Cataract surgery, spirit

From our seats on the lounge couch. Great karma.

Pain is unavoidable. Learn to anticipate, treat, and grow from pain.

Valium is part of the pre-op.

Valium takes the place of anesthesia.

Numbing eye drops preceded the Valium.

Grateful that each employee had a narrative describing what they were doing, before and during the thing they were doing.

Perfect example of providing the patient what they want versus what they need.

Patients need safety protocols, and appropriate medications and preparation.

What every patient wishes for, or wants, is never having to wonder what’s gonna happen next.

Bonus note of gratitude: Was asked before the doctor came in to start if i wanted more Valium. Feeling a little too ‘present’, i said a little more would be helpful. They gave me half a dose under my tongue. Which seemed to be perfect in hindsight.
