Surgeon-General should not be confused with General surgeon.
In the United States and many areas of British Commonwealth, the title of Surgeon General refers to a physician commissioned by the government and entrusted with public health responsibilities.
The Surgeon-General (SG) is the senior medical officer of the British Armed Forces
The Surgeon General of the United States is the operational head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC) and thus the leading spokesperson on matters of public health in the federal government of the United States. The Surgeon General's office and staff are known as the Office of the Surgeon General (OSG). The U.S. Surgeon General is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by a majority vote of the Senate. SG is the senior or second-highest ranking uniformed officer of the PHSCC, holding the rank of a vice admiral.
And Medical Doctors in the Nigeria military are referred to as Surgeon e.g Surgeon Lieutenant, Surgeon Captain, Surgeon General. FG should always consult stakeholders before concluding.

Governor on rescue Mission. Mission successful. Others should follow suit

Why must there be strike/protest before things are done right in this country? Why can't there be dialogue and agreement on mutual benefits? The innocent masses suffer as the adage says where 2 elephant fight the grass suffer. NMA and JOHESU primary objective is SERVICE TO HUMANITY but they are serving for professional selfish interest. There should be health reform in this country and a law that will bind politicians from travelling out of the country for medical attention.

My freedom still a dream – Al-Mustapha

ByAbdulSalam Muhammad
KANO—Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, who regained his freedom last Friday, after 14 years in incarceration, broke down in tears, Sunday, in Kano while recounting his experience, saying his freedom was still a dream to him.
Moments after arriving the ancient city of Kano, Mustapha paid courtesy visits to the palace of the Emir of Kano and Governor Musa Kwankwaso at Kano Government House, where he said: “I have an empty house to go to.”
At Kano Government House, Mustapha said: “I was opportuned to meet my beloved late father and mother twice during the last 15 years and now I have an empty house to go to.”
The former CSO told his host that his entry into the Government House was a clear reminder of an event on October 24, 1998, when he was brought into the Government House in tattered cloth and in chains by his captors in an attempt to rope him in for alleged attempt to topple a constituted authority.
He said: “I am yet to reconcile with my freedom because I am yet to believe that this was the same Al-Mustapha that was brought into this House in tattered shirt, and in chains October 24, 1998.
“I was moved between Kano and Yobe from October 24 and 26 all in an attempt to implicate me over an alleged coup to overthrow the civilian government.”
Al-Mustapha, who was accompanied by Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, National Leader, Mr. Frederick Fasehun, Muhammad Abacha and several other chieftains of OPC, said: “I am yet to understand what is happening to me. It is still a dream and I am finding it difficult to adjust to the reality.”
He also said there was a wicked attempt to kidnap his two siblings while in custody.
He said: “I suffered serious witch-hunt and persecution all in an attempt to paint me black before the whole world.
“Yesterday is gone. I have forgiven all those who perpetrated the evil against me. I am back home and we are drawing a new line for a better Nigeria.
“In all I have got justice at last and we remain grateful to God, who has made it possible for us to enjoy our liberty once more.
‘A father in Fasehun’
“I found a father in Otunba Frederick Fasehun, who had been very supportive. A detribalised Nigerian, he stood by me during my travail and he is with me now that I have regained my honour and liberty.”
In his speech, Governor Kwankwaso commended the judiciary for standing by the truth, adding that Al-Mustapha’s ordeal was a lesson to everyone
According to Governor Kwankwaso, “Al-Mustapha’s freedom gives me joy, and his freedom is a big lesson to all of us. I wish to seize this opportunity to commend the judiciary for siding with the truth.”
Al Mustapha had earlier in the day arrived Kano to a rousing welcome as scores of residents lined Kano streets to catch a glimpse of him.
Commercial activities were brought to a stand-still till late evening as people defied Ramadan to join others on the street.
Armed soldiers took over his personal security on arrival, while a combined team of police, OPC and local militias controlled the huge but orderly crowd of supporters and well-wishers.
Al-Mustapha was forced by the huge crowd to postpone the proposed visit to the grave of his late parents, where he was billed to offer special prayers
In an interview with reporters at Government House, Al-Mustapha defended his visit to cleric, T. B. Joshua, describing him as “an old friend who cannot be forgotten so easily.”
On his military career
According to Al Mustapha, “immediately I regained my freedom, I headed straight to the palace of Oba of Lagos. Then I visited T. B. Joshua and other important dignitaries that identified with us during our travails.”
Asked to confirm when he would resume work against the backdrop that he is still a Major in the Nigerian Army, He said: “The decree that set up the military is very explicit on the issue, and the court verdict left no vacuum on same.”
While in the city, Al-Mustapha visited the emir’s palace, government House and General Sani Abacha’s residence located at Gidado Road, Nasarawa, GRA Kano.

Congrat @ al mustapha. Naija I hail you.

Scoligirl: http://mobile.punchng.com/output.php?link=http://www.punchng.com/health/a-young-ladys-battle-with-scoliosis/

Short of words. But we are in a digital world now everything can be google and one get a reliable information. Don't loose hope all will be well

@ silvasurfa
Nice one.

@salsera. Physiotherapy have specialities such as orthopaedic and sport, neurology and cardiopulmonary, gerontology, o&g and others. I managed 2 scoliosis in abuja last year and there was significant change in the musculoskeletal structures one is 16yr and other 17. My friend managed a lady of age 22 and also there is significant reduction in pain, posture and gait. I used scoliosis exercise regime because they did not complain of pain while my friend use ultrasound, massage and scoliosis exercise.

All physiotherapist should be able to manage scoliosis but the speciality of physiotherapy that manage scoliosis is orthopaedic.

Scoliosis is the S curvature of the spine in a PA view. It can either be idiopatic (unknown cause) or can be postural (bad posture, bag pack, limb length discrepancy, bad gait e.t.c). It is diagnosed physically and radiologically. Radiological diagnosis give more objective diagnosis and can be use as outcome measure. Scoliosis can be managed conservatively using analgesic to relief pain, electro-modalities to relief pain, thoraco-lumbar braces and prescribed scoliosis exercises to correct the spine abnormal curvatures and finally good positioning and postures to prevent further deformities. See a doctor and request for referral to a physiotherapist for expert management

Do you need advice, explanation,information or recommendation on physiotherapy services in neurology,paediatrics, orthopaedics, sport, o&g, surgery, geriatrics, cardiopulmonary e.t.c ?

Get a good physiotherapist. Not any but trained and experienced Physiotherapist. There are many physiotherapist in Lagos and I think there will be physiotherapist in PH. Try google and use linkedin.

Ʊ can correct it by a technique called CIMT. But it can affect the speech of the child. There is no problem in left dominance. The only thing research talk about left handed is that they live less than their actual age if they re right handed but its still debatable. The other disadvantages re environmental factors because most things in nigeria are made in a right hand way such as desk attached to chair e.t.c. Advantages are left handed people are on several occasion brilliant. In conclusion allow the child to grow normally.
