I'm Sorry Ninja, I was also diagnosed wrongly when I was pregnant, and the Dr pressurized to to do an abortion but I refused but I went through depression through out my pregnant, and today I have a beautiful and healthy baby boy.
And back in the day, degree were achieved according to a certain colour, hence the problem of colour at certain universities in South Africa. Question papers are sold to the elite who can afford.
Black woman around the world are facing this problem especially America.Please guys ALWAYS ALWAYS get a second opinion and when going to give birth please try to get someone black in the room. I AM SO SO SO SORRY OWAMI 😢💔 I have a similar story.
This makes me so so angry. I had a similar story. My dad fell sick and we went to the doctor he concluded my dad has arthritis. He had go in every 3months months for subscription but he was not getting better. One day I was in town and I bumped into his assistant. His assitant told me i should not go there anymore becouse the doctor just intentionally misdiagnose people so he could get as much money as he can from them and when their bout to die he transfers them to the hospital so the do not die on his practice. I immediately took my father to the hospital only to find out he has stage 4 cancer. If we knew in time we could have had time to fight it. Their so many evil people out there who don't have passion or good intentions. M so sorry ❤hope you feel better soon.
Yoh 😢 I'm so sorry you went through that😢 similar thing happened to my dad, he had a cyst in his brain and had it surgically removed but when he wasn't recovering quickly enough, he went back and they told us they removed the cyst but didn't remove the membrane of the cyst, so he had to do a second surgery. He never heald properly from the second surgery and lost his ability to walk. He is an angel of mine in heaven now. But I always think about if things would be different if the doctors got it right the first time.
When you go to a private doctor with a medical aid all they do is try to cash out till you run out of funds. Their main goal is to get as much money from you as possible. They will have you do all these unnecessary test and visits just to maximise how much they can get from you. Its sad know this I used to work as a receptionist at a local surgery.
I believe this they don't want to see medical aid 😮😮😮these doctors need to be called out seriously. There is someone in potchefstroom once said I have kidney problems after testing my urine, then said I must come back. 😂😂😂I never set my foot there again I was like this guy is bogus Doc he don't know what he is talking about me kidneys is this Doc crazy kidneys are life and death that doctor said if don't come back my kidneys might fail, then he claimed R700 consultation fee after wrongly diagnosed me. It's been 5years without going to doctors.
When I ws pregnant with my 1st child I ws told I'm hiv + at 8 months because we test every trimester, they even gv me arv n I refused n got a 2nd opinion and the results said -, in my 3rd pregnancy I ws told my child cud be born with down syndrome and my son is 4 yrs now and there's nothing like that. These are some of the reasons most ppl especially elderly don't wanna go to hospital when they're sick
Throughout my life, I don't just take a Dr diagnosis. I do my own research to understand the cause. Most diseases are related to poisonous foods that we eat. Medication will not cure e.g diabetes while you continue eating what caused the problem. I struggled with bad sinuses, Irritable bowel, eczema; only to find later that they are caused/ exacerbated by my intolerence to lactose, wheat, and gluten. All my illnesses disappeared. During that process, the ENT at Millpark did a scan that determined that I need to do an operation to reduce swelling in my sinuses. I refused because when I asked if the op was a permanent solution, he said no. I went to Dr specializing in nutrition, I am healed.
There was a time too that I was diagnosed with hypertension after 1 reading. I was in disbelief that at age 22. I could have hypertension. It’s not impossible though. I sought 2nd opinion and Dr B was so mad at doctor because Dr A didn’t even do thorough checkup. Generally, it is normal to have a slightly higher blood pressure reading if you are stressed or going through something, which also doesn’t guarantee to be placed on meds. To be placed on that medication you need a measure yourself for a period of time (30 days ) and if it’s high you go on medication. I was so lucky I only drank 1 pill and never looked back. Imagine I would’ve been on meds for life. I am glad I listened to my intuition. You’ll be fine queen Ninja, so sorry you had to go through this❤. To anyone diagnosed, ALWAYS seek second opinion even with operations etc.

sorry girl. I had so many horrible experiences with wyt doctors, i go out of my way to find black doctors. I will drive far or go to a different province for someone black, qualified and who will listen. Second opinions matter too. Advocate for yourself. Basile labantu😢
This is not small Owamie. I have an aunt who was also misdiagnosed with cancer at a government hospital. Imagine she even started with Chemo. Imagine something told her to get a second opinion at another hospital ,and that was after starting with chemo only to find out she doesnt have cancer😮😮. It still breaks my heart. I wish she could sue them. Sorry about that🫂 That happened like over 15 years ago. My aunt is still fine
My son has a problem of nose bleeding his father took him to a specialist and he suggested a surgery. His dad told the Dr let me talk to his mom for approval and the Chinese Dr said why are you asking her she is not the one who is sick 😢. I refused!!!
