Full transcript
Mr Demir's CT scan shows a mild traumatic brain injury from his fall at Nepean Hospital's car park on Thursday, and thankfully there's no bleeding.
Doktor Hanım, bu durum ne kadar ciddi? Babam şu anda konuşurken kafası karışmış gibi geliyor, bu normal mi?
Some confusion is common with a concussion and usually settles within a day. We'll monitor him closely for twenty-four hours before considering discharge.
Peki gece boyunca nelere dikkat etmem gerekiyor? Bir şey fark edersem ne yapmalıyım?
Watch for severe headache, repeated vomiting, worsening confusion, or unequal pupil size. If any of these occur, bring him back immediately, day or night.
Anladım. Peki gece rahatça uyumasına izin verebilir miyim, yoksa onu sürekli uyanık tutmam mı gerekiyor?
He can sleep, but please wake him every two to three hours overnight to check his responses. He needs rest for at least forty-eight hours.
Peki işine ne zaman dönebilir? Araba kullanmasında bir sakınca var mı?
He shouldn't drive for at least two weeks, and no heavy lifting or manual work until his GP clears him. Please don't rush his recovery.
Bu süre içinde ağrı kesici alabilir mi, yoksa alkolden tamamen uzak durması mı gerekiyor?
Paracetamol is fine for pain, but avoid aspirin or ibuprofen, since they increase bleeding risk. He mustn't drink alcohol until fully recovered.
Anladım, çok teşekkür ederim doktor hanım. Söylediğiniz her şeye uyacağım, herhangi bir belirti görürsem hemen onu hastaneye geri getireceğim.
