Healing

Day 338
I'm Currently doing Internal Medicine Rotation and I bless God's name today for the gift of life, salvation, strength and resilience to carry on with my mission here on earth. The past couple of weeks had me praying for renewal of strength and zeal, because I actually came to the end of me as a House Officer. I felt drained by the first 3 postings, I felt Internal Medicine was only going to get the crumbs left of me as the other Rotations already took bigger bites off me. So I had to pray repeatedly for God to give me zeal and passion to work so that I can be at my best for my patients. What made the situation worse was the fact that Internal Medicine was one of my worst Postings back in Med School. After asking God for help severally, I think I forgot to keep on asking but He answered anyway. As the days went by, I felt alive again and found zeal to work with. 

Days into the posting, I became really sick. I hadn't been that sick in 19 years, I battled it, it wasn't in my nature to just be off work and helpless but I couldn't help it. It was so bad that taking a bath was really a struggle. Medications weren't doing their bit, I got paranoid that it was probably COVID-19 🥺. To the glory of God, I recovered after 10 days. I worked for another 10 days and had the second wave of sickness. This time around, it didn't peak gradually but hit me straight with intense fever and malaise. The investigations done weren't suggestive of anything in particular. I had to treat with intravenous medications because I needed speedy relief as I couldn't 'afford' to be off work again. I didn't have maximum support like I had the first time, I prayed and believed God. Enough of the ill health, because by His stripes, I was healed. Our healing is already a won victory, I only need to work in the knowledge of it. 

After the episodes of ill health, my eyes opened more to what compassion really means. Having been a patient, I had a clearer image of how I should care for my patients. So perhaps my ordeals served as part of the answers to the prayers I made at the beginning of the posting.

Today as I write, my body is sore, I have muscle cramps all over due to the CPR I did two nights ago. It was the most intense and the only successful chest compressions I've ever done, and the man regained full consciousness and I led him to Christ. News reaching me this morning was that he had another arrest last night and we lost him. I'm not so pained, I'm grateful I was able to minister to him. I learned from his bedside that what Heidi Baker said about healing is true. She said that our duty is to love while God's duty is to heal the person. While I worked on that chest, I did give it my all in love, I combined the physical procedure with prayers. I've also learned not to procastinate my workout plans 😄😂😂🙅🏋️🏃🙊🙈as some procedures require physical strength and agility. I also learned to seize every opportunity, because I remember that one of the reasons I wanted him to live was so that I can minister Christ to him and God granted me that.

In all, I thank God for the lessons of this final Rotation, I thank God for what He is shaping me into, for those He has placed above me, for the lessons learned under them and for this season of my life which has remained exciting. To Him be all the glory. Amen.

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...

What will People Think

One fateful afternoon shortly after I turned 17, I had market errands to run. Mum went to work and had outlined things for us to cook for lunch and dinner. It was my turn to go to market that day so I made the list and counted the money and arranged how I'll bargain to see if I'll have some change (w were allowed to own the change). However an issue came up.  Since that morning, I'd been having this abdominal ache which I wished away, hoping it would resolve after some bowel movements in the white room. The ache kept worsening and I was tempted to ask one of my cousin's to help me run the errands so I could take her turn next time but I advised myself against it, saying that she won't understand and may think I'm feigning an illness (and of course I'd lose the change to her). Due to this, I couldn't leave for market in the morning hours which was our usual. I waited for some relief and once I got the slightest strength, I strode to the market which was a...
