Some Patients Survive Surgery… But D!e From Preventable Errors.

Some Patients Survive Surgery… But D!e From Preventable Errors.

Not every complication after surgery comes from the disease itself.
Some come from errors that should never happen.

Bl00d transfusion saves lives every day…. in theatres, emergency rooms, and ICUs worldwide.
But when protocols are ignored, transfusion errors can trigger rapid, life-threatening complications.

A wrong match or poor monitoring can lead to….
Sudden shock
Acute kidney failure
Severe reactions requiring ICU admission.
Multi-organ damage in minutes.

This is why hospitals across the world insist on…..

Proper patient identification
Bl00d grouping and cross-matching.
Strict monitoring during transfusion.
Team communication…especially during surgery

In anesthesia and surgery, bl00d is treated as a powerful drug, not just a fluid.
Every step matters.
Every check protects a life.

Complications are not always disease-related…. sometimes they are human-error related.

Respect the process.
Follow protocols.
Patient safety is global responsibility.

Anesthesia Is Not Sleep….It’s Controlled Loss of Consciousness

Many people think anesthesia is just deep sleep.
It is not.

Sleep is natural.
Your brain cycles in and out on its own.

Anesthesia is medically induced unconsciousness.
Your brain does not wake itself up.
Your body depends entirely on monitoring, drugs, and trained hands.

Under general anesthesia…
You may not breathe effectively on your own.
Your airway can collapse.
Bl00d pressure and heart rate can change suddenly.

That is why anesthesia care focuses on three life-saving priorities….
Airway
Breathing and Circulation.

Every second, monitors track oxygen levels, heart rhythm, bl00d pressure, and ventilation …. because under anesthesia, the patient cannot signal distress.

Nothing is assumed.
Everything is watched.

Sleep ends naturally. Anesthesia must be reversed by the Anesthetist … or else?…. The case becomes a story.

Ask questions.
Understand your care.
Your safety depends on it.

Because under anesthesia, deterioration is silent…
and seconds don’t ask for permission.

You can’t be following me if you’re not a lover and a good caretaker of your health.

This page is not for panic.
Not for shortcuts.
Not for denial.

It’s for people who understand that what you ignore at home can follow you into the operating room.

That untreated bl00d pressure.
That chest pain you kept quiet about.
That asthma inhaler you stopped using.
That fasting rule you broke because it was just small water.

In real life, we see it.
Patients who look fine…. until anesthesia exposes what was hidden.

We value screening.
We respect pre-operative assessment.
Because anesthesia doesn’t negotiate with secrets.

Love your body enough to speak up early.
Care for it enough to follow instructions.
Respect it enough to take symptoms seriously.

Because under anesthesia, you cannot explain yourself.
Preparation speaks for you.

Real life choices show up in theatre.

Choose knowledge.
Choose prevention.
Choose safety.

Chasing Likes Can Affect More Than Your Mood …. It Can Affect Your Heart and even make you d!e slowly.

We are seeing something worrying in this era.
More and more big content creators are falling ill, burning out, or daing suddenly ….. young, visible, and seemingly healthy.

No, social media alone may not be the cause.
But chronic stress is a silent contributor we can’t ignore.

The constant pressure to perform.
To stay relevant.
To trend.
To outdo yesterday’s post.

This cycle fuels dopamine highs and cortisol overload ….the same stress hormones we see elevated in sick patients and before surgery.

When cortisol remains high for too long, the body begins to pay a price….

Healing after illness or surgery slows.
Sleep becomes fragmented
Pain tolerance drops.
Bl00d pressure rises.
The heart stays under constant strain.

In the hospital, one truth is clear….

The body does not separate emotional stress from physical stress.

Whether it’s pre-op anxiety, ICU stress, or nonstop online pressure….
the nervous system reacts the same way.

Your body feels every emotional stress.
Even the ones hidden behind filters and smiles.

Your body keeps the score.

Calm the mind.
Protect the body.
Log off when you must…your health is worth more than social media engagement.

Bad Relationships Aren’t Just Emotional ….. They’re Surgical Risk Factors

You might think that emotional stress and relationship problems only affect your mood.
But your body reacts to stress just like it reacts to illness.

Chronic emotional stress…like constant fights, pressure to “perform,” or toxic dynamics …. spikes cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.

High cortisol does more than make you anxious….

It increases heart rate and blood pressure.
It affects immune function, slowing healing.
It interferes with sleep, which is critical for recovery.
It can even alter how your body responds to anesthesia, making sedation trickier and recovery slower.

When you walk into surgery already stressed, your body is preloaded with physiological strain.
This is why anesthetists always assess stress, anxiety, and overall health ….not just the disease we are treating.

