He is not entirely correct, it does not cause stomach pain but groin pain.

I ran an experiment on myself to ascertain this. It does not happen to him does not mean others are ruled out.

Those pipes can get clogged and you get this heavy feeling in the groin. I suspected hernia but when I want on a sex spree I never got the pains again.

Some weeks later, it came back fully blown. I realized I had not had sex In a while.
NOTE: I don't masturbate.

Doctors can't explain everything and I have never used this as a way to make a girl have sex with me.

Fluid build up causes groin pain that extends to the abdomen and sometimes downward to the leg in some men, some men I repeat!

Avoid busy roads.
Be self conscious of your surroundings.
Jog on the walkway facing on-coming traffic.
If you prefer to jog in the dark, do it in pairs and alway use routes with "working" street lights.
let family/friends be aware of your jogging routes.
Carry I.D
Always be conscious of the nearest safe, soft landing surface around you, in case any on-coming vehicle is doing lau lau. grin
RomanceRe: Is It Proper For A Married Woman To Have A Platonic Male Friend? by otswag(m): 6:10pm On Aug 17, 2018
safarigirl:
honestly.....see the foolish question.

So, married women should become loners because of a husband? Just because OP and his 'friend' who he had 'emotional sex' with have no discipline, he assumes everybody is a free giver.


Even female friends can mislead a married woman to commit adultery, the key is to marry someone with discipline and self control so you never have to worry about what they are doing with anyone of the opposite sex.


There is nothing like "mistake sex" anybody that is having sex is doing so because they want to. This use more to do with personal upbringing than general human behaviour.
erm! actually, a dude with a very good aim can mistakingly pull his pants while slipping and falling on a woman that mistakingly removed her dress and happens to be mistakingly lying na.ked beside him.

A lot of ignorant fellows on nairaland , please Google about cryptic pregnancy and you all should stop exhibiting your ignorance , remember many people from different parts of the world view this forum please .
although cryptic pregnancies really do happen, it only lasts for the normal gestational period of about 9 months and the person is usually not aware of being pregnant until late in pregnancy. Many don't even realise until labour starts There is no where in medical literature till date which talks about a fetus developing for years in the womb of a mother. Infact, the longest length of pregnancy ever recorded is just about 12 months and frankly, the baby was lucky to be alive. Yes, some websites talk about cryptic pregnancies lasting for years but then, there are alot of bullsh.it websites out there. Anyone can set up a website and put in any information they like, whether confirmed to be true or not.

HealthRe: The Dangers Of Microwave Oven In Your Home by otswag(m): 8:17pm On Jul 31, 2018
microwaves generate heat by causing molecules in a substance to vibrate against each other. Its just like the heat you feel when you rub your palms together for a while. The more liquid the substance, the more violent the molecules can vibrate, hence, the more heat energy is produced. This is why water molecules in food are the major components of food that generates heat from the influence of the microwave. When heat is generated, if it gets too high, of course it can melt the plastic container or at least soften heat depending on the quality of the plastic. If this is still confusing, just do this simple experiment. Put a dry, empty plastic in a microwave oven and set it to highest for one minute. Then repeat the same with the cup half full of water for the same one minute. You will see that the empty cup will, at best, just be barely warm, however, the half filled cup will be sizzling hot.[quote author=newjosboy post=69868348][/quote]

HealthRe: The Dangers Of Microwave Oven In Your Home by otswag(m):
I would like to point pot a lot of misconceptions regarding this post so people won't be misinformed:

1. Not all forms of radiation has been known to cause cancer. Radiation is grouped into ionizing and non-ionizing. Examples of the ionizing forms are gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet rays and these are the forms known to be dangerous when one is exposed to them for too long. Also, Gamma has the lowest wavelength in the examples above, next is x ray and then infrared rays and this correlates with how dangerous each of them are respectively. In other words, the lower the wavelength, the more dangerous it is. Radiowaves, microwaves, infrared are non -ionizing radiations and have relatively higher wavelengths, hence, none has been known to cause cancer till date.

2. Microwaves do not change the molecular composition of food. Rather, it heats up the water molecules in food and this heat then spreads by convection.

3.microwaves do not heat food from inside-out. Infact, It can only penetrate a few centimeters below the food surface. I does it from outside- in and then the heat spreads by convection.

