tracheoplasty = plastic surgery on the trachea

Around this time there are three tracheoplasty patients in our units. The privilege of this particular surgery is that this surgery re-instate those patient's talking ability.
One of those patient is Mr... who was a clerk before he met an accident and had to undergo a trachiostomy surgery. He is only 25 years and imagine what miserable his life could have been with an artificial airway to breath and a mouth which produce no sound at all. As far as I am concerned he is the lukiest among those three. Yes, others are also benefited. But they were suffering from cancers and over 50 years of age.

WHY THE MOTHER NATURE TAKES EVERYTHING FROM ONE AND GIVES EVERYTHING TO ANOTHER?

Last week a patient admitted to our unit. He was 65 years old. Though he had to work for his life. He wife was dead. His two children had abandoned him. To double his misery he recently developed a tongue CA.
He was admitted for an Oesophagoscopy. It too went wrong and his oesophagos got ruptured. Now he is with not one but two I.C. bottles. He is suffering to the fullest and everything doing behalf of him seems like going wasted.
Every time I see him this question comes into my mind.

WHY THE MOTHER NATURE TAKES EVERYTHING FROM ONE AND GIVES EVERYTHING TO ANOTHER? Is this justice enough?

Have u felt this too?

 I work in an a E.N.T unit as a nurse. It is not a heavy unit. Only 55 beds are available. (I don't know about your countries but in my country it is considered as a light unit. There are only 15 nurses working in our unit. As most of them are seniors I sometime feels I am too small. I am not complaining that those more experienced and matured colleges of mine are are bulling me. Event hough they help me, the feeling sometimes make me uneasy. I wish to have some more juniors or colleges from my own batch.

I am back!

I am back for my next vacation. During my work days I had a lot to do with sleep studies. So I decided to give u guys some ideas of what was it all about. 

Sleep studies allow  to measure how much and how well you sleep. They also help show whether you have sleep problems and how severe they are.

Sleep studies are important because untreated sleep disorders can increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and other medical conditions. People usually aren't aware of their breathing and movements while sleeping. They may never think to talk to their doctors about sleep- and health-related issues that may be linked to sleep problems.

Doctors can diagnose and treat sleep disorders. Talk to your doctor if you feel tired or very sleepy while at work or school most days of the week. You also may want to talk to your doctor if you often have trouble falling or staying asleep, or if you wake up too early and aren't able to get back to sleep. These are common signs of a sleep disorder.

Doctors can diagnose some sleep disorders by asking questions about your sleep schedule and habits and by getting information from sleep partners or parents. To diagnose other sleep disorders, doctors also use the results from sleep studies and other medical tests.

Sleep studies can help doctors diagnose:
Sleep-related breathing disorders (such as sleep apnea)
Sleep-related seizure disorders
Parasomnias (such as sleepwalking)
Narcolepsy
Insomnia
Circadian (ser-KA-de-an) rhythm disorders.

Well I guess that  u guys have at least a small idea about "Sleep studies". I was the one who did all the moniterings. This process was quite long. Listning to someone's snoring sound wasn't the best thing in the world for sure....
