KAMPALA – Ugandan journalist Simon Kaggwa Njala has amused social media users after sharing a light moment he experienced during a hospital visit.
Posting on his X account, Njala said: “So I go to hospital this morning and I’m assigned to a beautiful doctor. After all the examination, I pick the guts to start a casual chat. I start from complimenting her beautiful handwriting, guessing the school she attended (TRICONA). She’s so excited, puts the pen down and we start ekiboozi about traditional schools, parenting, business, marriage and the kind of kids we want.”
He explained that the conversation lasted nearly an hour even as patients waited outside.
“45 minutes later, with patients waiting outside, she begrudgingly says bye to me promising to take it up from there. I actually feel healed already. I can’t wait to get sick again,” he wrote.
The post has since gone viral, with many Ugandans reacting humorously to Njala’s story, saying he may have found more than just treatment during his hospital visit.