I have hyperthyroidism and I go for blood tests every month to monitor the progress. If it drops too much then it will become hypothyroidism and I don't wish that on anyone.
This is painful… Owami, sending you love and light. You are brave to share your personal stories with us. We are listening, we are learning. The worst case scenario didn’t happen! Please focus on that… you still have your womb, you are off the chronic medication, your health will be restored!! ❤
I went to a white male doctor who yelled at me and told me he doesnt have time for this when i reacted to the needle. And he was like arent you a little too old to be afraid of needles. He was in Oakdene Johannesburg south its the practice next to the pre school i forgot the name, It was my first and last time there
I encountered a similar problem, 2 years ago I injured my knees, started exhibiting rheumatoid arthritis symptoms due to the intensity of the injury. I remember going to this "white" doctor who after I had disclosed some of the symptoms wanted to diagnose me right there and then, he even prescribed medication for me, we had a contention as I refused to take any medication without proper medical procedures. Thankfully, my aunt is within the medical fraternity, post expressing what had transpired, she quickly explained to me what I was to do (which was to rest my knee for a year) and today as I type this, I am fully okay even back to my active life again.
I am so glad that you got a chance to get second opinion. I don't think it is a problem of racism in this particular case because I lost my first child due to a black doctor that was quick to book me to a session of cutting my fallopian tube claiming my baby was ectopic - meaning the baby was growing in a tube. Only for him to remove my child in the womb, claiming the child was dead, that doctor scrubbed by womb. Only for my child to show up two weeks later still trying to grow even when the womb was scrubbled. The other gynaecologist tried their best to save my child for another 6 more weeks but unfortunately the womb was no longer conducive for the foetus to survive, I miscarried. Only 6 weeks after he said my baby died, actually died. That is when I learnt that a second and a third opinion is important
Its not about race for godsake. ANC is fully black yet you can see they dont even care what black people go through 😂 so on the basis of skin color someone will be good 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm so sorry you had to go through all that .I was also misdiagnosed in 2014 ,by a white female doctor at one of Midrand's Medical Centres near boulders ,she also told me I had an inverted womb ,I was so freaked out , especially cause I was only 21 at that time ,thank God my mom was still alive and she convinced me to just ignore it,but that traumatised me for years. For years I thought I won't be able to have kids ,it haunted me for many years, especially when I first met my husband and he was so excited about us having a baby ,all that would go through my mind is can I even ? By God's Grace ,I have a 2 year old son now ,these Drs that don't double check their work don't know how much they literally affect people's lives and the trauma and damage they can cause to someone.Im so sorry,I hope you heal and your I hope your health hasn't been affected overall ,May God help us.
Hi Owami. I sympathise with you in the misdiagnosis. It is really sad that a medical doctor can do this to a patient. On the weight loss part; I see a difference really, or is it only me?
Medical racism is something Black women have been crying about for decades. It is heartbreaking to think of how vulnerable Black women remain to be. I’m so glad you spoke up about this. Wishing you overall healing
Ninja, i think you need to find out what your results were and the thyroid medication you were given because if you have thryroid issues cased by stress like me then it does stabilise after medication. It might have been correct 🤷🏾
I'm so sorry, Sis Owamie. I remember 2018 when I had lumps on my breast with weird symptoms and I went to the hospital. The doctor gave me a possible diagnosis (breast cancer) and he did biopsy to confirm. I was so devastated in such a way that I thought it was over with me and that time I had to wait for 6 weeks for the results... that six weeks was a nightmare, I feel into depression only for the results to come back that it's Fibroademona and the tumors were benign. You definitely have every right to feel the way you're feel and I wish you could find strength and sue them.
Owamie please sue this man for the love of God, he can't be allowed to get away with this. Imagine what he is doing to other black women out there. This is not ok. Get strong and do something about this, please.
Owami was icanda le grootman way before icanda le grootman was a thing 😍😍🙈. I am so sorry, Queen Ninja. Seeing you cry makes me sad. Love and lights, Mama ❤
Medical literacy is very important. You’re your own advocate, exactly what happened to you happened to my sister Inlaw. She has endometriosis &ovarian cyst. She underwent surgery the first time to remove the cyst because it will cause her so much pain. About a year post her operation she got pregnant and went to her local hospital & the doctor told her that she needed another operation because her cyst was too big. Her pregnancy wouldn’t survive. She was so depressed but had a gut feeling that all will be well. The dr kept on pressuring her to do the operation, she left the province where she was and come to us for second opinion. Her new dr actually told her she did well not to go through with the operation because the operation would’ve caused a miscarriage because cyst always appear during early stages of pregnancy to protect the embryo cause a placenta hasn’t formed yet. If she tempered with the cyst she would’ve had a miscarriage. She too was taking the medication that the first dr prescribed her but thankfully nothing happened to her baby. She has a healthy baby boy. Some dr just slip through cracks but definitely you should sue because tempering with someone thyroid is very dangerous. Get yourself compensation
Yooo i watched this video till the end, Owamie you went through it all my sister. Big guy was just a bad news to you. Imagine if you went for womb removal? Yooooo We thank God you didn't my love.
