Nigerian Nurse Loses Her License For Shouting Jesus While Baby She Was Caring For Had An Heart Attack
~3.3 mins read
In an unfortunate case, Ms Abayomi, 51, appeared to panic when the child who suffered from a chronic lung disease, turned blue and stopped breathing in his cot at home.
Apparently taken aback by the trauma of it all, she called for divine intervention more than 20 times before the boy’s mother told her to shut up.
A disciplinary hearing was told that Ms Abayomi was constantly saying Jesus help him and waving her arms around. It was revealed that she provided wholly inadequate care by leaving the frantic mother to resuscitate her lifeless son, while the father dialled 999.
Ms Abayomi was subsequently found guilty of a string of charges by the NMC at a hearing in central London. During the hearing, Sydney Topping, representing Ms Abayomi, insisted his client’s behaviour had represented no more than a bad day at the office and urged the panel to let her off with a caution but his pleas was rejected.
Mr Topping said, “Once in a while you have a bad day at the office. I would suggest that on April 8 the registrant had a bad day at the office. It was no worse than that. She has bounced back since then.”
During the hearing, it was revealed that the child, referred to a Patient A and his twin sister were born three months premature at Homerton University Hospital in Hackney, east London, and as a result suffered from a number of serious illnesses and so required round-the-clock care.
Joanna Dirmikis, for the NMC, said Ms Abayomi had been employed by private nursing firm, Pediatric Nursing Link, to look after the infant, who required 22 hours of nursing care every day. She added that the parents were woken by a knock on their bedroom door at 5am on April 8, 2017, to find their son lying lifeless after suffering respiratory cardiac arrest.
Paramedics rushed the boy to Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, east London, before he was taken to Great Ormond Street Hospital on the same day for further treatment. Giving evidence, the tearful mother of the boy, said Ms Abayomi had effectively abandoned her during the incident.
She added, “The nurse was constantly saying Jesus help him and waving her arms around. She said it more than 20 times. I felt I had to do everything as at that point she was doing nothing to help my son
“She never offered to take the lead at any point and at no point did she suggest calling 999. I can’t change what’s happened to my son, I know I did the best for him but the nurse just completely abandoned her duty.
“If I can save just one other person from having to go through what we have been through, then that’s what I want to do.” The panel heard Patient A, now aged five, made a full recovery from the incident but is still totally dependent on others for his care.
Ms Abayomi claimed the mother had pushed her away and refused to let her help and denied calling out for Jesus, panicking and failing to provide care or basic life support. She further denied failing to properly hand over the case to paramedics and making inaccurate and false notes about the incident.
She was cleared of specific charges that she suctioned the child’s tracheostomy tube or that she failed to record observations taken but was found guilty of misconduct and ruled unfit to continue working without restrictions. Striking Ms Abayomi off, panel chair, John Williams, said: “This was a failure to accept responsibility for her role in the events by the registrant.
“She has shown a lack of empathy with the parents of the child and there has been no admission or apology and therefore no insight. This failure is incompatible with her continuing to be a registered nurse.”

5 Main Causes Of Premature Ejaculation
~3.1 mins read
So…here’s an awkward topic for you!
We all know what sex is and how it works, right? Good, that means I don’t need to go into the mechanics of it – at least for the most part. I do need to talk about one aspect; the finish. A premature ejaculation is, to put it as delicately as possible, where a guy ends up finishing much sooner than he or his partner would’ve preferred.
This can be quite a discouraging experience and there are several different things that may cause a premature ejaculation. Let’s take a look at five of those causes now.
1: Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is a serious problem all over the world and alcohol and drug abuse(whether it’s prescription or illicit drugs). It can damage your internal organs and lower your inhibitions. Unfortunately, it has the added effect of decreasing arousal, lowering testosterone, and increasing the chances of erectile dysfunction.
Drug abuse is…complicated when it comes to sexual performance. Some substances can improve performance – to a point. Other substances are more sinister in nature; reducing or preventing sexual response by lowering testosterone and other hormones. Like alcohol, certain drugs can also lower your inhibitions against certain activities.
2: Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression can cause sex-related problems in general but premature ejaculation can be the result of poor self-esteem/body image. You don’t like how you look and you end up either worried about your performance or unable to perform at all. That’s where the anxiety can cause problems.
You worry about sex, right? If it’s your first experience, you may worry about erectile dysfunction or whether your partner will enjoy it. If you do manage to maintain a strong enough erection, the next worry could be premature ejaculation. You worry so much about this that it actually happens. This is generally because you try to avoid it and end up walking straight into it instead.
This particular cause comes about through a variety of different sources but a common source would be relationship problems.
3: Hormonal Imbalance
Your body produces a wide variety of hormones related to various activities. Adrenaline, testosterone, serotonin, etc. are all different types of hormones. We’ve already discussed the way that testosterone can be affected by substance abuse.
Testosterone, for those unaware, is a hormone produced by the male body that affects sexual performance, sperm production, and appearance. Lower levels of testosterone mean less sexual response from men; lowered arousal, erectile dysfunction and, in some cases, premature ejaculation.
4: Inexperience
This goes back to what I said back at the beginning of this article but if it’s your first time; you’re not going to know a whole lot about what you’re doing. As a result, you may end up overdoing things and…well…finish too quickly – as it were. This can lead to some embarrassment and maybe a little bit of awkwardness between you and your partner.
All that said, ‘practice makes perfect’ exists for a reason and as you get more practice it gets easier to maintain control.
5: Overexcitement
Tying into the previous point, we’ve got overexcitement. This is something that can happen whether you’re an experienced lover or not. You get a little too frisky and end up with a stimulus overload. That stimulus overload or overexcitement results in a premature ejaculation.
There are ways to combat this (the start/stop method for example) so it’s not something to worry about too much. Being excited about sex is good but it can lead to some rather awkward situations sometimes. The important thing is that you don’t let it get to you.
So, there we have it; 5 causes for premature ejaculation. It can be embarrassing and it can affect your confidence but to reiterate what I just said: don’t let it get to you. Don’t let something like this interfere with your love life. Premature ejaculation is something that happens; it’s natural to occur every now and again. If it becomes a repeat problem, you might want to try medication such as Priligy, which has been proven to delay ejaculation substantially.
I hope you found this article informative, thanks for reading.
