Why is nobody talking about Nursing ?
as for Nursing, its 5 years also, U start from 200L via D.E.
write nursing council in 400L and grad with R.N, R.M and probably R.P.H.N. and most importantly B.Nsc at the end.
The internship is still an issue though.

Cmanforall:
I know about optometrists...
Yes, they get lucky sometimes and retained after NYSC. Some places(especially Northern Nigeria) take them as medical Doctors because of the 'Dr' attached to their person, and most of them make maximum use of this to treat other ailments outside their eye region.

One came to a hospital(to meet a Med. Dr.) to seek some training in clinical skills(like a Med. Doctor) and diagnosis to aid him during NYSC and afterwards. This is because of the ongoing trend of Optometrists practicing as Med. Drs when posted to some regions of the country.

The advantage you can have as an Optometrist is to travel to Saudi Arabia. Yes, their government come to Nigeria annually to recruit Optometrists. I have many friends there in Saudi Arabia. It is in such case you can say Optometry is lucrative.

Another way they can make it is working in already established firms.

Thanks 4 dis eye-opening post.God bless U. R U an optometrist ?

Falayi Life for three-year-old Darasimi Ogunwunmi has become a daily dose of agony and struggles for survival. Clinging to life at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba Lagos, Darasimi’s survival has been due to his sheer will to live, doctors say. At the moment, doctors have said Darasimi would require another round of surgery for the repair of his throat and stomach which cumulatively would cost about N2.5m. The bouncing and active little boy, whose parents referred to as the joy of their lives, has been reduced to a sack of bone and skin as he is being fed through a tube on his hospital bed. Few months ago, Darasimi was a normal kid running to school and running back home into the arms of his mother; today he cannot even drink water. In November 2015, Darasimi, a Kindergarten One pupil of Fahsal Children’s School, Ilupeju Estate, Idiroko, Ogun State, drank caustic soda left lying carelessly around his class while he was thirsty. Saturday PUNCH learnt that the proprietor of Fahsal, Mrs. Fausat Abubakar, recently added soap making into her line of business but rather than remove the production far from the reach of her pupils, the soap is being produced right beside their classrooms. On November 19, the worst happened when Darasimi became thirsty and his teachers turned a deaf ear to his incessant cry for water. That day, Saturday PUNCH learnt that there was a Parent-Teacher Association meeting at the school during which it was announced that the school was to commence soap-making in the school premises. Part of the caustic soda already mixed and left around was what Darasimi drank from. They only realised what had happened when the boy was found outside his classroom crying and bleeding from the mouth. The boy’s mother, Toyin, a food vendor in the area, said teachers in the school told her that liquid caustic soda was left in a bowl and the boy took a cup of what he thought was water and drank from it. The lethal liquid destroyed the boy’s throat and stomach, doctors said. According to a research report published by the Sau Paulo Medical Journal, caustic substances cause tissue destruction through liquefaction or coagulation reactions. Experts say caustic soda, which is also referred to as sodium hydroxide or lye is an acid that breaks down tissues faster than many other chemicals. They say complications from drinking caustic soda include esophagitis (inflammation of the oesophagus), esophageal stenosis (a narrowing of the lumen of the oesophagus that slows or impedes the passage of fluid and foods) and progression to cancer, fistulas, perforations, stomach lesions, brain abscesses, and death. Toyin said after her son drank the dangerous acid, nobody from his school made any attempt to call her or her husband until a boy arrived from school and explained that something had happened to Darasimi. Toyin told Saturday PUNCH, “Darasimi goes to school with another little boy every morning. It was the little boy who came home and told us that Darasinmi had been taken to the hospital. I could not understand what the boy was saying because none of his teachers called us to say anything was wrong with him. “I sell food around the school and could not understand why nobody tried to even alert me to what happened as his teachers took him to the hospital. “My husband and I rushed to the school and some of his teachers said they were just about to call us. I told them they were wicked people because they only said that because they saw us. “They told us he was at a hospital in Idiroko and we rushed there. We found the proprietor with few other teachers in the school. They were crying when they saw us. I quickly grabbed the woman and asked what had happened to my boy.” Toyin and her husband rushed inside the hospital to find their boy being treated by some doctors. After a few hours, they were told to take the boy to another General Hospital at Sango, it was learnt. Toyin said they were about to board an ambulance that would take them to the second hospital when the proprietor of the school handed them N10,000 for the treatment of the boy. “We quickly returned the money to her and told her that we were in it