Thank you for being courageous and vulnerable enough to share this with your ninjas. I'm so sorry, Owamie. And I totally understand when you say you feeling too tired to sue. But here's the thing... this guy does that nonsense knowing how it will devastate innocent people to the point where they just don't have the energy to take action... "what's she gonna do about it?" ...may I kindly suggest that you seek pro bono legal services from people who understand that you're feeling tired, so that they can drag this guy to court on your behalf and sue him until he's begging at the robots in his undies. It's totally up to you, but please don't let this guy get away with murder. If his previous 5 victims before you had decided to take action, maybe you would have been spared. I'm so sorry my sister for what this guy did. I just wanna encourage you to ask around for pro bono legal services... maybe ask a feminist organization, they might be able to point you in the right direction or maybe even pick up the fight on your behalf. Please don't let this slide. That guy must be stopped, he deserves everything that's coming his way, and you definitely deserve some form of compensation for everything that he's put you through. Sending lots of love and best wishes.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. My mother had her womb removed at an early age. One thing I remember this was during my high-school years. She went for endless tests before they even did the hysterectomy. I remember coming home from boarding school only to discover that the surgery hadn't been done. In a nut shell, it didn't take a week from diagnosis to operating table. It took months. Sending you love, light and hugs. ❤
Those wrong thyroid meds could have been the cause for your cysts and all the stress of operations. Thyroid meds directly affect reproductive health and hormone levels so taking it for no valid reason could have actually triggered the cyst issues
Stay strong Queen..u will pull through as always. And yes ! Intuition is one of the most valuable gifts we possess as human beings. We can relay on it to navigate our lives.❤
I'm sorry Mama Ninja 😢 I too can relate. It's really sad that the people meant to help us only do more harm especially to us Black people. ❤❤❤ Stay strong love
This is sad Owami to be diagnosed by a general practitioner on a specialised disease. An endocrinologist should have diagnosed you and they normally tell you if it’s hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. You have to take blood tests often when you are on that medication every month or every other month to monitor whether the medication is helping or not. An endocrinologist also advises you that after 18 months, you can not carry on with the medication because it has extreme side effects and can cause cancer if taken for a long time. I can’t believe you took it for over years. Sometimes for women older than 40yrs starting to experience menopause, hormones like thyroid show imbalance and one can experience thyroid imbalances. A mis diagnosis does happen but you were in your 20s and it does not make sense. If a general practitioner picks that up, they have to transfer you to an endocrinologist. This doctor needs to be arrested.
Yoh! Imidiately when you started saying " he said you have a deformed womb and expected to be removed in a week" my heart stops a bit! We thank God it didn't happen 🙏 sorry about the misdiagnosis, it will come to pass.
I’m sorry mama , lenna I don’t consult white Drs anymore I go to black SAn Drs . My sister was performed unnecessary surgery by balungus . Please recommend the Gynae that helped with ur Fibroids journey
Eish and Thyroid Medication is so expensive but I was taking mine at the government hospital. I was told that I’ll be taking this medication for life, it was 2019 when I found out. I did t stress I just took my meds, then covid came, I could collect my medication anymore. So I stopped. Only to take tested late in 2021 and my Dr said my thyroid level is totally normal now, and I was like but I was told that this thing is chronic. I went to see my Gynaecologist lastweek, we took more tests and my thryroid leve is still normal. So Owami maybe your blood tests then did pick up thyroid but that medication must have helped you in a way. I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this but we serve a living God.❤
❤ Giving you a mama bear hug from miles away... Take care of yourself because vele you cant give from an empty cup so well done on taking the time out to regroup... Strength and power to you
Her ex-husband was not her biggest enemy, like how did you get all of that from this video?😂 Like that statement is so besides the fact! Are we even watching the same video?🤣
I agree how do you yick something like that knowing she didn't have and he didn't even say lets go for second opinion coz he is the one who gave the doctor rong information
@@MalesoleMocheku-gn7ox guys didnt you hear her say she said herself to the doctor “I do not have thyroid” She said it to the doctor herself!!!! And the doctor said “HER BLOOD RESULTS SAY SHE DOES “ The TICKED BOX was NOT THE BLOOD TESTS RESULTS Come on now hayboooo!
