Hi Blogville, Hi Instablogs.

The writer is back from hibernation, with a short story, now published online here.

Behind the Door - The Plug

Here is a personal encounter of a young man with a phlebotomist. I am very enthusiastic about the story for two reasons, and more. The first is that it is my first short story published online. The second reason is for the subject of the story - healthcare. The responses I got for writing an account that is just mostly personal and observatory has encouraged me to read more about the issues it touches.

I hope you all enjoy it, and leave comments.

Behind the Door is published by Story Time Africa.

As I already mentioned in the blog,

”The less we know-the better we sleep. That is how things are going at your clinic, probably.”

Well, I have to agree with you only about how things are going on in Nigeria.

As per the other one where you said ”The less we know, the better we sleep”, I beg to differ. Or at least, permit me to add that even though the better we sleep when we know less, it’s still better to know more, especially if it is a life and death situation like this one.

What do you think?

Mate, you are right theoretically.

Also “curiosity killed a cat”, “a life is a continuing study”.

Seriously, lucky those who can get a real treatment for their illnesses if even not AIDS.
