Are you afraid of any Medical instrument e.g syringes, sphygmomanometer, stethoscope etc Tell us

---

Right since when I was small, I have never been a fan of drugs or medicine for that matter, but i know that it's a must I take them to get better, my only experience has always been with syringe, I have always been grateful to God not to have witnessed or been through a sever medical condition.

My medicine experiences has always been treatment for Malaria, maybe due today the fact that I am AA , and I don't often get sick as much, I don't like taking drugs neither do I have fear towards syringe or any medical instrument, when I feel the need to, I take them with ease, and chest it like a man.

Are you afraid of any Medical Specialist? To which? We would like to know why?

---

My only fear with specialist has always been Male Doctors, I prefer the female version has they have a more experience and emotions to guide you through the process, that's in my opinion by the way.

Whenever I'm required for injection, I meet the female nurses rather than the males, as they have a way of letting you relax before they plunge any sort of medication in you, so yes, I do get afraid of the male doctors.

Do you remember any uncomfortable, painful, funny or unpleasant medical experience? Share with

---

Yes, I could recall a very unpleasant moment when I was small, this was when I was trying to get injection for my malaria, I was 10 years old then, so I still get some fear towards syringe in those moments.

There was a day I was supposed to take a treatment, then their came a nurse who usually comes to treat me, it was in my house that day, then the moment she plunge the syringe into , I let go off her arm then ran across the house while the syringe was still in me, the funniest part was that the medication hasn't pass through yet and the more I keep running the more sever the wound becomes.

This definitely still leave a wound on my arm, as even at this hour, I could see the wound and remember the funniest and the painful medical experience I had.

Did you Experience medical truma in your child hood? Could you share with us?

---

This trauma does ring on my head till date, that whenever I got sick , I always remember the moment, not that it has anything to relate to medicine but it does relate to my medicine psychology.

So, there was this time during my teens as well, I was sick then my mom took me to the hospital, it was a successful one, I took injection and all was good afterwards, going back home from the hospital, at the exit, my mom was already in the car waiting, then I took just a step forward and a huge plank fell behind of me, if I had wait for a seconds the story might have been different today.

This sort of traumatized me till date, that whenever I remember the situation, it brings awareness all of a sudden to my sorrunding, and sometimes I get sick thinking of it, it was one of the luckiest experience I ever had, discussions like this always make me remember situations like that.

Have you Experienced any accident or illness considered serious? What teaching did you experience

---

I have not experienced any severe accident or illness, but my little sister once did and it was not an easy moment for the family.

There was a time when my little sister was very sick, then I was the only one at home with her, all of a sudden she started breathing heavily and I got really scared and have to phone and tell the experience to my mum, she heard the breathing , then all of a sudden my little sister starts closing her eyes in a very scary way, I was then asked to put spoon in between her teeth as a first aid precaution, that was to allow her not to losses breath, then afterwards she was rushed to the hospital next.

My knowledge from that condition was that whenever you see people in an arrest or a shock, the first thing is to ensure you don't loose them to that shock, keep them away as much as possible from it, and you can as well breath air into them through the mouth or however.
