Scattered Thoughts

unpredictable tech..

Was watching discovery yesterday.. Medical sciences.. Its scary the cases that they discuss..

This time was about anaesthesia that hasn't really worked! Meaning.. the doctors Think that the patient does not sense anything on the operating table.. the tearing of their skin and the cuts and twists and all other torturous things you may want to think of..but... thats just what they think!! The fact is that the person very much feels the pain and is aware of the operation being done. The throbbing pain as well.. nevertheless.. cannot let the doc know. guess why.. coz the paralytic affect is at work!! Phew! Sure the person would never ever want to get back to the hosp! Wonder what abt those who suffer from something that needs another round of operation!!

Pray that no one goes thru this!

Come to think of it.. in what way can the doc know of the patients state? the heart beats? or BP? or... something else??

What use of those funky monitors that they have all over the place.. showing some red yellow green lines.. lotttts of numbers.. graphs.. if they cant tell from that... then... perhaps they should consider using it some toy store orr.. mmm..forget it.. even kids nowadays dont like toys that kind.. just go dump it in trash!
