by
#WhiteCoatsForBlackLives
and I thought maybe a few people would show. When I tell you this place was PACKED. Everybody in masks. Marching in 90 degree heat. Posters about racial health disparities. I was really touched man.
@iheartdatrian4u
For extubation to be successful we have to actually turn down the sedation medicine so they can maintain their airway and breathe independently. I’ve heard a lot of patients say extubation was more stressful than intubation for them because of this but that’s how it works ☹️
@ozzyetomi
This is the result of women not being allowed to talk about this. It is a solid fact that having children (if you are actually vested in their day to day welfare) sets you back on all your other goals tremendously. But if you say it out loud and they demonize you 🙃

Just had to educate someone on Haiti’s tax to France yesterday. People don’t know history and just want to talk right wing populist nonsense.
@Dimmaumeh
Na so dem dey do.
The day I saw the culprit, identified as Amos, reaching for my LaNeige Lip Mask and I shouted excuse me! He said it always makes his lips feel soft.
Always. So how many times have you used it that I haven’t caught you?! Jehovah
Like what is the issue? Week after week people spend $$$ on jerseys, tickets to watch games, play video games based on these teams and players, insult each other and banter endlessly about the game. But because Beyoncé doesn’t know I exist I should chill.
@Luvvie
Radiology here.
Skull xray to assess for subq air in the skin - which could mean that stuff has infiltrated through.
CTA of the head and neck to assess blood supply and show if her scalp is still perfusing and alive, or if they need to just peel it off 🥴
This Yoruba/Igbo thing is wild because the things being said sound EXACTLY like what white people say when black people complain about racism. Like, almost verbatim. Human nature is so basic.
@jmugele
Dr Mugele I’m 100% sure you don’t remember me - but you were my preceptor for several shifts at Methodist years back. I learned a crap ton from you on how to be a good, empathetic healthcare provider. I hope you stay safe and well as you begin this journey. Thank you ✨
@bizzleosikoya
this man is deeply troubled and everyone keeps praising each demonstration of craze as a “strategic move”, what is it going to take to call it what it is 😕
finally awake. all I will say is those of you going to see him in Lagos and London this December should drink Lucozade before you go.
this is not a “DJ 1-2-3 let’s go!”show.
Mans gave us live band, live dancers, and live goat you kno 😂
@frau_ug
Racism wastes your time. Instead of just being able to achieve your goals or enjoy your leisure, you’re stuck doing constant tactical thinking and strategizing.
@t0nit0ne
after seeing people answering questions about the name of the street they grew up on, first pet’s name, mother’s maiden name and the like on here for shits and giggles is when I realized arguing/engaging with some is a lost cause frfr
@lolaloveandart
they’ve said what’s in their chest last last. All the “nobody writes like that or uses those words, it’s gotta be AI” come from a deep sense of self importance. And hidden within that is thinly veiled condescension.
we go dey ok sha, I’m just glad they finally said it 😂
@Carnage4Life
I had a hospice patient who kept saying his brother was waiting for him outside the door, but he was listed as an only child.
Discussing with his daughter, she told us he had a little brother that died in a well when he was 4 & the patient was 6 ☹️
he died shortly after

Broda no be by diet and exercise o! If your spleen starts misbehaving later they can trace it back to a remote plasmodium from the malaria. All join 😂
To everyone that interacted with this tweet - Baba was able to wean completely off oxygen and has gone home to his family. He got tearful again when I came to translate his discharge instructions and prayed for me.
I shed a thug tear lol

@LaBeautyologist
Thank you. Because I was looking at the screen like 🧐 yes sis I see the spots but some of us have hieroglyphics on our faces damn near 😂
@LaBeautyologist
This woman needs a derm consult and they need to try and take that layer of hair and (likely) dead scalp off with general anesthesia at this point.

big facts. if the service is too good, the food usually doesn’t slap.
now a waitress chewing gum with an attitude? certified banging oxtails 👌🏾
So I found out that I have an antigen in my blood that helps sickle cell patients via exchange transfusion.
I DO NOT like needles - but I’m signing up to be a regular donor because every single sickler friend I had growing up is dead now.
@Kingwole
At this point you can see the wheels in her head turning like “Damn this girl just insulted my life like this.” Right before she went “I need 5 minutes, I’m so vexed” 😭
@officiallyk10
I made a decision a few years ago to avoid stories of Black trauma. I will read it and know the history - but I can’t be carrying rage in my spirit from watching it re-enacted. No thank you
@davidoghe
I loved this. My spot was always to the left of my grandma’s bed behind the door - so when they opened the door to call people to start cooking in the morning they wouldn’t see me at first 😂
