HOW DR NAMASAKA CHANGED MY CLINICAL ROTATIONS

HOW DR NAMASAKA CHANGED MY CLINICAL ROTATIONS Suleiman Ndoro Jnr (Dr Audi) Wednesday and Friday mornings were always major ward rounds day in the medical wards at Thika Level 5 Hospital.

He snoozed it with real optimism and continued lying on his bed as if in an acute paraplegic state hanging between fantasy and reality. Dr Barke, a General Practitioner at Medwax Family Hospital would have described to him better that he was in the paradoxical sleep, also known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Had he been connected to an electroencephalogram and the readings recorded for him, he would have seen the synchronous rhythm of his brain waves in his dream state. He woke up very disappointed.
