We raised 53k for Tabitha. Her bill is 34k.
The excess of 19k will be brought forward to help the patient we are currently managing for typhoid perforation. Again, thank you. God bless you abundantly.

Gastroenteritis with mild dehydration secondary to malaria.
This young 3 year old male child was brought in yesterday with excessive crying, loose stool, vomiting and fever. We quickly commence treatment and today he is up and about! Amazing how little children recover with the right diagnosis and treatment. I love treating children even though they can be very difficult to handle. Just look at those eyes that were formerly sunken looking full, purposeful and happy again. The emphasis of having trained and experienced doctors in the rural areas must continually be encouraged and this discussion must be sustained on the front burner until it becomes a norm.
You, all of you, see the little girl you have left an indelible mark on. One that she will never forget.
Her appendectomy was a success. She looked beautiful and graciously endowed. My doctor had earlier evacuated her womb two days before I arrived the facility on account of retain products of conception.
She had presented with severe abdominal pain, fever and fast breathing that preliminary investigations revealed incomplete miscarriage. She gave a false history of having had a spontaneous miscarriage at 16weeks, 3 days prior presentation.
We are still appealing for financial aid for this lady who had typhoid perforation and repair but subsequently had a breakdown, leading to the bringing out of her intestine outside her body to divert faces thereby allowing the abdomen healed properly before a final repair.
Tabitha is a very smart young lady. I am just knowing that her parents were actually killed in one of the crisis that engulfed Southern Kaduna in 2006. She is being catered for by an orphanage that houses over 70 children and widows. A good Samaritan picked interest in her case and is taking care of her education.
I have tried to forget the events of Monday but I guess I have been so infected by them that I must seek a cure.
Monday started like every other beautiful, hopeful and optimistic day with bright faces at work and anticipated patient load. But this was to take a drastic turn.
Today feels beautiful and innocent. What better way to start the day than to have Faith (Bangeskiya) prime the mood by visiting the clinic yesterday.
One way you can support the rural doctor initiative, and by extension, financially handicapped patients, is to buy one of our paraphernalia.
All the way from Lagos Nigeria, we have been recognized for our works in the rural areas by @theyeasummit as one of the Under40s CEOs in Africa.
