Sub-mandibular Lymphadenitis

A female patient today complained of a painful little swelling just under the angle of her left jaw. No wounds, no mouth sores, nil gum swellings. I sent her home with no medication, having reassured her of the likely zero consequences of the condition.

Vanishing Testes... Uterine Evacuation

I was mad with the father of a 10-year old whose child proved to have both his scrotal sacs empty - a case of bilateral Congenital Undescended Testes. The point is both parents had known for years the condition and were hoping against all hope that one day the testes would appear, never once thinking to seek medical advice. The poor young chap would have to visit the Paediatrics Surgeon soon. I'm just back from the labour room where I had to evacuate the womb of this married lady who began to bleed just a week after finding out she was in early pregnancy; she being childless till date - she's had a couple of miscarriages in the recent past and a scan today proved once again the same matter of a miscarriage with some products of pregnancy retained, hence the needed evacuation. She'll need to see the Gynaecologist for a thorough check, the poor woman.

New Look Blog

Hello people, This health blog, as slow-paced at it's been for a while now, has taken a whole new look - the "dynamic view" option from Google's blogger.

Anyway, I'll be back to making entries from my scheduled clinical activities, soon.

The Year of The TRÉVOLUTION

Long time I've neglected this health-diary of mine, sorry people. Obviously, this is my first post this year, so... Happy New Year-of-the- TRÉVOLUTION! It's something new. Something I've bought whole-heartedly into and so I'm promoting it everywhere. It will make me wealthy, hopefully, through its compensation plan - I'll make no secret about that. Bought into it also to keep my family and I well armed to stay optimal in health from the point of view of it's supply to our body systems, of every known major nutritional metabolite - including herbs the world over, researched upon - all packaged in a bottled liquid, researched formulation. Sounds like some product promo, right? Well sure, I'm in it and so I'm promoting it. I believe in it professionally. Join the TRÉVOLUTION! ...oh, and, it's never too late to say it people - Happy New Year!
