So wo duruyɛfo no yɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea soronko sen wo? So wote nka sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ bere a woreyɛ wo nipadua mu nhwehwɛmu no? (Doctor of a Different Gender) Momma yɛnka eyi ho asɛm!

So woate nka pɛn sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ kakra anaasɛ w’ani awu bere a wokɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn, titiriw bere a woreyɛ wo nipadua mu nhwehwɛmu no, sɛ oduruyɛfo no yɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea a ɛsono wo bɔbeasu a? Eyi yɛ biribi a nnipa pii te nka ankasa, enti mma ɛnhaw wo. Ɛnnɛ, momma yɛnka nea wubetumi ayɛ wɔ tebea a ɛte saa mu ne sɛnea wobɛtew saa ɔhaw yi so ho asɛm.

Dɛn nti na yɛte saa ɔhaw yi nka?

Bere a na woyɛ abofra no, ebia na ɛnhaw wo sɛ wubetu mmirika akɔ baabiara a woda adagyaw, ɛnte saa? Nanso bere a yɛrenyin, titiriw bere a yɛrenyin no , yehu yɛn nipadua yiye. Na ɛno akyi no, yɛte nka nso sɛ yehia kokoam nsɛm kɛse. Eyi yɛ ade a ɛfata koraa. Ɛtɔ mmere bi a, saa nkate ahorow yi tumi mu yɛ den kɛse mpo wɔ mmerantebere ne mmabaabere mu. Enti, ɛyɛ ade a ɛfata sɛ wobɛte nka sɛ wo ho yɛ fɛre kakra na w’ani awu sɛ wubeyi wo ntade na wode wo nipadua akyerɛ oduruyɛfo anim, titiriw sɛ saa onipa no yɛ ɔbarima ne ɔbea nna a ɛsono ne bɔbeasu a.

"Mfomso biara nni ho sɛ wobɛte nka saa. Ɛyɛ biribi a ɛkyerɛ sɛ wodwen wo nipadua ho."

Nanso, dɛn nti na oduruyɛfo hwehwɛ amu no mu?

Eyi nso yɛ biribi a ɛho hia sɛ yɛte ase. Oduruyɛfo bi hwehwɛ wo nipadua mu hwɛ sɛ wowɔ apɔwmuden. Nyarewa bi wɔ hɔ a sɛ wohu ntɛm a ɛnyɛ den koraa sɛ wɔbɛsa . Sɛ wobɛhunu nneɛma a ɛte saa pɛpɛɛpɛ a, ɛtɔ da bi a ``Nipadua mu Nhwehwɛmu`` ho hia. Sɛ nhwɛso no, sɛ wo yafunu yɛ wo yaw a, ɛsɛ sɛ oduruyɛfo no te wo yafunu nka. Anaasɛ sɛ wo koko yɛ wo yaw a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ``Stethoscope`` to hɔ na otie. Wɔyɛ eyinom nyinaa ma wo mfaso. Nnuruyɛfo yɛ adwumayɛfo kuw bi a wɔatete wɔn wɔ saa adwuma yi mu. Wohu ayarefo pii te sɛ wo da biara da. Enti, wɔ wɔn fam no, eyi yɛ adwumayɛfo ade a ɛfata ara kwa.

Dɛn na wubetumi ayɛ na ama wo ho atɔ wo yam?

Okay, afei ma yɛnhwɛ nea wubetumi ayɛ de atew saa ɔhaw yi so. Nneɛma bi a wubetumi asɔ ahwɛ ni:

1. Wo ne wo maame, wo papa, anaa ɔpanyin foforo kɔ.

Sɛ wote nka sɛ ɛnyɛ wo dɛ sɛ wo nkutoo bɛba oduruyɛfo no anim a, wubetumi de wo maame anaa wo papa, anaa ɔpanyin foforo a wowɔ ne mu ahotoso (`Ɔhwɛfo`) aba nhwehwɛmu dan no mu. Nnuruyɛfo taa ma eyi ho kwan. Sɛ wowɔ obi a onim wo yiye a, ɛremma wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ.

2. Bisa ɔyarehwɛfo (chaperone) mmoa .

Ɛtɔ da bi a, ebia wobɛte nka sɛ ɛbɛyɛ papa sɛ wobɛma obi a ofi aduruyɛ adwumayɛfo mu ka wo ho sen sɛ wobɛka w’awofo. Wubetumi abisa oduruyɛfo anaa obi foforo a ɔwɔ hɔ sɛ, "So ɔyarehwɛfo bi bɛba dan no mu bere a wɔreyɛ sɔhwɛ no?" Ɛtɔ da bi a wɔfrɛ eyi sɛ wowɔ `chaperone'. Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, eyi ma wote nka sɛ ɛnyɛ wo nko ara, na obi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛboa wo na wadi adanse. Eyi ne wo hokwan.

3. Bisa atade a ɛkata nipadua no so.

Nnuruyɛfo adwumayɛbea pii wɔ atade titiriw bi a ayarefo hyɛ bere a wɔreyɛ nhwehwɛmu no. Ɛyɛ atade a ɛyɛ tratraa a ɛbɛn. Wubetumi abisa oduruyɛfo no sɛ, "So metumi anya atade?" Afei wubetumi ahyɛ saa atade yi a wunnyi wo ntade nyinaa. Afei wubetumi akyerɛ oduruyɛfo no mmeae a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhwehwɛ mu nkutoo. Eyi bɛbɔ wo kokoam nsɛm ho ban kɛse.

