For Students And Parents...

Most students do not fail because they are not intelligent.

They fail because their attention is broken.
Phones. Noise. Pressure. Fear. Endless scrolling.
The brain never settles long enough to learn.

One powerful reset I share in this video is reading non-academic books like novels.

Not for entertainment.

But to retrain focus, imagination, memory, and mental stamina.

When you read a story, your brain learns to stay with one idea for long periods again.

That skill quietly returns to your textbooks.
Your concentration improves.
Your recall sharpens.
Your confidence comes back.

This is how an academic comeback begins.
Not with pressure. With mental retraining.

If you are a student preparing for 2026, or a parent worried about your child’s focus, this message is for you.

A comeback is possible.

DATING DOCTORS FOR BENEFITS

In my few years of working, I discovered something interesting. As a young male doctor in Kenya, I suddenly appeared very attractive to many young women. Sumptuous. Palatable. Visually nutritious.

For a brief moment, I thought I had finally become visible to the feminine world.

Alas.

It was not me. It was my pocket and by extension my title that was doing the heavy lifting.

So I dated, but with intention and strong guardrails.

On dates, I would casually ask a dangerous question.
“So what are your expectations?”

About ninety percent of the ladies never wanted to answer this directly.

Later, I understood why. Clarity is expensive. Clarity sets boundaries. Clarity demands accountability. And as they say, clarity and vibes are like water and oil.

So expectations remain unspoken. Floating. Waiting.

Then chaos erupts later when those unspoken expectations are not met.

Eloi. Eloi.

Some women were however, very clear about their expectations. Some were reasonable. Others required a supplementary budget and divine intervention.

At first, I thought it was only young male doctors catching strays in these streets.

Eloi again.

Then I heard the testimonies of my counterparts, the young female doctors.

Enter stage left. The muscular gym enthusiast with a deep voice. Romantic. Masculine. Calm. Emotionally available. Consistent. Listens actively. Does housework while she is busy at work.

Fast forward a few months. Four hundred thousand shillings disappear. Sometimes consciously into a certain project that was supposed to multiply tenfold. At other times, it's mysterious, like airtime on a dual-SIM phone.

These stories are not isolated incidents.

may want to approach it slightly differently, treating it
Lesson of the year. Dating while actively working is rarely a pure love affair. You may want to approach it slightly differently, treating it more like an interview than usual.

And a proverb from the Luhya community sums it up perfectly.

"When you visit your in-laws for negotiations, do not eat until you have discussed and resolved what brought you there. If you eat before you talk, you will be saying yes and amen to all their demands".

Happy end of 2025 and welcome to 2026.

What is Deliberate Practise

I remember one moment during my internship that has stayed with me for years.

We were in the ICU late in the evening, and the senior Family Medicine resident was placing an arterial line.

He had already performed several central and arterial lines during his rotation. But what struck me was not the procedure itself - it was the way he approached it.

After a few attempts, he paused, looked at the setup again, and said, “Let me try a more acute angle. It works better with this vessel.”

And just like that - smooth cannulation.

At the time, I didn’t have the language for it. Today, I do: deliberate practice.

It was not luck.
It was not guesswork.
It was insight.

He had performed the procedure enough times, reflected on his approach, understood the “why” behind each movement, and refined his technique. That is what separates routine repetition from true growth.

From boring routine work to Mastery - deliverate practise.

What I have learned about Deliberate Practice

It is a higher level of learning where the mechanical steps are no longer the focus.

You start to see inside the skill - understanding the deeper purpose of each action.

Repetition becomes meaningful, not mindless and boring

And with enough insight, you begin to adapt, teach, and even innovate.

This applies not just to procedures, but to the entire practice of medicine.

How this changed my practice as a doctor?

Over time, I realized that deliberate practice is not limited to inserting lines or intubating patients. It has reshaped how I show up in clinical practice every day:

Listening more deeply to patients

Understanding patterns behind their symptoms

Noticing things I previously overlooked

Improving patient experience by being present, not rushed

I have seen this same quality in some of the best clinicians I have worked with - surgeons, physicians, emergency doctors - the ones whose outcomes seem to consistently stand out.

Their excellence is not magic; it is the product of deliberate reflection, thousands of small adjustments, and a mindset of continuous improvement.

Deliberate Practice is what turns experience into mastery.

Not just in procedures, but in empathy, communication, and clinical judgment.

It is a journey I am still on - and one that keeps transforming the way I care for patients. The way I approach life.

How has Deliberate Practise worked for you?

In urban Kenya and most developed countries, a patient’s diagnosis is private business. In rural Kenya? It’s often a community affair.

During my work in a rural hospital, a patient’s surgery was once funded through a church fundraiser. Many visited the hospital thereafter.

The chairperson demanded full medical updates. Relatives crowded the ward wanting “the truth.” The family elder insisted, “She is our daughter; We must know.” The patient said, “It’s okay, tell them.”

Privacy quickly became a collective decision.

In close-knit rural communities, confidentiality frequently clashes with cultural, faith-based, and familial values.

Bills are paid communally, elders wield authority, and patients may voluntarily surrender privacy to preserve relationships.

Yet, under Kenya’s Data Protection Act (2019) and new regional health data frameworks, medical information is legally private and must be handled with explicit consent. Studies show that while awareness of privacy is growing, implementation in rural Africa still lags behind urban areas.

What can we do then?

Always start with the patient. Ask who they want to be informed. Silence is not automatic consent.

Educate gently. Many families are not defiant - they simply see health as a shared issue.

Balance ethics with empathy. Protect privacy without alienating the very support systems keeping the patient alive.

Document and communicate. Set boundaries early when fundraisers, elders, or pastors are involved.

Cultural humility. Confidentiality is not just about the law - it is about trust, respect, and understanding the rhythm of community life.

To my fellow clinicians - how do you handle this tension between ethics and culture in rural settings?

And to the public, have you ever been part of a situation where a loved one’s diagnosis became “community news”? How did it make you feel?

Confidentiality is not just a medical rule - it is a mirror of how we see dignity, family, and care in our societies.

🎓 Trained.
💸 Broke.
🚫 Jobless.

After 7 years in school, thousands in fees, and countless sleepless nights, many Kenyan graduates, especially in healthcare, are facing a brutal reality: no jobs, no income, no support.

This is not just a personal crisis. It is a systemic failure.

🧠 AI Is Learning, But Are We?

I have always been fascinated by the human brain — its design, its ability, and its infinite potential.

Over the past year, I started exploring how modern technology, especially social media and artificial intelligence, is changing the way we think, remember, and learn.

As a doctor, author, and trainer, I use AI almost daily for writing, summarizing, and research. At first, it felt magical. I could do in minutes what used to take hours.

But then something shifted.
Whenever I let AI do the full writing for me, I realized that I could hardly remember what I had written days later. The understanding was not mine.

It hit me — if AI is doing the thinking, then it is AI’s brain that is learning, not mine. I was training the algorithm, not my own mind.

📖 A recent MIT study confirmed what I had experienced.

Researchers asked 54 participants to write essays under three conditions:
1️⃣ Those using AI tools,
2️⃣ Those using search engines,
3️⃣ Those writing with no tools at all.

They monitored brain activity using EEG scans. The group writing fully on their own showed the highest focus, memory, and creativity. The AI group had the weakest brain engagement and lowest recall even weeks later.

The more we let AI think for us, the less our brains exercise focus and creativity.

🎓 For students and professionals, that is a warning.
AI can make you faster, but it can quietly make you forget how to think.
The brain does not grow through shortcuts. It grows through struggle, reflection, and effort.

If AI removes the struggle, it also removes the learning.

💡 Here is how to use AI without losing your edge:
✅ Use it as a coach, not a writer — ask it to explain, then rewrite in your own words.
✅ Use it for structure, not thought — let it guide, but do your own analysis.
✅ Use it to organize research, but verify and interpret yourself.

Let AI do the tedious work, but you must do the mental work.

The goal is not to stop using AI, but to stay awake while using it.

Because the most powerful learning tool in the world is not artificial.
It is the living, breathing, limitless human brain.

🧠 Use AI wisely.

🎓 Every year, Kenya’s universities graduate thousands… but the truth? Less than 10% will ever get formal jobs.

The youth unemployment rate is a shocking 67%. Employers say 64% of grads don’t have the skills they need. And almost 8 in 10 graduates end up in jobs that don’t even match what they studied.

Imagine studying 4–7 years, parents selling land, taking loans, sacrificing everything… only to be jobless or underemployed for years. 💔

This is the reality: our education system is producing degrees, not jobs. Curricula are outdated. Courses are misaligned with the real market. Practical exposure is almost zero.

But it doesn’t have to stay this way. 🚨

✅ Universities must align with industry
✅ Internships & skills training must be real, not box-ticking
✅ Government & employers need to open pathways
✅ Students must learn digital, entrepreneurial & soft skills alongside their degrees

📣 Let’s be honest: without reform, we are setting up a whole generation for frustration. Share this with a graduate, parent, or policymaker.
