A Christian Senior Female Doctor

Day 13

Thank God for whoever invented crocs. After 25+ hours standing and sitting, I noticed nothing. But when it was time to hit the road, my shoe spelt it out for me: I had dependent ankle swelling. It was difficult to fit into those shoes.
Meanwhile, I drew some inspiration watching the ever zealous Dr Omeke do her thing like  it was nothing. Like seriously? 5 emergency CS over the night and she kept her cool and was cheerfully looking for more work. Lord, have mercy and give me passion oiled with vision that I may enjoy my work like never before.

Retyping this day 13 now, I feel He seriously answered that prayer. Na me dey run now.😁 See Day 251.

Immediate Post-NYSC Period: A Young Doctor's Experience.

All that Caleb stated in the post above are valid and I'd love to share my personal experience. Towards the end and even after my NYSC, one of the questions I didn't like hearing was: " so, what's next? "  It wasn't like I didn't have plans or options but I think that's a question we should not be asking people who are transitioning from one phase of life to another. This is because crossroads are critical I guess and you can pray for those at such junctions or simply offer 'unsolicited advice' 😉 because such advices end up being useful on the long run, but either way shaa, don't just ask so many questions. Ok back to the limbo state: As the end came near, I had many things pulling at my attention. I considered Ilorin, Gboko, staying back at Makurdi etc. Finally I decided to go home upon the suggestion of my family, my discipler and friends. At least I go see free food chop while this phase lingered. While at home, offers were coming but ...

Your Location and Allocation

Relocations are always seem to be a turbulent time for me because I always have to ask The Lord repeatedly if He was in that destination or not. This is because if I veer off the road and land in Sodom or the like, I'll loose all my allocations and inheritance. So on this particular occasion, as the clouds brightened that day, I was on my way to go pick up appointment letter for a work in a location I wasn't yet sure it was God who was sending me or whether it was circumstances or the fact that I never imagined returning to that city for anything short-term much more lifelong  practice of Medicine. 🫠 I braced up as I went, I entered one of those aka n'enu buses which had been my regular as I was low on cash and needed to conserve the little on me. Aka n'enu wouldn't give you the best of a travel experience as the vehicles are often ricketty, with road worthiness being on a zero and they drop and pick people at every nook and cranny and as such they en...

The good doctor and her patients 🤗

Day 251 It's official! 😄😄 I have OCD for my patients or better still, I have OCD for responsibilities or I'm  just the workaholic everyone claims I am. (  I still doubt them😛) ... It's about 3 weeks to end of Surgery and I must say, I think I kinda prefer O&G and Paediatrics to Surgery sincerely ( except the free daily meals of course 😏🙄 ). I hate being on my toes always and that's what Surgery does to one (me) . In Surgery, you care for your patients 24/7 unlike other departments where once you're not on call, you can have breath of fresh air and not think about work for a minute ( 16hours actually) . After what happened two days ago I came to the conclusion that really I have this workaholic tendency (abi OCD). I and some Sisters did some studies within the week on Trusting God, and as usual, I carried it with me to live it out. So that faithful morning, my team was on call (taking Accident and Emergency cases), I came to work just to basically see pat...
