Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act. I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee. While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling. Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital. I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development? We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State. Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Who sells quality scrubs and can customize them on this app? Looking for solid colors especially. Once we connect with a good vendor, every nurse here who wears scrubs will get a free unit from me for Nurses Week. My little way of saying thank you. 💙 Who knows any vendors?

I googled Archer review’s owner and messaged him on LinkedIn. Told him the dollar equivalent of my Nysc salary and how I couldn’t afford to pay for it. He replied quickly and gave me the most expensive plan for free. I passed my NCLEX @ 85, using archer as my main study resource.

have you ever experienced 24 hours light for 1 week?

I slept over at a friend’s house and accidentally knocked over his mom’s super expensive glass vase while sneaking to the kitchen at night. It shattered everywhere. I just stood there in shock. My friend walked in, looked at the mess, and without saying anything grabbed a pillow and threw it at the wall knocking down a picture frame. Then he yelled, “THE CAT IS GOING CRAZY AGAIN.” His mom came running in and started blaming the cat while we cleaned everything up. That cat took the fall for us.
