THE VOICE

I have heard many times that medical personnel do hear incoherent voices and see some dead people, but I never believed it.

My team just finished a kidney transplant and the patient didn't make it. The donour survived.

It was really painful. What people do not know is that beyond being a doctor, we are also human.

We feel the pains of losing patients as much as their families do, too. We just don't show it.

The most painful ones are those we thought we've got everything right and all of a sudden, something happened, and before you know what is happening they are gone.

Many times in our closet, we cry for those lost souls. We cry for their families.

We may appear strong to you but beyond that smiling face or strong courageous and confident doctor, is a very gentle person that breaks down when you are not there.

The thing is, losing a patient is a failure in one's job. Just that, we don't dwell much on it. There is none we don't give our best to save.

Don't that we don't really give much attention to, it's based on their medical condition. We believe in the tests and reports at our disposal. That does not mean we negate the fact that miracles do happen.

“Please, one more try.”

I heard incoherently as I sat down in my car. Yes, it was late, but voices like that are rare. I thought it was one of the nurses.

Nurse Remi is a close pal. She lives close to my house. But the voice doesn't sound like hers.

After looking around and finding no one talking, I drove out of the car park and zoomed home.

My mind went back to the patient and I couldn't believe we lost him. Everything was in order. I soon took it as one of those losses when I couldn't pinpoint what really went wrong.

“Please, one more try.”

The voice came again as I was driving into my house. Suddenly, I felt someone was sitting behind me. I quickly turned but didn't see anybody.

I rushed out of my car, checked my boot, and checked the back seat very well.

I went inside my room and there it became evident that someone was following me.

I was about to open the fridge when I saw the shadow of someone. I paused and turned with speed. It was gone.

“My family will suffer if I die.”

The voice this time wasn't as calm as I anticipated, it came with anger. It slammed the door of my fridge.

I screamed and rushed to my couch. I became terrified.

“I know you are not happy about your life. I know you are not happy about the way things are going in your relationship. But none matters now. If I die, my kids will be tossed around like beggars and made to suffer in the hands of my relatives. I am not here to scare you, but you have got to save me. Just one try, I might survive this. The time is ticking.”

This time it was more audible. I had goosebumps all over my body as I cried uncontrollably. Why did the fellow choose to torment me like this?

“I am not God. I have tried all my best. Please go!!”

I cried out. There was no one at home with me. Then I felt the person was behind me. I froze.

“I don't want to die. For those kids' sake. They have suffered too much already. Things are just about to turn around for them. Please help me.”

The voice came too close to my ear. I froze. This is the closest I have experienced with a Ghost.

I trembled. I was shaking, sweating and crying at the same time.

Why he decided to come to me baffles me. I picked up my phone while pressing it, but it seems the phone too was scared. I looked around and was scared I was losing my mind. My mental and emotional health has just been punctured by this event.

“It's freezing here. I don't want to die. Please!!!”

The voice said. Immediately, there was a rushy wind blowing in my room for almost thirty seconds.

I tried painting, but it didn't work. I picked up the phone again. This time it works. I called my team to meet me in the hospital in 20mins.

Lo and behold, getting to the morgue, I found the body of the patient still warm after four or three hours.

Aside from that, I could feel a staggering push of his heart. The struggling flow of blood within his vein. He has a pulse.

My team members wouldn't believe me when I told them about my encounter with the man's ghost in the last 1hr/20mins.

We moved him to the theatre and after three hours, we were exhausted.

“At least you tried. Maybe this is how I am meant to end it. Thank you.”

The voice came so calm this time. It was a sound of disappointment. Of pain and agony.

“No!! I am not giving up on you!! You told me you don't want to go, and right now is not the time to give up. Give me a few more minutes and I will try again.”

I screamed. I wasn't sure what I was going to tell the resting crew. But they were looking at me, crying uncontrollably and touching the man's body.

