The Conjoined Twins And Mighty 'Men Of God’
.....................................
When I heard of the conjoined twins at Komfo Anokye hospital I wished this was in the time of Jesus. Peter and Mark would rush to the great teacher and miracle worker screaming “Rabbi, Rabbi, you have to come quick, there are conjoined twins that need to be separated.” Jesus would rush to the home of the twins. The distraught mother of the twins would prostrate herself at the master’s feet crying uncontrollably. Jesus would walk to the bed and lay his hands on the babies. He would say a short prayer. Right before the eyes of the small crowd that had gathered, the tissues that joined the two babies would be heard separating. Not before long, it was done! The babies would be separated! The crowd would wonder and marvel and go away praising God.
Unfortunately, this is not the first century. Dr. Boateng Nimako and his team tried their very best at komfo Anokye, but the babies did not survive, probably because we do not have the medical equipment to keep them alive. Collectively, our heart is broken as a nation. Psychologically, we are defeated. We wanted to tell the world that our doctors are capable, that we have arrived, that we are not some banana republic. We wanted to celebrate with the parents and family of the babies. After the Black Stars painful elimination, this would have been a soothing balm to our bruised soul.
As a Christian, several questions come to my mind. Ghana has more prophets and pastors with big titles than any nation in the world, next to Nigeria. How come no prophet came forward to perform a miracle to separate the babies? My pastor says if you believe, you can perform miracles, just like Jesus did. Anytime there is a serious medical emergency like this one, our miracle-working pastors are nowhere to be found. Their best excuse is to ask us to pray for the doctors. They go back to performing their ‘miracles’ after it is all over.
The Yoruba prophet T. B. Joshua is known all over Africa through his Emmanuel TV, for performing “miracles” but when a case like this arises, he is missing in action, he is silent . There is a deafening silence among these prophets and pastors. Are their miracles only on TV? Where is Duncan-Williams and Mensah-Otabil? Where is Rev. Owusu-Bempah? Where are all the men of God?
Jesus performed many miracles. He fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread. He spoke to a storm to calm down. He walked on water. He put back a soldier’s severed ear. How come no man of God is able to walk on water or calm the seas or put back an ear today? The only miracle these pastors perform is cast out demons. That’s it! They all claim to cast out demons- look for some psychologically disturbed individual and speak in tongues at them, sprinkle holy water on them and voila! You are a great prophet, a wondrous worker of miracles! Is it because this is one miracle everyone can fake? There is also the ubiquitous wheel chair miracle. There is never the healing of someone with withered and twisted legs. Always the person in a wheel chair forced to run across the stage. Can any of these men of God just perform some real miracle for once?
Are there miracles today? It would be great to see a man of God part the Volta into two like Moses did the Red Sea. What about a man of God command fire from heaven like Elijah? A really impressive one would be a man of God making a 90yr old woman have a baby like Abraham’s wife Sarah. God is the same, he does not change, as the Bible says, how come these miracles don’t happen through our so-called prophets today?
We are tired of the healing crusades where all these’ men of God’ do is pretend to cast out demons and make people with normal legs walk. If you note carefully, they never heal the people with twisted, broken legs. They all recycle the same old tired miracle tricks. These are not miracles, these are tricks to take money away from poor and sick people.
Our politicians, NDC or NPP, love these fake miracles because instead of us pressuring them for modern equipment and facilities at hospitals like Korle-Bu and Komfo Anokye, we put our hopes in miracles from the honey-coated lips of ‘men of God’. Instead of questioning the fat salaries of those in parliament, while our hospitals are death traps, we go to church and fast and pray and pay tithes and cower in the self-deluding belief that when there are conjoined twins, we can miraculously separate them in the name of Jesus.

When I first saw the picture of the supposed operation site I thought it was a babecue lunch organized by friends in their garage. So Ghana with all the noise about economic success is still so backward? The doctors looked like some blue clor workers in a hospital in Jamaica. And what kind of doctors are they koraa? So they had no way of scanning to see the relationship of the internal organs to one another, what a pity!

