Orthopedic Ward: Clinical Analysis

I’m grateful I can get this done, but I don’t want to go recovery. On the bright side my pain will be gone and my body can make more red blood cells. This means my shortness of breath will go away and the odds of my blood vessels blocking will decrease! I’m afraid about my surgery I really am, but I’m ready, ready to feel better and live a better life. I can do more with my family, hang out with my friends, and just feel better. Dr. Williams is coming back into the room now and is telling me were about to start the procedure.

I spent the next three hours in the lodge under the watchful eye of a very pleasant paramedic, who prescribed me the perfect blend of warm blankets and hot chocolate. The throbbing pains finally ceased, and I was able to stand up under my own power. I slowly staggered out the door, eternally grateful to the paramedics and ski patrol that came to my

We went back to the dance and I sat on the bleachers, I patiently waited for the concert to end. Afterwards we went to the emergency room to see if I had done something to my ankle. They did an x-ray and the results were that I had fractured my fibula and broken my growth plate. They put a boot on me and gave me some crutches. The next day we went to the bone and joint clinic in Columbia. They did another x-ray and we waited for the results. The doctor, with the results, came in the room to tell us. He said they might just have to pop the bones back into place. They also said they could tell me more if they did a CT scan so they did one of them and said they would call us the next day and give us the better results.

An X-ray of the claimant’s left foot performed on March 8, 2018 indicated previous remote trauma. Also indicated was advanced osteoarthritic degenerative changes in the left first metatarsophalangeal joint. The metatarsal fractures in the left foot were healed (Ex. 22F).

As many know, I had surgery this past week. Surgery is extremely rough, especially for those who have been constantly battling their problem. My knee has been a mystery for my doctor for over two years and I can not fathom why this crazy mishap happened to me of all people.These last two years have been the worst years of my life due to unexpected illnesses and surgeries.

Dr. Kellie Leitch, the Chief of Pediatric for The Pediatric Orthopedic Clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Western Ontario (CHWO) is disturbed after reviewing the data collected from patients for one of her clinics. The data shown that the clinic was experiencing significant delays between radiology and the time the patients are actually being seen by the surgeon or the resident assigned. Long wait times at clinics are aggravating in its self, so it wasn’t any difference for the young patients and their parents here at (CHWO). In addition to the long wait, parents were also losing time at work. Dr. Leitch now has the great task of having to identify all bottlenecks and to implement a process of improving the wait time issues. Such a process will reduce the patient/parents complaints of aggravation and staff complaints of being overworked. According to, King, P. L. (2011). “Bottleneck resources must be identified, managed and improved.” And also, according to, Shireman, W. K. (1999, Sep/Oct). Dr. Letich will have “to Delve deeply

I had a very intense look on my face after I talked to the doctor, because of how long I will have to be under for the surgery.

It was not long before I went to the doctors and got an x-ray confirming my foot was broken. The doctor told me I would have to wear a boot and crutches for six weeks. I giggled as I was always curious how it is to be in one of those cool boots. I miscalculated this small crack and chip on the x-ray and figured I will be alright. To be honest, I was relieved since my

Terrified was an understatement. “Surgery….surgery…surgery…” was the only word that I heard echoed through the room , and suddenly images of knifes and flesh being cut invaded my ten years old mind. Peritonitis, was what I had, “unfortunately” I thought then, yet “fortunately” I know now. My calling in life was then discovered and for that I will be forever grateful. Petrified and alone, I was yearning for someone to understand my fear and explain what is about to happen to me; to clarify what the doctors said. That 's when a Physician Assistant walked in and changed my life forever. I will always remember Julie 's smile and reassuring voice which filled me with a sense of calm and genuine comfort. She was carrying a doll and highlighted what my surgery was all about. As I lay in bed recovering after surgery, I decided that one day I will be like Julie and I will help people feel secure and safe in the healthcare setting.

Orthopedic Surgeons usually work in three types of practices. One type of practice that an Orthopedic Surgeon works in, is that they work as solo practitioners.

They had to run so much tests and questions before surgery it was so annoying. Later I find myself laying in bed getting everything connected on me so I could go to the surgery room. They said it would take about thirty minutes to finish the process of the surgery. When they came to get me I literally started to scream “wheeeeee” in the hallway while they pulled me away from my room. As I entered the surgery room it became so cold that my breath could be visible. Later a guy started to explain to me on what their going to do and how they're going to put me on the

In the preoperative phase the first interaction I had with my assigned patient was at the holding area where the assigned nurse asked Mr. A.G. for family members present at the hospital, the need for last minute calls, and if there was any questions about the surgery and post surgery procedures.

Dr. Nelson began to operate on me immediately. It felt like ages had passed before he finished putting in all seventeen stitches. He wrapped my foot up and got me on my first ever pair of crutches. I hopped around a little, trying to grow accustomed to this new life I would now be
