MEDICAL POETRY: CERVICALLY


CERVICALLY

Hi guys!
As some of us know, January is cervical cancer awareness month.

 Women, all over the world, are encouraged to get their pap smears done, if they are over 18years of age and sexually active.

 This, is very important, as progression of the disease can be halted by early detection of the neoplastic process.

 So, I got a doctor-writer friend to write a beautiful poem on cervical cancer.

 Trust me, you’d enjoy it!

CERVICALLY- by OLADIPO ABIMBOLA

The sins of CIN
Spineless technology is rendered clueless,
Invasive, Pervasive, Elusive
The worst nightmare of the devil, Lucifer’s mother
With costly despair and women, murdered


Magnifies until she putrefies,
Aceto-acetic assertive,
Lugol iodine’s fugitive,
Noble women have bled to death,
Evil mistresses have been consumed by earth


Oh the wonder of that sinister cervix
You are such a gradually progressive devil
Eating up birth canals at varying levels
Biting up health and publishing in journals
Leave us with a cure and be not fatal
Ah! Ah! Happy you are beneath me,
Lol! That’s because of this divine power
But the scientist kills you so early,
And the spiritist keeps you so gory
With my heavy love for life
And flimsy hate for pain
Though Papanicolau had his fair share of your torment
Mine is a doubtless destruction of your intent

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

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. Branc...
