The docs
Scrubs on. Filter off.
We’re two surgeons who met as interns, survived the same 36-hour shifts and realised we spend half our clinic time un-teaching things patients learned on WhatsApp. So we started talking about it. On purpose. With microphones.
Dr. ShikuGeneral & Laparoscopic Surgeon
Dr. Shiku Mwangi
Dr. Shiku has spent over a decade in Kenyan theatres, from county referral hospitals to private wings in Nairobi. She has seen what happens when people wait too long, Google too much and trust the cousin who “knows a herbalist”.
On the mic, she is the one asking the question you were too embarrassed to ask, and then answering it with a diagram.

- General surgery
- Guilty pleasure
- Mutura after a night shift
- Most asked question
- “Daktari, is this normal?”
Hot take“Your piles are not a personality trait. Go to the clinic.”
Dr. AkinyiPlastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Dr. Akinyi Otieno
Dr. Akinyi works on everything from burn reconstruction to cleft lips, and she gets more WhatsApp messages about waist trainers than she would like to admit.
She is the voice of reason with a side of chaos: evidence first, jokes immediately after.
- Specialty
- Plastic & reconstructive surgery
- Guilty pleasure
- Reality TV, purely for research
