Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen as a therapeutic aid. Oxygen therapy benefits the body by increasing the supply of oxygen to the body on a cellular level and thereby increasing the availability of oxygen to the body tissues.
The national statistics are that death by doctors and hospitals is a reality in America (and even the world) today. Hospitals and doctors are the third leading cause of death in America. Possibly a lot of this statistical number has to do with prescribed drugs, but lets face it, you can get a bad prescription while in the hospital just as easily as you can get one-to-go.
Doctors Are the Third Leading Cause of Death in America
In order to assure that you do not accidentally die from a gross medical error or suffer other complications because of a slight medical miscalculation, follow these 10 steps:
1. Before you go to the hospital for a planned surgery, write down all the questions that are buzzing through your head right now – AND ASK THEM! Ask the doctors, ask the nurses, ask anyone who assists you. Ask the same question of different people if you are not sure you understand something.
2. If you know that you are going into the hospital for a planned surgery, take a black magic marker and mark the site yourself. Then you can rest easy, let the anesthetics do their job and have a good surgery of the correct body part. Why take a chance of an accidental amputation? The loss is much greater than the few minutes it takes to prevent it.
3. Be absolutely certain that everyone you come into contact with in the hospital knows your name. Say it loudly and often to every medical person who assists you. Also have a family member ensure that your correct name is written on your bed if you are sharing a room. And have that person secure your purse or wallet or even take it home for you, remembering to keep your driver’s license for id purposes.
4. Be 100% certain you know what medications you are being given at all times (as much as will be possible, anyway). Ask what they are and what they are intended to treat. Most medical professionals are glad for an opportunity to share their knowledge. You can also ask about side-effects, but bear in mind that nurses don’t always know this information. Be patient with them if they have to research it first.
5. Doctors and nurses are sometimes harried and in a hurry. Expect this and be ready for it. Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer next to your bed and politely hand it to EVERYONE who enters your room, whether they plan to touch you or not. If they say no thank you, you are within your rights to politely INSIST that they give you the assurance of knowing that you are being touched by clean hands. Don’t be a victim of an accidental or opportunistic infection.
Everyone who touches anything you touch should sanitize first!
6. Once you feel well enough, write down everything you are told by your doctors and nurses. You will be surprised at how much more informed you are as you review those notes later.
7. As you prepare to leave the hospital, make sure you understand what medications you will have to take. Another thing, if you can’t read your prescriptions, it is entirely possible that your pharmacist can’t either. Don’t take that chance. Take the mystery out of your prescription. Have the doctor spell it out and you can rewrite it yourself on the back of your prescription.
8. Always try to get someone to go with you when checking in and always have someone pick you up when leaving. Even if you have to pay someone to do it, it is worth the peace of mind knowing that you will make it home safely.
9. You will be amazed at all the new questions you have or situations you don’t understand AFTER you get home from the hospital, so make sure you have phone numbers of doctors or nurses that you can communicate with about whatever you may experience.
10. Plan for your return home weeks before you enter the hospital. Make sure that you have adequate help in fixing meals, walking the dog, cleaning the litter-box, light house cleaning, getting the mail, etc. Also find out from your doctor or hospital what you will be able to eat and what you should eat after your surgery. Make sure you stock up before you go in.
Now that is only ten things…in actuality there will probably be a thousand things you need to do to get ready for a hospital stay, but having these ten things taken care of will make your hospital stay, your operation, and your return home easier and give you some peace of mind.
And, after all, that’s what it’s all about. Your comfort and your safety.
