A Nigerian Medical Doctor has narrated the bizarre circumstances that saw his Cousin deliver a set of twins after all pregnancy tests throughout the pregnancy came back as negative, it has emerged.
The Doctor, who simply gave his name as Maxvayshia on micro blogging social networking site Twitter, said that the incident has challenged everything he learnt as a medical doctor and opened him up to believing in miracles/and or things that weren't medically explainable.
According to the alumnus of University of Benin, his Cousin visited over 14 different Consultants and Professors in different hospitals spanning across Nigeria with no pregnancy detected. Shockingly however, the abdomen of the woman in question enlarged progressively like that of a pregnant woman over the course of the 9 months.
He recounts that she had all the symptoms of a pregnant woman and felt pregnant, but the conflicting advice from several Obstetricians got her confused and even worried after some suggested that what she had could potentially be an abdominal tumour which needed to be investigated.
The diagnosis from the Doctors got the woman in question paranoid to the point that psychiatric evaluation was recommended, especially when by the 9th month a repeated scan was carried out on her heavily protruding stomach, and yet no pregnancy was detected, the Doctor narrated.

This challenges everything i know as a Doctor and makes me question everything again. If events of d present times and unbelievable miracles do not make you question things you already know and probe deeper in reflection in a bid to know more, then you should reassess yourself.
