M'zaka za m'ma 1990, mapulani ambiri a inshuwalansi adayamba kuchepetsa kusamalidwa ndi matenda odwala matenda osachiritsika omwe akudwala matendawa. Iwo adachepetsa inshuwalansi kuti azikhala m'chipatala kwa maola makumi awiri ndi awiri pambuyo pa opaleshoni yayikuluyi, ndipo adalemba njira izi monga odwala. Zisanachitike izi, dokotala wa mayi nthawi zambiri amadziŵa momwe angasamalirire kuchipatala asanabwerere kwawo.
Kugawidwa kwa madokotala opaleshoni ambiri monga njira zakuchipatala zinawapangitsa kukhala mutu wa Dala-kupyolera mu zovuta.
Nchiyani cholakwika ndi lingaliro lakuti mkazi akhoza kubwerera kwawo atasonyeza kuti wapulumutsidwa kwathunthu kuchokera kumayamaliro ngati ali ndi wina woti amutengere kunyumba kwake? Ndizoopsa! Zingakhale zopulumutsa ndalama poyamba koma osati mochedwa.
Kodi chingachitike n'chiyani? Pali ngozi ya matenda ndi kutuluka kwa magazi ndi kukhala groggy ndi kusokonezeka ndi anesthesia.Kodi kawirikawiri ndikofunikira kupereka mankhwala amphamvu mwakachetechete pofuna kupumula kupweteka. Ngati mkazi amangomanganso nthawi yomweyo atachotsa mawere ake, izi zikhoza kuwonjezera maola ambiri ku opaleshoni yake.
Mzimayi amafunika nthawi kuphunzira momwe angasamalire mitsempha yotsegula yomwe imanyamula madzi kuchokera kumalo ake a bala kapena masiku opitilira opaleshoni yake. Amafunikanso masiku angapo kuti asinthe zomwe zamuchitikira, osati mthupi, koma m'maganizo.
Mkazi aliyense amafunikira mwayi wokhala m'chipatala kwa masiku osachepera awiri, ndipo patapita nthawi ngati pali mavuto.
Sindinakhalenso ndi chida cha khansa yanga yachiwiri yoyambirira ya m'mawere; Ndinapita ku opaleshoni pa 8:30 AM chifukwa cha bi-lateral mastectomy, ndipo ndinadzuka pa 3 PM. Ndikadandaula, ndikudumpha morphine, ndikulephera kudzuka ndikugwiritsira ntchito chipinda, sindingathe kulingalira momwe zingakhalire zovuta kuti ndipite kunyumba maola angapo chitachitika opaleshoni.
Pambuyo pa masiku awiri achirendo, ndinatha kupita kunyumba ndikukhulupirira kuti ndimadziwa momwe ndingasamalire ndekha.
Ndimakumbukira bwino zomwe ndinakumana nazo nditatsata zaka zanga zapitazo. Ndinafika kukachita opaleshoni nthawi ya 7:30 AM. Ananditengera ku chipinda chochita opita 1PM. Momwemo nthawi imeneyo inali njira yoyamba yomwe inayambira ndi chidziwitso cha zomwe zinachotsedwa pa chifuwa changa pamene ndinali akadali pansi pa anesthesia. Kenaka, malinga ndi zomwe anapezazo, dokotala wanga ankachita lumpectomy kapena mastectomy. Ine ndinadzuka mu chipinda chochezera pambuyo pa 4MM kuti ndiphunzire, kwa nthawi yoyamba, kuti ine ndinali ndi khansa ya m'mawere, ndipo dotolo wanga anali atachita lumpectomy.
Ndondomekoyi itatenga nthawi yaitali kuposa momwe ndinkayembekezera ndipo ndinali groggy ndipo ndinkangokhalira kudandaula kwambiri chifukwa chokhala pansi. Pa 8PM, ndinali akadakali kunja kuti ndiyende ndekha. Kotero ine ndinapempha ngati ine ndingagone usiku wonse ndi kuchoka mmawa. Ndinauzidwa kuti sikungatheke popanda chilolezo cholembedwa ndi wothandizira inshuwalansi, ndipo sindinachedwe kukonza zomwe zinaperekedwa nthawiyo.
Kunali kozizira kwambiri, ndi chisanu kwambiri. Mwana wanga ankandinyamula kupita nane ku galimoto yake ndikupita kunyumba kwanga, akanditengera kunyumba. Pamafunika kukhala malire pa malire a maola 24 pa zochitika zapadera, ngakhale pazinthu zenizeni.
Kupyolera mu zoyesayesa za kulengeza za magulu othandizira khansa ya m'mawere ndi akuluakulu osankhidwa, maboma oposa 20 apereka lamulo lomwe limafuna makampani a inshuwalansi kuti apeze chipatala cha masiku awiri komanso nthawi yayitali kwa opaleshoni yovuta kwambiri.
Tsoka ilo, "Drive-through Mastectomies" akadali yofala kwambiri ku theka la mayiko ku US
Akuluakulu akusankhidwa ndi malamulo kuti asiye zomwe zasintha. Nyumba ya Oyimilira yavomereza lamulo lomwe lidzathetsa "kuyendetsa galimoto" mwazochitika.
"Chigwirizano cha matenda a khansa ya m'mimba" (HR 135), chikhoza kukhala chovomerezeka pazinthu zopangira inshuwalansi kupereka maola oposa 48 a chipatala osamalidwa kuchipatala pambuyo pochita opaleshoni.
Kumeneku kudzakhalanso ndi maola 24 odwala omwe ali ndi matenda odwala matenda odwala matenda opatsirana pogonana.
Lamulo limeneli limalola kuti anthu omwe ali ndi matenda ochepa omwe ali ndi nthawi yayitali ngati mayi ndi dokotala wake akumva kuti ndi bwino. Makampani a inshuwalansi adzayenera kulipira kwa nthawi yaitali kuposa maola 48 ngati dokotala akuwona kuti ndi kofunikira.
Kuti mudziwe ngati dziko lanu lili ndi ndondomeko yothandizira "Chifuwa cha Khansa ya M'thupi".