together. She could not just hand us N10,000 and say goodbye to us. We left for the hospital together,” she said. At Sango, the worried parents were told that the hospital could not treat such an extensive problem. They were referred to the Federal Medical Centre in Abeokuta, where the boy was admitted and treated for another six days. Again, the hospital referred them for more advanced treatment at the LUTH. Toyin said, “We got to LUTH on November 26 and after few days of treatment, they told us that we needed N65,000 for an initial surgery, which was to take place on December 1. “A day before the surgery was supposed to take place, we had not paid and we had borrowed from everywhere we could turn to for the initial treatment.” Saturday PUNCH learnt that around this time, Darasimi started to take little quantity of tea. So, doctors decided to watch him for a few days. The boy’s parents said the proprietor made no further attempt to call them while several attempts to speak with her proved abortive as she no longer picked their calls. Toyin said, “Sometimes, frustration would force me to call teachers of the school to ask of the woman, they would say she had not been to the school for a while. Sometimes, they would say she was ill. “We had to tell the doctors to discharge our son. We could not work and there was no money to pay for his treatment. Even the money for the hospital bills was borrowed from the family of another patient. We had to refund it after we got home.” Few days after getting home, Saturday PUNCH learnt that Darasimi could not ingest anything food again and had to be taken to a health centre in Idiroko. When the boy’s situation worsened, he had to be taken to the General Hospital, which admitted him for two days before referring him back to LUTH. At LUTH, doctors said it had become imperative for the boy to undertake the initial surgery that was put off as the parents run from pillar to post praying for the survival of their son. Toyin said Abubakar later sent N15,000 with beverages to them for the care of the boy. After borrowing money to add to the N15,000 the proprietor sent to them, the Ogunwunmis paid N65,000 for the surgery of their son, who nearly died few hours before the surgery. Saturday PUNCH learnt the boy was found unresponsive on the morning of the day the surgery was to take place. He was resuscitated and the surgery took place later that evening. Again, it was a tough battle rousing him from his anesthetised sleep after the surgery. But at the moment, the doctors said the boy needs further comprehensive surgeries that will cost N2.5m for him to survive. Doctors, who spoke under a condition of anonymity, said the boy would require at least two more surgeries. They said the boy’s stomach and oesophagus have to be reconstructed urgently. “They are operations that require some urgency if the boy is to survive. The boy is just lying here. Other than just trying to stabilise him, nothing is being done to his case because the funds are not forthcoming. The parents just hang around crying,” one doctor said. Darasinmi now lies in the Ward E4 of LUTH with uncertain fate. His parents are apprehensive about where to get such a huge amount of money as they are already indebted heavily. “Is it our fault that we sent our son to school? We sent him to a private school because we wanted the best education for him despite the fact that we are struggling financially. But now, the school has nearly killed him,” Toyin said. When Abubakar was contacted, her daughter said she left her phone at home and would contact our correspondent herself. By the following day when she had not, our correspondent called her again, her phone number was switched off. When our correspondent tried calling her again on Friday and the call went through, she did not pick it and neither did she reply a message sent to her. Our correspondent contacted the Ogun State Commissioner of Education, Mrs. Modupe Mujota, and realised that she had not got a report about the incident. “Please kindly send a short brief about the incident to my phone. We will take action immediately,” the commissioner said. As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear what action has been taken on the issue. Meanwhile, the parents have opened a bank account in the boy’s name to help raise money for his surgery – FCMB account no: 3528300027; account name: Darasinmi Ogunwunmi. Copyright PUNCH.

•16 years after, woman needs N7.5 million to
walk again

By Tessy Igomu

She hid her pains behind a smiling face as she ambled
into the newsroom that hot afternoon. As she introduced
herself, nothing in her demeanour revealed the pain and
uncertainty she battled hard to face. Though the
ebullient lady carried herself with so much grace and
charisma, it was discovered that beneath this facade lies
a heart yearning for help.

For 35-year-old Helen Okorocha, life hasn’t been
pleasant. In fact, a greater part of her adolescent years
had been plagued by pains, misery and tears. As the
Ukwuani, Delta State indigene poured out her heart while
narrating a heart-rending tale that had caused the death
of her mother, Mary, you could not but feel pity for her.
Helen’s misery was inflicted on her by an overzealous
trailer apprentice that was driving a truck in the Apapa
area of Lagos. He had no inkling on how to manoeuvre
the long vehicle. In the process, he crushed Helen.

