Before you sign that surgery consent form… pause for a moment.

Many patients meet the surgeon, discuss the operation, and quickly sign the consent.

But there is a question many people never ask.

“Who will be responsible for my anesthesia?”

The person handling your anesthesia is the one who will…

Keep you asleep or pain-free
Monitor your breathing and oxygen
Control your blood pressure and heart rate
Watch over you every second during the operation.

In other words, while the surgery is going on, someone must be fully focused on keeping your body stable and safe.

Yet many patients walk into the theatre without ever meeting or confirming the anesthesia provider.

Patients need to wake up and ask the necessary questions before signing that consent form.

Ask….

Who will give my anesthesia?
Have I been properly assessed for anesthesia?
What type of anesthesia will be used?
What are the risks and how will they be managed?

This is not being difficult.

It is being informed about your own life and safety.

Of course, in true emergency situations, there may be no time for long discussions because the priority is to save life immediately.

But when the surgery is planned or elective, you deserve to understand who is responsible for your anesthesia and your safety in the theatre.

In this time and age, don’t let anyone gamble with your life.

Surgery is a team effort not a one man show.

And before you sign that paper, you deserve to know everyone responsible for keeping you safe.

A silent prayer to every woman going under the knife this morning.

And to every woman in the labour room, breathing through waves of pain while waiting to meet her baby.

May your body be strong.

May the hands caring for you be steady.

May every decision made around you be the right one.

Childbirth….. whether through va**nal birth or Caesarean Section is not a small journey.

It is courage.
It is sacrifice.
It is life standing at the edge of another life.

Some women are walking into the theatre with quiet fear in their hearts.

Some are gripping the labour bed, whispering prayers between contractions.

Some have done this before.

Some are experiencing it for the very first time.

But this morning, may safety surround every one of them.

May every baby cry loudly.

May every mother return home healthy.

And may every healthcare worker on duty today be guided by wisdom and compassion.

Because behind every delivery is a story.

Behind every operating table is a family waiting.

Today, we pray for safe mothers, safe babies, and peaceful outcomes.

The Woman in the Labour Room

There was a woman in the labour room.

She had been in pain for hours.

Weak. Exhausted. Barely speaking.

But the people around her kept saying the same thing…

“Push harder.”

Nobody asked the most important question.

Was her body strong enough to keep going?

Sometimes society glorifies suffering during childbirth.

As if pain alone proves strength.

But here is the truth many people refuse to accept….

Some women don’t need more pain.

They need medical help.

Blood.
Monitoring.
A surgical team ready if things go wrong.

Childbirth should not be a test of how much suffering a woman can endure.

It should be about safety for both mother and baby.

Too many women have been lost because people were busy proving a point instead of protecting a life.

And that is why patient advocacy matters.

Question….
Why do you think society still shames women who need medical help during childbirth? ©️Dewesleys

The Hidden Danger Many Patients Never Know About.

Many patients don’t realize that safety in surgery starts long before the operation begins.

Most surgical complications aren’t just about the procedure itself.
They often happen because patients are uninformed, unprepared, or their concerns go unheard.

As an anesthesia professional and surgical patient advocate, I see this daily….

Patients unsure about anesthesia and pain control.
Families unaware of critical care protocols.
Schools, offices, and clinics not prioritizing infection control.

Knowledge is power. An informed patient is a safer patient.

That’s why I share tips, advice, and advocacy on patient care, women’s health, and infection prevention here on De Wesley’s.

Today’s tip:
Before surgery, ask your healthcare team about….
1. Anesthesia plan and monitoring
2. Critical care backup
3. Infection control measures in place.

Every question you ask could save you from complications.

THE SILENT REASON MANY NIGERIAN HOSPITALS LOSE PATIENTS

There is something many people outside the hospital never see.

It is not always lack of knowledge.
It is not always lack of effort.

Sometimes…

It is time.

In emergencies, time is oxygen.
Time is bl00d.
Time is life.

But in many places, time is exactly what patients lose.

A patient is struggling to breathe…
but oxygen cylinders are still being searched for.

A mother is bleeding heavily…
but relatives are running around looking for bl00d donors.

A critically ill patient needs intensive monitoring…
but the nearest ICU is hours away.

While everyone is trying their best…

Minutes are quietly slipping away.

And in medicine, minutes can be the difference between….

Life and loss.

The painful part is this..

Many of these situations are preventable when systems are properly prepared.

Hospitals should not be scrambling for oxygen in emergencies.
Families should not be running around looking for bl00d while a patient is crashing.
Critical care should not feel like a luxury.

Access to functioning emergency services, bl00d banks, and intensive care units should not depend on luck or location.

People deserve systems that are ready before the emergency begins.

Because when the emergency finally comes…

there is no time left to prepare.