“Fight back. It is your life. Fight for those kids. If you don't want to leave them, then fight and get your life back. Please don't give up. For the sake of your children. Please help me.”

I cried softly into his ears. I felt his fingers move. The team lead soon called me to step outside for a moment.

I went to my office and I couldn't help but pray. I have never been this emotional for a patient in my life.

I made countless promises to God to save the man. I cried, I screamed and sang to Him. It was a horrific time for me.

After an hour, the team came to my office. They were looking so exhausted and worn out. Their faces weren't appealing.

“We don't know what happened in your house. Likewise, we have no idea what happened there. We equally don't know why you brought us back and you are acting weird. The patient is not ready to give up, either. We are glad to tell you that a miracle happened there. Dr Oluchi, you just saved a man's life. Congratulations.”

The team leader said. I didn't even wait for her to land before I jumped on them.

It was the best thing that has ever happened to me in this profession. The team lead said they were shocked when the heart pumps out some blood by itself after being static for four hours. It was a miracle.

A week later, he was discharged and reunited with his family.

That single encounter changed my perspective about life. I cherished every meeting and the friends around me more.

The people who truly cared about you will always go the extra length to put a smile on your face.

When you see a nurse or a doctor today, hug them. They deserve all the love you can give.

Shout out to all the beautiful doctors and nurses. We appreciate your efforts in saving lives.

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he quot...

CLIFFORD HOYT: THE MAN WHO HAS SEEN HELL

CLIFFORD HOYT: THE MAN WHO HAS SEEN HELL I immediately make a premise. Many Paranormal groups report news similar to the one I am about to publish, about a certain Harry Hoyt, aged 31, who died in 1999 a few days after having an accident from which he woke up saying he saw Hell (and they put a scene from the movie “Hellraiser 2” as a photo). Well, what I found in my research is very different, although the common thread is the same. So it's up to you to decide which version is the right one (assuming one of the two is true). Let's go to the facts. The protagonist is Clifford Hoyt (not Harry: Harry Hyot is an American filmmaker to me), 31 who suffered serious injuries in a car accident due to icy asphalt in 1999, on his way home after a long day at work in Maryland. . He remained in a coma for a few hours and when he regained consciousness, he revealed to the nurse that he was looking after him that he had been sucked into a vortex that led him straight to Hell. He told of the p...

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Tragedy and Humiliation.

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Tragedy and Humiliation. U.S. and Australian brutalisation of women on the Japanese mainland. (Excerpt From Pages 66-69) All references are provided in the book itself. “There was a far darker side to the U.S. and allied occupation of Japan, one which is little mentioned in the vast majority of histories – American or otherwise. When Japan surrendered in August 1945, mass rapes by occupying forces were expected… [despite setting up of a comfort women which recruited or otherwise trafficked desperate women to brothels] such crimes were still common and several of them were extremely brutal and resulted in the deaths of the victims. Political science professor Eiji Takemae wrote regard- ing the conduct of American soldiers occupying Japan: ‘U.S. troops comported themselves like conquerors, especially in the early weeks and months of occupation. Misbehavior ranged from black-marketeering, petty theft, reckless driving and disorderly con...

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women. Women in concentration camps were subjected to brutal treatment and often faced more severe conditions than their male counterparts. The conditions in the camps were inhumane, and women were often subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. Women were treated differently in concentration camps than men. They were often separated from their families, forced to perform hard labor, and subjected to sexual abuse. Women who were pregnant were also subjected to harsh conditions and medical experimentation. Many women were killed, either as part of the genocide or because they were deemed too weak to continue working. One of the most notorious concentration camps where women were held was Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, women were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experimentation. Many were killed in gas chambers or through other forms of execution. The camp was designe...

Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War.

