"who turned out to be a sweet old doctor with a bow-tie and a spritely outcrop of silver hair (who turns out to be OBJ's physician)", dear bibi, its time to call in the Red Cross. OBJ's physician & co are sequestered to practice on the wealthy few. Net result, little experience. Live to fight another day, come to sunny costa and get well.nigeria, what's newhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13767962513563359016[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1146001046702801202006-04-25T22:37:00.000+01:002006-04-25T22:37:00.000+01:00I have been following your health struggles with keen interest, and I’m glad your diagnosis did not disappoint me. You had a parasitic infection! The manifestation of which is similar to malaria- you know the headache, fever, malaise etc.<BR/><BR/>While cases of malaria are often under treated (when the diagnosis is right) in Nigeria, your ordeal suggests that malaria is probably over diagnosed and over-treated in Nigeria. <BR/><BR/>Be well J, and quit drinking those concoctions; there is really no difference between them and oyinbo pills- they are toxic when used in excess.Imnakoyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04508076137592717224[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1145996249399312392006-04-25T21:17:00.000+01:002006-04-25T21:17:00.000+01:00They didn't call it the white man's grave in jest...Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1145994563539147012006-04-25T20:49:00.000+01:002006-04-25T20:49:00.000+01:00oh look see now, the doctor thinks its a bug and has given you more medicine...which hospital is this? obviously national hospital is not in my good books, but i hope it isnt zankli...because i was admitted there once and believe it or not, they did not come up with a diagnoses...first it was malaria (being a fine connossieur of malarial symptoms, i didnt believe this)then it was typhoid, then it was ameobic typhoid or was it ameobic dysentry then god knows whatelse. basically they didnt know what it was and gave me an arsenal of drugs to just kill anything in sight, i was there for about a week. my father requested for the case file and was livid when he read the treatment regimen...he wrote a letter to the bosses completely telling them off (my mom recounted the story to me in awe lol)<BR/>i think it is good that you are getting a second opinion, lol if you need a third pls let me know!. i hear the doctors at LUTH are also worth their salt. also if you are in doubt of your medicine. perhaps you could get in contact with hospitals owned by chevron, shell? im 101% sure they dont get fake drugs<BR/>on a lighter note. when did you move to nigeria? you may just be adjusting... before i went to school in abuja...malaria was a once a year occurrence, but in my first two years and possibly into the third.. i had malaria twice a term, which is like in twice in three months and many students were worse, so it may just be adjusting...but tread lightly<BR/><BR/>just reading your new post...its now an ameoba lol are you trying to copy me...i hope you get well soon though<BR/><BR/>big ups to your wife!somborri[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1145992588276530042006-04-25T20:16:00.000+01:002006-04-25T20:16:00.000+01:00Jeez, Jez!