If you believe every local government should have accessible emergency and critical care services, drop a ❤️.

Let’s keep the conversation going until our voices are heard.

One of the biggest lies society told women is that their pleasure does not matter.

After childbirth…
After menopause…
After years of stress and hormonal changes…

Many women quietly notice something has changed.

Less sensitivity.
Vaeginal dryness.
Difficulty reaching climax.
Sometimes even urine leakage when coughing or laughing.

But because nobody talks about it openly, many women simply keep quiet and endure it.

Here is the truth.

These things are more common than most people think, and modern medicine is beginning to offer solutions that focus on women’s intimate health and tissue regeneration.

One of those treatments is called the O-Shot (Or**sm Shot).

It is a regenerative treatment using Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from your own bl00d to improve bl00d flow, tissue health, and sensitivity in intimate tissues.

The goal is simple….

1. Improve vaeginal tissue health
2. Increase sensitivity
3. Help with dryness
4. Support women experiencing mild urinary leakage

It is minimally invasive, uses your own bl00d components, and takes only a short time.

Most importantly, it reminds women of something society rarely says loudly…..

Your comfort, confidence, and segxual wellbeing also matter.

No woman should feel ashamed to ask questions about her own body.

Women’s intimate health is real health. Silence should not be the only option.

If you would like confidential information about this treatment, you can send a private message or reach out privately for a consultation.

Please note: consultations are professional sessions and are not free.

Somewhere this afternoon, a woman pushed out three babies.

Triplets.
Through the va**na.
No Caesarean Section.

Now pause.

Because I know what some of you expected when you saw this post.

You thought I would use this story to say….
See? Women that do CS are lazy.

You thought I would turn it into another competition between women.

Well… I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Today, I failed you.

I refused to use one woman’s strength to insult another woman’s survival.

Because childbirth is not a contest.
Not a trophy.
Not an Olympic event for suffering.

Yes, one woman pushed three babies va**nally today.
That is powerful.
That is incredible.

But another woman somewhere today had a Caesarean Section and stayed alive to raise her children.

That too… is powerful.

The goal of childbirth has never been to prove strength to strangers.

The goal has always been simple….

Mother alive.
Baby alive.

If that happened….
then nobody failed.

Triplets delivered va**nally today… but childbirth is never a competition.

If a woman survived childbirth….
respect her story.

It’s only lazy women that give birth through CS.

Yes.
A grown man said that in 2026.

Not 1826.
Not the stone age.

2026.

According to him, if a pregnant woman is not breaking firewood, carrying heavy loads, farming from sunrise to sunset, sitting in Lagos traffic for 4 hours… then she is lazy.

And if she eventually has a , it is because she did not work hard enough during pregnancy.

I had to pause.

Because sometimes you wonder if some people’s understanding of pregnancy stopped in primary school social studies… or an olden-days toilet discussion.

First of all…

Pregnancy is not a farming competition.
It is a medical condition with physiological changes that can turn d@ngerous without warning.

A woman can eat well.
Attend antenatal.
Exercise safely.
Do everything right…

…and still require a Caesarean Section to save her life or the baby’s life.

That is not laziness.

That is medicine doing its job.

Back in the olden days that some people love to romanticize, many women and babies did not survive .

But history did not have Facebook to post the funerals.

Today, when a CS is done, it often means a life was saved.

Not that someone was lazy.

The part that still amazes me is that some men in 2026 still think pregnancy is a test of strength instead of a biological process that sometimes needs medical intervention.

Imagine shaming a woman for a surgery that kept both mother and baby alive.

Ignorance is one thing.

But confident ignorance is a whole different disease.

And honestly…

Any man who believes childbirth complications are caused by women not working hard enough probably needs
De Wesley's education more than a relationship.

Because pregnancy is not where a man should test a woman’s strength.
It is where he should prove his maturity.

Because the scariest thing about pregnancy is not always the medical risk.

Sometimes…

It’s the mindset of the person standing beside the pregnant woman.

Ladies, before you marry a man, please ask simple questions about pregnancy and childbirth.

Some answers will save you years of stress

I’ve Seen a Father Refuse Bl00d for His Own Child.

Child critically ill.
Needs transfusion urgently.

Father says no.

For reasons that don’t change physiology.

Oxygen doesn’t care about belief systems.
Haemoglobin doesn’t respect ego.

The monitor was not debating.
The numbers were dropping.
Time was not pausing for permission.

That child almost didn’t make it.

And in that moment, the scariest thing in the room was not the illness.

It was the decision.

Because when a child cannot speak for themselves…
And the only thing standing between life and deeth
is a signature…

What exactly are we protecting?

Faith?
Pride?
Control?

Or a child’s right to breathe?

Sometimes in theatre, the hardest part is not the medicine.

