DOCTORS IN UCH PERFORM BRAIN SURGERY ON WOMAN WHILE AWAKE

A popular picture of Nigerian medical doctors/ surgeons at work, parody or is this the situation in reality?

 

While the Nigerian medical system continues to be plagued by incessant industrial actions, insufficient funding, inefficient equipment and poor enumeration... While doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, lab technicians and other medical practitioners in the Giant of Africa continue to get fed up with the situation and migrate overseas for greener pastures...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yippeee!!! It's another year. Year 2014! My  superstitious mind labels this year the year of luck and fortune. 14 is a lucky number. My religious mind is still looking for a label for this year... Okay, leave my minds. Why am I here?

I'd like to, on behalf of the Medigist team, me, my co-editor Joshua Idowu, and the others wish you, our beloved indispensable viewers, our sponsors, contributors, fans, all medical students and all persons who desire a healthier living a PROSPEROUS, JOYFUL And HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

The joy we felt when we all saw our names on the admission list was magnificent, we blithely brought the list  to show our parents which in turn were happy with our achievements. The euphoria is something that would linger on in our minds. Many thoughts satiated our minds, some where to see the beautiful and eye-catching landscape the school had to offer, others were anxious to meet equally or even better intellectuals for competition sake, and a bunch of others were happy that they would see the beautiful people UNILAG had to offer.

Inspiring Success Stories

Inspiring stories of success
 
If you are serious about being successful in life then you can do nothing better than educating yourself about the inspirational stories of successful and famous people.
Many people who want to achieve success in life, career or business fail to do it because they don't know what it takes to be successful and how the road to success looks like. They just see the final result, which is the successful person, without having any idea about what this person went through.
By knowing the inspirational stories of successful people you will learn how the road to success looks like and your chance of succeeding in life will become much higher.

Below are short and quick inspirational stories of some of the most successful people that can help you know a lot about the approach required to reach success.

MEDICAL SCHOOL: A POEM BY ZAZU

From Amoebas and chloroplasts
To nucleated erythroblasts.
I always linked old ships with masts,
Mast cells have made me recast.
Rulers, rockets, rheostats,
Thank God that’s all in the past.
I would yawn as time strolled past,
Now it’s running very fast.
Have you seen my day’s forecast?
Class to class, then back to class.
My class cannot be outclassed:
From the first guy to the last
Bureaucrats and Diplomats,
Quintessential Plutocrats
Geeks & Wizards, Fat & Phat
Geese & Gizzards, ratty Brats.
Pastors, Members, Counterparts,
Photostatting copycats.
Then, when results are broadcast,
Mehn, come and see acrobats.
‘Cos no feeling can outlast
Your joy, knowing you have passed.
So much joy, but in contrast
Many skies are overcast,
For among the enthusiasts
There are those who haven’t passed.
I once thought all docs had hearts,
But now I am very smart.
And it goes far beyond that:
My brain has been torn apart.
Renin? Rennin? This or that?
Who knows glucose glucostat?
ALT ain’t alternate.
CAT is not after a rat.
FISH is not part of breakfast,
PDA is in the heart.
Hippocrates where you at?
We need to have some chitchat.
‘Cos in that oath that we chant
Some lines are irrelevant;
You should see machines we gat
They are more than works of art.
First the kidneys, then the heart,
Now it’s bone marrow transplant.
I was a genius, so brilliant,
Now I look so ignorant.
Surgery was done by humans,
Now robots have other plans.
The future is so pregnant,
Time is never hesitant.
Soon the scalpel will depart,
Stitches insignificant,
Foetuses will choose their looks,
We’ll do surgery on Facebook

Congrats to the newly admitted medical students

 

You've made it!!! Among thousands of students who applied, you were selected. Wrong, not selected like in other parts of the world, but you merited it, you passed. Medical school admission is not something you're given, you take it by force. Since the time of John Hopkins, the colleges of medicine have suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

A poem by ZAZU, a medical doctor.

What! Past 10 and I’m still sleeping!
My alarm’s been beep-beep-beeping.
Should’ve been in class since seven,
I know I shouldn’t have eaten.
Man, I have read nothing today,
I didn’t come to school to play,
All these courses I must read them,
Off to class until 5.00am.
-with coffee, and packs of chewing gum
Just to drive off sleep when it comes.

So inviting
