Nigerian government will be the end of Medical practice in Nigeria & death of innocent Nigerians
So you know
Resident Doctors are going on indefinite strike across whole Nigeria from Monday
Lagos govt reduced NYSC Dr pay from 75k to 15k
Watch the Brain & spinal cord, csf drain
In case you don't know what this means I'll spell it out
Sick, dying patients in the hospitals will be sent home. There won't be Doctors to attend to them.
If you need a surgery, No resident Doctor to attend to you
All clinic appointments and surgeries will be cancelled
People that are sick won't be able to have emergency services.
People will patronise Quacks and complications and deaths will increase
In the Era of the 3rd wave of Covid ..no Resident Doctors to attend to infected patients
People won't have choice than to patronise Private hospitals
Private hospitals are already expensive..they will capitalise on this to make money
People that can't afford it won't have care. Only the Rich will have access since they can pay
Is it a crime to be Nigerian.I ask ?

Diabetes is popularly thought to be only a problem with body to control sugar.
This isn't true
Check out this thread on Diabetes, care and RT #diabetes #sugar
Your body produces a chemical called Insulin.
Insulin controls breakdown of sugar, fats, proteins and other things
Diabetes happens when you either are not producing insulin or Insulin isn't acting well.
So definitely sugar, protein, fats etc will be affected
Usually symptoms can include
-No symptom
-drinking too much water from thirst
-urinating too much
-waking up at night to urinate
-losing weight
-increased appetite despite eating so much
(This isn't to create a scare this is my personal experience and how it was managed)
Had the vaccine on my left arm.
Day 1-Well little pain at the site
I was fine till around 10 hours after when it all started. I wasn't ready
I noticed I had Fever, Body ache..well started mildly..after about an hour it got a bit bad. I could barely move
Started having chills and rigors and was biting my teeth
I could not sleep I was just rolling like a log of Eba looking for bearing
I went to get Analgesics and immediately I took it I felt a little relief.
At some point I was feeling dizzy thankfully there was an elevator for me to move
Woke up next morning with weakness, took another dose of analgesic felt better but I started having loss of appetite
Lately we have been seeing them develop DVTs (clots in the leg),Well 4 cases of Pulmonary embolism (clot in the lungs)
Due to sitting in a position for long. If you're in this category. Try getting TED stockings it reduces the risk
DVT means Deep Vein Thrombosis, when you are in one position for long, chances are the blood can stay in one position and harden to form clot (Imagine PAP)
Pulmonary embolism- the clot can move from the legs to your chest. It can kill you ( This killed GOLDIE the musician RIP.
TED Stockings means Thromboembolic Deterrent Stockings also called Compression stockings
Basically how it works it is squeezes the muscle of the legs and prevent blood from staying in the legs and reduce the chances of having clots. It is cheap and easy to wear
