As a medical officer in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria, I once was on call for five days straight.. I never left the hospital premises. I fed on junk and slept in a call room did have a bath for 3days.
One day a consultant looked at me shocked and said why at you
#NARDStrike
I slept for 2 days and damned the consequences
I resumed on day 3 and no one asked me how I was or if I was ok work just went on.
We need to employ more health workers.. 1:1 replacement is a must be
Burn out is real!!
#NARDStrike
Well he still made sure I went on a rounds with him despite the fact I looked like an escapee from a mental asylum
At the end of the fifth day I met another consultant and told him I was going home.
#NARDStrike
Looking like this I replied I have been on call for 5 days. He said why didn't you go home. I told him if I go home and there's an emergency and a patient dies I would be held responsible
He said that true but you should find time to go home.. In my mind I was like what time?
You see these doctor stories of old women putting 2k in your wardcoat after having the best consultation they have had and telling prof BB shehu (the first Neurosurgeon in the whole Northern Nigeria that you are a brilliant doctor).
It happened to me today
I’m happy
I am a doctor, consultation and prescription is how I eat same as how musicians sing to eat
If you call me asking for prescription with no intent to pay for my services I won’t answer you

I’m sure those who follow me would have seen my tweets about prof.
This particular patient came in as an emergency and with team work and prof’s calm guidance. We managed her to we discharged and planned for definitive treatment. Prof kept saying with his usual nice tone
Dr Abdullahi Jimoh successfully performs the first cerebral aneurism clipping surgery in ABUTH Zaria.He is a Professor of Surgery&Consultant Neurosurgeon.The operation was first of its kind in the whole of Northern Nigeria.Cerebral aneurysm clipping, a complicated brain surgery.
Fellow Nigerians!!!
Doctors are groaning under the pressure of work!!! One doctor now does the work of 10 doctors, 5nurses and 5 health care support workers
But FG has refused to release circular for 1:1 replacement

Mr Odanz, thank you for calling us our as is the norm on this street. I’ll gladly give you a brief on what are the causes and why you think or perceive there is nonchalance…a thread
If you have a family member admitted for a health emergency in a Nigerian hospital,the nonchalance of the Doctors/nurses here might push you into wanting to pull out a gun and blow someone's brains out. Is this how Doctors all over the world behave or it is a Nigerian thing?🤦
Okay … today was a good day… I took initial lead for suboccipital craniectomy for a P fossa tumor…
I exposed the cranium in about 5mins and prof was really glad

Lmaooo 🤣 the went on a sting operation and caught drug baroness… they are shouting they can do it without violence 🤣😂😂 where in the history of sting operation does it happen without violence
@Accoid
My reality then but the current reality of many young NIgerian doctors, it is deeply saddening that we have to go on strike to beg the government to do the needful
We are tired !!! Being a Nigerian doctor appears to be equal to a death sentence!!!!!!
You are not paid!! Your work place environment is dangerous!!!

So last night I was reviewing a patient’s mRI on my laptop and my 3yrold son came to peep and he smiled and said Abu that’s Xray??
I couldn’t be prouder…
This year 2023 was a year a lot of good things happened to me
1. Got accepted and went on a dream observership role with QEUH Glasgow (how I got the funds to go is a miracle too Alhamdulillah)
2. I was accepted into two masters programs one with university of Edinburgh…..
I just went to a private clinic to see a doctor and the consultation fee is 5k. 5k!! As in five thousand naira just to sit one on one for less than 5mins with the Doc 🤯 I don carry my ass home
I recently did a myelomeningocele and instead of the regular 5layered closure I did 6layers by tucking two edges of the thoracolumbar fascia one over the other water tight and continuous
Felt really good
This has to be one of my proudest moments since I started practising medicine.🥺
I assisted in a craniotomy. 😍😩
Man had TBI with acute epidural haematoma.
I couldn't believe I was standing over the head of a man with the skull exposed and the brain pulsating.🥺🥰

Hello sir I think she hasn’t started house Job because she’s being selective.. all her colleagues are already on their second posting. And house job posting isn’t really dependent on knowledge or awards … it’s a central posting
It’s about to go down… BUK, ABU, KASU and ATBUTH competing for one spot
