To take it out now will be difficult. Hopefully this will be my last abdominal surgery ever, and hopefully my last surgery ever too. I love doctors, but this is getting ridiculous!Radioactive Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588217525296865718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-26669167710164276202009-07-24T07:52:29.000-05:002009-07-24T07:52:29.000-05:00Rad Girl....

It is not a hospital I have ever had surgery at before, and I couldn't figure out why he wanted it at a hospital that wasn't his "main" hospital. Maybe this is the answer?<br /><br />He will be doing it laparoscopically first because my insurance said it has to be attempted before they cut me open. He has already told me he won't be able to do it that way, and he even has a gynecological onclogist assisting because he is sure he will have problems even when I am cut open. Wouldn't it be cheaper/more cost effective for the insurance if they let him just do one surgery instead of trying something he knows won't work first? Is this the kind of stuff you guys deal with every day? Seems quite frustrating!Radioactive Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588217525296865718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-37817075825856130442009-07-23T03:15:33.088-05:002009-07-23T03:15:33.088-05:00I took my 11-year-old son to the dentist yesterday...I took my 11-year-old son to the dentist yesterday, for a filling. Though he normally doesn't ask for the nitrous oxide, this time he decided to request it. He's not a shy child; in fact, he's the kind you want to stand close to in case you need to clap a hand over his mouth. I discovered that the gas made him even less inhibited.<br /><br />The dental assistant was preparing the compound they were going to use to fill his tooth. It was some new stuff that she had not used before, and another assistant came in to find out if she needed some help. She said "No," that she had watched the training video. Of course the boy heard this, and sat bolt upright in the chair. I've never seen anyone talk around one of those rubber dams, but he managed somehow. "You're telling me you watched a VIDEO?! You've never done this before, but you watched a VIDEO?! Don't you think you should go practice on a dummy or something before you try in in a person's mouth? I don't want to be a guinea pig! What if you mess it up?!" <br /><br />I was a little embarrassed, but the other assistant assured him she would stay and make sure everything was done correctly. I think I figured out which child I'm putting in charge of my living will.PeggyUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-70532190029910603392009-07-23T00:56:29.043-05:002009-07-23T00:56:29.043-05:00That was my guess on first reading this story, tha...That was my guess on first reading this story, that it was an unfortunately-placed trocar/scissors/bowel grasper.<br /><br />One of the few things I remember about laparoscopic surgery, that they always harped on, was to never stick an intstrument in blindly.