4. microwave ovens are designed to contain the waves inside the appliance. Infact, once you open the oven while its still on, it switches off automatically. The only reason there would be a leakage is if the appliance itself is broken somewhere. For your info, microwaves are invincible to the na.ked eye. Its not that light that comes on when you switch on the machine.

5. The only part your this post that has been proven to be true is the part concerning heating food in plastics. Yes, this is discouraged because the plastic can melt and leach into the food and this may be dangerous to ones health in future. Using ceramic bowls or other non-metal containers is safer.

Functionally, telegram does virtually everything better than whatsapp ; file sharing capacity, privacy, cloud storage, group capacity, quality of images sent,limit to size of uploadable videos....almost everything. The only reason its not more popular yet is that whatsapp started first which explains the far larger user base. People would rather stick with what is popular than what is better. Also,whatsapp serves the basic needs of majority of its users ,most of whom are teenagers and young adults who really don't understand the true value of what they are missing.

FamilyRe: Naturally Determining The Sex Of Your Babies - By Francis Ewherido by otswag(m):
This is a theory of sex selection that has been in circulation for decades. There are also many other similar theories which many people tend to believe because it is widespread. The internet also contributes to the spread as a hugr number of websites discuss about this like it has been confirmed to be accurate. However, the truth is multiple researches has been done on this issue and many still ungoing, yet, there is no medical evidence till date that proves these theories are correct or that any of them actually works. Sex selection is 50-50 and strictly by chance. Plain and simple.

Dummy, go through the thread, so many people already pointed out that it is much easier migrating to to the UK, several others even quoted me to say so. It's a fact that no country in the world is as stringent with visa protocols and residency requirements as the U.S and that was the point i made. Yet, you quoted me and said "You know nothing yet u're confident that you do, ignorance is really a disease." But then you laid out points about UK, Canada and Australia without pointing out anything wrong about my post except for the argument that residency isn't required for employment. And to support your claim, you are here telling me that a person will sacrifice 2-4years of undergraduate studies, take the MCAT, apply for med school, go through a rigorious 4 years of med school, rack up as much as $400,000 in student loans then pass their boards; al those years of sacrifice just so they could take a non clinical job in a health insurance company or pharmaceuticals? Do You see how stupid that sounds? Only a small minority of doctors whose passion is teaching would actually go through all that stress just to teach, but a majority of doctors, 99% of them, apply for residency so they can actually get a job using all the skills and knowledge acquired while in medical school. Those who aren't accepted into a residency program right away, may settle for low paying health insurance or phamaceautical jobs until they get residency. You are just running around in circles, making points that are irrelevant, but I will keep you on point until you've been enlightened. I am not mad at you though, your type is littered all over nairaland, you don't think twice before typing, and then when you have been called out, you start forming in the mouth.
grin olodo ni bobo yii sha. He clearly knows nothing about non clinical jobs. Health insurance? Pharmaceuyical jobs? grin. Let me face more productive things to do. Have a wonderful life bro. This is going nowhere.
HealthRe: "Nigeria Is In Big Problem!" - Doctor Olufunmilayo Harvey by otswag(m):
rentAcock:
I will reply your points in the same order:


(1) You just confirmed that you are and educated slowpoke and it is your type that answers questions you are not asked. My points all releate to geting American visa and then residency so i could care less about your easy UK or dubai visa. I said all the gra gra involved in getting a visa will discourage many, I did not say its impossible to get one, however its still a process and some requirements must be met such as being financially stable or having a financially stable relative in the States to will sign an affidavit to carter for your needs. Having a regular job or investments in Nigeria as collateral that you will not overstay your visa and having clinical record. Even if you meet theses expectations, you still have to pass a face-to-face interview one which is totally subjective and if the interviewer suspects anything, no visa for you.

(2) Your other points just prove that you read but do not comprehend information. You used my church member as a point of reference in saying there are some doctors who get jobs before emigrating, but this is totally false and doesn't happen in America, so i'm not sure what you are blabbering about. But it looks like you were referring to countries like the UK, canada and co, but my point was based on America's system so i'm not sure why you felt to need to make a fool of yourself.

(3) You agreed with me that getting residency is difficult in the U.S..... so why did you waste your time typing this rubbishhuh

(4) You said residency isn't needed to get a job as a medical doctor in the U.S, you are wrong again, it is a requirement even if you choose to be just a primary care doctor or a gastrointestinologist at least 1 year of residency is required and it is very difficult to get for American trained doctors, let alone a foreigner.

