Being in hospital taught me to slow down, and appreciate each day

Being admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit for the first time at the age of 55 was certainly a learning experience.In some ways it was like a bizarre episode of the TV quiz show Countdown, where an unfamiliar set of letters are given to you (PTSD, OCD, BPD) but you can’t make any sense of them, and a series of numbers are given to you (with “mg” tacked on at the end) but they don’t seem to add up to anything you understand.“For the first time I gained a real appreciation for the skill and care of nurses, student nurses and healthcare assistants.”I heard multisyllabic words that sounded like gobbledygook and then realised not only were these the drugs I was taking, I needed to remember which ones I was taking, when I was taking them, and at which doses.For the first time, I understood the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist. I gained a real appreciation for the skill and care of nurses, student nurses and healthcare assistants in our local NHS hospital.

A Day in My Life as a Doctor for 'Miracle Babies' in the Neonatal Hospital Unit

Today is a typical working day in the tertiary level neonatal unit where I look after all sorts of “miracle babies.” Some premature babies weigh just 485 grams. That’s correct: a birth weight of half a kilogram! Some are ventilated long-term, and some struggle hard to keep their heart beating — holding onto life through the multiple tubes and wires attached to them. Some babies come for a day or two and happily go home, but others stay for months.

We Need to Talk About the Gaps in Psychiatric Hospital Care

When one thinks of psych wards in America, they often picture the horror stories shown in movies and television. They think of scary, violent, out-of-their-mind people being bound up, locked up, and forcibly medicated against their will. That’s the picture I had in mind throughout my life, even after graduating college with a degree in counseling. Even though those were the images in my head, I thought for sure those stereotypes couldn’t be accurate in this day and age.

When my son got his unrelated cord blood transplant, I lived in the hospital with him for two long months.

How to Tell If You Should Take Your Child to the Mental Health Hospital

For anyone who has faced a mental health condition, one of the scariest parts can be going to a hospital for emergency care. If you’re a parent, the thought of having to take your child can be even more terrifying. You want to make sure your child gets the care they need, but it’s hard to know what to do and when, especially because, there is no quick fix or treatment. You can’t put a cast on depression or stitch up suicidal thoughts. And I would know. I have lived with mental illness most of my life. I was diagnosed when I was 15 years old.

When I Feel Like the Most Hated Patient in the Hospital

When most people go to the ER, it’s for one of a few common reasons — such as a baby, car accident, heart attack, stroke, or overdose. If they’re lucky, it’s their only visit to the ER in their entire lives. These people are generally very nervous, panicked and searching for answers with the quickest, cheapest, positive treatment plan possible. They tend to look to the doctors and nurses to help them understand why they got in the situation to begin with, and tell them what they should be doing to recover.

Hospital and other related Phobias

The beginning of a phobia usually follows periods of stress and often starts after a final trauma. “The last straw, which breaks the camel’s back” or after a first panic attack which appears to come out of the blue. In the early stages of a phobia, sufferers feel frightened when in a particular place or situation, without knowing exactly why. Whenever they go into the particular place or situation they experience an overwhelming feeling of impending disaster and feel a compulsive urge to escape from it. Sufferers do not know why they are afraid but the feelings of fear that they experience are very real.
