#i3DOSAGES - #DOSAGE-XIII. - What Is Your Sacrifice...? 1. So like every other committed professional, she resumed work on Sunday the 20th of July 2014 like any other day. Work was all the regulars till a particular patient was rushed in, in a weird-like emergency dash from the airport. 2. He was running beyond-humanly-tolerable body temperature, he was dehydrated and displaying all the sundry malaria fever symptoms. 3. The burly patient that she admitted had just flown in from nearby Monrovia. What Airport security was ill-equipped to detect, however, was an even DEADlier NATIONAL THREAT - the virulent etiological agent for EBOLA! 4. In her, an epidemic found its MATCH that EFFECTIVELY STOPPED its INCURABLE MATCH of DEATH. OBLIGATIONS to the Hippocratic Oath of her noble profession COMPELLED this amiable Senior Consultant Physician to do NO HARM but ONLY GOOD. 5. Her august patient had just landed from ENDEMIC Liberia with DISTINCTIVE symptoms; therefore, she summoned UNCOMMON COURAGE, POLITELY but FIRMLY IGNORED her patients RUDE, ROUGH and REPEATED denials of her HOSPITABLE TREATMENT. She QUERIED Ebola nonetheless, arranged for blood analysis, and SKILLFULLY turned his hospitalization into quarantine! 6. As soon as his test from the laboratory came back presumptive positive, she PROMPTLY ALERTED Federal and State Health Ministries. In so doing, she IDENTIFIED the INDEX EBOLA PATIENT on NIGERIAN SOIL, STOPPED NATIONWIDE SPREAD ...of the DEADly virus, and SAVED A NATION from an EPIDEMIC! 7. While she GAVE him MEDICAL CARE for his DISEASE, he GAVE her MEDICAL DISEASE for her CARE! But she PATIENTLY absorbed the IMPACT of the INFECTION that she CONTRACTED unwittingly WITHOUT SPREADING IT. In so doing, she SACRIFICIALLY SAVED her COUNTRY and AVERTED a LOOMING EPIDEMIC that was not! 8. By DENYING her patient medical clearance to proceed to Calabar, she SELFLESSLY in a SACRIFICIAL ACT of NATIONAL SERVICE SAVED 170 MILLION Nigerians (YOU- if you are Nigerian and I INCLUSIVE) from an IMMINENT EPIDEMIC! 9. So since my country Nigeria was not so FAVOURED like Liberia in the fascist disposition of the United States of America to have received the experimental ZMAPP from the US to cure her in good time, this admirable ANGEL and AGENT of NATIONAL SALVATION froze in the cold hands of death on Tuesday, 19th of August 2014 (2 days ago). 10. Yes! , with HER VERY LIFE, she made a SUPREME SACRIFICE but SAVED a FEAR-SLAIN NATION from OMINOUS EBOLA EPIDEMIC! I. Like Dora Akunyili of Nigeria, she went out in a BLAZE OF GLORY! II. Like Princess Diana of Wales, HER CANDLE burnt out LONG BEFORE HER LEGEND EVER WILL. III. Like Mother Theresa of Calcutta, her SWEET, SELFLESS, SACRIFICIAL and SERVING SPIRIT now dwell with the Saints...where she INDEED BELONGS. 11. Today, with a LEAD-HEAVY heart, TEAR-GLAZED eyes and SELF-RE-EXAMINING thoughts I STAND IN SALUTE of your DEADly SACRIFICE, DEADicated SERVICE and DEAD-to-self STRENGTH of CHARACTER, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, for you DIED a HERO! 12. In my introspection I ask myself: WHAT is my SACRIFICE to HUMANITY? ...HOW will I be REMEMBERED when I am long gone? 13. The SAME I am OBLIGED to ask YOU even as I type with beads of cold-tears uncontrollably trickling down my cheeks RIGHT NOW...my dear reader, WHAT IS YOUR SERVICE and SACRIFICE to HUMANITY? 14. HOW will YOU be REMEMBERED when YOU are LONG GONE? 15. I. As a LEGEND or a LEDGE-END? II. As an ANGEL or an AGE-HELL? III. As a HERO or a HORROR? 16. I have come to agree that at the end of our lives we DO NOT REGRET the things we FAILED at but those things we WISHED FOR but NEVER ATTEMPTED. 17. NOW there is STILL time to SEIZE the MOMENT and SERVE YOUR GENERATION like Dora, Diana, Mother Theresa and Dr. Adadevoh DID and are now being IMMORTALISED for their SACRIFICE. 18. I do believe that WHAT we do for ourselves, we take to our graves, WHAT WE DO FOR OTHERS we LEAVE BEHIND. 19. WHAT are YOU DOING NOW that can be considered a SELFLESS SACRIFICIAL SERVICE for which you may be GLOWINGLY REMEMBERED when YOUR time on earth is over? 20. WHAT will be that EPITAPH on YOUR TOMB STONE? Today, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, you make me fine tune mine which I penned years ago. What about YOU? 21. The descendant of the first African Anglican Bishop - Samuel Ajayi Crowther and great grand daughter of Nigerias founding father - Herbert Macaulay, has FOUGHT a GOOD FIGHT, Dr. Ameyo ...Stella Adadevoh has KEPT THE FAITH...WILL YOU? (Selah...) I wish you an amazing FIGHT!
