There is a story of a woman who had died in a desert. When an autopsy was done, unremarkably, it was determined she had died of multi-organ failure because of severe dehydration.
However, the pathologist leisurely read the police report and found a huge irregularity.
Our life expectancy has been decreasing since the early 90s. We have more hospitals and medical technology but people we call doctors and nurses are bottom of the barrel quality. Basically went to school to pass exams for the prestige and enjoy public sector employment.

Professional healthcare providers do not earn enough money to meet the standards society has set for them.
We attach so much status to these professions that we do not have honest conversations of the reality in the job market.

Spoke to one a few years ago. As at that time, he had an IQ in the range 140-145, I suspect.
He said he doesn't see himself as intelligent; he just sees everyone else as stupid.

Cost to switch is not always feasible because of adverse effects, monitoring, and non compliance

I'll say this again.
If money is most important to you, don't choose to study in the health sector.
With similar effort and years in training, you'd earn a significantly higher amount of money in other fields.
Don't let anyone deceive you. Research.

Anecdotal evidence dier everyone has a story.
The problem arises when we try and apply that evidence to a population.
That's why public health and studies exist
The exceptions you see are not the norm.
And don't be tempted to treat yourself as the exception.
my grand-uncle just died at the age of 102. a chain⛓️smoker of tobacco and abonsam tawa aka weed. in january, i asked him how come he’s been smoking saaa since he was in his 20s and has lived for this long and he said, drinking water constantly esp after even smoke session.

I think we all as pharmacy superintendents and owners can come together and promote a " Check your BP for free campaign " for all our clients, irrespective of age.
This could help identify most cases at the community level, leading to more awareness and treatment

At least 1 out of 100 persons in Ghana has HIV
This means in your classroom, at your work, at your place of worship, in your extended family, someone probably has HIV
That person may be your bestfriend or your sibling

1. You've significantly cut down on expenditure
2. Your savings have dwindled
3. You are less prepared to handle emergencies
4. You buy inferior essential alternatives
5. You have less fun
6. You are more risk aversed
7. You are on the path to multidimensional poverty.
At the beginning of last year, fuel was almost 5 cedis. It’s almost 18 cedis but salaries have still remained the same. On a more serious note, how are we surviving in Ghana?

The government doesn't care about you.

Tobacco, Cigarettes, Vapes.
The reason these exist is because of political lobbying and financing.
Tobacco causes the death of more than 480,000 people in the US alone.
6 times more than ALL opioids combined.
These include oxycodone, fentanyl, morphine, codeine, methadone.

To those who vape:
There is a worrying trend of lacing the vape liquid with drugs such as fentanyl and metamphetamine to achieve higher highs.
