LETTER TO AN OUTCAST


Image result for picture of a downcast person

Dear Outcast,
                      You say you have been forgotten. That just as in Isaiah 56:3, God has made you a second class citizen and you don’t really belong. You believe you are damaged goods. You didn’t have to feed your imagination substantially to have this belief system deeply ingrained into you.
You only had to look all around you, to discern the voices echoing your incapabilities in the background and see the faces mirroring your deepest fears.
Well, you aren’t damaged. You’re renewed.
Can’t you see? You aren’t useless, you’ve been remade into something priceless!
God says he’d confer on you a permanent honor. I’m not saying this to make you feel better; no. He said so with his own mouth in Isaiah 56:5.
He said you’d bear more fruit, have more children, more results, deeper insight and revelations, eye-widening breakthroughs than anyone who’s gone ahead of you. Those sad situations are transients and are taking a sharp exit from your life.
So come, arise from the dust. Let me help you up. Dust your clothes. Guard your eyes with your hand, you see that dim light some distance away? It’ll get brighter as we move forward.
We have no time to waste!
Come, let’s begin the journey into our bliss.
I love you.
                                                                                                               Yours sincerely,
                                                                                                               A previous outcast

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ .

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...
