Health / JAPA: How Shortage Of Physiotherapists Hamper Tertiary Hospital Services by Thanks18(m): 1:38pm On May 05 |
5th May, 2024 Rise in non-communicable diseases, among other ailments has led to a consistently growing demand for physical therapy services among Nigerians. Janet Ogundepo writes on difficulties patients go through accessing services in government-owned hospitals. Looking agitated, an opulent-looking man, identified only as Yinka, sat on a bench in the waiting area of the Physiotherapy Clinic at the National Orthopaedic Hospital Igbobi, Yaba, Lagos. The man in his 40s and from an affluent family, preferred to be addressed by just his first name to avoid being linked to one of the prominent ruling families in the state. As he waited for his relative who was being attended to by a specialist, Yinka’s eyes betrayed his uncertainty about the outcome of the evaluation. His relative, whom PUNCH Healthwise identified as John Aliu, was an out-patient at the specialist clinic and had missed his appointment the previous day. The ongoing fuel scarcity became an obstacle that led to his not meeting up with the initial appointment. He dreaded the pain and discomfort Aliu would go through for several weeks if he was unable to see a physiotherapist. Aliu was diagnosed with degenerated disc disease and cerebral spondylosis, a condition that left him in constant pain and reduced mobility. Loosening up a bit to speak with our correspondent, Yinka painted a painful, graphic image of what Aliu went through while just taking a short walk to the hospital’s main toilet. Looking disconcerted, he said the walk was short but excruciating and left the young man lying on the bench and writhing in pain for several minutes. His condition, coupled with a hormonal problem makes him require physiotherapy, hormonal and pain care. He fears that if the doctors do not accept their explanations for missing the appointment, the days and weeks ahead before getting another appointment would be quite traumatic to every member of the family. Recounting what led to the missed appointment, Yinka said, “I went to the filling station to look for fuel and that was why we came today. He was told that he won’t be attended to but he tried explaining to them about the situation that prevented him from coming. “The attendants then explained to us that they were short of doctors and that was the reason they limited the number of patients to be seen at each clinic day. They also explained that the doctor would still go to the ward to see the patients after the clinic and that is why they won’t be able to see him unless he booked another appointment.” Fortunately, Aliu was granted access to a specialist and he had his physiotherapy session. Aliu, who was having spasms due to the pain ravaging his body, managed to tell our correspondent that although he had begun to take treatment at a private facility, he was still referred to Igbobi, to see a specialist and was booked for spinal surgery. “After today’s appointment, the next date might be in the middle of June. So, how would he be able to get adequatetreatment that way? At the other private clinic, he sees the physiotherapist every week but here, it’s almost monthly,” Yinka quickly interjected seeing how difficult it was for his relative n to continue with the conversation. He said Aliu was already angry for not being given adequate care at Igbobi and would have wanted to be cared for at the private clinic but for the complexity of his condition. PUNCH Healthwise learnt that before the recent visit, he was on the long list of patients waiting to see a spinal physiotherapist and was unhappy with the situation. “When I first came here in October, I was given an appointment to see the Spinal physiotherapist on February 6. Fortunately, the doctor who referred me here said because the appointment was long, she would refer me to the pain clinic to help me manage the pain pending when I see the spine physiotherapist. “When I asked what made the appointment that long, the doctor responded that it was because there were too many people waiting to meet with the few doctors available. But the pain clinic appointment was a week after my first visit and after that, it would take a month interval,” Aliu muttered in pain. He mentioned that while awaiting his next appointment, he couldn’t effectively perform the exercises he was instructed to do. Speaking to PUNCH Healthwise after the session, the middle-aged man said, “The last time I came here, of the four exercises I was asked to do, I could only remember one. I was reviewed and then given a new set of exercises.” https://punchng.com/how-shortage-of-physiotherapists-obsolete-equipment-hamper-tertiary-hospital-services |

Politics / Re: Statisense Is Lying Against Peter Obi by Thanks18(m): 9:29pm On Apr 04 |
Peter Obi did not borrow any loan during his tenure as Anambra governor. Though his tenure was interrupted with impeachment and election of new governor which brought new administrations that borrowed. He sought legal redress and got his seat back these 2 consecutive times. Anambra under Obi did not borrow any loan. Debt profile accruing those times may be attributed to Obi's deputy who later became the first executive female governor in Nigeria and Andy Uba who spent just 17 days as governor and was removed by the supreme court |

