HRCT

anyway, just updated my DNS lol..
went to SGH ( sarawak General Hospital) to meet up Dr. Santhosh, radiologist in SGH after being referred by Dr. Thung, Cardiothoracic surgeon.. so i will be doing a HRCT ( High Resonance Computed Tomography) Scan on 3.2.2009..

He said we cannot do VATS without finding the culprit.. VATS is higher risk so they cannot simply do.. as he said.. so we’ll see after my CNY break.. lol

Cardio Thoracic Surgeon

I went to meet up Dr Thaik, cardio thoracic surgeon in my faculty.. he took my x ray and said will do a CT scan to see whether the need to do VATS.. good news is.. No prob with taking plane.. :)

ah, no risk factor, no prevention, no other treatment except chest tube n VATS..

so.. just wait for my next CT scan..

not a big prob but kinda irritating prob..
