Going for Surgery????

You have to undergo Surgery, this one sentence kills many even before actul surgery is performed. Surgery is one thing which we all want to avoid because none of us want to die. Many people especially heart patient have died even before they were operated. Simply because they have heard 'n' numbers of stories regarding operation. Majority of them are false and exaggerated.

Having under gone two surgery one for wrist fracture and second for gall bladder removal, I felt i should share my experience with rest of the world, so all those who are scared of undergoing surgery may be benefit ted with my experience.

My first surgery was six year back when I fell from a height and broke my wrist. Well when I came down from high stool on floor, i felt whole world going wrommm wrommm. I felt pain in my knees, hand, head. My family was on first floor so I got up, I could see my left swelling, I took my left hand in right hand and went downstairs, but the way I was no one one thought i had fracture, they even asked me to have coffee, presuming that I was joking about fracture. After I had coffee with my right hand, my mother noticed my left hand swelling badly. She understood it was fracture. I was rushed to hospital, unfortunately it being two days festive holiday, finding doctor was one big problem. Fortunately one known doctor was in city. The way i was walking with chilling pain and smile on my face no one in hospital thought that I was having severe fracture.

GOLDEN RULE : When ever you are in pain keep smiling, it reduces pain and stops unnecessary panic around you.

After X-ray was taken, doctor declared I have to undergone surgery. Anesthesia speciality was called. Till then I didn't knew what surgery was all about and what the hell anesthesia was. As I have drank coffee I had to wait for next 3 hours before I could be given anesthesia.

Golden Rule : ALWAYS REMEMBER IF YOU MEET WITH ACCIDENT AVOID FOOD, DRINK etc. It will only make you wait for longer time with pain.

Although i was given Pain killers, it was worst pain. We didn't inform anyone about accident. Reason, it was festive days and second majority of people have horrifying stories to tell you about operations going wrong, which in reality are very few in numbers.

Golden Rule : Call as many as less people for help as possible, more the people around, more scary stories.

In mean time, I called upon my Rekie teachers to give me rekie to lessen the pain. Both of them started giving me rekie, helping me in bearing the pain.

Golden Rule: Go for holistic healing it helps.

After three hours of pain for time pass, finally I was taken into operation theater. Anesthetic prepared his injection, and inserted into some tube attached to my right hand. Rather than panicking i started experiencing everything that was happening...slowly slowly i was feeling dizzy and there came a time when i told my doctor now I am feeling i will sleep and I went to sleep...then I don't want happened with me...It was was none of my business, it was doctors job,

GOLDEN RULE: Don't worry about operation, it is doctor's job not ours...They know their job well...just enjoy the sleep you get under anesthesia's effect.


All I remember when I woke up i had my mom, dad, sister, two three family friends around me. I was feeling good. I could see my my family smiling. Well you will only be able to see your family smiling after operation, if you co-operate. Rather than panicking, thinking about dying, always make a point to think good good thoughts before operation, it helps doctors to do their job properly.

People who die before or during operations are those who go in for operations raising their and doctor's BP high.

GOLDEN RULE: Never ever tell rubbish stories to patient who is undergoing any kind of surgery. It never helps....
