HealthRe: Heart Attack Vs Cardiac Arrest Vs Stroke (pic) by RetroBoy: 7:26pm On Dec 26, 2016
A cardiac arrest means either the heart has stopped beating or is beating in such a disorganized fashion that it isn't pumping enough blood to the body.
Symptoms range from palpitations (due to the fast and irregular beating of the heart), dizziness and lightheadedness (inadequate blood supply to the brain), unconsciousness and death(the brain can only survive for about 4/minutes without adequate blood supply before it becomes irreversibly damaged).
There are many causes of a cardiac arrest, from blood loss, complications of heart disease, electrolyte abnormalities, trauma. It is important to identity the cause promptly as it may be reversible with cardiopulmonary resuscitation

I heard a person coming down with a heart attack can help him/her self before help comes by breathing in, holding it for a while then breath out, how true is this doctors in the house
A person suffering from a myocardial infarction (heart attack) should be sat up in the upright position and taken ASAP to a hospital. Any local or home-based therapy is not likely to be beneficial
HealthRe: Heart Attack Vs Cardiac Arrest Vs Stroke (pic) by RetroBoy: 7:14pm On Dec 26, 2016
Heart attacks occur when the heart muscle (myocarium) becomes injured due to inadequate blood supply. This can be due to narrowing and stiffening of the arteries supplying the heart, or much work done by the heart.
Patients typically complain of a heavy, crushing or tearing pain in the central chest which may radiate to the arm, neck or jaw. There may be associated shortness of breath and sweating. It may go away or if a large portion of the heart muscle is affected, result in a cardiac arrest/death.
Patients are usually men in their 50s, hypertensive, diabetic ,obese, heavy smokers or alcoholics. It may however occur in people without these lifestyle risks.
NYSCRe: FG To Exhume Late Corper's Body For Autopsy by RetroBoy: 8:41pm On Dec 08, 2016

They should allow her rest peacefully and not start their never fulfilling autopsy gimmicks on an innocent soul. As if they have done any autopsy successfully before sef.

Digression..

Yeye government, common to provide a stable power, they cannot. All they ever know how to do is chestbeat. When it's time to compare, they look for the worst of comparison to bury their shameful self.

The thunder that will strike them in their respective mansions is receiving mentorship from Amadioha and Sango.
How does an autopsy prevent someone from "resting peacefully"?
" Autopsy on an innocent soul"huh??
I don't understand

They should allow the poor girl rest in peace biko. Death is always inevitable, we just get lucky or not depending on how soon we meet it.
Typical African mentality.
That's why we remain scientifically backward, when we don't try to find the root cause of things, conveniently ascribing them to natural or supernatural origins.
So long her parents are OK with it, an autopsy should be carried out to determine the cause of death and give some closure to family members.

It is very clear that many of the young men and women making comments here do not have a hood knowledge of the man, Prof. Wole Soyinka, some of them were either to young to know when he won the nobel price or were not yet born and unfortunately their fathers did not tell them his story.
The man Soyinka hates injustice, you can't take it away from him. A man in his 80s is certainly a grand father and should be respected.
Prof should see all the negative comments about his person as one of the downside of social media. It does not imply that Nigerians does not appreciate his person and contribution.
Most of the young men on social media rattling our Prof should kindly desist from it. South Africans will never disparage Mandela or Desmond Tutu they way we are doing to Wole Soyinka.
God bless you sir.
All these youngsters who know nothing will come online to abuse an octogenarian and a Nobel Laureate.
Tutu or Mandela would never have been cursed with so many ignorant younger ones.

The Internet affords re.tards like you the anonymity to hurl insults at Soyinka, who is the 1st Black African Nobel laureate in Literature and probably old enough to be a grandfather.
He is everything he claims to be, and he has the right to brag about it because very few people are as accomplished as he is.
But then you're ignorant, and don't know your history, which is why you and your ilk can hide behind keyboards and type nonsense about someone you can't even hope in a million years to aspire to his level.

Nnamdi Kanu is a dedicated student of Fidel Castro and Che Gueverra. He confessed at length in one of his soliloquy on radio Biafraa that he studied intensely the Cuba and latin American revolutions championed by Fidel and Che Gueverra.

Pic...Che Gueverra fearless in the face of death as he awaits torture and painful execution. Same courage and fearlessness you see in Nnamdi Kanu...he is prepared for this!
You can lie for Africa o.
Che was already dead in that pic..he was actually being mocked by his executioners who propped him up and put a cigar in his mouth.

Castro, despite many CIA assassination attempts, outlived 10 US presidents.
He changed Cuba's healthcare, making it one of the best in the world.
He was the longest serving non-royal leader in the 20th century
He was an icon.
RIP

He revolutionized Cuba's healthcare, to be one of the best in the world.
He defied America's imperialism and crushed the Bay of Pig's invasion.
He was Cuba's Che Guevara.

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by RetroBoy: 6:18pm On Nov 05, 2016

That is a serious mistake by them, so if you don't travel before Wednesday the visa will expire even before you leave Nigeria?

I don't see that as a problem since you have contacted them and they haven't replied yet.

I wouldn't apply for another visa definitely if I were in your position
My initial post was a mistake; visa expires Nov 30, not 7th.
I just need clarification that staying on till the date of exam(Dec 7) won't raise later issues despite it being their fault.
thanks justwise for your patience replying my posts

This is not your fault and you have informed them about it, feel free to travel and complete your exams without applying for another visa.
Thank you.
If I travel and write the exam, I would have overstayed my visa. (Exam is Dec 7th, visa expires Nov 7th).
Won't this cause issues in the future? (when applying for another visa)?

Good evening house.
I applied for a Standard Visitor visa last month for an exam in the UK. The visa was issued last week but it was a 5 week visa ,expiring before my exam (despite the fact that I noted in the application I was going to travel on the 8th Nov and spend 5 weeks in the UK). Apparently the 5 weeks was counted from date of issue and not intended travel.
I have called and emailed UKVI but I keep getting standard "we are working on your case response".
I have a deadline, and I want to know if I can apply for a new visa while still having a current visa(that does not cover my period of stay).

The doctor should shut up already. When she decided to do porn what was she expecting? A pat on the back or a national award? It's a shame that our generation is so useless that rather than condemn her actions, some morons are trying to defend her. Same sex union is highly prohibited in this part of the world. When you're in Rome behave like the Romans. What she did was wrong and must be condemned. I'm still surprised the police are still quiet when it is obvious she was the one. She should be cooling off in kirikiri as well speak.
Oh please!!
I don't know why you are getting worked up over something that's none of your business.
Last time I checked, the video wasn't shown on TV or Netflix; you have to download or actively look for it to assault your sensibilities.
Tell me how her act has in anyway added or detracted anything from you.
How many corrupt politicians have you condemned for prison?

HealthRe: Infrastructural Decay In University Of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) by RetroBoy: 9:20pm On Oct 02, 2016
neocortex:
While infrastructural decay must be taken care of by the government,
our doctors should concentrate more on innovations since the required
funding is not forthcoming, not every struggle
should be about remuneration and welfare.
It is time they start making selfless sacrifices.

An average doctor in cuba earns $26(11,200 naira) a month.
Stop talking about what you don't know.
The patient is in more danger, from the pictures of the theatre put up above, than the doctor.
Good call food is a right, not a privilege. If I am not allowed outside the hospital during busy call hours, the least I should get is good food (which is being paid for).
Aleppo in wartorn Syria has better hospital facilities.
If you are comfortable with such 'facilities' in a federal teaching hospital in Nigeria, then there is something wrong somewhere.
