Take good care of her and tell her to get better! My wife went into surgery at 12:30 yesterday. Surgery was done by 2:00 and was back home by 4:30. Yeah it's pretty crazy. This was after they initially schedule it for 12:00, called the morning of to insist we get there at 10:00 instead, and then were shocked when we weren't there at 9:00.

Get well soon Braks! My mom had her gallbladder out a few years ago and I don't think it affected quality of life much. I think mainly just some diet changes? (I'll admit, I do tend to zone out when my mom starts talking medical because it's mostly complaining about doctors visits over and over.)

Thanks everyone, she's sleeping now.

Here's hoping your wife and dad recover fully soon!  I do wonder, are the modern surgeries just that good, or is insurance trying to keep people out of hospital beds (or a small mix of both)? I always thought it was a bit crazy that within 48 hours you're sent home with a kid, but hell, just five hours ago she had a gall bladder, now she doesn't and she's resting away on our couch.

Hospitals are good places to recover from illness and surgery and great places to get an infection and have something bad happen. Getting a patient out as quickly as possible is actually a good thing for the patient. As long as she doesn't need IV access or risk of a major complication, then there is no real reason to keep her in. Better to let her sleep and relax in comfortable surroundings. If she were in the hospital, someone would be bugging her every 20 minutes, which makes it tough to get any meaningful sleep. Just keep an eye on the surgical sites (assuming this was laproscopic) and address her pain as needed. Make sure she farts sometime today if she hasn't already. Other than that tell her we hope she feels better soon!

Yeah, when I had to stay overnight recovering from surgery, it was terrible. Just everyone's room beeping constantly, a loving test code red alarm at like 2 am. Sucked! I was power walking around the ward as much as I could to say get me out of there asap.

Oh and a quick note about turnover times (TOT) for ORs. There is a constant battle between administration and surgeons (usually on the same side of things but for different reasons) and the OR nursing/tech staff and anesthesia (on the same side for the same reasons). An OR TOT involves both cleaning the OR up from the previous case and setting up for the next one, so it varies based on what the setup is. Usually its between 20 and 30 minutes, but sometimes longer for neuro or ortho cases that have a lot of instruments and imagers. Cardiac cases too because anesthesia needs to set up racks and racks of vials with clearly labeled and set up dosages. I mean look at this poo poo: Some cases will have double that. Anyways, admin and surgery want the TOT to be as fast as possible because more cases means more money and a shorter day for the surgeon. Doing so however takes time and dutiful effort. Pressure to lower that time leads to mistakes and lack of preparation. I think the bare minimum for TOT is 12 or 14 minutes, and that is if a patient is wheeling out and they need the OR for an emergency surgery. However, a good hospital will have one OR on standby at all times for an emergency so really you need 2 ORs which does happen, especially with motor vehicle collisions and sadly shootings. To get that OR ready, you have to remove all the trash and linings of the tables, beds, etc of the previous case. Sanitize those surfaces, mop the floors, clean the lights, inventory and restock any drugs and equipment, cover all the tables and beds, bring out the equipment. Once there, you can wait until surgery is about to begin and then the scrub nurse usually goes in first and scrubs, gowning themselves. Then they open the sterile equipment and lay it all out. Then they help the surgeon and whoever else is scrubbing in to gown and then the surgery begins. So yeah, its wild to do all that in half an hour, but it does in thousands of facilities everyday.

Silly Burrito posted:Wow, that's a hell of a lot of prep. It kind of depends. I am away from my computer now but when back will tell you about how OR scheduling is done. At large hospitals, one anesthesiologist does nothing but schedule and run the board, shuffling cases and staff and such during the day. Anesthesiologists will often cover two rooms at a time, with CRNAs or residents practicing under them. As far as actual surgeries go, and handling start to finish I have done maybe 6 or 7 in one day. In procedures like endoscopies, which only take a few minutes and the TOT is also much smaller since there isn't a sterile field, an anesthesiologist or CRNA can knock out a dozen or more in a given day.

that's some race car pit stop poo poo I had appendicitis and an appendectomy in 2008, and I was hospitalized for a week afterward because of some bleeding issues and then a very slow recovery from the poo poo anesthesia did to me, so I'm very glad they didn't try to shovel me out the door in 2 hours. But also resting in a shared hospital room was impossible. The nurses would change shift in the middle of the night and all the ones coming in would have a nice loud chat with each other, it was bad enough that on the fourth night I was wheeling my rack of bags and my bare rear end out there to tell them to shut the gently caress up or close all the doors or both. I wanted to be very nice to these people who were taking care of me but I had hit a sleep deprivation threshold that erased my capacity for diplomacy. e. also I could not fart or poop for nearly a week and I couldn't pee for three days even though they kept pushing liquids into me, it was agony, I eventually demanded a catheter it was that bad; the cure was to get up and walk around, apparently that tells your body to start working again after the anesthesia, but I was too nauseus to get up the first two days... on the third day my wife finally got the attention of a real doctor who was like oh we can give him something for the nausea and that fixed it in like 20 minutes tl;dr, braks you might find you can't get your butthole to work until you can get up and walk around a couple or three times, so follow doctor's orders of course but do that as soon as you can safely do it Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Mar 26, 2024 |

Hope you get well soon, Braks! Ahhh I got assigned to help with a case that has been in court for almost 11 years but it's only had 3 different ongoing case workers though, which us pretty amazing. Cleaning up all the discovery, court orders, legal assingments, and making it managable will be fun, especially since I'm knee deep in a massive project.
