YOU CAN CALL THIS A DOCTOR'S RANT: A NIGERIAN DOCTOR'S SELF CARE

I believe in self care a lot especially as a doctor I believe that Medical practice is not the only thing that can bring out the best of a person like me and so to be able to function optimally at every level of demand required, self-care is very very important.

Working in a field of humanities where the demand for your skills can never go down, one is often obliged to be consistent in giving out what we have even at the expense of our own personal care

It might be difficult to even relate with such expensively in situations where little remunerations are being dispatched for the supposedly rewarding profession.

However because of the drive to always improve and be better at our skills to give your best often drives a lot of us into A sad burnout.

Yes well we must begin to tell ourself the truth no one takes care of a hero, even if the hero saved their life they will just believe that the hero will be able to save his life as well.

The common scriptural saying physician heal thyself to Jesus will also be told to the person.

So whatever your dreams or vision might be as you press towards it never forget to take good care of yourself because in the end you only owe yourself good health.

Also remember that for you to be optimum at giving out that which you have you'd definitely need to focus on yourself and maintain yourself.

There are also many stories of colleagues who have passed out at work, nothing was done to remember them sometimes just a conference to talk about how Medical practice can be stressful you are the end of such conferences no change is implemented upon and life will go on or because of the great demand.

For a while now I have not had ample time for the things I would call my hubby and a big aspect of that is caused by my work week I call my job.

Keeping people healthy and alive may never have a what to be paid for but I can't it my responsibility to society and to God to do this.

However it has become a thing of gratitude to me that I know about hive and can be active On hive as well as do my job because they are almost no reward in being a doctor, especially in Nigeria today.

The beginning of self-care is the ability to look out for yourself, it determines all the things you can do even while you are being productive to your society

I'm glad for the other things that are fun to do even in my time away from hive.

But I'll be back to writing and music and I hope that I can maintain a consistent streak alongside.
