Shelby will be having her gallbladder removed on Thursday. We had a consultation with the surgeon yesterday, and I was very impressed with the way he explained everything to us; he even used a life-sized colored picture of the abdomen as a visual aid. The doctor spent about 45 minutes with us and not once did we feel rushed.
Of course, I don’t have the luxury of an extra 45 minutes with each patient for hygiene instructions and patient education. Luckily, as hygienists, we can talk with our hands in the patients’ mouths. I told Shelby I could remove her gallbladder but I would have to go through her mouth. Needless to say, she declined.
Welcome to my life,
Lisa
