    Cataract Surgery

    Just wanted to share with all here the recent cataract surgery I had. Preparation was simple, only antibiotics required prior to the op 2 days before. Day of op, fasted for 6 hrs and was a day surgery technique. Technique used was the phaco emulsification one and what it meant was removal of the lens and reinsertion of a new one. I was in and out of the OT as faster than a QQ can reach Bukit Panjang to CIQ . Waiting time was longer than total OP time. I have regained my vision fully and tested to be 6/6. Those contemplating please go ahead and go for it. Effortless

  5. Wow, people go for plastic surgery to look better. This guy ended up worse.. look like Ah Tiong
  6. I have this little bump at the tip of my nose for years already and plan to have it removed so seeking some recommendations as to whether to seek a cosmetic surgeon or any other alternatives. Its not a mole but more like excess flesh like a pimple at the tip of the nose. If cosmetic surgery, would anyone have any recommended clinic or hospital for it and what kind of budget am I looking at? Thanks
  7. Been hesitating for a long while whether should go for the lasik surgery. Always feel how nice it is to wake up with clear vision without having to find my glasses. Somehow, the thought of "what if i'm the "lucky one" the surgery gone wrong. Permanent blindness, partial blindness, loss job, etc. All these disturb and distort the decision process. Anyone cares to share your experience with lasik.
  8. The Straits Times was granted exclusive access to document an awake surgery, where doctors removed a brain tumour from patient Oh Zhi Long while he was still conscious. Mr Oh Zhi Long, 32, discovered by accident that he had a brain tumour. Less than a week later, he lay awake in the operating theatre as surgeons removed a cancerous growth from his brain. Mr Oh and the National Neuroscience Institute gave The Straits Times exclusive access to the operation. Science editor Chang Ai-Lien, deputy picture editor Wang Hui Fen and multimedia journalist Basil Edward Teo documented this remarkable surgery and tracked his year-long journey to recovery. https://www.facebook.com/STVideoPage/videos/559162254468581/ If you have about 8 minutes to share, I think this is worth watching. Never knew awake surgery was possible. Kudos to these doctors!
  9. Apologies in advance if this is not allowed This is damm heart breaking My wife and I also have a young daughter. We just donated too. just want to share with you guys https://life.indiegogo.com/fundraisers/save-baby-yujia-help-her-eat-by-her-mouth Baby Yujia is born with long gap esophageal atresia and multiple anomalies. It is a rare birth defect that unfortunately happens to her. She is not able to eat anything since her birth til now because her esophagus is not connected to her stomach. This requires definite surgery to join them together. It may sound simple but unfortunately it is not as easy as it seemed. She has been staying in hospital pretty much most of her life and recently just discharged but this is not the end of the story. To help you understand more about her condition and why we need your donation, we have made a video that self explains our current situation. Below is the video link: Thank you for spending time reading and watching this. Please help to share :) We really appreciate your kindness and hope that you can help us share our story and reach our goal. Your kind donation will help Baby Yujia to finally be able to eat by her mouth. What We Need The Surgery medical bills is estimated at 1.3million USD. As we are not US citizen, we are not covered by any insurance should we go to Boston Children's Hospital for treatment. We hope to raise enough funds to her our baby girl to get her esophagus fixed and we really hope to see her eat by her mouth soon. Thank you very much!

  12. Hey guys. I've been living with a completely torn PCL for about 6 years already. Recently the knee is getting extremely unstable, visible loss of muscle mass around knee (quadriceps). MRIs over the year show that the ACL has elongated slightly. Back in '05 where technology did not permit it involved open surgery and there were often issues such as the instability in knee and inability to kneel etc. Need to ask if the arthroscopic surgery these days for PCL recon works well or if its a better option to get a knee brace. Please bear in mind that PCL recon often pales in comparison to ACL recon. If brace, would hinged braces off the shelf work well or custom brace? Please also recommend brand/type of brace/where to purchase/order. I do not mind wearing braces for extended periods of time. many many thanks.
  13. Hi Folks, For many years, I have been bugged by my sensitive nose problem. I tend to have running nose easily and if it is not well-taken care of, it will result in more problems such as sore throat, cough and fever. The problem can be recurring. Thinking of going for a nose operation and have the problem resolved once and for all. Does anyone have any experience with such a nose operation? What is the cost, procedure, operation duration, side effects etc? Would appreciate your sharing of information. Many thanks.
  14. The Straits Times www.straitstimes.com Published on Jan 29, 2011 http://www.straitstimes.com/print/ST...ry_629462.html THE CASE Worker served with $147,000 C-class bill I HAD an accident at work last June. Initially, the interim hospital bill from the National University Hospital indicated a subsidy. But when the final bill was given to me, I was shocked. The bill for my stay at a C-class ward amounted to an unsubsidised total of $147,000. I was discharged on Aug 13 last year and the reason for the difference between what was stated in the interim bill and the final one was not explained at all. Only after I asked was I told that the Ministry of Health had withdrawn the subsidy as the accident was work- related. About a month after my discharge, I applied for a waiver of the outstanding amount of about $122,000 through my MP. This was after my company had paid $25,000. As far as I am aware, the hospital did not reply to the appeal. Three months later, after more deductions from my MediShield ($41,000) and Medisave accounts ($31,000), I was informed that the hospital was in the process of scheduling an instalment payment plan for the remaining $50,000. Needless to say, my family and I are plagued by anxiety. I am 54 years old and work in the construction sector; my wife works part-time and my daughters are still in their teens. How can an average Singaporean worker like me support a family, pay off a huge hospital bill and still find more money to pay for subsequent medical requirements arising from the accident and treatment? If I had been given a subsidy, I would not have been burdened by this unexpectedly trying financial circumstances. Tan Guan Seng

