Day'um! When I woke up from a medical procedure, da doc that did my procedure told me - "YOU NEED an OPERATION!!!"
My first reaction............I think I totally $hit my pants!!!!
Can I say $hit????
Yes I can, when you're facing a life or death situation!!!
Lucky for me, my doc referred me to this AWESOME surgeon - Dr. Steven Nishida.
Dr. Nishida did a great job on me, and had me in/out of the hospital in no time.
When I first met Dr. Nishida for my initial consultation, I remember him telling me that I should do very well with the surgery.
He told me he would operate on me in the morning, and on the same day he expected me to get off of the bed & walk around that same evening after my surgery.
On my 2nd day, if I was able to walk around well, and eat and hold down some soft food, then on the 3rd day he would discharge me from the hospital so I could go home.
Personally, after hearing all of this, I was thinking to myself............."are you crazy!!!????"
This was some MAJOR surgery that I had to do, and you're talking about doing the surgery, then being being able to go home in 2 days?
Honestly, I was pretty skeptical.............
The end results...........everything he said actually came true, as I went into the hospital for surgery on a Saturday morning, by that evening I forced myself off of the hospital bed to walk around although I was a bit woozy because of the heavy drugs I was under.
On Sunday I felt much better, and by Monday morning I was being discharged from the hospital to go home to recover.
Bravo Dr. Nishida............UDAMAN!!!!
A few things I must tell you about Dr. Steven Nishida............
1. He is very compassionate & caring. He took the time to visit me late in the evening after the surgery (even as he had a very long day in the hospital).
He even visited me the following day (Sunday) to see how I was doing.
2. He is highly skilled at what he does, and I am living proof of his handy work.
3. He takes the time to listen, & address any concerns you have about surgery.
4. Dr. Nishida is very down to earth, and easy to talk to, he explains things clearly (in a way that you would understand) so that you will know what to expect before surgery, as well as after surgery.
Having Dr. Steven Nishida as my surgeon was truly a blessing!
Truthfully, no one wants to do surgery if they don't have to, but if your hand is forced to having to do some kind of surgery, then this is the doctor you want to have as your surgeon. read more