On a serious note Ghana is not ready to do surgeries of this magnitude -separating siamese twins. The Doctors should not even have attempted to separate the twins but rather to seek for help from a more advanced country. Normally in cases like these, you can even get some US Doctors to volunteer to bear all the costs for the Airfare and all the Medical Bills.

Readers on this forum should be really careful with their comments. Those making negative comments have absolutely no medical knowledge and yet that does not prevent them from running their mouths of, so to speak, with all kinds of silly, ignorant nonsense.
Operations on conjoined twins have taken place in many other parts of the world, and not all of them have been successful! In complex surgery, unforeseen complications can occur without warning at any time. Also even when the surgery itself has been successful - as was the case at KATH - complications can develop in the post-operative phase.
The main problem with conjoined twin surgery is the organs and/or veins that may be shared. One famous case that might be instructive was the separtion of Iranian conjoined twins, Ladan and Laleh Bijani, in 2003. These were two adult twins, 29 years old, and university graduates. "...they underwent surgery on July 6, 2003, under the care of a large team of international specialists at Raffles Hospital, composed of 28 surgeons (including world-renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson) and more than 100 support staff working in shifts." (Wikipedia). Please note that Dr Ben Carson, an African-American, is the world's No 1 neuro-surgeon. The operation was extremely difficult because the twins' brains shared a major vein which had fused together. Nevertheless the twins were successfully separated but with much blood loss during the process of repairing the shared vein. Thus the twins died during the post-operative stage within roughly one hour of each other.
So even in one of the best hospitals in the world, with some of the most accomplished surgeons in the world, such operations can end in death of the conjoined twins. Let Ghanaians learn to be appreciative of their medical professionals who work in very difficult conditions and are paid peanuts. Hearty congratulations to all the doctors and support staff who participated in this most difficult operation!

The outrage and anger directed at the medical professionals is misplaced. They carried out their investigations and thought an attempt at separation was better than the state the children were in. Regarding the facilities in which the children were operated upon, the picture may be misleading. Before you go on to bash the doctors for the poor conditions in our hospitals, consider your response to a protracted strike for top-of-the-range medical facilities in all districts. You then have your answer to why someone who knows better than to operate under sub-optimal conditions does it. So he or she can save the life of the omniscient Ghanaian only to be blamed later for it. To put it simply, instruct your employees in the government positions to give you your due in terms of quality healthcare.

Let us call all these guys 'Doctor Death'
On a serious note Ghana is not ready to do surgeries of this magnitude -separating siamese twins. The Doctors should not even have attempted to separate the twins but rather to seek for help from a more advanced country. Nor ...

Well said. Even India is well advanced in such cases. These Doctors are incompetent to start with. They should have carried out a risk assessment first, weigh the outcome, and then they would have known whether to refer the c ...

Yes,it´s like u are succeessful in an examination but did not attain a certicate.This is how i understand yours.
The new name for Ghana Doctor's are members of the striking ship.
Always on strike but know nothing. killers of the land. Ckut and paste doctors of the century.
Why didnt the so call men of God see this coming? they always seem to know when somebody is going to die ...how come they did not see this?....
THEY ARE ALL AZAA SAKAWA LIARS. ALL THE ASTORS AND PROPHETS WHO CLAIM TO HEAL AND CAST OUT DEMONS ARE LIARS. ALL THE MIRACLES THEY PERFORM ON TV ARE FAKE, JUST TRICKS.
I pray that Joy Online got it wrong and that the strike-loving General Secretary did not state: "the geological investigation was a little bit difficult." It is important the doctors concentrate on clinical investigations and ...

Going on strike is best the know.
If the had spent the time they went on srike to study it would have benefited them.The nation must know how to talk about this, otherwise they will be angered and go on strike.

I hope that this isn`t the operation theatre where the opration took place.It looks very horrible.
If the doctors didn't know if the twins are using same bowels or not,then they shouldn't have done the operation at all since that is a vital assertion which need confirmation before any operation of this nature can began.Ple ...

If after 56 years you can not conduct such an operation then what is the meaning of being a doctor?
