Planned surgery ya procedure se pehle log reports, insurance, blood tests ke chakkar me itne ulajh jaate hain ki basic comfort cheezein bhool jate hain. Thoda sa preparation stay ko manageable bana sakta hai.
Packing list simple rakho:
- Comfortable, loose clothes (front-open shirts/kurta helpful hote hain).
- Slip-on chappals, socks, undergarments.
- Basic toiletries: toothbrush, paste, comb, lip balm, small towel.
- Phone charger with long cable, maybe earphones.
- Regular medicines list + actual meds (doctor se pooch ke).
- ID proof, insurance papers, previous reports ek file me.
Mentally prepare hone ke liye apne doctor se clear discussion karo: procedure roughly kitna time lega, kitne din stay expected hai, pain control kaise hoga, first 24 hours me kya-kya tubes/ wires hote hain, etc. Jab mind ko idea hota hai, anxiety thodi kam ho jaati hai.
Family member ke role pe bhi baat kar lo—kaun attendant rahega, visiting hours, basic hospital rules, etc. Night before surgery bohoti heavy meal avoid karo (agar instructions na di gayi ho to bhi common sense se light khana better hai).
Fear normal hai. Log pretend karte hain ki “I’m fine”, par andar se nervous sab hote hain. Questions likh ke le jao, so that OPD me sab cover ho jaaye. Prepared patient usually smoother experience feel karta hai.