(5) You even agreed with me here again.... lol so why did you feel the need to type this rubbish? Not everyone comes online to brag about where they live or what they do, this is a faceless forum so I create my own reality. Nobody needs to know anything about me because nobody here cares about me and I don't care about anyone. You posted that pile of garbage because you felt the need to insert that you are a doctor or aspiring doctor as if i asked you, lol. Stop trying so hard to impress anyone here, if we were all to reveal our true identities, you may feel like an underachiever. I will be here to enlighten you though.
hehehe. I know your type. When you have no argument, you end up twisting the other persons words to support whatever defence you have and the parts you cant twist, you attack with insults. grin. However, i will try to be civil with you in my response cos u're not worth the stress.

The original post was about the mass exodus of drs to the UK in recent times. You tried to challenge the ease of emigrating and getting a job by using the US as an example to support your point. I pointed out that your argument was irrelevant cos most drs now target the UK for work which is alot easier, not the US. Plus, yes, many people do get residency slots before emigrating
to the US finally after completing USMLE and getting matched so your opinion about this is false.

Also, oga, u must have been reading with your nose cos i clearly said residency is not the only pathway that people follow to make a good leaving. Apparently, u think drs are limited to clinical practice alone. Do you need me to explain the difference between clinical and non-clinical practice? However, i dont blame you. Such myopic reasoning usually shows when you claim to understand something you clearly dont. Im still wondering where i mentioned that you dont need residency to practice as a medical doctor in the US.

Its funny how you ran into your shell by now claiming that you were only talking about the US when u realised you know nothing about every where else. You clearly thought that the UK and most other western nations that drs emigrate to share a similar system with the US, hence your use of it as a case study.

Finally, you asked for enlightenment and i've given you one.
Its not my fault you cant handle it in a civilised manner. Your response is typical of those with inferiority complexes. Dont worry. This world is big enough for everyone to bloom.I have nothing to brag about so if it pains you, its your headache not mine. Im not the first and wont be the last. Peace

rentAcock:
Stop blabbering, point out what part of my previous comment shows that I don't know what I'm talking about. Don't come online typing rubbish, if you do, I will be kind enough to enlighten you, that's what the internet is for. Zero tolerance for illiteracy.
1. Getting a Visa is not that difficult once u get the right info from the right people, once you have a concrete reason for travelling and once you can prove that you are financially capable of taking care of your welfare through out your time there. Im talking from experience so dont even attempt to lecture me on this.

2.Your church member that gave up on his dream is just one out of currently the majority of drs that actually get a job before emigrating. Besides, alot of things has changed since 16 yrs ago. There is no point taking the risk he did that time anynore. Its unrealistic cos now, there are way easier routes for drs to get well paying Jobs before leaving the country. You need to update yourself on recent trends.

3. Yes, US residency might be relatively challenging compared with other countries, however, the pressure has recently swayed towards the UK due to its high demand for International medical graduates. Its way easier to go there first and then move to the US, Canada, Australia subsequently. Many choose to remain in UK and complete their residency there which is relatively easier. A huge number still get this US residency jobs every year before leaving the country too so its not as difficult as you are portraying it to be.

4.Residency is not the only pathway after med school. Many diversify into other sectors of medicine and do even better than those in residency.

5. I totally agree with your last paragraph in your first post. Those leaving is actually a blessing in disguise for those willing to stay. More job opportunities available for the "more patriotic" nigerian drs. The rest of us threw our patriotism out the window when we realised its worth nothing to the country.

I usually dont waste my time enlightening people because i've since realised most are not ready to be enlightened. Like i mentioned earlier, i couldnt care less though. Ignorance can never overshadow the truth about reality.

Na so. They think it is that easy. All the gra gra of getting visa alone will discourage many. How about my church member who was a doctor in Nigeria? The guy sold his house and traveled to the US with his family over 16 years ago, only to hear that he has given up on his dream of practicing as a medical doctor in the states and has settled for menial jobs like nursing assistant. People are lured by the nice salary doctors earn overseas like how some doctors earn over $200,000 a year and with specialty that number balloons to over $300,000. What they don't realize is how difficult it is to get residency. So many American trained medical students are even finding it difficult to get residency let alone foreigners. Moreover, they sometimes require them to take some other exams or fufill a course requirement which many fail to accomplish.

If these doctors are threatening to leave the country, they should let them, after all, there are many students praying to gain admission for medicine to replace them.
