topic above was spurred by two events a mere few hours apart in the course of the week and its potency was so immediate that the original topic for this week’s essay was jettisoned. CPR means cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Within our homes, our workplaces and outdoors, there are countless people who fall victim to some health challenges of such a sudden nature that only help from some other persons around them can help save the day and by extension, their lives.
They went from one private hospital to another and yet another where he was serially refused attention until he died in the car transporting him to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital , Ikeja. If only one person in that motley crowd had had any insight into how problems like this can be managed, perhaps our friend would have had a fighting chance.
We need to build our country from the very basics up. We must learn again what constitutes basic hygiene and what our basic needs are. We must teach people how to harness the most practical personal tool of the modern age—-the telephone, to do so much more for themselves rather than making it a platform for discussing only the latest fashion trends. Let the people know what numbers to call during emergencies just so that more people can be helped in a timely manner.
Well, the conventional wisdom is that if teenagers are offered sex education, the aim would be to actually prevent some of these events you mentioned from happening. It should not be the other way round unless something is wrong with the teaching itself. But you deserve our thanks for your contribution.
You have my sincere thanks as well for your support over time. When you have a pain like this one and nothing is seen on X-Rays, it doesn’t make the problem a mystery. It only indicates that not enough investigations have been conducted. I can let you know here and now that you would perhaps benefit from having an MRI of the joint done. When you do so, the cause of so much pain should become evident.
