WHEN I SAY “STANDARD HOSPITAL WITH PROFESSIONALS,” I’M NOT JOKING
(From the Theatre Desk of De Wesley’s)
She almost didn’t go.
She said, The hospital i mentioned is too expensive.
I told her, Just go. Mention my name, they will make a discount. You need a place where lives are valued more than money.
Yesterday, she went in for her caesarean section.
Everything started well… until it didn’t.
Then came that moment every anesthetist knows too well…
when the monitor beeps change rhythm,
and a mother’s life hangs by a thread.
But thank God for machines that work and hands that know what to do.
In minutes, she was resuscitated , stable, breathing, alive.
Today, she’s smiling beside her baby.
Later, she told the team quietly that her mother died of this same thing years ago…
That hit me deeply.
Because what took her mother years ago could have taken her too if she had chosen the cheaper, unprepared option.
Sometimes, the difference between life and loss
is not the cost, it’s where and who handles your case.
When i say standard hospital with professionals, I’m not boasting.
I am reminding you that in critical moments, expertise and equipment save lives.
Mother alive. Baby alive. That’s the goal. Always.
When you choose safety over shortcuts, you’re not just paying for a surgery,
you’re investing in life itself.
