Hello Steemians,
My name is Dr. George aka @nairadaddy. I graduated from the prestigious University Of Nigeria with an excellent medical degree in 2014. This was after 6 tough years of Medical School.
For those that have a little perspective, you know what it means financially for a parent to raise a medical doctor. It cost thousands of dollars (or millions of Naira) for me to go through medical school. So why should I be doing this for free?
Sometimes I ask myself too! And I don't even know why? Lolx. Its not like I don't like to make money; far from that! If not for any other reason but for the fact that it took a lot of sleepless nights. Right?
I made my first cheque from medical practice in 2015 during my internship (aka House Job!). It did feel good to feel renumerated for the job. I must point out that its a lot of job actually.
Initially I had imagined that med-school was the toughest part. Nay! Sorry to disappoint you. Its not. After graduation thats when you begin the real hustle (whatever that is).
You spend long days at work. Sometimes you may not even see your family for days on end. The calls are stressful. Sometimes you may actually not even sit down for a whole frigging 24hrs.
If you are in an Emergency Unit for example or during Surgery postings you will literally be running from pillar to post to keep some patients alive. Yeah! Your ginger matters alot. What you do or don't do can keep a man alive or make him dead.
It still happens that many times, life still goes on despite all the efforts of the good doctor to retain the deceased in the earthly realm. Albeit, sometimes even after saving the life, you are not appreciated.
A "thank you" may be the most difficult thing you will ever get from some clients no matter how internally happy they are after you provide healthcare. SO why I'm I giving healthcare for free?
First of all I think its because I like to funk things up alot. Really? Yeah! I love to mix in the element of surprise in everything I do. I love to be exceptional and different. I love to stand out.
We all have been witnesses to a healthcare sector that is so expensive that many middle class families are finding it difficult to use it maximally. Now downscale a little and imagine what the poor must be going through. So does it now mean that health is only for the rich?
That's the question that plagues me everyday in my lonely times. Really, Who will bell the cat? or put more succintly who will heal the unhealthy cat? God? or Humanity?
Another attribute of mine is that I love to be the one with solutions to problems. I have always loved solving complex issues. Perhaps thats why I did excellently well in Mathematics back in my Secondary school days. I also excelled in computer studies.
My personal mantra is "SOLUTIONS are the way forward" . So many people dwell on the existing problems and rather complain about it. I observed something though; sulking has never solved anything. Instead it adds another layer sadness and worry* to the equation which unbalances it.
When that happens you know where the scale tilts to? It just disorganizes our world. There are just too many problems awaiting solutions and healthcare is one of them.
To me, health is the first need of every man. Not food. Not cloth. Not shelter. Definitely Not Money. If a person is not healthy, all these other pleasures become unpleasurable. An ill person cannot eat ( loss of appetite ). An ill person loses sense of a lot of things. WHo gives a frigging rat's ass what you are wearing when you are ill?
Ill-health sucks! The current system sucks too! So when you combine ill-health with the current system, you get a sucker. Lolx. Could it be made better? Many said "No" but I said "YES".
SUPERHERO-DADDY: "Impossible Is Nothing, Remember?"
I'm on a blockchain that tells me everyday that Impossible Is Nothing. And I believe that with every atom in every cell in every nerve in my body. I trust the Steem blockchain to hand me over a machine to design a future that will outlast time itself. The legacy I want to build in the health sector is not for the short-term but for a long long haul. Even after I'm gone, #AIR-CLINIC will still stand as that new system that changed the way things of the old were done.
WHY Not?
Gone are the old days of doing things the old way. This is a new era in healthcare and I'm happy to one of the people championing it.
In Martin Luther King (jnr)'s voice; I have a dream that one day, those that seek healthcare will no longer be judged by the size of their pockets but by the gravity of their illness. I have a dream that everyone will have access to quality healthcare.
Free doesn't mean poor quality in any way. This is human life. Everyone deserves a chance at quality standard healthcare comparable with that in every part of the world. That's what we endeavour to provide everyday at #AIR-CLINIC. Infact we aim for better services than the best.
✓ We are the first HOSPITAL that involves the clients in a preventive approach to healthcare via our daily discussions.
