Organ theft in UK Hospitals

[NinBrown]

well this guy has conflict of interest if he is telling everyone to come and see him.

 

The camera test was gastrocpoy(OGD, but it has complications too.

 

Translators in other laguages have to have a medical translation qualification, somali translators hardly understand the medical process themselves

 

Ibti: u seem to be upto date in these issues, maybe you should do something to raise awereness of these problems in our community. It has a huge adverse effect and it should be addresed.

 

People already have issues with me cos they think I am defending the NHS, cos I work in it.

[Ibtisam]

aah it goes in the other way. LOOOL She thought you guys looking inside her will cure her. Maskeen, its all physiological sometimes, if you had done it, she would've probably said I feel better despite no treatment

 

NinBrown the people affected by these myth tend to be the older generation. They will never listen to me or you or anyone who does not add to their stories, simple because it is matter of “you’ve been brainwashed, don’t you know what happened to heblayo” I’ve been going in circles with my family for a long time. It needs a more systematic approach for targeted education rather than events. IF I had the medical background and skills I would’ve hosted an open workshop which operates all year around, helping Somali people get a better understanding of their treatments and the information they are being given. It would be like a steping stone between the health care services and community. In the long term it may foster trust and open communication. If only someone will take it up.

i think the community will benefit with someone who has back ground experience in this issues, specially someone who is involved (with the NHS)

 

haa ninbrown adigan kuu wadaa.

 

we need to have basic understanding, our people are difficult runtii, because they are always raising unrelated issues to their illnesses.

 

i recently met a medical expert that i use alot, he said somalida wuxuu allocation usiiyaa 20 minutes, because they always bring x-rays, cat-scans, MRI scans they obtained from germany, italy, syria or dubai. they also tend to talk about various health problems.

 

this poses problems because it is difficult to get a clear picture.

 

maybe simple guidelines is needed. i had cagaarshow in 1972 wont suffice.

Does the NHS have leaflets in Somali?

[NGONGE]

Stuff and nonsense (not Nino but all the I heard and I was told anecdotes)! Substantiate your stories and do not be like the fools the author of the thread is asking about. This is serious enough for you to NAME NAMES if you have to. Otherwise naga daaya.

 

I heard of a guy who had a cough and when he went to hospital, they stole his lungs. He told me himself. True story.

Only if its about FGM. There is no coverage of routine medical issues.

[SayidSomal]

LOL@NG nin waalan!

 

 

myths, waxaa la yiri, i heard, Somalis this and that, heblaayo, run iyo been, and finally - Walaahi dheh

 

Wareer badanaa!! to borrow garab tuujiyes phrase.

[N.O.R.F]

^LoL

 

Ngonge, this is not a debate saxib. we are trying to find the best way of informing Somalis about medical conditions and procedures. Some of the stories could be true or false but what is agreed is that Somalis and especially the older generation DO need informing.

[NGONGE]

^^ It is a debate when those who will do the informing appear to be more ignorant than their audience.

[-Lily-]

LOL@Ngonge, saying 'we heard' not 'we believe' is not the same thing. The fact that we all 'heard' shows how widespread this is...

[N.O.R.F]

What is agreed is that Somalis are misinformed (ignore the stories).

[SayidSomal]

^^ fair enough, i guess you have point. however i haven't seen any viable solutions yet apart from tv channel thing and Dr Macaow is a specialist in Somalis and their cagaarshow in 1970s, hence why he knows about everything.

[Paragon]

^Is Dr Macoow really certified? Dadku seem to be all Injineere iyo Ditoore these days.

 

Anyway, inform people. It's needed now.

[Juxa]

Dr macoow waa dhaqtar guud, or so i heard:)

I think what Universal TV is doing a decent job on educating people about health problems. But I cant help but notice most of these issues can easily be solved. Whatsmore, its interesting to hear some of the bizzare conditions that somali people live with.

 

Once a old Somali man had a a lump on his throat. He didn't know what it was and asked the doctor. The doctor said it might be cancer and the old man was shocked and his voiced changed and he seemed really shocked. its real television! The calls should be anonymous but they insist on asking for their names and where they are from.
