As someone living with Myopia for the past 9 years and counting, I thought that myopia (short sightedness) is the w0rst eye defect you can ever have.

I mean, those with hyperopia would just move back to see a clearer vision of what they want to see but myopia? You must squint your eyes and come closer so that you can see!

I gave up with that misconception when I saw a coursemate with both eye defect. Like, her left eye is myopic and her right eye is hyperopic.

I don’t want to even imagine what she goes through without her glasses!😑

Do you know about a Medical Condition called “Water in the sc***um"? 😱

Well, it is most commonly a hydrocele, which is a buildup of fluid in the sac surrounding a testicle. It can be painless or cause discomfort and swelling and is common in newborns, often disappearing on its own. In adults, it can be caused by injury, inflammation, or infection and may require medical attention.

What are the Causes?

~Newborns: Often occurs because a tunnel from the abdomen to the sc***um doesn't close properly after birth, allowing fluid to be trapped in the sc***um.

~Adults: Can be caused by a variety of factors including:
1. Injury or trauma to the sc***um
Inflammation or infection of the testicle or epididymis
2. Other conditions like an inguinal hernia or, in rare cases, testicular cancer
3. A parasitic infection (filarial hydrocele) in tropical regions

Symptoms???

We have;

1. Swelling in the sc***um
A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the sc***um
Pain, which can be present but is often not the primary symptom of a hydrocele.

2. Swelling that may increase with activity and decrease when lying down
In newborns, it may be a visible bulge that often goes away by age one

What are the possible Treatments?

~Newborns: Usually no treatment is needed as it often resolves on its own within the first year of life.

~Adults: May not require treatment unless it causes significant discomfort or a large size. If treatment is needed, a minor surgical procedure called a hydrocelectomy can be performed to drain the fluid and remove the sac.

When to see a doctor:

If you experience any sudden or significant swelling, pain, or other concerning symptoms.
If the swelling appears suddenly, a doctor can rule out other serious conditions like testicular torsion or cancer.

My colleagues thinks I’m overdoing whenever I clean the earpiece of a stethoscope with antiseptic before using it. But how do they expect me not to? A general thing used by all nurses and doctors in the ward.

The ideal thing is to have a personal stethoscope but even at that, as a student, you are bound to share yours because of so many patients and lack of the equipments meant to care for them.

There might be a case of emergency and vitals would be required immediately, would you say no if your stethoscope is the only one available at that moment?

It’s only God that helps us because In as much as the hospital is the place where we heal the sick, it is also the easiest place to get infected and d i e.

I was in my lodge earlier this Saturday morning, sleeping when people began to scream downstairs.

I woke up and stood up for a while contemplating what the reasons for the screams could be.

I sat back on my bed concluding that it might be usual students fight.

The screams turned into wails and cries and that was when I rushed downstairs to know what was wrong.

“It's Oscar! He jumped into the well!” One of the ladies that littered around said in pity.

I scoffed. Oscar has taken what happened to heart.

Oscar used my lodge (because I stay alone) to invite his girlfriend over. He told me they made out and he so much emphasized how sweet the babe was. I told him he shouldn't bother explaining that I saw it myself. I lied to him that I planted a camera in my room and saw everything that happened.

I told Oscar to send me 50K so I wouldn't cast him. This was happening last night. It was a joke, I just wanted to freak the dude. But little did I know he took it personally.

I went back to my lodge with regrets bleeding in my heart. Then, I saw some missed calls from my phone. It was Oscar, 2 mins ago. Fear gripped me. I called back and it was picked up.

I found out it wasn't even the Oscar that I knew that jumped into the well. It was Oscar, the pet dog of our caretaker!

Klebsiella bacteria is currently the only bacteria I have seen that is Antibiotic resistance In a terrifying way. It is Immune to almost every antibacterial drug thrown at.

I feel this is a global emergency, especially in places where hospitals can't afford new drugs or the best tools.
