WHEN SICKENESS DOESNT WEAR ASOEBI

in #educational6 years ago

WHEN THE SICKNESS DOESN'T WEAR ASOEBI BUT THE PATIENT IS THE CO-DOCTOR.

Sugar has had fever on and off for 2-3 months.
As an educated girl, she knows exactly what to do.

She goes to the best laboratory in town and asks to do test for Malaria and Typhoid (It's fever nau). The result is positive: Yes!

She goes to that new upscale pharmacy and asks for the best antimalarial and Typhoid medication. And she starts her treatment.
Oh......She also bought blood tablets.

After 3 months, without much improvement she decides to go and see the doctor.
But she thinks a scan will help the doctor....and an X-ray too.

"Doctor, I've had malaria and Typhoid for 3 months and I've already done these tests".
Then the results start pouring out.
Season 1....
Season 2....
Season 3....
Season 4....

"Oh.....and Doctor, I came with Scan and Xray results too..."

Doctor is just looking.
What a wawu......

"Doctor I just came so that you will prescribe drugs that will clear it finally"...

Doctor starts asking questions (Taking a history).
He doesn't even look at her test results.
She's bristling with indignation.
Haba!
Does this Doctor know his work at all??

Finally Doctor finishes examination....

"Madam we're considering three things.
Please can you do these tests so we can be sure..."

None of them is Malaria and Typhoid.
How can the Doctor be suspecting

  1. HIV
  2. Hyperthyroidism
  3. Blood cancer?

On top of Ordinary fever????

Even suspecting Tuberculosis sef...

She had lost some weight though, but she was Fitfam-ing.

Anyway test results return and it's a type of Blood Cancer.
Doctor says if only she had presented earlier, the treatment would have been far gone by now.

Sugar has commenced treatment and is responding well....
However she's now an advocate of ZERO self-testing...
She learnt the hard way.....


Please do not by yourself take yourself to a laboratory on account of a symptom.
You are not a symptom.

This is the correct flow:
DOCTOR >> LABORATORY >> DOCTOR >> PHARMACY >> DOCTOR.

Too many bypasses are resulting in late diagnoses and unwanted untimely deaths.

If however, you must treat yourself by yourself because you love you so much,
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST AFTER 2 DAYS, NOT 2 MONTHS OR 2 YEARS.

Early diagnosis saves lives and prevents witchcraft/ spiritual attack.

Take care of yourself, you are the only self you've got.
