Day 8: light, camera, action


Platoon 10!!!!

Today's episode will be short and sweet. It was just like every other day at first because I didn't go for the morning drills nor the lecture.
Of course I started attending to patients early. I was on morning duty.

There's nothing we will not see in this life! That was how we were minding our business, next thing I saw someone lying down on the floor on the veranda where the nurses do observation before sending the patient in. Dude was shouting "ori mi o" . I went outside to check what was happening and saw Fubsy sitting beside him, looking unbothered. I was like we will call the ambulance and give him exeat because we cannot handle this.

"What's wrong with you?
I have a headache
Is it the worst headache of your life?
Yes *still moaning*
Is it like a thunder clap, like you just heard gba!
Yes oh, ye! Help me!
Oya please, calm down and please sit down"

He sat down and I continued to ask some questions while Mini took his blood pressure. The guy started changing his story saying it's his eyes that hurt and that he's diabetic or will be diabetic because his parents are diabetic. Mini was so upset with the whole thing, he asked that I stopped...Appaz 130/90mmHg.

I left them outside and next thing Mini and the guy came in. Mini walked to the pharmacy table to get IM PCM things. Omo! When the guy saw it he started begging. Saying he was better, that he just wants to take tablets and rest.

Mini wasn't having it oh, but he didn't force him. He sha ensured that he'll took the tablets...I mean, brought water for him and watched him. He told him to be coming for his drugs...but we know that's most likely not going to happen.

Kai!!! Lol! That was the biggest clinic story yesterday.

I divided my time between the clinic and my platoon when drama practice started. Giving them some Waje soundtrack-ish.

Mini and Mikky were away for redeployment screening. Mans worked and had to make major decisions...let's leave it at that.

After practice and a break, we went for socials. My platoon killed it! Our drama was on domestic violence. I sang a snippet of Waje's "I wish" during the performance. They did so well and I believe the people enjoyed it.

Right after that I chilled with Billy. We went to Mami market with Ore (she needed to pick her clothes at the tailor's). Ore left us when we moved over to the suya spot to get suya for Mini and Thomas (aka Shoks).

We went back to the clinic, gisted and then called it a night.

I'll probably update this with pictures but here's what I have for now:

Day 40: all join, na our papa land

Happy new year!!!!! Yessir! I've been on a break with this blog. It's been one big ride with this service thing oh because a lot of us left Ebonyi state for the holidays after showing up at our PPA. Now we are back or in transit back to really serve our Fatherland. Me? So....I redeployed!!! To FCT-Abuja. Yes, I did. Let's not discuss about my reasons but I did. I'll miss my Ebonyi family but honestly, na earth so  we go still dey communicate. I came into Abuja and went to start my post-redeployment procedure. I've made journeys to the secretariat and I'm almost done...or so I think. I have a new state code but I'm yet to get my PPA. You won't believe it!!!! I saw Lambert and I've seen another girl from Ebonyi camp...and she said there's more if us. Lol! But all na service sha. The queue here is mad, yeah, it's dissolved into one whole soup but I'm not about that pushing life. Ah! I've seen another person. loooooo...

Day 21: goodbyes are hard!!!!

Even good things come to an end. Chai! Writing this is painful because today I held back tears. As early as 3am I heard "Corper don blow..." and quite some noise as people were either getting ready or already making their way to drop their mattress...dunno. Billy even sent me a message saying "Corper don blow .. Lol! I went back to sleep abeg. Yesterday I packed my things from F2, my hostel and brought it to the clinic...Mini helped me carry them. Not much though...small box and an empty carrier bag. I got up later to meet people dressed and a long queue of people submitting their mattresses. Guys where are you running to???? I hear some were woken up as early as 2am, y'all extra!!!! After taking my bath and dressing up, TomTom helped me get my mattress from my hostel so I can submit it. That mattress storage room is so stuffy! Well, we finished and I repacked and the clinic was cleaned out. I mean CLEANED OUT. Drug cabinet, beds, examining bench, chairs, ...

Day 3: "eye disloyalty"

I didn't take a bath early enough 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️ ...... People of God how far now? Today started with work oh. I woke up officially at about past 4am, went to get my things for the day from my hostel, freshened up a little and then started attending to people! We had a full house after some time with the camp officials coming to check their blood pressure and see how things are going. Let's back up, shall we? Please why are they "offing" the light??? Just why? Light out is from 10pm and the light literally goes OUT. At about 9:55pm yesterday I was scrambling to get me and my backpack out of my hostel, down to the clinic because that's where I was going to sleep. At about 1:40am some ladies were asking via the window if there was bed space in the clinic, they thought it was a hostel. I can imagine that they arrived at the camp so late and were just looking for a place to pass the night. Well, CMD sha answered them: sorry not here. Back to the day: I...