✓ Our CONSULTATIONS ARE PRIVATE which means that your secrets are safe with your healthcare service providers.
✓ We are already working on something; A SYSTEM THAT WILL REWARD YOU generously for visiting our hospital. Imagine a world where you get paid for seeking healthcare instead of the other way round.
Without spilling out everything in our coffers, or letting the cats outta the crypto-bags, I'll draw a conclusion here.
I am a medical doctor aka The Blockchain Doctor. So this is what you get when you combine a medical degree, a crypto-universe that believes in impossibilities and of course a heart that cares deeply.
Yeah! We could actually fulfill the dreams of Michael Jackson and Heal The World... we can Make it a better place...for you and for me and the entire human race...
We can defeat avoidable deaths by preventative health education first and early treatment of ailments. I, Dr. George; a citizen of the world hereby pledge my knowledge for the betterment of the people of the world!
May God Bless Our Good Intentions & Actions!
AMEN!

Thanks @gadgetaddict for the shower of praise. Jah is our source of life and inspiration. Keep steeming!
At a point in here I felt so alone, so happy I stumbled on your post, you may not understand but I just want to say this is a huge motivation to me and I hope more steemians will appreciate this in that direction. Thanks alot.
Hey @shawnnn,

#AIR-CLINIC
On a fast lane, nothing is impossible.
I am a cartoon lover, lemme share with you this lines.
Never stop being amazing sir.
Sadly I never took pictures with you. 😔 😔.
Lolx @magdnrobinson. We will meet soon for the outreach!
@nairadaddy lovley write up, @air-clinic is a revolution, its a time bomb ticking and waiting to explode, many medical elders may find it difficult to comprehend because of their gap in the knowledge of technology, but we the younger generation are lucky this happened during our era.
By the time more doctors come on board, then there might just be a glimmer of hope for humanity. So far, the @air-clinic has been organised , integrating health care and giving a platform to air confusions about health.
Its becoming an addiction to me because i also can serve humanity from my own little corner in the world.
Thanks @nairadaddy for this great initiative, and for becoming a trail blaizer. More grease to your elbow bro
@antigenx
Thank you bro @antigenx. I'm glad we are a part of the future of medicine.
Keep steeming in the Clinic!
I am a German doctor (psychiatrist). If you need any support in the mental health section.... Just send a note. I will try to join the air-clinic on discord as well. I answered medical question on a multilingual webpage for some years for free... Martin
Thank you for getting involved @martinwinkler. Let's bring people closer to healthcare. Cheers!
Yes yes yes yes!!! Damn bro you are such an inspiration to me.. I love that you are all about helping people.. I know you say you don't know why you do it, but i do.... It's because it feels amazing to help people! regardless of money.. and you sir are truly helping people..
I feel honored to have you as a friend, and maybe one day I will make enough money in cryptos to help you expand your free clinic! Maybe we met for a reason. ;)
I have never heard truer words spoken! I have been on a journey to better health for over a year now and I can't even begin to describe how amazing I feel! I always tell people that if they could buy a drug to make them feel as good as I do from clean eating and exercise, people would pay whatever the cost. But what they don't understand is basically free to exercise and eat organic. (Sure the food cost a bit more but when you cut out all the other junk food and fast food you eat, you end up saving money). We need better education about health!
Id keep commenting but this is getting ridiculously long! lol.
Lolx @moderndayhippie. Thank you for the ridiculously long comment. I appreciate. Never to worry, that crypto money is coming already.
Indeed what we need to do is Live Healthy Lives. Eat clean. Exercise. Live Free. And most of our health problems will poof ...disappear.
Let's Keep helping people... one minnow at a time.
Cheers!
Nice one doc, and it's a good thing you got yourself into. 2018 will be a blast.
Thanks bro. It is definitely a good thing! There future is the sun!
The amazing part is that you do it selflessly and effortlessly. I must commend you for that @nairadaddy or Dr. Gorge I think I prefer that one.
It an only get better I wish you a wonderful life. I know that health is tge first thing that a man need and am happy you have dedicated your whole self to doing that. Well done.
This is an excellent project, can't wait to see how many people you help through the air-clinic.
Wow, so excellent iniciative, Congrats, you have a big heart, I would like to be part of this... Greetings from Venezuela.