@@nkululekomahlathi3242 Babe point is it couldn't have been falsey detected if he didn't tick it. Her ex husband literally wanted to kill her. He hated her man
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2020. That thing is horrible! I was put on meds and regular blood tests. My levels are now normal and I haven't taken meds for over 2 years. So it happens.... Don't beat yourself too hard about it. Chances are the meds did help get your levels to the normal range. #Hugs
I am deeply sorry my Ninja for all that you went through. I seriously hate seeing you cry. See a bubbly as you are; I mean this really breaks my heart. But above all keep shining my dear, you still have all lot to embrace ❤️
I ca only say, when u feel healed, please go and do something about it. So he doesn't get away with it. You always advice and help people to do with a lot of situations. Please do it for your self 😢🙏🙏
Sorry Owam gal!!! About that! These things are happening, to me it was the eye operation, but to me they were dealing with a nurse, and a Proffessional nurse to cry out loud. Even to me my initial doctor was black, she explained everthing to and she even said *She is not sure about doing eye operation of that nature, she is going to ask other doctor, who can do it better* it was a white guy this one, thats where I got the new diagnoses, but I insisted that I will not allow myself being victimised after spending 32 years practicing as a professional nurse now I am a retired person I must be misdiagnosed like that. Sorry gal!!! These things do happen to people but thanks for sharing your 8experience. I told myself that I have been nursing people with all my passion, but when its my turn, I must be victimized!!! No!!! ways!!! Sorrh gal oncemore.
I get what you are saying, I suffered from depression for a year and a half, although am not taking the tablets it now. To cut a long story short, am now diagnosed with thyroid medication, which I don’t seem to understand why. Listen to you I just want to check again if I definitely have thyroid issues. Am sending my love to you.
Owamie I truly understand your emotional and crying. Is just because u did have a concians telling you and no body lessened or take you Sirius. So when you found that you were right all this this time. It very paining. Im like that too. . I'm so sorry, I have been ignored so many times,and when it happens most of the time, and you find that they were wrong and you were right all this time. They always turn the story and blame you.
So basically no one can ever be 100% safe💔💔💔💔 I'm so sorry queen ninja. I hope you can get through this and come out stronger. It's very scary how Doctors, people that are supposed to be healers are now turning against their sworn oath.
Owami thank you for this awareness, yesterday i wrote a whole lot about myself living a life of being misdiagnosed 8yrs i was struggling to write i went to the Dr who diagnosed me with pinch nerves and advised me to do cappel tunnel release because i was desperate i did the operations of which it didnt help, only to find out i have focal dystonia and put on disability diagnosed last year😢
Owamie private practices are businesses. The more procedures performed means more money for the practice. Which is why I prefer taking test at a public hospital. They are is the business of saving money so they do not perform any unnecessary procedures. Rather go to a private practice to get the procedure done when the public hospital has confirmed.
No ways Owami, I know how it feels, I know you're tired. I also come from court yesterday and I know the horror, but no ways. Let's fight this doctor. Set up a back a buddy account or something so you get a good lawyer and clean him out!! No ways. You can't be helping so many people and you don't get help.
Sorry doll. Its a new day and we are here to help. Guys besides doctors scaming you please ask your pharmacist to verify your medicines against your diagnosis. A good attentive one will pick up such errors.
My mom was misdiagnosed by a black doctor,i know pipl in the field theres plenty of incompetent Black doctors,,,,just pray before going to any doctor....
Yohhh...your statement is incorrect. One black doctor does not mean a lot. It's harmful to black people for a black person to make such blanket statements. Respect us by refusing to reiterate nonsense about us.
@@summerautumn7507lol same way as one white doctor does not mean all white doctors. Blaxk people love to be racist in their own terms. The comment aection is flooded by racist comments towards white people. You can get maltreated by anyone even black doctors.
@@summerautumn7507bathong, I don't understand why you are fighting her. She never said all black doctors. My mom nearly died after a misdiagnose by a black doctor. Doctors are human. They do make mistakes.
Owami, I know how you feel, in more ways than 1. It’s ok to be, don’t apologise, it’s so sad. I wish to reach out privately. God is so good, I know what you are not saying, darling.
Thank you for speaking about this Owamie, doctors are humans too they can make a mistake that might cost you your life... I agree, Its very important to have a 2nd and a 3rd opinion. wishing you well ❤
I am so sorry to hear this Owamie😰😰. It is really tiring Standwa Sam to go up and down. it takes a toll really. Thank you for being strong and talk about this dear. You are strengthening many of us as women. It really hurts. They will definitely pay for their deeds soon. I love you gal. Please be strong. Hebrews 4:13 please read.
The question is how many lives is s/he destroying by misdiagnosing patients, s/he misdiagnosed you twice and I feel like this is a sign to take actions on the doctor, there so many people out there who do not have the privilege of getting to find out what really was going on with their health...