Recounting her ordeal, Helen, said she had just turned 19
and was working with a marketing firm in Apapa when
the incident occurred. She recalled that as she got to
work that fateful day and was about entering the office
complex, a truck from nowhere rammed into her and
dragged her along the stretch of the road.

By the time the truck was finally stopped by an
embankment, even with her body still trapped
underneath, she was unconscious and had to be rushed
to the Lagos Island General Hospital, Marina.
Helen recalled that when she regained consciousness
days later, her right leg and arm, which had been
shattered beyond recognition, were encased in
bandages. She disclosed that when the nurses later
opened up the bandages to dress the wound, what she
saw almost returned her into an unconscious state.
“Everyone could see what was left of the bone on my
right leg. The only thing holding the shattered bones
were strands of loose skin. Even the veins and tendons in
that leg were gone. The accident left me demobilized
and shattered. I lost faith in ever recovering and walking
with the leg because doctors told me the only way for
me to survive was to have my leg amputated from the
knee,” she said.

After spending some days in the hospital, Helen said her
mother went to Apapa Police Station, where the matter
was reported, but was surprised to learn that the young
man as well as the truck had been released without their
knowledge. Helen also alleged that the police officers
refused to further pursue the case.

Her words: “The policemen released the man and the
truck without even bothering to contact me or my
mother, despite knowing that I was in a very critical
condition. Nobody even came to check on me. They later
brought N20, 000 and told me that it was all the truck
owner gave to them. Meanwhile, daily, my mother spent
N4, 500 to have my wounds cleaned and dressed by the
nurses. Any day that she couldn’t afford the money, the
room would be overtaken by a nauseous odour that
would keep other patients and visitors away.”
Helen revealed that at a point, she nearly lost her life as
the leg became infected with tetanus and later infested
by maggots.

“On some day, the nurses would hand me a bowl and an
instrument to pick out the maggots. When I get tired,
my mother would take over. Aside the constant pain that
I usually pass through, there were days my mother and I
went hungry because there was no money to buy food
and nobody to help. This was after she had sold
everything she had. Those were the worst days, weeks,
months and years of my life,” she recalled with tears
rolling down her cheeks.

After spending two agonising years in the hospital and
undergoing five surgeries, Helen was discharged and left
to face a life of uncertainty. She was later dealt a deadly
blow with the death of her mother, who all the while was
her lifeline.

“My mother died of heartbreak. She was so sad to see
me suffering the way I was. At a point, she became so
sick and there was no money to take care of her. Even at
the point of death, she was crying for me.”

Helen said that the accident, coupled with her mother’s
death, made it impossible for her to move ahead and
face other promising life ventures. She admitted losing
the will to live at a point but was encouraged by the
word of God and by her church members to hold on.
Till now, she remains uncertain about the dimension or
path her life would take. But despite her condition, she
still exhibits strength while speaking about her
predicament – strength drawn from the fact that
Nigerians, being good natured and good hearted, would
help give her a new lease of life.
Presently, Helen lives each day in untold pain and agony.

She lives on the benevolence of parishioners of St.
Charles Catholic Church, Apapa. The only lifeline that can
make her survive this excruciating ordeal is an urgent
medical intervention. She said she wants to reach out to
Nigerians for help during this darkest hour of her life.
The distressed lady urgently needs N7.5 million for a
crucial ‘Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery’ in India.
The money is meant to cover feeding accommodation
and other treatment at Sagar Hospital in Banashankari.
She is also calling on the governor of Delta State, Dr.
Ifeanyi Okowa, to look on her with pity and rescue her
from death.

Helen, who has not resigned herself to fate by wearing
despondency on her face like a cloak, is hopeful that she
would still make good use of her right leg to walk and
run. She also looks forward to settling with a man of her
dream and cuddling her own children.

She hopes to get
her life back on track after the surgery by also either
returning to school or becoming gainfully employed.
Helen could be reached on 0818889675. She can also be
reached through Mr. Damian Nwabusa on 08035669000
or Geraldine Onyenanu on 08032150006. They are both
parishioners of St. Charles Catholic Church, Apapa, that
have been nominated to help raise funds for her surgery.
