- A Nigerian doctor, Dr Bishop, shared an amusing pre-surgery confession from one of his patients.
- The patient was about to undergo an emergency operation for bowel obstruction.
- Before entering the theatre, he insisted on confessing something to the doctors.
- He admitted to secretly eating eba and ogbono soup about 30 minutes earlier, despite fasting instructions.
- The confession helped the medical team understand his worsening condition and later became a viral, funny story on social media.
A Nigerian patient scheduled for emergency bowel surgery left his medical team in laughter after revealing a shocking last-minute secret.
The incident, shared by a doctor known as Dr Bishop, unfolded moments before the operation. The patient, already prepped for the theatre, suddenly announced that he needed to confess something urgent.
Assuming it was a spiritual matter, the medical staff offered to bring in a priest or family member, but the man insisted his confession was only for the doctors.
When the doctor leaned closer, the patient admitted he had disobeyed instructions to fast before surgery.
Unable to endure the hunger, he had persuaded his brother to sneak in a meal—eba and ogbono soup—which he finished just 30 minutes earlier.
The unexpected honesty caught everyone off guard but also helped the team identify what might have aggravated his condition.
Dr Bishop later shared the encounter online, where it quickly went viral, with people across social media joking that even surgery couldn’t come between a Nigerian and his favorite food.
