DOCTOR OBINNA

DOCTOR OBINNA
 
‎I've read and heard stories of how patients die in our Nigerian hospitals due to doctors negligence. Most of them die due to lack of money to pay deposit. Even in an emergency case. 


I took an uncle to Doctor Obinna's hospital this morning for treatment. After attending to my uncle we chatted for a while then he stepped out because he needed to do something for his dad. 
Few minutes latter I heard a man shouting outside 
       " abeg make una help me before I die oooo
          I don dey bleed since morning " 

I went out to see what was going on  and met a young man crying, he was bleeding seriously. I asked the man ‎what happened to him he said. 

" I go where we dey shit oh! I go shit I come dey climb
              The block wey dey there my leg no good e come 
               Shift I come fall another block come hit me 
                Me for leg. I don dey bleed since morning 
                 Abeg make una help me stop the blood
                  Before I die,  I no get
                 Money na only one thousand I hold".  
doctor Obinna washing his feet.
 
 
Just then the nurse said wait I don call doctor him dey come. 


True to her words Doctor Obinna came to see the guy, I felt he was going to ask him plenty questions  and ask for deposit before treatment. To my surprise he entered the hospital wore his gloves told one of the nurses to get a bucket of water for him, he took his hanky washed the guy's feet. The guy in question didn't even look normal to me. I was expecting Doctor Obinna to tell his nurses to attend to him, so you can imagine my shock when he attended to the guy himself. 
 
Doctor Obinna paid attention to this guy like a nursing mother to her child. Till I left I was expecting Doctor Obi to ask for deposit because I wanted to see his reaction when he finds out the man  has just one thousand naira. Till we left the hospital Doctor Obinna didn't not ask for money he was busy cleaning the injury.


Then I said to myself if all Nigerian Doctors are like Doctor Obinna the death rate in our hospitals will reduce.

    Well Done Doc! God Bless You Really Good For Not Ignoring That Young Man To Bleed To Death. It Is Also Our Responsibility To Help People During Emergencies, Not Just To Take Picture And Selfies Straight To The Social Media. Though Sometimes, We Cannot Really Do Much Because Of Being Tagged An Accomplice By The Authorities. I Heard The a present Government Has a Relaxed The "Police Report" Thing Before Treatment; But Hey! Don't Quote Me, #YouAreOnYourOwn# OYO.

  Few days ago I went to Everyday supermarket at GRA to get some stuffs, as we drove pass where they sell chicken, I saw a lady that used to live on my street, first of all I was surprised to see her because it's been ages, and then again I was staring at her face and was wondering what went wrong. This lady used to be one of the prettiest ladies on my street, smooth skin, fine legs and all. Every man wanted this lady at the time. There was a particular guy that did everything he could to get her but didn't and I'm in front of her and I'm thinking if that guy sees her now he won't even give her a second look. One thing I liked about her  then was her personality she was a very sweet and cheerful lady. I looked at this lady and was wondering why she's not beautiful anymore. A lot of questions went through my mind at the time. Was she sick? Is she married? If yes is she married to a monster or is she Divorced? Did she lose her job? Then It hit me regardless of

FACING MY FEAR

Image
Welcome to my blog, Wow!!!! It feels good saying "my blog"!  I know that I am nervous and excited at the same time, but nothing can be compared to the joy that I am feeling right now. Words cannot explain my feeling of accomplishment. I honestly can't believe that I am starting my own blog, it's like a dream, somebody should just pinch me. Lol!! Before I bore you guys with my excitement and the phrase "my blog" let me share the reason for this excitement.  Over the years  my friends have asked me  why I am not blogging  and the answer I always gave them was that I am not a good writer neither am I a grammarian. I always see myself as not having what it takes to be a blogger.  The more I thought about blogging, the more I loved the idea but what to write or how to put my thoughts in writing has always been my major fear so i've always shoved the idea of blogging aside.  My friends will always say to me  "Chika you're doing great on fa

Pains of Nene.

  I was watching a Nollywood movie " pains of Nene", and I was wondering why some married women actually allow a third party in the name of friends ruin their home. The movie basically is about a married woman who befriends a group of women despite her mother's warnings. She takes every bit of advice they give to her not realising their hidden agenda to send her out of her husband's house so they can lay their hands on her husband's wealth. First of all the man is everything a woman desires. He's rich, handsome, caring, he's faithful, a loving father to their kids, he spoils her silly with money he's the perfect man with no flaws. You know the kind of man you only see in the movies. Yep!! That movie perfect man. Bottom-line they succeeded in sending her out of her matrimonial home and planted a lady in the home to help them with their evil plans.   they are always the first to tell you all he did wrong.     I don't need soothsayers t