4. Ka wo nkate ho asɛm kyerɛ oduruyɛfo no .

Ebia eyi ne ade a ɛho hia sen biara. Sɛ wote nka sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ a, nsuro sɛ wobɛka akyerɛ wo duruyɛfo . Wubetumi aka kɛkɛ sɛ, "Oduruyɛfo/Madam, mete nka sɛ me ho nyɛ me dɛ kakra sɛ mɛyɛ sɔhwɛ yi." Oduruyɛfo pa renserew wo nkate da anaasɛ ɔremmu n’ani ngu so. Wɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ nea enti a wɔreyɛ sɔhwɛ no ne sɛnea wɔreyɛ no mu akyerɛ wo. Ebia wɔbɛma wo akwan foforo mpo a wobɛfa so ama nneɛma ayɛ mmerɛw ama wo.

Wo de susuw ho hwɛ, Nisal kɔɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn esiane yafunu mu yaw nti. Oduruyɛfo no kae sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne nsa ka ne yafunu. Ɛwom sɛ Nisal tee nka sɛ ne ho yɛ nwonwa kakra de, nanso ɔkaa ho asɛm kyerɛɛ oduruyɛfo no . Oduruyɛfo no fi ayamye mu kyerɛkyerɛɛ nea enti a ɛho hia no mu kyerɛɛ Nisal, na afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Nisal papa sɛ ɔmmra dan no mu nkɔyɛ nhwehwɛmu no. Ɛno yɛɛ ahotɔ kɛse maa Nisal.

Ɛho hia yiye sɛ wubenya oduruyɛfo a wowɔ ne mu ahotoso na wo ho tɔ wo sɛ wo ne no bɛkasa!

Eyi yɛ biribi a ɛsɛ sɛ wokae ampa. Sɛ woyare anaa wowɔ ɔhaw bi a, wokɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn. Enti ɛho hia paa sɛ wo ne saa oduruyɛfo no nya abusuabɔ pa ne ahotoso . Ɛsɛ sɛ wutumi bisa asɛm biara a wowɔ, ɛmfa ho sɛnea ɛyɛ w’ankasa de, a wunsuro anaasɛ wugye akyinnye biara.

• Sɛ wutumi kasa fa wo ho saa a, ɛbɛyɛ mmerɛw ama wo sɛ wobɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo yare no ho nsɛm mu pɛpɛɛpɛ na woadi oduruyɛfo no akwankyerɛ akyi pɛpɛɛpɛ.
• Eyi bɛma woanya akwahosan ho nhyehyɛe a eye .
• Sɛ wonya ayaresa fi obi a obu w’adwene ne wo nkate horow hɔ a, ɛda adi sɛ ayaresa no bɛyɛ yiye.

Sɛ ɔhaw no kɔ so a, so ɛsɛ sɛ yesusuw ho sɛ yɛbɛsesa nnuruyɛfo?

Sɛ woasɔ nneɛma a yɛaka ho asɛm no nyinaa ahwɛ (wo ne ɔwofo bi a wobɛkɔ, worebisa ɔyarehwɛfo, atade a wode bedi dwuma) na woda so ara te nka sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ a, mfomso biara nni ho sɛ wubesusuw nnuruyɛfo a wobɛsesa ho. Sɛ woyɛ abeawa a, ebia ɛbɛyɛ mmerɛw ama wo sɛ wobɛkɔ oduruyɛfo a ɔyɛ ɔbea anaa ɔbea `Nurse Practitioner` nkyɛn. `Nurse Practitioners` yɛ ayarehwɛfoɔ a wɔatete wɔn yie a, te sɛ nnuruyɛfoɔ, wɔatete wɔn sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ ayarefoɔ na wɔakyerɛw nnuru ama wɔn. Afei nso, sɛ woyɛ abarimaa a, ebia ɛbɛyɛ wo dɛ sɛ wobɛkɔ ɔbarima oduruyɛfo anaa ɔbarima `Nurse Practitioner` nkyɛn. Wo ne w’awofo nka eyi ho asɛm. Kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn sɛnea wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ no mu. W’akwahosan ne w’adwene mu yiyedi ho hia, nso.

Adeɛ a ɛho hia paa a yɛpɛ sɛ yɛde kɔ fie firi saa asɛm yi mu ne

Okay, enti nneɛma bi a ɛsɛ sɛ wode to wo komam fi nea yɛaka ho asɛm nnɛ no mu ni:

• Wo nipadua yɛ wo dea. Ɛyɛ ade a ɛfata sɛ wobɛte nka sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ na w’ani awu wɔ ho.
• Oduruyɛfo bi hwehwɛ wo nipadua mu hwɛ w’akwahosan. Ɛno ho hia.
• Nneɛma bi wɔ hɔ a wubetumi ayɛ na ama wo ho atɔ wo. Nsuro sɛ wode bedi dwuma.

• Mma nntwentwɛn wo nan ase da sɛ wobɛkɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn esiane ɔhaw bi nti. W’akwahosan ne nea ɛho hia.

Sɛ wowɔ nsɛmmisa foforo bi a, wo ne ɔpanyin bi a wowɔ ne mu ahotoso anaa oduruyɛfo bi a wopɛ nkasa. Ɛnyɛ wo nko ara! Aduruyɛ mu nhwehwɛmu, ɔbarima ne ɔbea nna, oduruyɛfo, hokwan ahorow a ɔyarefo wɔ, kokoam nsɛm, nkitahodi, mmabun akwahosan
