Let's dream with our eyes wide open💰
Everyday is different, and everyday brings different troubles and different joys. And the biggest highlights of my days sofar are almost always patient related. Those who burst out in tears, some confide in you, some shout at you, some are thankful, and some curse you. Once I was clerking a 45 year old patient , […]
Sundays are meant to be sunny days, and church days for Christians. But I haven’t been to church in months. This whole past week, I’ve been thinking about how Sunday service will be like at Watoto church Gulu. I literally spoke about it daily. But this morning served me with a different kind of sauce. […]
Weeekends. What are weekends? Is it a person? Is it food? Is it the president of Uganda? Is they we? Are we they? We don’t know such things as weekends here in internship. Its 6pm, I’m not even on night duty, and I’m still on ward working my ass off as I should be doing. […]

26th October 2019 . I could never be happier and more thankful to God. When I prepared for my graduation, it was more about what will I wear. The dress, the shoes , the hair, the cake, the food. I kind of forgot to prepare myself emotionally. Didn’t think I’d cry so much while giving […]

Today I met a colleague returning to his room to rest. He stopped me and he had one sincere and polite request….. He wanted a therapeutic hug. Last week , I was called to ICU to confirm death. Monitor read that the patient had died about 20 minutes ago. There was no need for me […]

Been in Gulu for 3 weekends now, and this is the first time we decided to go out. First of all, there’s a swimming pool around the hospital premises. Its free for staff. My evening kinda started there. I didn’t swim though. Just watched my crazy friends show each other into the water. I survived […]
Internship has taught me lots of things sofar. Resilience, patience but most importantly, decision making . Growing up, I have made very few major life decisions on my own. My parents have done most of it for me. What course to study, how to study, how to read, what to wear, what is important, what […]
