Diary Of Doc Diva

Hey Everyone,

Hope you all are having a great weekend? On Friday, I started a new rotation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and boy! It was the most overwhelming thing ever! There were really sick patients and I had no idea where to start. For the first few hours I didn't feel that I could make it through the day. By the end of what seemed to be a not-so-long 7am - 4pm shift, I was sure that I didn't want to be an Intensivist (doctor specialized in Intensive Care). Yesterday, I was on call, it was a loooooooooong day! I was there from 6am to 8pm, but it felt like I had been there for 2 days! LOL.  

Today, while I was cringing at the thought of having to go back to work tomorrow, I rebuked myself almost immediately! I decided to look at the bigger picture; I am healthy, I have a job, a means of getting to work, I have friends, family, a roof over my head, food, I can eat, see, hear, I woke up this morning, I can walk, talk, think, laugh, the list goes on. Just then, I remembered my patients in the ICU, some are young, some are old, some have been unconscious for the past few days, some months, some are being fed through tubes, one was healthy a few days ago, three days later he is unconscious, just like that. I remembered their families, who sit by their bedside praying for just one more opportunity to talk to their loved ones. I remembered the patient who had a heart attack, and almost died, but for the timely intervention of the medical team. I started to think of the world around us, the wars, the bloodshed, the suffering, the hunger, the homeless, and I couldn't believe how fortunate I am. At that moment, I started to thank God, for the little things, for the big things, for everything!

So 2 weeks ago, my girlfriends, Queeneth and Audrey came to visit me in Jersey, and we decided to all go to the Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA), so I decided to wear this outfit by Prabal Gurung. As I had mentioned previously, when the Prabal Gurung collection for Target was debuted at Target, I bought almost every piece from the Collection, because I instantly fell in love! If you missed the previous post, view it Here. The shorts and Blazer were separate pieces, but I decided to pair it together with a floral top, I bought last year, but never had the chance to wear. I chose a sleek up do, black and silver accessories, and dark lips to complete the look. Hope you like the outcome! Shout out to my cousin, Tita for taking these pictures at 3am, after we came home... Enjoy!

I love Nigerian designer, Duro Olowu's pieces! The color, fabric, texture, everything about his designs are tres fab! From runway to high street, his pieces have a tendency to keep your head turning! He is not afraid to mix prints, and that adds the WOW factor. A few days ago, I saw his Spring 2014 Collection, and all I kept thinking was how to get a hold of these pieces! He definitely did an amazing job with this collection, and I am sure you would agree!

Hey Everyone,

It's almost Flu season! If you are in certain parts of the world, then you know it's time to go and get the flu vaccine. Getting the flu vaccine doesn't mean you won't get the flu, it means that you will protected against certain strains of Influenza.

Below are answers to questions you might have  regarding this year's Influenza vaccine...

Love is a beautiful thing! However, some men believe that all that lovey dovey stuff is cheesy. I will tell you though, from a woman's perspective that there is nothing as impressive as a man who is in love, and is not afraid to show it, more so when it comes to your wife! It is also very amazing to see a man who treats his wife like a princess, most woman love that, I know I would too! When you show your wife soo much love, I can almost guarantee that she will reciprocate 10 times over! Ever heard the saying, "happy wife, happy life?!" Do not get me wrong, we women have to put in just as much work! Anyways, a friend shared this article with me today, and I thought it was an amazing read, so I thought to share... It is long, but I hope it motivates you to be the best husband/lover/friend and if you already are, then keep up the good work!  :)
