Dr Peninah Musyoka, now a paediatrician, was playing with her siblings outside their home in Yatta in Machakos County as their mother was preparing porridge. When it was ready, they all went inside but continued playing on a springy bed in the kitchen area.
But alas! Peninah jumped high, missed the bed and landed on the hot pot of porridge, scalding her back. She was rushed to Matuu hospital where nurses dressed her wounds, and this one medic kept checking up on her, ensuring she was not in pain.
It was from the concerns of that medic that she decided to become a doctor and even began playing doctor in childhood role-play games.