It’s the mindset.

So let’s ask the uncomfortable question….

At what point should medical teams override parental refusal to save a child?

When organ failure begins?
When oxygen drops below survival?
When it’s already too late?

This is not just medical.
It’s moral.

Because if a child d!es from something reversible…

Was it destiny?

Or was it a decision?

When belief clashes with biology, who should win?

There was this pregnant girl in my area who lost her life while giving birth.

She did everything during that pregnancy.

Breaking firewood.
Fetching water.
Going to the farm.
Carrying loads her body had no business carrying.

While her so-called husband was alive and well.

You didn’t need a lab result to know she was anemic.
She was pale. Weak. Drained.
Her body was whispering, “I don’t have enough bl00d.”

But who was listening?

For over three months, I didn’t see her.

One day, I saw the husband and asked,
“Where is your wife?”

He said casually….

“Ah! That one? She don di!e now. She no fit born the baby wey she carry.”

Just like that.

No pause.
No crack in his voice.
No grief.

Then he added….

He has married another woman.
Sharp sharp.
She’s already pregnant.

He said he cannot let a dead body pause his life.

I was frozen.

Because tell me…

Did she d!e because she was weak?

Or because she was overworked, underfed, and unseen?

How many young women are slowly bleeding into anemia in the name of good wife?

How many are taught that endurance is virtue?

That suffering is loyalty?

That marriage is achievement?

Let’s be controversial today.

Marriage is not oxygen.

Marriage is not a trophy.

Marriage is not worth your haemoglobin.

If a man watches you fade during pregnancy
and does nothing….

That is not husband.
That is hazard.

Young girls, hear this clearly…

If he cannot protect you while you are alive,
he will replace you when you are gone.

Harsh?

Yes.

But cemeteries are full of good wives who endured quietly.

So let’s ask the real question..

Why are we raising girls to prepare for weddings
but not to recognize red flags?

Why do we celebrate marriage
more than we celebrate survival?

Advise the young girls in the comments.

Because silence is also part of the problem.

Endurance is not proof of love.

MY SECOND OPEN LETTER TO Verydarkblackman

Presdo,

This is not politics.

This is not criticism.

This is capacity.

Across Nigeria, emergencies are happening every single day.

Road traffic accidents.
Severe infections.
Obstetric complications.
Stroke.
Trauma.

And in many Local Government Areas…

There is no functional ICU.

Not because people don’t care.
Not because professionals are not trying.

But because the system is still evolving.

Presdo,

Emergencies do not respect geography.

When critical illness strikes, survival is measured in minutes.

Not in distance.
Not in referrals.
Not in assumptions.

Minutes.

If every Local Government had…

1. Basic ventilatory support
2. Reliable oxygen systems
3. Continuous monitoring
4. Trained critical care personnel

We would not only save lives.

We would prevent deterioration.

We would reduce avoidable transfers.

We would strengthen the entire referral chain.

Maternal outcomes would improve.

A woman with severe bleeding after childbirth should not have to travel hours before accessing organ support.

A child in respiratory failure should not depend on highway traffic to survive.

During COVID-19, the world learned a painful lesson…

Critical care infrastructure is not a luxury.

It is national preparedness.

Preparedness saves lives before panic begins.

This is not about blaming hospitals.

Hospitals operate within financial and structural realities.

This is about forward thinking.

About building systems before crisis.

About making survival less dependent on location.

When tertiary hospitals are overwhelmed, it is often because lower levels lack critical care capacity.

Functional local ICUs would…

Reduce overcrowding.
Improve response time.
Support healthcare workers.
Protect families from catastrophic delays.

Presdo,

You have a voice that reaches millions.

Not just for trends.
Not just for conversations.
But for influence.

I respectfully appeal to you….

Use your voice to draw the attention of those in leadership, policy, and health administration to this issue.

Not to criticize.
Not to attack.
But to highlight.

To amplify.

To encourage structured conversations about strengthening ICU access at the Local Government level.

When influential voices raise important national health concerns responsibly, decision-makers listen differently.

This is one of those moments.

This is bigger than trending conversations.

This is about the next emergency that hasn’t happened yet.

The next mother.

The next child.

The next accident victim.

We are not asking for luxury.

We are asking for preparedness.

We are asking for structured development.

We are asking for equitable access to life-saving care.

Nigeria deserves accessible critical care… not only in major cities, but everywhere.

Respectfully,
De Wesley's

04/03/2026

Stop Saying ‘It’s Their Family Decision.’

When a woman is bleeding to deeth….

When a child needs bl00d….

When delay equals deeth….

It stops being “family matter.”

It becomes preventable mortality.

And we must say it loudly….

Cultural practices that cost lives are not sacred.

They are d@ngerous.