    Lasik Surgery

    Hi Any good doctors to recommend for lasik surgery. Check with a well known doctor charging as high as $2K + per eye.
  21. Aug 7, 2008 Nepal doc to S'pore: Finish what you started Twins' doctor says Jamuna should have cranioplasty performed here By Salma Khalik, Health Correspondent A TOP Nepalese neurosurgeon has accused Singapore doctors of failing to provide after-care treatment for former conjoined twins Ganga and Jamuna Shrestha. Dr Basant Pant, who heads the neurosurgery departments in two private Kathmandu hospitals, told The Straits Times in an interview in the Nepalese capital on Sunday: 'Have the twins been given the best care? The answer is 'no'.' The girls had not received the physiotherapy and occupational therapy they needed, he said. Also, he charged, Singapore doctors had broken their promise to bring the girls back to Singapore for cranioplasty, an operation to repair their skulls. 'This was absolutely promised by Singapore, but it has never taken place.' In reference to Ganga's death from pneumonia last week, he said that, 'at the very least', Singapore owed her surviving twin that cranioplasty. Reacting to his comments, Singapore General Hospital (SGH), whose doctors performed the 2001 surgery to separate the twins, said the Singapore and Nepalese medical teams had agreed that if the girls needed follow-up treatment that could be given safely in Nepal, it should be done there. 'SGH would supplement the local team if required,' its spokesman said. SGH said its doctors and rehabilitation therapists had drawn up with Dr Pant the twins' treatment and rehabilitation plans to be carried out in Nepal, and had tracked their progress in the initial years. 'Unfortunately, the family did not comply with the care plan and therapy,' the spokesman said. But the twins' family said things are not that simple. Jamuna's physiotherapy sessions at one of Nepal's public hospitals were stopped - despite the nominal fee charged - as the family could not afford the 200 rupee (S$4.40) taxi fare. It would have taken a chunk of the 8,000 rupees her mother Sandhya Shrestha earns as a teacher. Taking the crowded public bus is not an option because Jamuna cannot walk and has to be carried. She needs the cranioplasty for a chance at leading an independent life. The 2001 operation had left her and her sister with part of their brains unprotected by their skulls. The hole on Jamuna's head leaves her brain exposed to external pressure, which has affected her blood circulation and health. Since 2001, the family has returned here once - in 2005 - to East Shore Hospital, where Dr Keith Goh, a member of the 2001 team, now practises. That year, Jamuna was treated for her weak leg and Ganga had fluid drained from her head. Referring to Jamuna's possible return here soon, SGH said: 'Should the family decide to seek treatment for Jamuna at SGH subsequently, we will work in consultation with the Nepalese medical team on the appropriate treatment.' Madam Sandhya, still reeling from the loss of Ganga, wants Jamuna's operation done here. It is what she feels will give the girl the best chance. SGH is the custodian of the $58,000 that is left of the $660,000 raised in 2001 for the twins' medical expenses. It will release funds only for 'appropriate' treatment for Jamuna. It reimbursed Bir Hospital in Kathmandu in May 2004 for Ganga's scans, and East Shore Hospital in 2005. Dr Pant, who does about 400 operations on brains and spines each year, said cranioplasty can be done in Nepal, but that Singapore should finish what it started. Noting that the people here gave so generously in 2001 because they felt for the family and wanted to do the best by them, he said: 'This has not been done. Singapore started the show, so it should finish it.' [email protected]
