I have been contemplating this issue for quite some time: WHY DO MEN FREQUENTLY DISREGARD THEIR HEALTH?
A recent incident involving a patient rushed in after a road traffic accident, who sustained a deep head laceration leading to a skull fracture and a fractured wrist, illustrates this concern. Following treatment, the patient demanded to be discharge to attend to his business, which is alarming, particularly considering his recent near-death experience. Many men become so engrossed in providing for their families that they neglect their own well-being, forgetting that their life is essential. While responsibilities can be overwhelming, prioritizing one's health is crucial. Dear men, please make time for medical check-ups and take care of your health; your families, wives, and children need you to be fine.
PS: our nursing team counseled the patient, and he stayed.