Owamie, I have watched your videos for years, this is the first time i have ever commented, that is how important i think this video is. There is so much victimization of black people and black women specifically, by the medical industry. I have two children, and both pregnancies and births were traumatic due to the medical doctors who were in charge of my care. The private medical system also forces us to go to these people because you can't be booked into a hospital without them. If you can consider having a series where you talk to people about their experiences with the medical industry, I think it would do a lot of good because we can at least save a few people from going through what many of us suffer on a daily.

Owami, sending you love and light. You are brave to share your personal stories with us. We are listening, we are learning.
The worst case scenario didn’t happen! Please focus on that… you still have your womb, you are off the chronic medication, your health will be restored!!
❤
I went to a white male doctor who yelled at me and told me he doesnt have time for this when i reacted to the needle. And he was like arent you a little too old to be afraid of needles. He was in Oakdene Johannesburg south its the practice next to the pre school i forgot the name, It was my first and last time there
Haybooo 😳😳
I have a very long one with Helen Joseph and Rahima moosa
What a rude doctor tjooo
Open a case against him, he should be behind bars for playing with your health I'm glad you came out
I'm so sorry that you had to experience all of that. So awful. I'm just that you're okay and you finally learnt the truth.🙏🏾💕💕
I encountered a similar problem,
2 years ago I injured my knees, started exhibiting rheumatoid arthritis symptoms due to the intensity of the injury. I remember going to this "white" doctor who after I had disclosed some of the symptoms wanted to diagnose me right there and then, he even prescribed medication for me, we had a contention as I refused to take any medication without proper medical procedures. Thankfully, my aunt is within the medical fraternity, post expressing what had transpired, she quickly explained to me what I was to do (which was to rest my knee for a year) and today as I type this, I am fully okay even back to my active life again.
I am so glad that you got a chance to get second opinion. I don't think it is a problem of racism in this particular case because I lost my first child due to a black doctor that was quick to book me to a session of cutting my fallopian tube claiming my baby was ectopic - meaning the baby was growing in a tube. Only for him to remove my child in the womb, claiming the child was dead, that doctor scrubbed by womb. Only for my child to show up two weeks later still trying to grow even when the womb was scrubbled. The other gynaecologist tried their best to save my child for another 6 more weeks but unfortunately the womb was no longer conducive for the foetus to survive, I miscarried. Only 6 weeks after he said my baby died, actually died.
That is when I learnt that a second and a third opinion is important
Sorry for your loss sis. That is a horrible thing to go through. May your little angel's soul continue to rest in peace😢❤
@@1phindy thank you cc. I think these doctors prioritise money they collect from theatre surgeries procedures over human lives and well being.
That’s why as a black person always search for a black doctor especially gynaecology related /physician related conditions .
Black or white mistakes, and negligence happen with both races
Its not about race for godsake. ANC is fully black yet you can see they dont even care what black people go through 😂 so on the basis of skin color someone will be good 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm so sorry you had to go through all that .I was also misdiagnosed in 2014 ,by a white female doctor at one of Midrand's Medical Centres near boulders ,she also told me I had an inverted womb ,I was so freaked out , especially cause I was only 21 at that time ,thank God my mom was still alive and she convinced me to just ignore it,but that traumatised me for years. For years I thought I won't be able to have kids ,it haunted me for many years, especially when I first met my husband and he was so excited about us having a baby ,all that would go through my mind is can I even ? By God's Grace ,I have a 2 year old son now ,these Drs that don't double check their work don't know how much they literally affect people's lives and the trauma and damage they can cause to someone.Im so sorry,I hope you heal and your I hope your health hasn't been affected overall ,May God help us.
Let me start with the suing process already and that Dr’s license must be revoked for life 🤬😡
The was I love you ❤it crushing to see you hurting 💔 like this. My sweetheart 💕
Hi Owami. I sympathise with you in the misdiagnosis. It is really sad that a medical doctor can do this to a patient. On the weight loss part; I see a difference really, or is it only me?
Medical racism is something Black women have been crying about for decades. It is heartbreaking to think of how vulnerable Black women remain to be. I’m so glad you spoke up about this. Wishing you overall healing
I'm Namibian and my dad is South African, he would always say "Vrystaat se boere" and we would know these the racist of the racists
so sorry Owami,wish you can name that SCAM doctor
Ninja, i think you need to find out what your results were and the thyroid medication you were given because if you have thryroid issues cased by stress like me then it does stabilise after medication. It might have been correct 🤷🏾
Did you fully listen to the entire story though? It was definitely a deliberate malpractice from the racist Afrikaans White doctor.
@@mrsx2596 Yes I did. I just needed her to get all the information, especially for her mental health.
I'm so sorry, Sis Owamie. I remember 2018 when I had lumps on my breast with weird symptoms and I went to the hospital. The doctor gave me a possible diagnosis (breast cancer) and he did biopsy to confirm. I was so devastated in such a way that I thought it was over with me and that time I had to wait for 6 weeks for the results... that six weeks was a nightmare, I feel into depression only for the results to come back that it's Fibroademona and the tumors were benign.