WARNING! PHOTO BELOW ARE NOT MET FOR THE WEAK HEART. Please note: The following subject matter is of immense importance, but could be difficult to read. There is a Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War. After entering a large museum in one of the world’s most ancient cities and the former capital of the Chinese empire, Nanking—or Nanjing as it’s known today—my 18-year-old daughter Sophia and I walked over a glass walkway that allowed us to look down 10 feet of earth and observe an ancient footpath. Lights highlighted the ground under the glass while the room we were in was dark. To our right hung numerous photographs on a black wall showing Japanese soldiers slaughtering Chinese citizens in December 1937 revealed by individual lights, the types one sees on art museum paintings. Dead babies, severed heads, piles of bodies on Yangtze River banks, and helpless prisoners of war were all documented there by photographs taken by the perpetrators themselve...

"Wooden Horse or Spanish Donkey"

"Wooden Horse or Spanish Donkey" The wooden horse, or Spanish donkey, was an extremely painful and gruesome medieval torture device. It was first used by the Holy Inquisition in France and then in Spain and Germany, and then migrated to the Americas, gaining prominence during the colonial period. The main design was the same wherever it was used. It was a triangular wooden box with a very sharp top end (ie where the horse's spine would be). The apparatus was constructed of wood, with planks nailed together to form a long, tapered ridge, which would serve as the horse's back. These were supported by four legs attached to a bracket, about 6 or 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 metres) high, with wheels fitted to the bottom of the legs so that the entire device could roll across the ground. A head and tail would be attached to make the torture device look like an almost “fun” huge wooden horse. The defendant would be mounted on the horse, with ankle weights...

The Grabenpanzer

The Grabenpanzer The Grabenpanzer, or Sappenpanzer (trench armor), also called lobster armor, was a German-made steel fist used as personal body armor during the “Great War.” The Grabenpanzer consists of four pieces of articulated steel: a large chest plate and three other plates that cover the user's abdomen and groin. The different plates were connected with canvas straps. Each plate also had a thick felt block inside to silence the sound of steel plates hitting. The armor divided into separate parts allowed the user to be more flexible. The Grabenpanzer weighed between 9 and 11 kg depending on the model and was generally combined with a thick steel front plate for the user’s Stahlhelm (helmet), which added even more weight to the soldier. For this very reason, the Grabenpanzer was not produced for assault troops, but for machine gun teams and soldiers in sentimental service, operating in static positions, where they were highly exposed and unprotected against an enemy rifleman. ...

Masha Bruskina.

Masha Bruskina. Masha Bruskina was a Russian teenage female partisan. She was a 17 year old Jewish high school graduate and was the first teenage girl to be publicly hanged by the Nazis in Belorussia (Belarus), since the German invasion of Soviet Union on the 22nd of June 1941. Her execution and that of the two men hanged with her took place on the 26th of October 1941 in the city of Minsk. In the photos of her, you will see that she has blond hair, but her natural colour was dark. She dyed her hair when she started to work for the underground. Witnesses to her hanging, testified that Masha struggled hard and lost control of her bladder and bowels. After hanging for three days, she and the men were taken down and only when her body was traditionally washed before her burial by local people and members of her family, did her dark hair show up. She worked as a nurse in a military hospital and was a member of an underground cell which...

Rubin Stacey, lynched victim, hanging from a tree

Rubin Stacey, lynched victim, hanging from a tree, surrounded by onlookers, including girls, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Rubin Stacy, 37 was a homeless tenant farmer who knocked on a white woman's door (Marion Jones) – she screamed, and he was arrested. As he was being led to jail by six deputies, a mob of about 100 overpowered them – ran their car off the road, and lynched him in sight of Marion's house, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Marion claimed she offered him a drink of water, but he tried to assault her with a knife, which she later recanted. A photo of the lynching was sent to President F.D. Roosevelt to persuade him to support the Costigan-Wagner Act which would bring federal prosecution to any law enforcement officers who failed to exercise their responsibilities during a lynching incident. - Roosevelt refused to support the bill claiming he would lose Southern votes in the next election.
