Let's dream with our eyes wide open💰
I had a hard laugh with a patient today. I have never laughed at a reason for why someone decided to seek health care, but this one killed me. Mother , 6 days in puerperium following cesarean section traveled 3 districts to reach here. Her concern was that her pain that disappeared completely and suddenly […]
Medical legal issues are becoming a thing in this country. I don’t know whether to attribute it to patients getting to know their rights or to the increasing rates of unemployment among lawyers….no offense lawyers, Doctors are unemployed too. So today, I witnessed an interesting senario. Lawyer X heard of a story about a certain […]
The work- life balance is quite challenging. Somehow I’m tryna keep it together with the fact that I’m an intern. But My social life has just gone from 50% to 10% . I think life should be more than just eat, work, sleep and text. My man is very many districts away, And my chess […]
