The government didn't pay doctors because they didn't work. The doctors didn't work because their pay was too small. After 2 months of striking they show up back in the hospital with nothing to show for other than the effects of hunger.
I think it's hard being a doctor wouldn't you agree? Just yesterday my patient spilled blood everywhere after pulling out his intravenous cannula cause he is semi-conscious and restless.
Even though it's not my job to clean it up we still had to set a new one while he was so restless. He keeps pulling his hand toward himself whenever you touch him.
I don't know if I want to practice anymore or practice anything conventional. Maybe I'll pick up psychology like Jordan Peterson or do graphic design...I can do that so well and I enjoy it.
It gives me PTSD
I remember having thought about boxing the few months after I stopped boxing...I'd see gloves coming towards my face whenever I closed my eyes just to realise I'm on my bed and I'm only struggling to sleep. Being a doctor gives me similar thoughts...a patient pulls out an IV cannula or the drip is not moving fast enough...I thought about these things while I rested during the strike.
Why didn't I take up something easier?
Easier how? Easier to study or easier to help you leave the country or be a little bit stable financial...You have to pick in Nigerian cause you can't have them all.
Today is my second day and I think my call duty will soon prevent me from doing my regular cycling and I promised it wouldn't stop.
I'll get busy now
If you read this...you rock!!