Some people who rushed to comment are truly biased and tribalistic. Is there any reason to compare demolition going on in Enugu and Lagos? Demolitions going in Enugu are targeted to fences and other structures encroaching on the road while that of Lagos were outright demolition of the entire buildings causing loss of home and properties. Those calling Peter Obi bad names are lost in understanding and empathy |

Religion / Warning from Lord Jesus Christ To The Church And The World by Thanks18(m): 8:58pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
Lord Jesus charge to His Church Around 2am on Sunday 2nd May,2021 I had a vision from the Lord and he gave me this message which i will convey to you Please read and share it Firstly to # Grace_of_God_mission_Nigeria The Lord said that Grace of God was formally my church in their days of beginning for they started in the Holy Spirit. The Lord said I founded her but today they have backslidden and turned their back on me. The Lord Jesus judged that many of them are wallowing in sins and speedily conforming to the world and that their ladies rebuffed that old time christain dressing are old school and unpopular in this era. He commanded that Grace of God mission should return back to the old time religion both in doctrine and dressing sense and that they should look only to Him for standard of righteousness and stop copying and imitating others in setting their conduct. He concluded that they should repent for He is an old school God and He is coming very soon Scriptural references: "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise". (2 Corinthians 10:12|KJV) "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God". (James 4:4|KJV) This particular charge from God is for all believers everywhere. He that has an ear, let him hear for the sake of his soul My brethren,the Lord then warn that we should be careful of the kind of gospel music you download from internet or load into your phones using Bluetooth/xender for most of these contemporary gospel music are not inspired from me or sing unto my Glory. I have rejected many of them. Only few of them are for me. He then showed me some of the popular gospel singers telling me to look at their attire and make ups portraying nothing but seduction and worldliness. The Lord then added, "how can these modern singers minister to my Glory when they are carrying the properties of Satan on their head and body. That many of these singers got their inspiration from the pit of hell and whenever they hummed their song, they invoke the demon which inspired them to sing and not the Holy Spirit. The Lord then charged that even if your pastor like listening to these songs from these worldly singers, i the Lord hate those songs for their abomination unto Him. Reject it "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil"; (Exodus 23:2A|KJV) Even if the whole world love those songs and celebrate the singers, i the Lord do not like them for i am still a holy God. Repent for i am coming soon. As the Lord was still speaking, He then show me another vision of a very big congregation in Nigeria, i saw a very popular preacher based in Abuja who is the head pastor of this big congregation but i will not mention his name. This preacher was dancing late Michael Jackson dancing style of shaking his 2 feets in and out. And to my greatest surprise, i saw a demon which has only head to trunk but no lower limb on top of the congregation dancing the same styles together and beside this pastor and both were dancing this way heading to hell. The Lord showed me a young man with modern haircut style among the youth these days called Galaxy haircut and the boy was putting on body fitted shirt and trouser. The Lord therefore warned that any Christan with this kind of worldly hair style and dressing in this body fitted design will never see heaven but hell is waiting for such a one. "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD". (Leviticus 19:27-28). That is any christain man or woman wearing any cloth fashion showing their body shape and contour are preparing their soul for doom. Also any christain man putting on jumper trousers should repent or face his wrath. Then unto # Assembly_of_God_Nigeria , the Lord said that they have totally backslidden from Him and have followed demon which have divided and scattered them. And many demons in hell are rejoicing over their souls and waiting for them. He further remarked that the reigning sin in Assembly of God church is "sins of the heart" which are envy, jealousy, hatred, division and gossip. He said there is no fear of God among the members of Assembly of God church and He is no longer in their midst for they have rejected Him. And therefore, He's warning them to repent and seek His face immediately so that He will receive them again. But if they fail to heed this warning now, that these demons on assignment will possess many of them and they will start killing each other with poison. Scriptural references: But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. (James 3:14-16|KJV) Finally, the Lord exhorts His people everywhere to prepare for He's coming without delay to rapture the church for many occultic and demonic pastors and prophets have taken over His church deceiving many folks to hell Shalom Jesus is the king deliverance ministry Lagos
