Full transcript
Mr Rao, your father was brought into Liverpool Hospital after a fall at home, and the scan shows swelling on the right side of his brain.
అయ్యో డాక్టర్, ఇది చాలా ప్రమాదకరంగా ఉందా? ఆయనకు ఇప్పుడు స్పృహ ఉందా, మాట్లాడగలుగుతున్నారా?
His Glasgow Coma Score is currently eight, and we need to monitor him closely in ICU over the next 24 hours to check the swelling.
డాక్టర్, ఆపరేషన్ చేయాల్సిన అవసరం వస్తుందా? ఒకవేళ చేయకపోతే ఏమవుతుంది?
A neurosurgeon is monitoring the pressure inside his skull. If it doesn't settle down soon, they may need to operate tonight to relieve it.
ఆయన పూర్తిగా కోలుకుంటారా డాక్టర్? రికవరీకి ఎంత సమయం పట్టవచ్చు?
Recovery varies a lot with brain injuries. Some patients improve within weeks, others need months of rehabilitation, and we won't know more until the swelling reduces.
నేను ఇప్పుడు ఏవైనా సమ్మతి పత్రాలపై సంతకం చేయాలా డాక్టర్?
Yes, we'll need consent for any surgery. As his next of kin, you can sign the forms, but we won't proceed without your agreement first.
అవును డాక్టర్, నేనే ఆయన పెద్ద కొడుకుని, సంతకం చేయడానికి సిద్ధంగా ఉన్నాను. నేను ఆయనను ఎప్పుడు, ఎన్నిసార్లు చూడగలను?
Visiting hours in ICU are limited to two visitors at a time, twice daily. You're welcome to wait in the family room between visits.
అర్థమైంది డాక్టర్, చాలా ధన్యవాదాలు. నేను వెయిటింగ్ రూమ్లో ఉంటాను, ఏదైనా వార్త ఉంటే వెంటనే తెలియజేయండి.
