Quote from: James on March 04, 2018, 06:49:33 AMMy first post. I am having surgery with Dr. Quynh within the coming months. I went there to check out everything about a year ago. I was already OK with their old hospital. Having changed the hospital to a new one, I like to believe it will not be anything less than the old one. I was privileged enough to get to talk to the many patients they had at that time, as a result I got to see their patients with different progress stages. A majority of them were doing OK, some of them were already walking like every other everyday person you would see in the street, some of them were there for IM nails removal, some of them were still on crutches and of course with some of them were developing different levels of Equinus which should be an inevitable short-term complication of limb lengthening and can be dealt with. The only thing I'm concerned with is the temperature because I'm so used to colder weather. It was so damn hot and humid when I visited and honestly I couldn't see myself doing this whole thing soaked in sweat all day and all night long..but if the result is good, so be it. fk it and I will stand the weather. I learned the institute got revamped not long ago and allegedly they have better facilities now. Can someone verify this ? Sorry for the rambling. Hopefully I will have a pleasant stay there.
Hey, each room has air conditioning so you don't have to worry about the temperature very much. I never really went outside, except for short trips to get an x-ray. Some patients like to have open windows and enjoy the breeze. Being from the snowy north, I appreciate a constant, cold, artificial wind on me from the A/C. I'll start leaving the building more frequently in the upcoming weeks once my frames are off.
I also visited here when they were still using the old hospital and was still willing to do the surgery back then. The new hospital is even better, so it was a pleasant surprise for me when I came here for the surgery. Additionally, it makes it much more convenient for x-rays because it is so near to the Institute.
