Resilience in Healthcare

Just a few weeks after completing my medical internship, I travelled five hours from West Kiambu to Meru for what I believe was my first job interview.

I walked into a room with a panel of three doctors. Friendly, calm, welcoming.

The chair of the panel stood out. Warm in his tone, gentle in his demeanor, yet incredibly detailed in his questions.

I left the interview relaxed but uncertain.

I did not get the job.

What I did not know then was that the friendly chair of that panel would later become a senior colleague, a friend, and a mentor.

Dr Stanley Aruyaru embodies simplicity in how he interacts with people, yet he is a meticulous surgeon, teacher, and health care leader.

I recently read his new book, Blade Wisdom: A Surgeonโ€™s Guide to Life Beyond the Theatre.

Let me tell you, it is a masterpiece.

Each chapter begins with a story, builds a bridge, and leaves you with a life lesson. And yes, this time the gallbladder gets more attention than the appendix.

Some people once asked whether anything good can come from the gallbladder.

Come and see.

On 21 March from 9 in the morning, Dr Stanley Aruyaru will be launching the book at iHub Lavington.

Do not follow the popular advice that tells you to follow your passion. Follow where there is real opportunity and income.
Many young people are misled into choosing courses only because they sound exciting or feel meaningful. Years later they graduate and discover that the job market has no space for them. Passion does not pay school fees. Skills and demand do.
Research in psychology shows that passion often grows after you become competent at something. People tend to enjoy work more when they see progress, mastery, and financial stability. Very few people are passionate at the beginning. Passion is built through success, not dreams.
Career and labor market studies also show that choosing courses with low demand leads to unemployment or long periods of job searching. In contrast, graduates who choose skills that are needed in the economy earn earlier, gain experience faster, and have more options later in life.
This does not mean you must hate your work. It means you should first choose something that allows you to eat, support yourself, and grow. Once you are stable, you can shape your career, specialize, or even turn your interests into profitable paths.
For high school graduates and parents in Kenya, the right question is simple. After graduation, where will this course allow me to earn from.
Choose courses with real job openings. Learn practical and transferable skills while studying. Build income first. Passion will follow.

For Students And Parents...

Most students do not fail because they are not intelligent.

They fail because their attention is broken.
Phones. Noise. Pressure. Fear. Endless scrolling.
The brain never settles long enough to learn.

One powerful reset I share in this video is reading non-academic books like novels.

Not for entertainment.

But to retrain focus, imagination, memory, and mental stamina.

When you read a story, your brain learns to stay with one idea for long periods again.

That skill quietly returns to your textbooks.
Your concentration improves.
Your recall sharpens.
Your confidence comes back.

This is how an academic comeback begins.
Not with pressure. With mental retraining.

If you are a student preparing for 2026, or a parent worried about your childโ€™s focus, this message is for you.

DATING DOCTORS FOR BENEFITS

In my few years of working, I discovered something interesting. As a young male doctor in Kenya, I suddenly appeared very attractive to many young women. Sumptuous. Palatable. Visually nutritious.

For a brief moment, I thought I had finally become visible to the feminine world.

Alas.

It was not me. It was my pocket and by extension my title that was doing the heavy lifting.

So I dated, but with intention and strong guardrails.

On dates, I would casually ask a dangerous question.
โ€œSo what are your expectations?โ€

About ninety percent of the ladies never wanted to answer this directly.

Later, I understood why. Clarity is expensive. Clarity sets boundaries. Clarity demands accountability. And as they say, clarity and vibes are like water and oil.

So expectations remain unspoken. Floating. Waiting.

Then chaos erupts later when those unspoken expectations are not met.

Eloi. Eloi.

Some women were however, very clear about their expectations. Some were reasonable. Others required a supplementary budget and divine intervention.

At first, I thought it was only young male doctors catching strays in these streets.

Eloi again.

Then I heard the testimonies of my counterparts, the young female doctors.

Enter stage left. The muscular gym enthusiast with a deep voice. Romantic. Masculine. Calm. Emotionally available. Consistent. Listens actively. Does housework while she is busy at work.

Premium package.

disappear
Fast forward a few months. Four hundred thousand shillings disappear. Sometimes consciously into a certain project that was supposed to multiply tenfold. At other times, it's mysterious, like airtime on a dual-SIM phone.

These stories are not isolated incidents.

may want to approach it slightly differently, treating it
Lesson of the year. Dating while actively working is rarely a pure love affair. You may want to approach it slightly differently, treating it more like an interview than usual.

And a proverb from the Luhya community sums it up perfectly.

"When you visit your in-laws for negotiations, do not eat until you have discussed and resolved what brought you there. If you eat before you talk, you will be saying yes and amen to all their demands".

Happy end of 2025 and welcome to 2026.

These are real stories, by the way๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…
