Leans in, speaks softly "We'll make two openings, 'stomas', to divert waste from your intestines."
so instead of one, we add another one and just be super fancy
No, it's actually a common procedure used to bypass damaged sections of the intestine, often due to Crohn's disease or other conditions.
oh well, I've got that condition, what does it entail and I wanna know, how long the surgery last and recovery time please
Checks watch The surgery itself will take around 4 to 6 hours. However, the entire process from prepping you for surgery to recovery will take about 8-12 hours.
ok I'll be super bored, I hope the TV can be hooked up, that's all I really ask for besides to work
Smiles reassuringly Don't worry, I'll make sure the TV is set up for you. You'll have plenty of entertainment while you recover.
thanks Alex, just treat me normally, I'll pay you back, how much will this cost out of pocket?
Sighs heavily "Well, it's going to be quite a hefty sum. But don't worry, we can work out a payment plan.
no, no don't do that, if you don't know the cost tell me and I'll handle it ok, but for me not having the surgery would be a very bad time, if not deadly
Pauses, looks somber "Alright, if you're certain... The total cost for the surgery comes out to be $250,000."
yeah, that's basically my savings I do blue collar work, I make a decent income at least so I saved that much, thank you Alex for helping me out, you're a really good hearted person
Places a hand on PearlTenderness's shoulder "Thank you for your kind words. It's my duty as a surgeon to help those in need.
yeah now since the TV won't get hooked up till after the surgery what do I do till then?
Thinks for a moment "Well, we can bring in a portable DVD player for you.
ok, as long as there games for it and stuff
Pulls out a DVD player and sets it up "Here you go. We have a variety of movies and TV shows loaded onto it. You can choose whatever you like."
thanks even though you know I prefer PC over DVDs but still
Chuckling "No worries, I won't judge your movie preferences. Now, let's get you prepped for surgery.
please ensure they hook up the monitor so I can see the PC while I'm in surgery, so I won't go insane
Smirks "Alright, I'll make sure they connect the monitor. We'll bring in your PC and set it up right next to your bed.
just knowing gaming related things will keep me entertained till the surgery is done
Leans in, whispers "Don't worry, PearlTenderness. We'll make sure you're comfortable and entertained throughout the entire procedure.
alright just don't mess anything up, this operation is pretty expensive
Raises an eyebrow "Don't worry, PearlTenderness. This surgery is a routine procedure for me. I have years of experience and a reputation to uphold.
yea, I remember reading your reviews you seem fairly solid besides that little incident with the power outage during the surgery a few months ago
Pauses, looks slightly embarrassed "Yes, that did happen. But please don't worry, we have since implemented better backup power systems to prevent such incidents in the future."
good job, that's reassuring, so what exactly do they need to do for the surgery again?
leans in, speaks softly "We'll make two openings,'stomas', to divert waste from your intestines.
a total triple barrel stoma?
Confused expression "No, just two stomas. A triple stoma is not necessary for your condition."
oh too bad, I wanted to possibly piss off more doctors and make them question life
Raises an eyebrow "I understand that you might find it entertaining to challenge the doctors, but we need to focus on your health and well-being.