Your spouse should support your health …..not sabotage it.

Protect dignity. Protect your body.
Manage stress before it affects your mind, your relationships, and your recovery.

This is exactly my point on this app.

4:40 am — she felt her baby’s body was hot.
5:47 am — they were already in the hospital, being attended to.
They even trekked. Ruth Aire

No waiting.
No assumptions.
No “let’s watch till morning.”

Babies can’t talk.
Delay can cost lives.

This is what I keep teaching here…
Recognize d@nger early.
Act fast.
Go to the hospital first.

Let’s celebrate this mother’s courage.

Speaking as an anesthetist whose primary duty is to protect the airway and keep patients alive….

This belief…. “he was not supposed to be given injection” …. is a d@ngerous myth.

There is no single machine that can instantly detect all poisons before giving an injection. Poisoning is diagnosed by…..

History (what happened, what was taken, when)
Examination.
Vital signs
Targeted laboratory tests…
These take time …. and emergencies don’t wait.

Here’s the reality from the hospital side….

When a very sick patient arrives, the first priority is not injection.

It is….
Airway….. can the patient breathe and protect their airway?
Breathing ….is oxygen getting in?
Circulation …. is bl00d pressure and heart activity stable?

Many patients d!e not because of an injection, but because they arrived too late, already….
Hypoxic
In shock
Or with a compromised airway.

The injection often becomes the last event, so it gets blamed …. even when it was given to save life.

Traditional illness vs hospital illness is a false divide.
Poison, infection, shock, and metabolic collapse all affect the same organs …. brain, lungs, heart.

What curtails this myth is….
1. Early hospital presentation
2. Honest history (including herbs, substances, native treatments)
3. Public education that injections don’t
k!ll ….. delayed care does

4. Trust in emergency protocols, especially airway protection

From my end in anesthesia, I can say this clearly…..

Many deeths blamed on “injection” were actually airway deeths …. the patient could no longer breathe or protect themselves before help arrived.

Hospitals don’t k!ll people with injections.
Late presentation and hidden information do.

Emergency care works best when it is first, not last.

When Emergencies Happen, Time Is Life

The deeth of a young person is always painful.
It shakes us.
It raises questions.
And it leaves lessons we must not ignore.

In medical emergencies, time is everything.

Severe illness does not wait.
The body does not negotiate.
And delays can be fatal.

When something suddenly goes wrong….
collapse, severe pain, uncontrollable symptoms….
the hospital should be the first stop, not the last option.

Emergency departments are built for speed.
For oxygen.
For fluids.
For bl00d tests.
For life-saving intervention.

Not prayers instead of care.
Not assumptions.
Not experimentation.

Faith is powerful.
Tradition is personal.
But medical emergencies require medical response…immediately.

Many lives are lost not because help doesn’t exist,
but because help was sought too late.

If something feels wrong, act fast.
Don’t wait it out.
Don’t try shortcuts.
Don’t move from place to place while the body is failing.

Hospitals save lives….
especially when they are reached on time.

Delay is d@ngerous in emergencies.

Recognize d@nger signs.
Act fast.
Go to the hospital first.

Anesthesia Exposes Lies the Body Has Been Hiding

Bad advice hides well in daily life.
You feel fine.
You function.
You move on.

Until stress comes.
Until surgery happens.
Until sedation removes compensation.

In the operating room, there are no filters.
No shortcuts.
No social-media medicine.

What you ignored shows up.
What you hid matters.
What you followed without verification can fail you ….
and place the entire surgical team at risk.

Anesthesia doesn’t negotiate with stories.
It responds to physiology.

Truth shows up in theatre.

Choose safety over social-media dos and don’ts. De Wesley's

Sometimes, I feel terrified knowing that deeth is inevitable.

Knowing that someday, everyone will d!ee… young, old, strong, weak.

In the hospital, I don’t just hear this truth …. I meet it.
In the operating room.
In the emergency department.
In the ICU, where hope and fear sit side by side.

Sometimes, a patient doesn’t make it.
Even when I do everything right… it still hurts.
It shakes me.

I see how fragile the human body is.
How thin the line is between here and gone.
How man-made suffering can cut even deeper than disease.

Some days, the weight follows me home.
The anxiety sits quietly in my chest.
I ask myself why life can be so unfair.

But still… I show up.
I care again.
I stand between life and loss ….even when it breaks me a little.

This work changes me.
Not because I am weak….
but because I am human.

And maybe the fear I feel is not failure.
Maybe it is proof that my heart is still alive.

We carry what many never see.

It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to pause.
It’s okay to seek support.

You are not alone .
