Surgical experience of immigrating to Canada

It is only 19 days from seeing a specialist to the day of operation. Soon. I work in North York General Hospital. This was done by a famous surgeon. I can't choose for myself. I'm not ready for the hospital arrangement. I just asked some medical friends some knowledge in a hurry. In this process, I want to tell you something about the diet and the solutions encountered during hospitalization.

Pre-operative physical examination, first register in the lobby on the first floor, then draw blood on the fourth floor, and then wait for the nurse to be psychologically prepared, for a total of four hours. Seeing well-dressed China people are accompanied by translators, that is, translators tell their identities. I didn't ask for translation because the economy was not enough. When answering questions, if you don't understand any of them, the medical staff will use another non-medical term to let you know.

The nurse asked a series of health questions and answers, but she hardly remembered them. She only remembers what disease she seems to have, what medicine she is allergic to, and many details. Finally, she asked if she had made a will, and she made it before answering. The nurse said that if you can't wake up from the operation, you shouldn't take the will, and also reported it to the emergency contact.

Then I went to see the anesthesiologist At first, I thought this blonde would give me anesthesia, but it was not found during the operation. I also asked some questions about my health, whether I had a heart attack, and many questions were repeated by the nurse. Finally, I asked if I needed a priest to pray. When I said no, I meant to cause as little trouble to others as possible. The blonde flashed a trace of displeasure on her face, and she asked again, which was quickly covered up by a smile, and then she could go home and wait for the operation.

When talking to any doctor or nurse, just answer yes or no, yes or no, and don't use ambiguous answers. If special instructions are needed, the doctor will ask the patient to explain. I thought every country's medicine was different. It turns out that medicine is universal in the world.

What I was most concerned about at that time was the way of anesthesia. The nurse told me it was general anesthesia. When I discussed it with a doctor friend in China, she said it was impossible. Your operation takes too long, and general anesthesia can't meet this requirement. You must have spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia. I said the hospital said it was general anesthesia. She said it was incredible and didn't believe it. Spinal anesthesia plus general anesthesia was used during the operation.

Medicine is still universal in the world. But Canadian anesthesiologists are good at finding the position of lumbar spine quickly and accurately. During the operation, there were a group of elderly people who were as cold as ice. An anesthesiologist is also a doctor. Except for two nurses, the whole operation was performed by a famous doctor before operation. I talked to the anesthesiologist for a while. After the operation, jump to continue.

The days when I was waiting for the operation were very stressful. I felt sorry for my friends who had been waiting for a year and a half, and I don't know how they got through this psychological difficulty. I thought about what the child would do if I didn't wake up. The father of the child is not a person who is responsible for the child, but a person who values himself more than the child. Due to all kinds of worries, the heart rate appears to be accelerated during the waiting process, and the heart problem is getting worse every day.

Tell the hospital that the hospital has tested it and it is still within the normal range. And try not to take medicine before the operation. I am very grateful to my family for their generosity. In three days, my family got Wenxin granules and propranolol tablets, a western medicine for treating heart, by international express delivery. Family members told domestic cardiologists that they did not ask patients not to use these drugs before surgery, but they could stop using them two or three days before surgery. Mom said? You can't die. Leave me the baby, and my life will be ruined. ? I tried to drink Wenxin granules for a week, but it didn't work, and the number of times I was afraid of flustered didn't decrease at all. Even I feel like my heart is about to jump out.

At this rate, you will probably be scared to death during the operation. We had to use the second scheme, propranolol hydrochloride tablets, which had a strong effect. I didn't take it three times a day as instructed, just once a day. I ate it for three days, but I didn't eat it three days before the operation. At this time, my heart is very strong, and I have no time to be flustered once a day. Even if I pull it to shoot, I don't seem to be afraid.

Take laxatives the day before the operation to clean up the stomach. I didn't eat for a day and a half, only drank apple juice. You can't drink water the night before the operation.

Surgery on Tuesday, go to the hospital two and a half hours in advance to prepare. Children go to school and are taken care of by friends recommended by friends at night. It's too early to prepare for the operation. The nurse asked me to take four powerful painkillers first. As a result, the delay of the previous operation caused my anesthetic to miss the best time of 1.5 hours, and it took me four hours to get it. I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes 1.5 hours after taking the medicine, and I was awake when I had surgery for four hours after taking the medicine.

I did spinal anesthesia first, and I want to praise the Canadian anesthesiologist for his really good skills. The second is general anesthesia, because it has passed the nap time, and the time for general anesthesia to enter the state is slightly longer than the doctor expected. Pain after general anesthesia surgery is not common. You need to take painkillers every few hours, and when it hurts, you should press the button to inject morphine intravenously. I'll mention it later.

The operation was very successful, thanks to a group of experienced medical staff. Their medical skills are not boastful, and they can be realized from the quick recovery time after surgery. When you wake up, the medical staff will touch all parts of the patient to see if the anesthetic effect of the patient has subsided. Send the patient to the ward if you feel anything. The anesthetic here fades quickly, and the wound will heal faster.

Pushing me into a triple room, a nice-looking white old lady on the bed next door said a word or two of blessing to me. It is this white old lady who has helped me a lot these days. Next to me was a strong South American lady who was discharged the next day. She especially likes strong music. In the evening, she put her mobile phone on the bed and listened to music until 2 o'clock in the morning. The voice is not loud, but I can still hear clearly through a curtain. After the operation, I am too weak to say a word. I can only rise and fall in the music, and I can't drink water.

If the wound hurts, just press the morphine button on your hand and morphine will enter the vein. I can drink a small amount of water after six hours, but since it has been short of water for a day and a half, I wolfed down a large glass of ice water with ice floes given by the nurse and asked for another one. The nurse said not to drink too much, but I was too thirsty to stand it, so I drank it. The next day, I took painkillers many times, and my stomach felt uncomfortable and vomited wildly. After I guzzled three glasses of ice water for hours, the nurse watched me swallow a bunch of painkillers every few hours.

Everyone in the same ward said it was the same. Friends, North America can't make people feel a little pain. Pain is inhuman. The nurse repeatedly told me to press the morphine button when it hurts, and not to endure the pain. After drinking several glasses of ice water, I have been taking painkillers on an empty stomach. I vomited very hard and my tears came out. I refused to take painkillers and the nurse asked me to use morphine.

Although there are nurses to take care of, the number of nurses is obviously insufficient. Mrs. Bai has also done a lot of help to me, such as calling a nurse and telling the nurse according to my situation. The second day of the operation was a day of great changes in my body. At lunch, my head fainted from hunger, although I was dripping slowly. At lunch, I brought a large glass of ice water with ice floes and dozens of milliliters of juice. After drinking, I felt cold and a little dizzy. Look at the constitution of South American ladies. The clinical constitution is thick and the hands are hairy. I understand that hospitals cook meals according to the physical standards of North Americans. Ice water has hemostatic effect.

The nurse also enthusiastically called the ice water of the ice floe fresh water. In addition to ice water and a mouthful of juice, there is a small piece of gel for dinner. After dinner, I was colder and hungrier, and I couldn't stand the hunger. When the nurse took her blood pressure, I saw it as low as 93,58. I asked the nurse if it was too low. The nurse said yes, you may not be able to leave the hospital tomorrow, and you will have to stay in the hospital for another day to observe your blood pressure. I think my physical quality is still in this state, and the consulting nurse allowed it through the nurse. I quickly called the friend of a friend who took care of the children and asked her to cook some lean meat water without adding anything and send it to the North York Hospital. There is lean meat in the refrigerator.

Half an hour later, she came with her children, saying that lean meat water had only been cooked for more than ten minutes, so she brought it first for fear that I would faint. I poured lean water into the cup, but there was no meat. I told her not to bring meat. The hospital doesn't allow it. She said not to stop too long and leave with the children. I dare not drink it while it is hot. I put ice cubes on the soup, and it soon cooled down. Wait until it's cold. I drank several cups. Soon I stopped feeling cold and began to regain my strength. After two hours, I felt very good. I asked about my blood pressure, and it rose to 1 12 65, not hypotension.

Thanks to the big pot of nutritious water, everything returned to normal before going to bed, and then I slept for 13 hours. Last night, a patient who had a persistent cough and a bad cold for many days after operation came. I didn't even know she was with me. The old lady told me this morning that she couldn't sleep all night. The patient next to me coughed too much. During the day, the old lady always asks her: Are you all right?

The patient transferred from the next bed has been operating for several days because the patient in her room can't rest. In a few days, she will be transferred to an empty bed next to me and just discharged from the hospital. Nothing, others can rest for a day or two. The white woman coughed badly and she didn't give up. The coffee she bought at home, fried chicken hamburgers and the cough of patients in the next bed made people get goose bumps all over.

The white woman opposite me went back to the hospital for re-treatment because the wound was still infected and painful three weeks after the operation. The hospital learned from the experience and prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs for me when I was discharged from the hospital, so I went to the drugstore downstairs to buy them myself. The white woman next to me doesn't know why. After the operation, her condition has been very serious, with a runny nose and a cough. The hospital had to let her stay until her illness was not serious. Although the bed is tight, she can't be swept out of the house, and the hospital can't afford her accident. Before the woman in white, South Beauty was strong, with arms as thick as my thighs, excellent figure and optimism. She is expected to leave the hospital.

Today, I have been walking since I got up. The doctor examined the wound and said that my body recovered quickly. I can leave the hospital today (Thursday). I feel that I had a good operation and my body recovered quickly. Thanks to the blessings of family and friends, to the meticulous doctors and nurses, and to Canada.

The germs spread quickly in the ward, and now I have a cold and a runny nose. I estimate that I will get over my cold in 12 hours, because I will get over it soon. Today, I had a rich lunch. I ate a lot of fish sandwiches, juice, meat and soup, and black tea. Don't add that packet of lemon juice to black tea, it's a simple hand sanitizer. I specifically asked the nurse.

I hope my surgery can help some people's friends or relatives, what procedures need to be handled, what to avoid and what to do better. I don't have any idea of making a profit. I just put it out for reference. For example, the best time to take preoperative drugs before surgery is 1.5 to two hours.

Don't drink warm soup, drink cold soup, otherwise it is not conducive to hemostasis. I am Tonga ice cube, as long as it is neither too hot nor too cold. In the big hospital here, even if the indicators are normal after a few days of major surgery, they will go home to recuperate, because the next patient under the bed needs it, and there is not much manpower to take care of patients with normal indicators, unless something happens after the operation.
