Sheās not daft. Sheās a woman with experience on Pregnancy.
I respect him as a gynecologist, but he still has limitā¦& thatās the sincere truth.
He can educate on what best practices on the issue is, but he canāt tell her about the experience.
Thatās why we as physicians are trained to listen to our patients.
If his Patient tells him, āPregnancy is a death statementā. His response should be, āTell me Moreā¦ā. Not āPregnancy is not a death statement.ā
Also, because medicine is not a finite knowledge, we medical practitioners keep learning and updating research and knowledge by listening to people experiencing it, not arguing semantics or teaching them English.

Meanwhile @drifeleah, like me was responding to the "felt like" post.
She made a mistake by even acknowledging the "pregnancy is a death sentence" angle.
Her first time of dealing with these #mendem who love gaslighting I'm sure.

There's zero excuse for healthcare workers dunking on a woman for describing her own pregnancy experience.
They went as far as asking if she'd prefer to be sentenced to death but somehow we are the anti-natalists?
Common sense is actually not common.

Itās the context it was used alongside using words like STOP IT in caps !! itās dismissive and condescending!!!
P.s: Iām sure you wonāt normally call your female colleagues dear or even if you do , anyone has the right to say donāt call me that ..
Itās also public knowledge the common denominator of disciplinary cases brought against a lot of male doctors ..
So this is not about using it emails ā¦Itās the CONTEXT..

Side note: Itās advisable to avoid terms of endearment unless youāre close to someone.
Iāve led several resuscitations involving women in cardiac arrest during pregnancy, labour or the postpartum period, on the labour ward or in theatre. Iāve seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
Medicine doesnāt always offer categorical yes-or-no answers.
So YES, pregnancy can be life-threatening and sometimes fatal. It can feel like a death sentence to someone going through a terrifying experience, while others may have uncomplicated pregnancies. Both realities deserve acknowledgement.
Hopefully, weāll reach a point where every woman can describe her experience without fear of being dismissed, and fellow women can empathise whether or not theyāve experienced something similar.
But hospitals donāt have clean water and steady electricity.
The place where Tinubuās campaign team is producing 40,000 tablets in China has been exposed!
The tablets are for campaigns. They will contain campaign messages translated into three major languages - English, Yoruba, and Hausa - and shared among supporters!
So, Tinubuās government has enough money to produce 40k tablets, yet it's borrowing to finance basic needs?
This is unbelievable!āļø

To take back the country in 2027, we must come out en masse. This includes those without PVC.
Leave those itiboribo doctors arguing English and semantics. They only understand medical ethics when itās time to answer usmle questions.

ā¦The ongoing debate about pregnancy and whether it is or isnāt a ādeath sentenceā has exposed wider systemic problems in society.
More worrying is the disregard some healthcare professionals have shown for empathy, patient autonomy and the ethical principles that should guide patient care.
I hope every patient knows their rights, understands that their voice matters and feels able to speak up when their experiences are dismissed or invalidated.
If you canāt acknowledge that people can have different experiences and outcomes, it says a lot about your willingness to consider perspectives beyond your own. Your experience does not invalidate someone elseās, and acknowledging theirs does not diminish yours.
And if youāve been blocked, it most likely means your comments have dismissed someoneās experience or shown disregard for the principles Iāve highlighted. I wonāt engage with comments that belittle patients or invalidate what theyāve been through.

Dr Ose, Good evening from here. There is Nothing I want to say that has not yet been said in the comment section. You can only wake up someone sleeping, not someone pretending to Sleep.
I know one thing is the same across board in Medical ethicsā¦you are not permitted to dismiss a patientās feeling, especially based on semantics.
If a patient tells you this Pregnancy feels like a Roller coaster. I know you will not show them a picture of roller coaster and show them a picture of pregnancy arguing itās not the same, nor if someone tells you, āMoney nah waterā, you wonāt be arguing āMoney is Not Waterā, you drink water, you can never drink money.
If a Pregnant woman tells you Omo! that pregnancy felt like I will die, and your friend went ahead to say, āthese women make it feel like pregnancy is a death sentenceā, youāre too smart to be arguing, sheās right; āPregnancy is not a Death Sentenceā.
You can not create a blanket statement like āPregnancy is a death Statementā or āPregnancy is not a Death statementā, because to those that never made it out of pregnancy, that Pregnancy was their Death Statement.
SELAH! āš¾
In all these, letās not forget to vote Out Tinubu and Vote for Peter Obi so that Nigeriaās health system can get better.

Your algorithm should be showing you Peter Obi and Kwankwaso by now. If not, it's time to question your social media choices. š
