Shady Meds!!!!

Wetin dey worry our people?? Haba!!!!

The year is just 7 days old and the material I have for this series is ah-may-zing!!! Is that how trifle we are?!!

You are a TTC couple. Then, you, the woman, allow someone to poke around your body without your consent in a less than sterile environment where you notice the many unethical sharp practices going on and you still stay.
The same 'doctor' tells you he found a fibroid without a scan and you believed him. He did not conduct any relevant tests and you believed him too. Then the clincher. He gives you a cocktail of medications plus the herbal ones which you ignore every defined commonsensical thought and accept.

Tell me why you won't get sick?!!

There are mistakes one should never make in this age of knowledge which can be freely obtained from knowledgeable sources-online and offline. Don't just accept stuff without questions!!!

I say it now and I will keep saying it. Verify everything you are told by any doctor. If it seems off, it probably is because of the abundant quackery and sharp practice in the health sector.

When you are like this couple that are TTC, please, see a qualified Fertility specialist. There are a few certified ones. They don't come cheap but they get the job done. And Facebook posts do not qualify as a doctor's visit!! If you are told you have a fibroid, it is not a death sentence. See a qualified gynaecologist for proper consultation and treatment. More often than not, you don't need treatment for fibroid unless it poses a big problem to you. Besides, you can only see a fibroid during a scan of the abdomen, not by looking at fine face!! Be guided.

Also, learn about any medication you are given. And note any side effects so you can report back to the doctor and the treatment regimen can be reviewed. Never ever take anything at face value with regards to your health. You are not a house planted on a spot. You have a brain and a smart phone access. Use them!!

Organ failure is a major complication of drug misuse. People have even died from reactions to medications prescribed for them without any thought to side effects and other issues. Then, why would someone prescribe medications for you without you doing due diligence? You sure need a shrink.

Remain healthy and wise, my people.

Till next post...

Faithing it out...Not!!!

I had a very interesting conversation with a dear friend today that inspired me to put up this post. Being in the health profession puts one front and center of some of the most harrowing life changes one can experience. In fact, if one is not careful, you become desensitized and start questioning your humanity but I digress.

So, our interesting conversation birthed two posts and this is one of it.

Ogbeni, it is a real wa for you o!!! Ah!!!! Na so e dey hungry you to play with your life?! The doctor has looked you up and your diagnosis requires that you get regular dialysis to remain in good health and possibly reverse your condition but what do you do? You decide in your infinite "wisdom" that going home and "living by faith and positive confessions" was the best way to go. Good luck to you. So, what was your distraught family members looking for in the hospital when your situation was past what dialysis can resolve.

Do you know that there are times when dialysis is not enough? So, why didn't you just stick to the treatment plan with your doctor at least until it doesn't work anymore? Coming back when your organs had completely failed and you were this close to pack up is just another psychological trauma on your doctor and carers o. Or do you think health workers are not humans with feelings too? So, you did not realize that failure to keep you alive impacts on their careers. Years later, they are still reviewing your case to find out where the ball dropped while maybe your family is still mourning and blaming them when the blame should be placed where it belongs- Your Criminally Insane Decision to Ignore Medical Advice. Chai!!! Ogbeni, stop eet!!!!!

Please!!! This is a new year o!! Resolve today to take your health seriously. Talk with your doctor about your condition, if you have one. Discuss diagnostic and treatment options and choose the best one with the best prognosis. Trust me, your life is also important to the doctor. Do it today and enjoy a great quality of life.

Till next post, remain healthy and wise.

You know I love you, right?

Your Friendly Health Worker...
