12 years ago, I had to undergo spine surgery at Metropolitan Hospital due to a severe back injury. That time was not easy for me as I was in constant distress and discomfort. However, today, 12 years post-surgery, I am feeling better than ever before.
Here’s my story:.
The Injury
It was a regular Sunday morning when I was carrying out my DIY project in the garden. I lifted up a huge pot full of soil, and in the blink of an eye, my back gave out. I was on the ground, not able to move, and in excruciating pain.
My wife called an ambulance right away, and I was rushed to the nearest hospital, which was Metropolitan Hospital.
Pre-Surgery Days
Due to the intensity of the pain, I was admitted to the hospital directly from the emergency ward. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc and advised to undergo spine surgery as soon as possible.
I was in a dilemma because I was anxious to be operated on, but the agony made me realize that I had no alternative.
The medical team at Metropolitan Hospital was accommodating and considerate. They explained to me the surgery procedure and the potential risks involved in detail.
They assured me that the procedure would be performed by an expert team that has years of experience in spine surgeries.
The Surgery
Finally, the day of the operation arrived. I was terrified, yet the medical team uplifted my morale with their positive vibes. They made me feel at ease by explaining to me each step of the process before proceeding.
After the surgery, I was moved to the Recovery Room. Fortunately, there were no complications, and I was back in my bed by the end of the day.
Post-Surgery Days
The first few days post-surgery were challenging as the painkillers made me drowsy, and I was unable to move much. However, gradually, I started getting better, and the physiotherapy helped to get me back on my feet.
A week after the surgery, I was discharged from Metropolitan Hospital.
After coming home, I was constantly monitored by the physicians at Metropolitan Hospital. They advised me what exercises to perform to recover faster and effectively.
They were always available to answer my queries and helped me deal with my pain and anxiety.
12 Years Post-Surgery
Today, 12 years post-surgery, I am glad that I chose Metropolitan Hospital for my spine surgery. The facility is well-equipped, and the medical team is kind, compassionate, and proficient.
The surgery was a great success, and the post-operative care and physiotherapy were remarkable. Today, I am back to living life with a near-normal range of motion, as prior to the surgery.
The experience at Metropolitan Hospital changed my perception of healthcare facilities. I learned that choosing a reputable hospital and proficient medical team plays a vital role in a patient’s quick and effective recovery.
I would advise everyone to prioritize their health, and not to second guess their choice of hospital and physicians if they ever require surgery.
Conclusion
Metropolitan Hospital is a facility that provided me with exceptional medical care and services. The medical team there is proficient and provided me with care and treatment beyond compare.
I have made a complete recovery, and I am living the life that I love. I would like to extend my gratitude towards the entire team at Metropolitan Hospital for making my journey, including the stressful times, a comfortable and comforting one.
