LASUCOM IN PICTURES

Picture LASUCOM!!!

From Childhood, I've been visiting The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital LASUTH, Ikeja, popularly known as General Hospital Ikeja. Since I started using my glasses, I've gotten all my prescriptions in their eye clinic and I have more doctors as friends in LASUTH than in my own school LUTH.

Despite my familiarity with the hospital, the college located behind the hospital (in fact, just behind the eye clinic where I'm a regular visitor) never came to my notice. It's very difficult for someone visiting the hospital to notice that it co-exists with another world of beauty, magnificence (and the struggle for a medical degree). I had stumbled into their hostel once when I was hungry and couldn't locate the hospital canteen. I searched for food everywhere until I finally found some (quite expensive) in an exquisite cafeteria better suited to a five star hotel. A mild drama ensued when I was mistaken for a houseman because of my formal dressing, and from the kerfuffle I managed to gather that I had just dined with Kings, sorry medicos.

I was too much in a hurry that day to really explore the school but I promised myself I'd be back to sight see. I got my chance sometime in September last year when my eye consultant invited me to assist the opthalmology residents with their mock exams. And I really saw to my eyes content that day (though not to my heart's, I'll do with another visit). I saw so much that I brought some for you to see. See and tell me if this is not the most beautiful medical school in Nigeria.

KIDNEY DISEASES : TYPES, CAUSES, AND PREVENTION by Iwu Ifeanyi Ola

A kidney is either of the pair of organs responsible for the excretion of nitrogenous wastes, principally urea,  from the blood. It is situated at the back of the abdomen below the diaphragm. It looks like a bean seed, at least that is what we are told. You can see for yourself when next you're at the butcher's. The active units of the kidney are the nephrons.

Kidney disease is one of the major causes of death in the world today. In Nigeria, it is dubbed along side heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer as  major NCDs (Non Communicable Disorders). Kidney disease has also been reported to be present at birth (CONGENITAL KIDNEY DISEASE). But beyond this, we are the architect and masterminds of the kind of body we want whether healthy or otherwise.

Google Glass: New technology, newer methods, safer surgery, better life!

A lot happened in the medical world over the past few days. Surgeries were performed, lives were saved, researches were carried out, new methods and techniques were discovered and implemented, new administrations were set, old issues were resolved, industrial actions were embarked on, and much more. We may not be able to give you all the gist that went on in the medical community recently yet(which we greatly regret), but for now let's pacify you with the headlines that made the rounds in the health sections of many newspapers.

Chikungunya: Another Mosquito situation

Tweets from the official account of the World Health Organization (WHO) have been flooding my Twitter timeline. A particular topic caught my interest. Tweets about a disease called 'Chikungunya' were difficult to ignore. Maybe it's the name, quite funny, chikungunya , couldn't help laughing. Sounds like something from Naruto. When I saw a tweet that said it was transmitted by mosquito bites,  I got even more interested. Mosquito is a vector we Africans, Nigerians know very well, in fact,  Chief Amos Quito na our padi. Who never get malaria before? Walk into any hospital and half the patients are being treated for malaria, another mosquito transmitted pathology.

So curiosity got the better of me, and I did a little research on this disease. With reliable information (avoid hoaxes, trust only reliable sources) sourced from the WHO  and the CDC USA, I was able to come up with an article on this interesting disease.

SURVIVOR, DO | EDUCATION | MAY 10, 2013

Interview season is winding down and budding physicians everywhere are clutching tightly to their hard-fought medical school acceptance letters. I thought now would be an opportune time to reflect on what I wish I had known before starting medical school.

Let's boil it down to five essential aspects of medical school that you wouldn't expect or are of such crucial importance you should be reminded of them.

MEDILAG HOTSPOTS FOR LOVERS

So you're a medico in Idi-Araba and wanna catch some fun with your *****, these places you help. At your own risk tho



MEDILAG’S BEST KEPT SECRETS

In a school that literally never sleeps, it’s hard for lovers to get some privacy to do ‘what lovers do’ but believe it or not as impossible as it may sound, whether noon or night, couples in Medilag have come up with exclusive lovers’ spots, where they brazenly carry out ‘acts’ of love. Writers club put nose to ground and sniffed out some of the secret places couples go to be alone. Well guess after this, it would no longer be a secret, Sorry guys…

10 Labour Ward Medical Students’ Call Room: We are starting with this place because the school now also knows the alternate use to which the call room is put thanks to some couples who forgot to pack all their bag and baggage and left behind a used contraceptive for one of the cleaning ladies to discover. Now, you also know why for some time medical students that were not on call couldn’t get in to the labour ward.
9 College Library: the library all over the world has always been a romantic haven for couples who like to live on the fast lane; well Medilag is not an exception! Lovers that can’t wait for the covers of darkness, hide under the covers of bookshelves. Yes, they are responsible for the creaking noise you hear while you are trying to read!
8 Stairs Of Old Great Hall: If you have ever wondered what the first floor of the Old Great Hall is used for, the couples of Medilag have the answer. Anytime between the hours of 10:00pm and 2:00am, if you climb this staircase, you run the risk of running into half naked people swapping saliva.
7 Former Football Field: the football field closure was an all round tragedy, both for sportsmen and Medilag couples. Where else could you go to make out, look at stars and feel the grass scratch your back and yeah of course, play football?
6 Anatomy Lab Car Park: reserved exclusively for couples with cars. Yep! Your guess is as good as mine; all the cars parked outside don’t belong to the anatomy staff. They don’t stay up that late…
5 London Bridge: what is the London Bridge? Well, the London Bridge gets girls into boys’ hostel after visiting hours and also houses couples who don’t mind a little P.D.A. Where is the London Bridge? Well there are 3 of them and they run between blocks 1 and 2.
4 S.O.N. Field: popularly known as the most blessed ground on the premises of Medilag going by the number of prayers that go on there daily. Well, unknown to many, as the prayer warriors pray fervently, the lovers are committing all the atrocities that are forbidden by God right on the same field!
3 Hall 36 Car Park: ever heard of a drive in cinema? Well, Hall 36 is Medilag’s equivalent of that except that there is no projector, no screen and no movie but wound up cars, hugging, kissing and well.. you get the picture!
2 New Great Hall Staircase: it’s convenient, why? It’s close to cold room, so when a boy is tired of reading all those medical jargons and needs a break, he grabs his girl and heads up the new great hall staircase and they are entertained by the music from the fellowship going on downstairs.
1 Luth Cafeteria: might not be the first place that comes to mind when you are hungry but it is definitely on a lot of text messages if you know what I mean. The maze like verandah keeps inquisitive security men away, while the tall flowers keeps off curious eyes. Recently, a couple was found frolicking on a carton on the verandahs of Luth Cafeteria and it made good talk between security guards but it also shed light on what is Medilag’s best kept secret when it comes to romance…the Luth Cafeteria!
