Carol Perkins: The Oxygen Line Previous Column: Party Crashers By Carol Perkins I took my mother for an echocardiogram last week at TJ. Only recently has she needed oxygen day and night. She had never used her portable oxygen outside the house so I wasn't sure how to turn it on, but she knew. Or thought she did. We sat in the driveway, waiting for it to kick in after turning a lever, only to discover it wasn't turned on. I drove to the Pavilion, got a wheelchair, helped her in it, and placed her tank on the side equipped for oxygen. She waited inside while I parked the car. While wheeling her, I kept running over her oxygen line. I also noticed when I started toward the elevator that one of the wheels was sitting on the line. Not a good thing. Once she was called back to the exam room, I asked the nurse to check the tank to see if she had much oxygen because my mother used it recently during a storm.

Office closure due to surgery By Roger D. Smith, DMD Last Thursday I had an examination with a retina specialist and he immediately scheduled me for surgery on Monday. Although I knew I had a problem I was not prepared for the need to have surgery so soon. This put a strain on notifying my scheduled patients and if anyone was missed please accept my apologies. The surgery went well and my surgeon is hopeful that I can be back in the office by September 19. Be assured that Donna and Becky have the patient list and each patient will be called and rescheduled as soon as I am cleared to return to work. 2023-08-31 07:55:57 | Comments | Printable version
