I don't think i would like to get into all the political discussions about outpatient surgical centers that are popping up all over the place, but this one is really nice! Brand new, no big administration, things are done efficiently, and I think it is really nice for patients.
I had a couple of shoulder scopes today. First, was a healthy construction guy, he fell off the ladder, hurt his shoulder. I did a brachial plexus block (put some numbing medicine around the bundle of nerves that supply the shoulder), he did great - no narcotics, no hangover, no nausea, he left the center 40 min. after the end of his surgery. Makes you feel good!. I hope his block will last for 15 or maybe 18 hours.
The second patient was an older lady with arthritic shoulder problems. The same block for her. She did stay a little longer, but overall was very happy - she had complained prior to surgery that she always has problems with nausea after all her surgeries. Yepp..but not today! Nice short day for a change. Going for a run!
