Doctor’s day out

 


Doctor’s day out

            An apple a day keeps the doctor away. It could be true, or not. Nonetheless, these people also require social support like the rest of us. This is an article dedicated to the men and women who fought hard for the world during the Covid-19 pandemic. Were it not for these people and their dedication to their skillset and many hours behind labs figuring out this Corona virus. It is quite awkward that these men and women are not internationally recognized. I would by so much pleasantry to at least see them on TV. Furthermore, doctors too should eat apples and stay healthy like the rest of us. In hospitals, these medics dwell and borne their craft every day diagnosing patients. Quite an honor to restore health, its actually god-like. Ha-ha.

            It is with a plight of concern that doctors especially in our country face in their work stations. Here in Kenya, these challenges too come up, and it is up to them to navigate through them like the rest of us. Back in primary school (Now known as Junior…), if you heard your classmate claim they would be doctors in future, that alone would leave a mark in their character. These fellows would score 90% in almost all their tests. They all edged in the first positions in class. Cheers to them wherever they are. (Kerugoya Good Shepherd Academy, Class of 2006, Cheers again). Sasa ata mwalimu wa Maths akiulizwa hapa ni wapi, watasema wanajua kule wako. Doctors ought too have their plights recognized.

            An apple a day keeps the doctor away. I wonder where all these doctors go assuming people eat apples on a daily. One would think on this matter and come to a realization. A profound one of course. The Covid-19 was a big menace in that the world’s best doctors found four vaccines that saved the world. Kudos to them. I heard somewhere that it could take a lifetime to get an accolade equal to such achievements as the Corona vaccines. They sure do deserve some recognition, and too should eat apples, maybe have a day out

. End.

Observing Order

 


            Back in my campus days, I used to glide on class timetables. If I had one class a day then they would find themselves free most of the day, maybe with a lover, or even at the local pub. Kenyatta University that was, in between the years of 2012 and 2015. Then I pursued economics unlike now the pangs of programming are nibbling at my neck. What I did not have was order. Order which would have made me sub-consciously complete my Bachelors and earn a hefty sum at such a young age. Nonetheless, it is the same Bible that blesses us reminds that the Almighty set a path even before we were born, so, I put all my trust in Him. Order is what I achieved after I made mistakes which made me stumble on this great nick I have for writing. Observing order is the synthesis of something magical, and the good thing is, it can last a lifetime.

            Back when I lived on timetables and cheap liquor, life was easy. As in it was a routine that made us redundant with tine because, we feared taking on usual challenges life brought upon us.  For me, I found it hard maintaining a healthy relationship with the opposite gender. For some, the cheap liquor morphed into some expensive drinks and thus, the woes of the working adult begin. Late nights, thrilling chats, and the glorious mornings. This lifestyle is the replica of the timetable methodology I experienced in my days at KU. Such euphoria goes on until life catches up with them and they are either in debt or stuck in hospital wards. Observing order is necessary if we want to live satisfactory long lives. And my cue, we are the most advantageous breed of humanity there has ever been I that we are connected through technology.

            Observing order, is henceforth a tool in the toolkit of life. I for instance, published a book, started a blog, and went back to school regardless of the usual constraints of age and the like. In our different environments, there are different scopes of order, which we follow. And when we do this, we create a synthesis of different forms of order, which in turn brings in a societal function; thus, creating the society at large. It is through such a following of command, rules, regulations, mandates, and achievements, we get to maintain this order. An order where a group of twenty would follow and adhere to for the rest of their lives either consciously or sub-consciously. It is through order that we find biblical heroes like Moses lead large masses of people through the thickest of situations and for long periods without much of a fuss and disorder. Because if there were such disorder, the Israelites would not have left Egypt. Observe order and reap the fruits.

            To date, I still relish I had had order in my campus days. Maybe, I would be sitted at some executive office. Or rather my own audit firm within the outskirts of the city. Anyway, I observed order and today I happily pass on the baton of knowledge through my words. Observe order.
