Mashup Score: 34Learned helplessness - 4 month(s) ago
It was my first job after medical school, and I barely lasted a week. I started work as a house officer at a state-owned hospital in southwest Nigeria a couple of years ago after graduating from medical school. My first posting was to the obstetrics and gynaecology unit. Part of my role there was to see all the new patients presenting to the department and then inform my senior colleagues about them.

Mashup Score: 8
What would Thomas Wakley, who founded The Lancet in 1823, make of medicine today? Progress over the past two centuries has been remarkable. Antiseptics and anaesthetics in surgery, life-saving devices and drugs, childhood and adult immunisation, the development of clinical trials, and digital health care are just a few of the advances that have improved patients’ lives. There has also been increased scrutiny of medical power, including medical paternalism, the colonial foundations of global health, the inequities of race-based medicine, and medical misogyny.
