days ago, I had just visited three of my customers after which I felt a
very strong headache, which made me immediately go the public hospital
where my wife works as a nurse in this city of My wife measured my blood pleasure and noted that it was above 220mm of Hg, for this reason, she rushed me straight to the emergency section to the doctor who after testing me ordered that I be admitted immediately into the coronary unit for hypertension. At the coronary unit, I was connected to one electrocardiogram and simultaneously every two hours, I was connected to an electrocardiograph that plotted out my cardiac activity. I looked around the unit and saw that there were eight such beds like mine equipped equally. Each of us the patients were being monitored at the office of the nurses by central monitors and a recorder recorded all the information on a tape. I looked father off and saw comprehensive electronic devices that also monitor every one of the patients. In my case, a doctor and a nurse measured and plotted my heartbeat every two hours in the first night. Blood samples were removed from me every two hours and results were out twenty minutes after the extraction. The room was filled with electronic equipments that worked perfectly. As an Electronic Engineer that also major in electro medicine, I watched the screen to the graphs plotted by the equipments. From my understanding of the engineering of those electronic equipments, under good electricity supply, those equipments should work perfectly for more that twenty years without need for repairs, not even to change a fuse will be needed. The
following day, I was taken to the echo-Doppler machine for more tests
and the following night about Right there in the coronary unit, a portable x-ray machine was used to scan every one of us and in few minutes the results were out. Nigerians!!!!!!!! Throughout this process, the Argentine NEPA did not take light. After two nights, with all the scientific test done, the doctors studied all the result including the plotted graphs and pictures taken, after being satisfied that I was out of danger, they allowed me to be transferred from the coronary unit to the cardio logical ward. At
the coronary unit, on my right hand was a sixty four year old Bolivian
waiting for pace marker, unto his right was a Chinese from It
was two days later, a Monday that my wife had to fill the admission
form. The priority of the Argentine doctors in all public Medical
Centers was first to save life without asking for identification of any
kind. Nationality is not a condition for medical attention in Argentine
public In
the cardiological ward, every bed has its individual set of lamp, outlet
sockets for radio, small TV, and laptop computer. My wife brought me a
radio with which I listened to BBC World Service to follow up the news
about It was the first time in my life that I am admitted into a hospital. On
my hospital bed, I meditated a lot; reading the Holy Bible, praying and
my mind went to Before
continuing, let me probe the condition of measurements done under a
deformed waveform like that in How is this engineering implemented? There is diode called led that is found on most modern day radio sets that indicate the signal level when tuning a radio station. The diode has a fixed voltage drop across it when electric current is passed through. The luminosity produced by it depends on the current passed through. This current is limited by a series resistor the engineers calculate for a certain voltage rate which maybe 9 volts or twelve volts. The light emitted by the diode is acceptably monochrome. This light is guided to the test tube. On the opposite side, a light to voltage sensor if placed producing a voltage which varies as the light that is illuminated on it. An alternative is a photo resistor whose resistance varies with the intensity and wavelength of the light that illuminates upon its surface. The output voltage is measured or used to modulate a voltage control oscillator whose frequency is converted into a quantity interpretable to medical doctors. In some cases, the output voltage is applied to an analog to digital converter that gives a digital and numerical result of the read information. This equipment has one analogical section and one digital section. The digital section is operated usually through a 5-volt voltage regulator, which need a minimum and maximum input voltage to produce a fixed output under a determinate environmental condition. This is where my problem with NEPA arises. The power transformer inside the equipment converts 110 volts or 220 Volts into 9 volts which is the standard for calculation of the series resistor mentioned and other analogical components. This equipments works well even with voltage fluctuation of 20 volts. But when NEPA fluctuate energy 80 volts below, any measurements done is absolute garbage. Any medical treatment based on this erroneous measurement is far from being appropriate. Another equipment for analysis is the electrocardiogram and electrocardiograph. Electrodes are distributed over the body and a signal of certain intensity is injected from a source, reading is made at every electrode. In this case the human body and the electrodes become a circuit of capacitors interconnected thorough the blood that acts as transmission medium for the injected signal usually an impulse propagated through the body. The nature of the signal measured at each electrode give information to the electro medical doctors whose interpretation reveals the nature of the blood that circulates in the body. The electronics in this equipment is eighty percent analogical and thus need a very noble power supply which is impossible with the current power supplied by NEPA. All the measurements based under this condition of power supply are thus inaccurate. Again here I believe that statistics based on these equipments are garbage and erroneous. Mathematicians on this forum can lecture us more on erroneous information and its effect in medications. I am thus convinced and hereby raise the alarm that our people are dying not of AIDS but mostly on mismedication due to erroneous measurements read from the electro medical instruments. An erroneous reading will make us medicate fever for diarrhea. I can not accuse Nigerian doctors of malpractices because it is not their will to kill the people, but I raise this alarm that NEPA is forcing our doctors to medicate inaccurately. I
had the opportunity to dismantle a densitometry manufactured in the If the computer tomographic machine like the one that I was scanned with few days ago is supplied with energy from NEPA during use, the situation of the health of the patient cannot be guaranteed. I
was invited to a Medical Laboratory last week, to see a cold room where
medical drugs are kept. The Argentine Government had threatened to close
down the laboratory, if alarms are not installed into the cold room to
warn of high temperature or power failure. If my quotation is accepted,
I may have to manufacture an electronic instrument that will measure the
temperature in the cold room and also monitor the line voltage such that
when the temperature is high of power interruption, the equipment will
dial twenty phone numbers and leaving voice messages of the alarm. A
power failure of ten minutes affect the temperature in the cold room
that endangers the reliability of the medical drug, nevertheless, NEPA
takes lights for days and weeks, and inappropriate drugs are applied to
Nigerians in the hospital, and when they do not work, we blame death on
AIDS and medical drug companies from England and the U.S.A. are
experimenting their drugs on Nigerian under the nose of our so-called
Professors of Medicine when in their home countries they dare not test
such drugs on human beings. Nigerian leaders out of care freeness and
carelessness are allowing our populations to be exterminated.
A polio test killed so many people in the North, yet our
professors of Medicines give pass marks of drugs because they were
manufactures by the white man. Nigerians have become the greatest enemy
of Nigerians
should stop grandiloquent project, we must sit down to plan well for our
country. Our people should become humble by stopping quotation of
malicious Western societies over I
appealed to the Federal Minister of health and the corresponding
commissioners of Health to get in touch with me on africanprojects@oviri.com.ar,
which can also be found on my web site www.oviri.com.ar
. I offer The packet will contain independent electric generation plant, water pump for one hundred thousand liters per day and solar hot water systems for critical areas like maternity wards. I will fist need to visit the hospital to draw out the emergency supply line and in two months the hospital will rise to the level of the first world in reliable electricity. I will distribute some reactors in some surrounding villages of Oviri-Okpe, Amukpe, Okirigwen, Mosoga where the villagers will be asked to produce palm oil, the Ijaws will be asked to produce Ogogoro and palm wine, and some tons of soda soap will be imported from Yoruba villages. With Palm oil, Ogogoro, Palm wine and soda soap, I will produce the fuel for the generation throughout the year for the hospital. My
packet form part of The Oviri Project which is a solution for Honourable
Minister and Commissioners, I wait to hear from you. I want to
contribute to the growth of With the way NEPA operates today in Nigeria, AIDS is probably not the greatest threat to Nigeria, but rather the greatest threat is the erroneous medical diagnostics based on readings from Electro-medical equipments that operate under inappropriate electricity supply. Let us stop publishing erroneous statistics, let us stop AIDS drug test on Nigerian by British and other foreign drug companies that have turned our people into guinea pigs. Let us solve our problems. I offer simple and applied electrification for determinate sectors of the country. Engr.
