Also, after breaking with my parents, and telling my kids I love them, I realized how very rare it was for my father to tell me he loves me. So, tell people what they mean to you and that you love them because it might not seem like much at the moment, but it means a lot in the long run.
German medical abbreviations like SH# re, probably needing a PFNA or HTEP. Gotta prepare the papers for the AHB. Translates to broken femur at the right hip, needs a (huge) Nail or artificial hip to fix. Insurance usually pays for rehab right after the surgery so we fill out the application for that.
Also, patient has very low BI, probably won’t get the AHB. Let’s search for a KZP.
Thinking about the question I realized that my favorite game of all time (Secret of Mana) is actually not the best game I have ever played. The game I have played for the most hours and shaped my life more than any other (World of Warcraft) is also not the best game I have ever played. The game peaking at number 2 for most enjoyment and most time played for me is Diablo2. For reference the best game I ever played probably has to be Minecraft, coming in at 3rd :)
Surgery as others have said is a quick in and out and it’s fixed. Be sure you have your therapy afterwards planned and ready to go. Not every physical therapist has appointments ready the moment you leave the hospital. Also make sure your employer, health insurance or whatever applies keeps you financially afloat while you aren’t able to work. Have a plan for reentering the workforce.
Games that I want my kids to play as soon as they are old enough:
Secret of Mana Ocarina of Time Diablo 2 Minecraft
I’m 8 years in right now, 2 more to go but damn what a struggle. Building a house while simultaneously raising 3 kids and working a full time job is really hard. Thank God for the best wife I could ever ask for.
Just a heads up, I work in Germany. There’s a couple different interests involved. Most patients don’t want to stay in the hospital for longer than needed (for various reasons, e.g. loved ones at home or less people around in general…), even if they can afford it financially. Then there’s the hospital that can only bill the insurance for a certain amount per diagnosis. Also every free bed means another patient we can take care of that might need treatment more than the one we could discharge if only he had a caretaker at home. So by helping patients organize treatments and care after they are discharged we help the patients directly but also the hospital financially and future patients indirectly. The sad part is that it takes a lot of effort to find a caretaker, organize treatments etc. So much so that many relatives or friends of patients aren’t able to do it and hand it off to the professionals. It would be these relatives and friends rioting if all of a sudden this burden would be back on them and the still sick patient. So to sum it up I might feel like a bandaid because our system has made it so hard for the laypeople to do what should be more easy.
Social Worker, so maybe some parts of society would come crashing down at first but maybe turn out for the better in the long run. More specifically, working in a hospital currently, helping set up support structures for after the patient is discharged. Maybe we’d end up with people staying in hospitals for longer or visiting more frequently, could be a big hit to our Healthcare system, could force some much needed changes.
And here I am contemplating what kind of world we live in where people working a regular job can’t just get up and go drink as much as they need whenever they need… I mean ok sure don’t drop the heavy steel beam you carry with a coworker until you have it in place, but after you finished a task it shouldn’t take more than a “I’m going to take a drink” and off you go. Also sure be prepared to face consequences if you don’t get anything done… But it surely can’t be more detrimental to your work output to drink for a minute every so often than not drinking at all and getting fatigue etc.
