I just know next year is going to be an amazing year for me !!!, it’s going to be God showing me that what I thought was impossible,was lost , was in fact already done .
The problem with most Kampala barbecue-grill places is that the meat is doused in BBQ sauce ,you literally can’t taste any other seasoning and some places are in spiritual bondage with Royco 👀
A neurosurgeon gone ,all the years of training,all the experience.Patients have lost a doctor,students have lost a teacher ,doctors have lost a colleague,a country has lost a rare find .Rest in peace Mr Mukasa 💔💔
As a young Ugandan,it’s quite hard to live comfortably off the profession you studied in Uganda .You have to have unique opportunities or it’s being a lawyer and selling clothes ,a doctor that imports shoes... and still grow professionally whilst hustling.
If I ended up in a mess and my friends came to Twitter and said ,”she’s a big girl ,she’ll handle it “,our friendship would become a thing of the past .
I have known
@nickopiyo
for over 10 years! One I call a true friend, he's also my OB! Our paths crossed again when he became a regular guest on a late news bulletin at NTV. And later as a regular panelist on Fourth Estate with
@kasujja
. He's offered free legal counsel to me too!
I lost my Godfather to COVID ,he was a doctor set to retire who had no business working in the middle of pandemic .We complained ,he told us he swore an oath .Guys for the sake of many health workers like him ,please take this disease seriously .
From life saving surgeries to emergency C-sections to Covid to viral hemorrhagic fevers to playing a role in changing the prognosis of patients with Advanced HIV Disease, happy doctors day to me 😊
Bi awww biteke mu Mobile money
A friend to many , a mentor , a doctor , a surgeon ,rest in peace Dr Bwete Ian .The Doctor community is shaken ,so young ,a trained ENT surgeon ,head and neck surgeon in the works .Covid !!,what an unkind foe💔💔
Praying for everyone who hasn’t had a break since the year started ,who has gone from one bad situation to another.May you get comfort ,May it get easier 💜
All graduates should enjoy this moment unapologetically..,graduating from Makerere is no easy feat,from missing marks to missing lecturers to under marking to absentee research supervisors ,strikes ,tuition struggles and basically life in Uganda.Kudos to you👏🏾👏🏾
Ladies ,stay woke the very men encouraging you to steam are the same ones infecting you with STDs and convincing you that the vaginal discharge and abdominal pain are from a UTI you got from your workplace loos.Kind regards,an actual doctor
Have you steamed your vagina since July and taken good care of it and cleaned it or you’re part of “ it cleanses itself” gang just moving with vibes and stench in public ?
I won’t be having data for the rest of the day use this message in whichever way you choose.
To all the medical doctors fresh from internship , doing poorly paying shifts & job hunting ,I know it sucks but it will get better .
If you told me three years ago that I’d be part of a successful clinical research group and publishing, I would’ve laughed .
Chronicles of a Kampala Baddie
After a month of finessing a guy and then still choosing her favorite ex
Her to the young king :”I just don’t know ,its just like a lot , I’m just going through so much atm ,I need to focus on me ,you don’t need this “
The excessive use of force by police might seem like something too distant for some of you.But if the law keeps being ignored ,don’t be surprised in the future when a traffic offense has you face on the ground with a gun to your head .It starts from somewhere
Today as the medical fraternity -Makerere ,we have lost a gem,a kind and loving colleague and a passionate medic ; Zziwa Julius . To all those that gave towards the
#SaveZziwa
campaign,who offered prayers ,thank you .May you rest in perfect peace Julius 🕊🕊
Ugandan doctors: “finding love and settling down is so hard”
Also Ugandan doctors 24/7:”I’m on shift,I’m on table ,I’m in the middle of a consultation,I’m on a Boda ,there’s a ka gig somewhere “
The medical fraternity has taken to humor in dealing with the case of “the missing kidney “aka “the kidney that was there but actually wasn’t “ . I believe it’s time to set jokes aside and critically analyze this . A thread 🧵
Dearest people ,you are all encouraged not to vote for members of parliament that voted for the removal of age limit .If given another chance ,in the name of party solidarity and at any price ,they will do far worse .
I am grateful that as I grow older ,I realize how imperfect I am,how mistake prone and how very ordinary I am . I get to keep reflecting more and learning the importance of humility. Here's to more lessons ✨💫
I cannot stress how important it is to only use medication when it has been prescribed by a health worker that has actually listened to your clinical history.There are drug contraindications & interactions,your WhatsApp Auntie most likely knows neither ,listen to a doctor.
To anyone traumatized by this whole flippant COVID conversation,by the insensitivity shown by some tweets ,I am really sorry.Your loved one isn’t just a statistic,they are yours and may they rest in peace.May healing and comfort be yours .
I hate to be the bad vibes on the TL .But as a doctor,I have to tell you that there is a price to pay for all the alcohol you drink,the cigarettes and shisha you smoke . In the future,the quality of your health might decline (slowly or rapidly) as a result of these choices .
Uganda Medical Association had a successful Industrial action almost solely by the help of interns .Senior doctors supported the sit down strike and benefited from it .The same doctors are turning their backs ,acting unbothered and intimidating the essential workforce .
Rest In Peace Dr Kiggundu,one of my former lecturers.He taught us gynecology,I remember him percussing while reading his novels .You’d be shaking and he’d gaze at you and chuckle and flip through to the next page .Covid😔
In my internship ,we were two doctors running the maternity unit .We carried out complicated vaginal deliveries,performed C-sections ,did laparotomies whilst reviewing and discharging patients .You honestly want to tell me that medical interns aren’t doctors ???
#PayDoctors
All Ugandans should be concerned about the plight of health workers .Disease is no respecter of persons ,you or your loved one will one time fall into the hands of a tired ,hungry ,unpaid and unmotivated health worker. It’s only a matter of time......
I always say ,the way you share information is as important as the information you share . This heading is misleading ,it is incomplete (ignoring other risk factors) and just sows fear amongst women
@DailyMonitor
,do better,report better.
Medical interns are the foundation of the government healthcare system .They do work beyond their pay grade or level of skill .The relationship between the ministry and interns isn't symbiotic,it's exploitation.

Africans have no culture 🤔,this level of ignorance coming from a member of society that was only able to flourish through acceptance &a housing by other societies
Now that COVID is back ,the relevance of health workers will suddenly appear .The country will go back to applauding Heath workers and showering them with “God bless yous “instead of paying them .
I find it hard to believe that y’all find birthday wishlists cringe but are okay with randomly adding people to your wedding WhatsApp groups and sending unsolicited budgets
To imagine that your epitaph will read ,”herein lies a man who spent most of his days immune to people’s sufferings and who on most occasions opted to be condescending where he could’ve reasonable “
Death doesn’t make sense .How can someone be so full of life one minute and then be no more the next ? As much as it’s the path that we all take ,you’re never ready for how sudden and permanent it is . Comfort to everyone that is grieving 💜
This is unscientific, misleading and quite fat phobic .It’s such an unhealthy message,I struggle for words .So what you’re trying to say is that all heavy people or people moving from underweight to healthy weight all have smaller brain capacity?
Did you know as your weight goes up, the size of your brain goes down?
That means less focus, worse memory, lower mood and increased risk for depression.
Your weight affects your thinking, mood, memory and all brain function.

Audit !!,audit!!,when this wave is done ,the ministry of health and all entities established by the government to combat Covid should be held accountable.We are losing people due to lack of logistics,an area where time and resources were in our favor.
We lost stalwarts in the medical fraternity, specialists and much loved teachers due to Covid. The late Dr Kiggundu collapsed while rounding and failed to get oxygen and died , The very system he served for almost thirty years ,failed him !!!
#healthsectorexhibition
People who are averse to views right or wrong are intolerant & opinionated. I said here that all lives matter when most were saying only Black Lives Matter. Here we are. Whereas the health sector has many areas to put right, my appreciation goes to them for managing

Seeing that story of Singh Katongole hoarding oxygen and yet a family friend whose dad is gravely ill was sold an empty cylinder ,I just can’t .Where are we heading ??
We need to have a sit down with some of these Kampala mixologists . These aren’t cocktails , it’s “murder in a glass “
( this is not a name suggestion for the next drink )
Intern doctors do the most work in the hospital: they admit patients ,manage ,get blood ,do investigations,surgeries ,treatment and discharge patients.Intern doctors have the longest working hours with the heaviest workload.They deserve better!!!
Did you get a chance to sleep with them ?,deal with the lice and overpopulated cells ?did you go and dig with them under the sun ? did you get to suffer TB with them ? Have you ever been admitted in hospital with them ?….stop telling lies
Yesterday I visited Kitalya prison and decided to eat the prisoners’ lunch. I was impressed by the quality of their food. Thank you to
@jbyabs
and team for making our prisons the best in Africa.
The problem is that people think an Intern doctor is just an intern . An intern doctor in Uganda is a nurse ,a pharmacist, a cleaner, records keeper and is also a security guard (when co-wives are fighting on the male ward,it’s the intern to the rescue) .Deploy interns!!
Yesterday,my people surprised me in the most beautiful way 🥺🥺🥺,a 90s themed birthday party. It’s safe to say, we are ready for the next edition of the reminisce 😂. In all, I feel very loved ❤️
Y'all had better keep this photo for the 10yr challenge,coz come 2029 ,God willing despite masters ,surgery doing me ,kids & hubby I'll be this small,this happy and beautiful 🤷🏾♀️
Congratulations to all the graduates ,it’s no easy feat . It takes a lot to start and complete something,not to mention the hurdles that life throws at you . Enjoy your day and don’t let anyway belittle your achievement.
