Some concepts are better imagined than experienced and one of such concepts is a kidnap. Gosh! I dread the thought. But then... >Imagine you were kidnapped. However you were dumped 25 minutes later by the side of the road simply because you couldn't stop talking. I would be so happy, what a relief I would feel. That would have certainly been the worst twenty-five minutes of my life. And to think I paid no ransom would make the joy all the more wholesome. >What is that thing you would be talking about? In as much as I have experienced a lot of things and have partaken in a wide range of activities like sports, games, politics, psychology, movies, music and entertainment but my fluency is top notch when I talk medicine unlike any other field I may choose. I would go non-stop talking about the human body, the structures, their functions, the various things that could go wrong in the structures or in the functioning. I would go ahead to talk about drugs to correct abnormalities, for prevention or even to stabilise and prevent further complications. I would talk about the importance of lifestyle changes, the importance of regular health checks, exercise, fruits, avoidance of smoking, alcohol, etc.  I would talk about changes to expect as one ages, how to minimise the effects of aging, the reproductive cycle or even various treatment modalities for different diseases. I would even begin to advise them to donate blood regularly, lol. Because a lot of people need blood in the hospitals while some people walk around with more blood than they need and donating would do them no harm. Rather they get free medical checks as a routine before their donation which would include viral screenings and blood sugar monitoring which they would get free of charge.  The list of things I would say if I chose this topic is endless hence why I will choose it. The twenty-five minutes would only seem like a second past. I could actually talk medicine for five hours non-stop, only stopping to take water and continuing afterwards. Such is my proficiency in the subject matter. >How do you come to know so much about it? For the past seven years, I have only had 4 holidays, none lasting more than 2 weeks. What have I been doing for the past seven years? Learning about the human body. That is more than 2,400 days of knowledge acquisition in various forms like the classroom, the laboratory, the clinic, the ward, the cadaver room, the theatre and even the online resources are not left out.  That's how I came to know so much about this topic which I regard as my stronghold. I have also come to realise with experience that most people are uninterested in health talks as long as they are doing fine. People usually get interested only when they have a problem and hence, the subject is perceived as boring by non-medics and as such I would not be surprised if my talk bores the kidnappers to the extent that they have no choice but to release me. Also it has become common knowledge that doctors in Nigeria are not well paid and hence they should lose confidence in their chances of getting a ransom from a bloody medical student.  ------- *All Images are mine* Posted Using [InLeo Alpha](https://inleo.io/@graat/my-stronghold)