You definitely have every right to feel the way you're feel and I wish you could find strength and sue them.
Sorry Sweetheart - Owamie I hope you get better hle black femles go through alot uxolo hle
I'm so sorry you went through this. Very heartbreaking 💔. May the Lord restore your health perfectly.
Owamie please sue this man for the love of God, he can't be allowed to get away with this. Imagine what he is doing to other black women out there. This is not ok. Get strong and do something about this, please.
Owami was icanda le grootman way before icanda le grootman was a thing 😍😍🙈. I am so sorry, Queen Ninja. Seeing you cry makes me sad. Love and lights, Mama ❤
Love and light 💡 ❤
i’m sorry you had to go through that.
I feel for you my Queen Ninja and i wonder what other mess that medication has done in your body. Do thorough checkups of all ailments please.
Girl I am so sorry you went through all that, that’s really trauma. Please wipe those tears and seek legal help.. Sending you all the love and light❤️
Medical literacy is very important. You’re your own advocate, exactly what happened to you happened to my sister Inlaw. She has endometriosis &ovarian cyst. She underwent surgery the first time to remove the cyst because it will cause her so much pain. About a year post her operation she got pregnant and went to her local hospital & the doctor told her that she needed another operation because her cyst was too big. Her pregnancy wouldn’t survive. She was so depressed but had a gut feeling that all will be well. The dr kept on pressuring her to do the operation, she left the province where she was and come to us for second opinion. Her new dr actually told her she did well not to go through with the operation because the operation would’ve caused a miscarriage because cyst always appear during early stages of pregnancy to protect the embryo cause a placenta hasn’t formed yet. If she tempered with the cyst she would’ve had a miscarriage. She too was taking the medication that the first dr prescribed her but thankfully nothing happened to her baby. She has a healthy baby boy. Some dr just slip through cracks but definitely you should sue because tempering with someone thyroid is very dangerous. Get yourself compensation
I'm sorry you had to go through that ❤😢 After gathering yourself, please don't let this go. You should go after his aş§, he deserves to be exposed.
This is so infuriating, I’m sorry this happened to you Owamie 💔💔💔
Or let us take it traditionally our girl Gogo Manzini most definitely step in this why should someone with such good ❤ like you go through such pain
Yooo i watched this video till the end, Owamie you went through it all my sister. Big guy was just a bad news to you. Imagine if you went for womb removal? Yooooo We thank God you didn't my love.
Thank you for being courageous and vulnerable enough to share this with your ninjas. I'm so sorry, Owamie. And I totally understand when you say you feeling too tired to sue. But here's the thing... this guy does that nonsense knowing how it will devastate innocent people to the point where they just don't have the energy to take action... "what's she gonna do about it?" ...may I kindly suggest that you seek pro bono legal services from people who understand that you're feeling tired, so that they can drag this guy to court on your behalf and sue him until he's begging at the robots in his undies. It's totally up to you, but please don't let this guy get away with murder. If his previous 5 victims before you had decided to take action, maybe you would have been spared. I'm so sorry my sister for what this guy did. I just wanna encourage you to ask around for pro bono legal services... maybe ask a feminist organization, they might be able to point you in the right direction or maybe even pick up the fight on your behalf. Please don't let this slide. That guy must be stopped, he deserves everything that's coming his way, and you definitely deserve some form of compensation for everything that he's put you through. Sending lots of love and best wishes.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. My mother had her womb removed at an early age. One thing I remember this was during my high-school years. She went for endless tests before they even did the hysterectomy. I remember coming home from boarding school only to discover that the surgery hadn't been done. In a nut shell, it didn't take a week from diagnosis to operating table. It took months.
Sending you love, light and hugs. ❤
Those wrong thyroid meds could have been the cause for your cysts and all the stress of operations. Thyroid meds directly affect reproductive health and hormone levels so taking it for no valid reason could have actually triggered the cyst issues
Stay strong Queen..u will pull through as always. And yes ! Intuition is one of the most valuable gifts we possess as human beings. We can relay on it to navigate our lives.❤
Sisi this must be reported and his licence MUST be revoked. You will find there are many other cases he's done. Please take this up.
It's so sad especially to us, we can't afford a second and third option in Zimbabwe
I'm sorry Mama Ninja 😢 I too can relate. It's really sad that the people meant to help us only do more harm especially to us Black people. ❤❤❤ Stay strong love
This is sad Owami to be diagnosed by a general practitioner on a specialised disease. An endocrinologist should have diagnosed you and they normally tell you if it’s hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. You have to take blood tests often when you are on that medication every month or every other month to monitor whether the medication is helping or not. An endocrinologist also advises you that after 18 months, you can not carry on with the medication because it has extreme side effects and can cause cancer if taken for a long time. I can’t believe you took it for over years. Sometimes for women older than 40yrs starting to experience menopause, hormones like thyroid show imbalance and one can experience thyroid imbalances. A mis diagnosis does happen but you were in your 20s and it does not make sense. If a general practitioner picks that up, they have to transfer you to an endocrinologist. This doctor needs to be arrested.
I'm so sorry Owamie for what you went through 😥.
Some dr's do that (misdiagnose) NB: please always get second opinions or even third.
Yoooh the doctor needs to give you answers how can she misdiagnose you like that thus dangerous to drink pills for something you don't have
Yoh! Imidiately when you started saying " he said you have a deformed womb and expected to be removed in a week" my heart stops a bit! We thank God it didn't happen 🙏 sorry about the misdiagnosis, it will come to pass.
I’m sorry mama , lenna I don’t consult white Drs anymore I go to black SAn Drs . My sister was performed unnecessary surgery by balungus . Please recommend the Gynae that helped with ur Fibroids journey
Eish and Thyroid Medication is so expensive but I was taking mine at the government hospital.
I was told that I’ll be taking this medication for life, it was 2019 when I found out. I did t stress I just took my meds, then covid came, I could collect my medication anymore. So I stopped.
Only to take tested late in 2021 and my Dr said my thyroid level is totally normal now, and I was like but I was told that this thing is chronic.
I went to see my Gynaecologist lastweek, we took more tests and my thryroid leve is still normal.
So Owami maybe your blood tests then did pick up thyroid but that medication must have helped you in a way.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this but we serve a living God.❤
❤ Giving you a mama bear hug from miles away... Take care of yourself because vele you cant give from an empty cup so well done on taking the time out to regroup... Strength and power to you
ai. This is horrible. im so sorry you went through this. This sounds extremely daunting. I hope you recover from this
You are loved hun ❤❤
Your husband was your biggest enemy 😢 sue the other doctor
Her ex-husband was not her biggest enemy, like how did you get all of that from this video?😂
Like that statement is so besides the fact!
Are we even watching the same video?🤣
I agree how do you yick something like that knowing she didn't have and he didn't even say lets go for second opinion coz he is the one who gave the doctor rong information
@@MalesoleMocheku-gn7ox guys didnt you hear her say she said herself to the doctor “I do not have thyroid”
She said it to the doctor herself!!!!
And the doctor said “HER BLOOD RESULTS SAY SHE DOES “
The TICKED BOX was NOT THE BLOOD TESTS RESULTS
Come on now hayboooo!
@@nkululekomahlathi3242 Babe point is it couldn't have been falsey detected if he didn't tick it. Her ex husband literally wanted to kill her. He hated her man
@@MalesoleMocheku-gn7ox exactly my point babe. If he didn't tick, she wasn't going to be misdiagnosed
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2020. That thing is horrible! I was put on meds and regular blood tests. My levels are now normal and I haven't taken meds for over 2 years. So it happens.... Don't beat yourself too hard about it. Chances are the meds did help get your levels to the normal range. #Hugs
I am deeply sorry my Ninja for all that you went through. I seriously hate seeing you cry. See a bubbly as you are; I mean this really breaks my heart. But above all keep shining my dear, you still have all lot to embrace ❤️
I ca only say, when u feel healed, please go and do something about it. So he doesn't get away with it.
You always advice and help people to do with a lot of situations. Please do it for your self 😢🙏🙏
So sorry that you had to go through this Ninja 💕
I'm so sorry for what you went through Owamie.Sending you loads of love❤❤❤
Ooh m so sorry Owamie,mey the Lord heal you on this,my heart is in pain too seeing you so emotional,sending you lots of love and prayers and hugs ❤🤗🤗🤗
sorry nana you really need a hug 🫂
Ohh nooo Owami 😢I can’t wake up to thi 😢
Sorry Owam gal!!! About that! These things are happening, to me it was the eye operation, but to me they were dealing with a nurse, and a Proffessional nurse to cry out loud.
Even to me my initial doctor was black, she explained everthing to and she even said *She is not sure about doing eye operation of that nature, she is going to ask other doctor, who can do it better* it was a white guy this one, thats where I got the new diagnoses, but I insisted that I will not allow myself being victimised after spending 32 years practicing as a professional nurse now I am a retired person I must be misdiagnosed like that. Sorry gal!!! These things do happen to people but thanks for sharing your 8experience.
I told myself that I have been nursing people with all my passion, but when its my turn, I must be victimized!!! No!!! ways!!! Sorrh gal oncemore.
I get what you are saying, I suffered from depression for a year and a half, although am not taking the tablets it now. To cut a long story short, am now diagnosed with thyroid medication, which I don’t seem to understand why. Listen to you I just want to check again if I definitely have thyroid issues. Am sending my love to you.
So painful man💔💔. Sorry my dear Owami. Sending hugs and love ❤️ ❤❤
Owamie I truly understand your emotional and crying.
Is just because u did have a concians telling you and no body lessened or take you Sirius. So when you found that you were right all this this time. It very paining.
Im like that too. . I'm so sorry, I have been ignored so many times,and when it happens most of the time, and you find that they were wrong and you were right all this time.
They always turn the story and blame you.
So basically no one can ever be 100% safe💔💔💔💔 I'm so sorry queen ninja. I hope you can get through this and come out stronger. It's very scary how Doctors, people that are supposed to be healers are now turning against their sworn oath.
😢😢😢😢 I love you yaz Owamie I hate to see you like this😢😢😢
Owami thank you for this awareness, yesterday i wrote a whole lot about myself living a life of being misdiagnosed 8yrs i was struggling to write i went to the Dr who diagnosed me with pinch nerves and advised me to do cappel tunnel release because i was desperate i did the operations of which it didnt help, only to find out i have focal dystonia and put on disability diagnosed last year😢
I took Thyroid meds for a year, only to find out three months ago that I don't have Thyroid
I'm sorry for your experience 😢
Yhooo this Dr 😫😫😫😫 "remove your womb" 😮 not even referring you to a gynae. I wonder if his a real Dr. 😳
Almost
Owamie private practices are businesses. The more procedures performed means more money for the practice. Which is why I prefer taking test at a public hospital. They are is the business of saving money so they do not perform any unnecessary procedures. Rather go to a private practice to get the procedure done when the public hospital has confirmed.
No ways Owami, I know how it feels, I know you're tired. I also come from court yesterday and I know the horror, but no ways. Let's fight this doctor. Set up a back a buddy account or something so you get a good lawyer and clean him out!! No ways. You can't be helping so many people and you don't get help.
So sorry my dear. I wonder how many people have been harmed by this guy.
Sorry doll. Its a new day and we are here to help. Guys besides doctors scaming you please ask your pharmacist to verify your medicines against your diagnosis. A good attentive one will pick up such errors.
GEMS pharmacist woukd havecdone thus when they registered her for the chronic meds.
@@beewest5704 only when preauth is required
My mom was misdiagnosed by a black doctor,i know pipl in the field theres plenty of incompetent Black doctors,,,,just pray before going to any doctor....
Why “black”
Yohhh...your statement is incorrect. One black doctor does not mean a lot. It's harmful to black people for a black person to make such blanket statements.
Respect us by refusing to reiterate nonsense about us.
@@summerautumn7507lol same way as one white doctor does not mean all white doctors. Blaxk people love to be racist in their own terms. The comment aection is flooded by racist comments towards white people. You can get maltreated by anyone even black doctors.
@@lebogangmogole5616she is just trying to say that even some black doctors do misdiagnose.
@@summerautumn7507bathong, I don't understand why you are fighting her. She never said all black doctors. My mom nearly died after a misdiagnose by a black doctor. Doctors are human. They do make mistakes.
I’m so sorry for what you went through Owams. 💕
He wanted to ruin your life. But God! Your guardian angels were on alert
Owami, I know how you feel, in more ways than 1. It’s ok to be, don’t apologise, it’s so sad. I wish to reach out privately. God is so good, I know what you are not saying, darling.
Thank you for speaking about this Owamie, doctors are humans too they can make a mistake that might cost you your life... I agree, Its very important to have a 2nd and a 3rd opinion. wishing you well ❤
I am so sorry to hear this Owamie😰😰. It is really tiring Standwa Sam to go up and down. it takes a toll really. Thank you for being strong and talk about this dear. You are strengthening many of us as women. It really hurts. They will definitely pay for their deeds soon. I love you gal. Please be strong. Hebrews 4:13 please read.
We are here Ninja ✨📍
Yes you are ❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
The question is how many lives is s/he destroying by misdiagnosing patients, s/he misdiagnosed you twice and I feel like this is a sign to take actions on the doctor, there so many people out there who do not have the privilege of getting to find out what really was going on with their health...
Owamie, I have watched your videos for years, this is the first time i have ever commented, that is how important i think this video is. There is so much victimization of black people and black women specifically, by the medical industry. I have two children, and both pregnancies and births were traumatic due to the medical doctors who were in charge of my care. The private medical system also forces us to go to these people because you can't be booked into a hospital without them. If you can consider having a series where you talk to people about their experiences with the medical industry, I think it would do a lot of good because we can at least save a few people from going through what many of us suffer on a daily.
sorry my Queen😍😍😪 and all your life you had to fight so when you said you tired .... I wish i could hug you
Im so sorry Ninja lets just thank God because He protected you and saved you.
