@@MedicalSecrets absolutely….you inspire both patients AND Drs with your attitude and knowledge. As Drs, we both know the limits of medicine. But if all Drs can take a similarly respectful and interested attitude, the trauma of contact with the medical system wd be massively reduced!
I just missed the live, but as a member of Gen Z (17) I am getting surgery in 2 months. I’m not nervous about it (I have had the surgery twice before, as it’s to correct my lazy eye), but this will be my first time having an IV to calm my nerves. The last time I got surgery (13), I woke up in more pain then usual from what my optometrist said. I believe I had so much pain because of my body going into a state of panic before I was unconscious. I remember feeling a little nervous when the mask was put over my nose and mouth, and that nervousness turned into a panic attack before I went unconscious. Thank you for making content for people to watch and be informed!
@ Medical Secrets What if you have had several surgeries that were a nightmare? I have several surgeries that need to be done soon & I’m extremely concerned about them?? I’m extremely weak, been bedridden for close to 2 years & down to below 70 pounds?? What do you advise?
I am a mental health therapist and I am very happy to see you addressing not only the physical aspects of healthcare, but the emotional ones. As mental health first aid is often looked over and it is such a priority. We cannot separate the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
I want to thank you for doing these videos, I am amazed at the stuff you say. I am a boomer and have had many many surgeries and having a nerve block implant put in Sept 14th. I really wish you were my Dr as I have never had one call me before and go over everything. I only see them 5 minutes before going into surgery. Keep up the awesome work
Hi! Had my surgery yesterday, your videos did help me alot. Thank you. My heart rate did spike when I woke up, that was scary. I was in recovery for a while and I really didn't get an answer why that happened. Home and Feeling better now.
@@MedicalSecrets It's going good so far, thank you. I had my gallbladder removed so just really soar. Im 42 and this was my first surgery. Yesterday my face got really red and hot for a bit and then I got really bad shivers before bed. I googled for causes of course... and it said these could side affects of the anesthesia.
Hi Dr K, having surgery in 2 weeks. L5/S1 fusion. Sorry I missed your live. Time Zone difference a bit crazy. I was fast asleep. Many thanks for this informative video. Learnt a lot of relaxing tips i can use to calm my nerves ahead of surgery. Appreciate what you teach us after your busy work days. May you be blessed abundantly! Hope you have a good week further! 🥰
I thank god or whatever force brought us into this world for you surgeons, anesthescists(I know I spelled that wrong.), and your teams for keeping me alive after my dirt bike accident when I was 13. I am 27 now, and none of these years would be possible without you guys. I think I was an easy patient to take care of thankfully, I understood that I needed to be hurt to be helped and I could remain calm during most these procedures while they did things to me. Before surgery they came in and put me at ease and told me what was about to happen to me{Emergency splenectomy and wanted to check my lacerated kidney), and I thanked the man and proceeded to the O.R. The injections started, the mask was on and I was told to count backwards from 10. I could only get to about 8 or 7 before my vision swirled and I was waking up in a small room by my self. That's right as you suspect I remembered absoluetley NOTHING. I sat up, then felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I lifted my gown and seen a long cut with a sterile strip covering stitches. I then remembered that I was to be having surgery, assumed I had, and then to my 13 year old self said "Fuck this" and layed back down and immediately fell asleep. I only cried from pain once, post surgery after they found I had fluid in my lungs and I had them drained under conscious sedation, I remember the beginning of that procedure before I started hallucinating that I was dancing on the table to show them all I was just fine and could infact go home. (LOL) Only when afterwards when they wanted to check the wound did I cry because rolling over was just so excruciating. After that It was relearning to walk as I had lost my ability after 9 days in a bed and on drugs. I am forever thankful for them, they were and are my angels. I hope my thank you note for saving my life made them all know that they belong in this field! Thank you Dr. Kaveh, and know that what you yourself, and what you do means so much more to us than what you might think.
Thank you so much for such informative videos, I get a lot of surgeries due to having a lot of health problems, my last surgery being a double gurdlestone procedure and the removal of 80% of my femur bone that snapped in half and stabbed out of my thigh and because I was too sick to have surgery to correct the problem the bone turned black and died and it spread into my thigh killing the bone inside so I had to have 80% removed and my hip replacements were rejected by my body several times and they had to be removed.. so some of the videos you have posted have explained so much and answered many questions I had after my procedures.
I'm so sorry you had that experience, but I greatly admire your vulnerability in sharing that. I hope that you feel empowered with your knowledge to advocate for yourself better than ever before 🙏
As a boomer, my 1st 2 surgeries were c sections! I learned in the mid 1980s that our minds (with my 2nd) that our mind set is the utmost importance! I breezed thru it and it was amazing! I went home a day early, I was told how great I did compared to the rest of the ward! It is a mind set! Fast forward and 2 more surgeries, the last was spinal. My mind set was again, very positive. Yes, pain. A long recovery. BUT, positive mindset got me thru. Off the drugs faster, moving good sooner and 2 years later if asked would you do it again? YES, the relief is amazing! A positive mind set got me thru it!
Good protein, like mild fish and chicken with vegetables but stay away from dark leafy vegetables because certain ones can prolong wound healing. Wholesome hearty soups I usually home made before and after helps heal except right after surgery I usually go real light a day or two afterwards until my vitals get back to normal.
Hi doctor How your are so loving and how you developed your communiction skills like that ? Because I am a 3rd year medical student and I just love how you have these communication skills and I want to learn form you …! 😊
Your videos doc are as cool as you are!! I'd love to have a antastezilogist on my side like you are. You rock brother! Can i hire you out and keep you on the side for my next operation (s) that could be upcoming, Lord forbid? 🤣 ALWAYS AWESOME CONTENT WITH SO MUCH COMPASSION!! 👍
Had open heart surgery a few years ago and not sure what they used. All i do know is that it wiped my memory severe. I remember the helicopter ride, landing and going down the elevator and that's pretty much it until they let me wake up approx. a week later. same with the other surgeries but no anxiety really since I'd been through it before. but they did offer lorazepam just in , case. I've found that nature sounds, ie. rain, ocean waves has a decent calming effect and chemical free...
It's too bad insurance companies don't cover acupuncture and acupressure therapy that you spoke of. Those are very expensive for patients to pay completely out of pocket. I would love to be able to afford acupuncture to see if it would help with nerve pain. Nothing else seems to.
Although I am a boomer, medical abuse as a child made me terrified of having to have both knees reconstructed, brutal surgery as we know.So for months before knee one, I binge watched the UK tv show The Supervet where Professor Noel Fitzpatrick performs miracles on animals especially dogs.I watched how stoic his patients were, because they dont have to fight our greatest enemy, our mind.The animals just knew...ouch, that hurt, wont do that again...and healed.I could not have gone through the surgeries without this technique, and in doing so, discovered the miracles of ketamine. Sadly, in backwards Australia, ketamine is not readily available,and as a chronic pain person with constant depression, it could help me so much.
I'm so sorry you had that experience, but I greatly admire your vulnerability in sharing that. I hope you learned something new and feel empowered to advocate for your health 🙏 I'm wishing you the best
God i think this video was made for me. Im genz and i need some serious dental work and i have since i was 10 years old im 20 now and ive been putting off the work due to an extreme fear of doctors, dentist, medicine, surgery the whole thing all of it horrifies me but i know i need to get it done bc its been too long so I've been calling alot dentists and trying to find somewhere to go to get my work done so the fact im seeing this video now has realived quite a bit of anxiety but im still horrified.
Hi Dr. Kamehameha. I came upon your video before going into surgery for the first time in my life and it gave me so much stress until the big day. I'm Gen X & when I went to the pre-op area I cried, but when I got to the surgery room I was balling. My question is, why is my stomach distended when I had a laminectomy?
I with distraction made me not feel the needle! 🤣 I had an IV with my daughter (mag sulf & pit drip) during labor and someone hit the line. I screamed louder than I had for a contraction. My family immediately looked at my IV whilst the medicos looked very confused at the contraction monitor.
i have to have metal removed from my legs from compound fractures in both legs, ive had surgery so many time that i actually get really relaxed before surgery. still worried and scared but physically relaxed.
Could you make a short of the breathing technique? There’s someone I work with who could use it but they’ve had so many surgeries that watching the entire video would trigger them but likewise they feel like they have to do all the Things so having them just skip forward wouldn’t work.
& Medical Secrets, What if you’ve had several surgeries over the past 47 years & each one was a nightmare? My first surgeries were when I was 24 & was operated 7 times in one year. Then another was for an exploratory surgery that turned out horribly, but an unauthorized surgery was done instead destroying my life, & the last one was pretty much the same. What do you advise?? I need at least 3 more surgeries, but I am bedridden & down to less than 70 pounds?? Help!!! 😭
make sure you really need the surgery, and that the benefits outweigh the risks. If you really do need it, then try your best to distract yourself with other topics and not think about it. Try to relax with a favorite show, book, music, coloring or something if possible, and best of all, comfort and light touch from a loved one if possible. Try to not even think about it, as that doesn't help. Try to see if you can have a meeting with the surgeon beforehand to assure you that he is doing the correct surgery, and why it needs to be done. Then, after that, try not to think about it.
Oh yeah, I’m afraid I can’t stop my pain meds before surgery. My daily pain levels are 7-8 on the daily and have been for over ten years. My last pain free day was in October of 1987. And melatonin doesn’t seem to affect me. Natural redhead and I don’t know if that’s why.
How do you get over the fear of almost dying with your last surgery? I believe that I was over medicated and I ended up in ICU with my pulse and BP bottoming out.
That's a very good question! I can't give any medical recommendations or for social media, but I am working on ways to have a better question and answer for what I use personally!
It is not fear but distrust of who does the surgery in France. Is it the senior surgeon or is it his trainee fellow or his intern who is doing the surgery? I think the patient must be informed before the surgery to give his consent! What do you think? Thank you for reaction to this for I was gaslite by the senior surgeon.
Thank YOU!!! I learned so much from the anesthesiologists. They helped me to understand how metabolic processes interacted and affected the patient when just one thing was off. People don’t generally understand what an anesthesiologist actually does and the training they go through. It is grueling 😩 and I have seen some superbly talented anesthesiologists save the lives of patients who would have perhaps died with a less gifted doctor at the head of that table.

Hello Mel Doerr 👋
Your doing fabulous
for just having surgery.
Happy Happy Happy💕
Loving the Superman curl.
I'm not afraid of the surgery, actually I am afraid of the SURGEON! The same surgeon that treated me as irrelevant in his office.

Wholesome hearty soups I usually home made before and after helps heal except right after surgery I usually go real light a day or two afterwards until my vitals get back to normal.
I’m Gen X and I am always afraid of going under anesthesia. I have to get facet joints injections in a couple of weeks and I am mortified!!
Hi doctor
How your are so loving and how you developed your communiction skills like that ?
Because I am a 3rd year medical student and I just love how you have these communication skills and I want to learn form you …! 😊
Could you make a video about surgery for a diabetic patient with an out of control diabetes.
I would love to! I just need to add it to the list, which is quite long!

Hi Dr Kaveh
Good live stream! I learned a lot! I’m glad your feet don’t smell lol
I am having surgery on my neck next week. I am scared. What scares me is being put under and not waking up.
I’m 62, evidently they got the nausea from me. Heh.
Hello
Are the elderly GenZ or GenX
Usually they are Boomers or the great generation
Btw what about Gen.X
? I discussed the particular concerns they are susceptible to
@@MedicalSecrets see I was worried because the last time I was under anesthesia I didn’t wake up as well as I did the last time
These people have Intral pumps require more anesthesia
You’re so funny. If your heart rate goes any lower you’ll flatline. An athlete doesn’t make a good demo 😅
Lol! 🤣
