Nurse Sts, the patient in room 103 started to have breathing problems, skin rashes, swelling, and itching after being given Ibuprofen orally...
Is the patient allergic to it? How come there’s no note present on whether the patient has allergies?
*sigh* I hope there’s technology.
Let me see the patient’s health record.
The morning shift nurse is assigned to room 103, Doc. Maybe she forgot to take down note of the patient’s allergies.
Doc, a lot of recent patients' files are piling up in our cabinet. It is difficult to look into it immediately. Probably it will take half an hour.
But what I am worried about is the route of administration of the anesthesia. I’ve read in the New York Times that it is done through blowpipes and darts. I also heard people’s feedback that it is so painful and traumatic.
Doc, I am really scared about my operation. How long it will last? Is it painful? Am I awake during the procedure?
*sigh* I only hope there’s technology to invent equipment that will help reduce the need for painful procedures.
Don’t worry ma’am, you are asleep during the procedure and besides, you will receive anesthesia before and after the surgery. Approximately, it will last 2-4 hours. It is normal to feel a slight pain at the site of surgery, and feel sleepy and lethargic.
I will agree to that, but we don’t have any equipment to administer medication, ma’am. I’m sorry.
