How a doctor said my son wouldn’t be able to walk — Ex-BBNaija housemate

Reality TV star Nina Ivy has issued a warning about placing unquestioning trust in medical professionals.

She shared a personal experience involving a doctor who claimed that her premature son, Denzel, would not be able to walk and needed therapy.

Nina explained that she dismissed the diagnosis, asserting that “my son will walk when it is time just like every normal child, around age one.”

Challenging the medical opinion, Nina said Denzel began walking even before his first birthday.

She highlighted the significance of trusting parental instincts and cautioned that some doctors may prioritize financial gain over patients’ health, often prescribing treatments that could cause further issues.

Encouraging her audience to “stay woke,” she advised them to rely on their intuition, seek knowledge independently, and understand that not every health concern requires a doctor’s involvement.

“I always tell people this, don’t blindly believe everything Doctors say about your health. At the end of the day, many of them care about the money than your actual well-being, bot physically and mentally. I remember a Doctor once told me that my son, Denzel wouldn’t be able to walk because he was born premature.

“He recommended therapy sessions but I looked him straight in the face and said ‘my son will walk when it is time just like every normal child, around age one’.

“I rejected the diagnosis on the spot. Now guess what? Denzel started walking even before he turned one. Don’t let fear or titles doubt your faith of instincts as a parent. A lot of doctors put you on medication that only leads to more complications, keeping you in a cycle of sickness and right back in their offices while funding their luxury lifestyles. Stay woke, not every situation requires a doctor. Trust your instincts and do your own research too.”
