CHAPERONING - The Truth and the Lies!
Doctors are cool😎 people☺️. They're compassionate, considerate and sensitive☺️ too... but... Medicine is one profession that puts the patient at the mercy of the doctors and doctors at the mercy of the patient and so both parties need quality protection! This episode was as a result of two similar calls I received in the last few months about patients thinking they might have been violated by their doctors! This episode equips you with all the information you need to understand 'why' the doctor does 'what' and so helps you to be more cooperative, as well as, alert to improper practices. I'm positive this will help you a great deal☺️, trust me☺️. I'm super eager to hear from you - your additions, suggestions, questions, clarifications etc. Be sure to drop them here or in my box @ d.debunkingdoctor2020@gmail.com... Hope to hear from you soon😊.

Why should I be REFERRED to another hospital? - The Truth and the Lies
REFERRAL! I have lost count of how many times patients, and sometimes, their relatives, beg not to be referred - they perceive that the ONLY reason for the referral is because the patient's condition has worsened. As much as I hate to admit this perception MAY be true SOMETIMES, it is not ALWAYS the case! Referral is a delicate balance between what a hospital is capable of doing (in terms of workforce, available skills and facilities) and the medical need of each patient. Once there's a disparity... an action must be taken😊! And Yes, in this episode, I had to touch on FIRST AID. Everyone seems to want to talk about first aid when someone presents to the hospital in an emergency situation. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE MEANING OF FIRST AID? What exactly is wrong with referring a patient without giving this FIRST AID? What are the other reasons we refer patients apart from worsening clinical condition? Answers are inside this episode, trust me😊 and you know I look forward to your comments always😁. You can reach out here: d.debunkingdoctor2020@gmail.com... I'll be super glad to hear from you☺️. Have a great week and Plenty love😍 from this side🤗🤩🤗

THIS THING CALLED MENOPAUSE🙄🤔😬!
It is not news that menopause marks the end of menstruation, but, it's also amazing to realise that people think that's all that is to it. NO, THERE IS MORE! And the 'more' is actually what makes menopause peculiar. This peculiarity demands preparedness and readiness for this phase in the life of every female. Question is, how do we prepare or get ready if we don't even know. A medical outreach I attended some weeks ago further opened my eyes to the need for health education on MENOPAUSE and that, is exactly what this episode is about. I hope you like it☺️. I'm extra positive you'll learn something😊. Kindly reach out to me here: d.debunkingdoctor2020@gmail, I look forward to your opinions and suggestions too☺️. Enjoy it☺️. Muchos🤗😍

DRUG RESISTANCE - Looming trouble! Here's one thing I LEARNT from COVID-19.
The reason COVID-19 has the power to shut down the universe is because of three (3) attributes: Infectiousness, Incurability and Fatality. Once curable, the other two attributes become less important. In this episode, I emphasised on appropriate drug use to prevent the world from entering a phase of DRUG RESISTANCE - when we lose control over what we've once had control of. Its incidence has started to increase worldwide and that is because of the irresponsibility of humans who take drugs ANYHOW and for the wrong reasons. Kindly listen to this episode to learn more and I'll be glad to know about what you have learnt so far from the pandemic. Share your stories with me here: d.debunkingdoctor2020@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you and kindly remember to share with someone, especially someone you know is fond of taking drugs inappropriately. That's the way to show love. Thanks and have a great week.
