Ona huyu. There are hospitals that have been building a sub county hospital theatre for the last five years. Guess what, they don’t even have staff to work in it hata wakimaliza.
In KNH, at night there is one theatre for neurosurgery emergency, another for orthopedic although can be shared with others. Then only one theatre operates at night in main theatre for emergencies. This is because there is severe shortage of nurses and anaesthetists. Unawezangoja iende emergency theatre hata siku tatu au nne.
But general public doesn’t know this. When HCWs complain and raise issues no one sees this side.
You are Kenyan. Yet one can detect the familiar albeit subtle grain of destructiveness in your mentality. So, your wish is for Kenya to close medical school, and cancel medical licenses for existing indigenous medics. Blind hatred. I have little doubt left in my mind that you would actually walk into theatres where Kenyan doctors are operating and spray them with bullets, and in lecture theatres or tutorial rooms where medics are learning, to blow them up. Just like your kinsmen. The other day you said Kenyan doctors think soft masses cause malaria. And that is the narrative you secretly pray would dissipate all over. That a bright Kenyan mind attends medical school for seven years and comes out thinking that soft masses cause malaria. Your one man campaign flies a banner that wishes all Kenyan medics death. Lucky for them, the bearer and champion for the banner is overtly psychotic. I treat people like you. They think they are doctors. They come spreading their MRIs on the table and give doctors lessons why they think a radiologist made a mistake picking up a tumour in their uncle’s brain. They are very smart, you see. They hold the film against the light and squint one eye and give a fakking exegesis, you see; on the vagaries of tumorigenesis, as they know it. They conclude without fail by noting that the “spurious ill fated” radiology report was written by a Luo. [Turns out that Luo is actually a neuroradiologist (reading a brain scan; lol)]. They instruct you to do an LP (on a guy with an SOL in the brain!), ati because the other uncle had similar symptoms of headache and double vision 10 years ago and the bright American doctors in Garissa did an LP and found TB meningitis. So this must be TBM, (despite spectroscopic MRI analysis telling you this is neoplastic), and you must do as he says. Smart ass. People like you are the reason why Somalia is moribund.
Nilingia Nairobi Women’s Hospital na Kijana yangu nikaona Doc akirun search ya Google!
I had to seek 3 other opinions before we continue with the meds.
But i must admit we have the best docs in the region based on the stories that come from KNH
Doctors run google search all the time! They do. There is no monopoly of knowledge. But they use google in a different way than most would. They will likely go to ebm sites like uptodate or medscape. If your doctor is not using search tools to arrive at the most uptodate care for you, be afraid. Be very afraid.
doctors wa mwakenya from kenya
Kuna daktari amafikishwa 200K basic kweli??? Majority si wanachezea 80K ??? Devoid of allowances…sielewi muarabu anasema niniil
I one time went for treatment in one of the best hospitals, Nairobi, I found out the doc using google for my diagnosis and prescription
Sure. But the google search is probably very much unlike what you would expect if a non-medic was doing it.
