Full transcript
Mrs Petrović, the CT scan shows a moderate brain bleed with some swelling around the right frontal lobe. We need to monitor him closely over the next few days.
Da li je to opasno? Hoće li se potpuno oporaviti, ili postoji rizik da ostanu trajne posledice?
There is some risk of lasting effects, such as memory problems, but many patients improve significantly with time and rehabilitation. We won't know the full picture for a few days.
Razumem. A koliko dugo on mora da ostane u bolnici pre nego što ga otpuste kući?
Based on his current condition, he'll likely remain in hospital for at least five to seven days, provided the next scan shows no further bleeding.
Dobro, hvala što ste mi to jasno rekli. Da li će mu posle toga trebati fizikalna terapija ili neka posebna rehabilitacija?
Yes, once he's stable, a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist will assess him. Many patients also need speech therapy if language is affected.
Kada bi mogao da se vrati na posao? On radi kao vozač kamiona, i brine me njegovo pamćenje.
He shouldn't drive or return to work until cleared by our neurologist, usually at least six weeks, especially given his job involves driving.
Šta treba da uradimo kada ga otpuste? Da li ćemo dobiti neki izveštaj i termin za kontrolu?
Before discharge, you'll collect a discharge summary listing his medications and instructions. We'll also book a follow-up appointment at Liverpool Hospital's neurology clinic within four weeks.
Hvala vam puno, doktore. Bar sada znamo šta da očekujemo i koliko dugo treba da ostane u bolnici.
