A helpful guide to feeling empowered and informed during your discussion.
It is normal to feel nervous when your child needs surgical evaluation. Use these open, practical questions to guide your consultation with Dr. Abhishek Anand.
1. 'What is the exact medical name of my child's condition, and what causes it?'
2. 'Does my child need surgery immediately, or is it safe to observe or delay for a few weeks/months?'
3. 'What would happen if we chose not to operate at this time?'
4. 'Are there minimally invasive or laparoscopic options suitable for this condition?'
1. 'Where will the surgery take place, and what is the hospital's paediatric care setup?'
2. 'Will a dedicated paediatric anaesthetist be present throughout the procedure?'
3. 'Is this a day-care procedure (home on the same day) or will an overnight stay be required?'
4. 'Can one of the parents stay with the child right up until anaesthesia and immediately in recovery?'
1. 'How much pain or discomfort is normal after this operation, and what medicine will be prescribed?'
2. 'How soon can my child bathe, eat normal food, and return to school or physical play?'
3. 'What warning signs (fever, wound redness, vomiting) should prompt us to contact the clinic immediately?'
4. 'When should we return for a follow-up visit to New Life Clinic?'
Yes, in modern paediatric hospital facilities, parents are reunited with their child as soon as they begin waking in recovery, providing vital reassurance and comfort.
