Medical students, residents and infact anyone that would love a good mentoring....please watch this interview from the first female urologist in Nigeria.
Executive Discourse | Dr. Abimbola Ayodeji Abolarinwa | NTA via @YouTube
I am happy to have her on board as one of the 8 contributors in my soon to be released book. I have 9 excellent bonus chapters in my book by doctors making strides home and abroad. You don't have to know people personally to learn from them. You can read from them or about them
I am so excited about the book "Medi-thrive"
Anticipate!
Coming your way soon.
Yorubas say, ''abeere ona kii sina." (The person that asks for directions will not get missing).
Not about asking for directions from anyone, it is by asking those who know & are willing to show you.
The book is not just for doctors....but for anyone in need of how to 'adult' this 'adulting' and still glide through like a boss. I just had to use medicine as the teaching ground.

......coming your way soon....

1. This advice is for parents and intending parents trying to do right by their children or who intend to do right by their children. Disclaimer - I am not a parenting coach. Just a parent trying to do right by her children and the society at large.
2. In a world filled with 'anyhowness' that keeps rising by the day - the best thing you can do for yourself is to be deliberate and intentional about raising your children from the very start. Especially when they're still young. When they're easily malleable.
3. When those teenage hormones are not roaring yet.

Down to the kind of friends they play with in school. Be observant. My son said some words recently and I immediately knew he was moving with someone that was the antithesis of what I wanted him to be.

1. I remembered the words of my lecturer Prof. EJC Nwanna out of the blues today. Some of my classmates failed exams and were dejected. Prof laughed in that his throaty manner and said something that stayed with me ever since.
2. "We will all fail at something at one time or the other. Be it an exam or even in our relationships. Because failure is a normal part of life. But my dear, there are some types of failures that when you fail at it, it creates a festering wound. Failure at parenting?
3. Then that is a major failure. As for your exams, if you fail...you try again! But you may never get the chance to right the wrong if you fail at something important like parenting." And with that, their moods appeared to improve.

My father also used to say,

1. I think it happens to a lot of people.But religion (not faux religion) and spirituality helps.There are some verses in the Quran that help me to take life easy and not have morbid thoughts. Even when those thoughts happen, remembering these verses help me to move on quickly.
2. The first says, "I have not created man and jinn for anything except to worship me." Through this verse, I remember that every act in life is a form of worship- kindness, goodness to fellow man, fairness, justice, love and it is up to me to uphold the tenets of worship.
3. The second says, "Every soul shall taste death." This helps me to remember the certainty of death and the uncertainty of its timing. It helps me to take life a little less seriously and procrastinate less. I must admit my dad helped in this aspect.

1. That a person is married, doesn't mean some people won't still find them attractive. The gene for attraction doesn't automatically switch off when there's a spouse in the picture. There are actually some humans of destruction that go out of their way to prey on married men
2. and women because there's no commitment involved.

What I'm saying in essence is that it is left for you, the married person to respect the relationship you have with your spouse. The outsider has no such commitment to your partner and they really don't care.
3. I have been out several times with my husband @teejayrious and I look on in amusement when some are giving him the green light. Even with my rings on, some still want to 'toast' me...lol (babe lomo)

Sometimes, we invite the third party all by ourselves.

1. It was senior registrar (SR) ward round again. Josh had crossed all 't's and dotted the 'i's. He had read about all the cases and ensured the patients were all sorted. He was the unusual fine boy; unaware of his looks and charm. He was also socially awkward bordering on timid.
2. There was always attention from the female house officers and even final year medical students which he was blissfully oblivious to. They gave him the nickname, "fine boy, no game." It was almost like he didn't see the ladies. Until he resumed medicine posting and met
3. his senior registrar, Dr. Phillips.

He had met all the other SRs first and they had reeled out the code of conduct in the unit. Easy peasy....did they know where he was coming from? Paediatrics with the 'serious' internal and external milieu where extra calls were

I have seen a lot of patients in the last few months with abnormal pigmentation and burnt skin because of the use of 'organic' creams. I had to ask some of them why they don't call out these people. I realized it was because of shame. That you caused issues for yourself.
You are using something to whiten your skin and you're practicing zero sun avoidance and protection? You're given a cream that should be the answer to your problems, yet the contents of the cream is not written on it. Why the secrecy? 2021 is coming soon, stop being so gullible.
Ask questions. Our melanin is more protective against skin cancer but we tend to pigment easily. UVA from the sun is notorious for pigmentation. Don't give the dermatologist and the real aestheticians tension headache. You damage your skin and you want it repaired in days?
