NEW SCREENING FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND VIRUSES
Shouldice Hospital is now gathering information pertaining to infectious diseases or viruses from all patients applying for surgery or attending for examination. We are also implementing precautionary methods aimed at preventing the spread of these conditions within our hospital, which currently and historically enjoys one of the lowest infections rates of any hospital in the world. Conditions currently screened for include: MRSA, ( community condition often associated with retirement homes and hospitals), H1N1 Swine Flu ( a virus associated with pigs and recently associated with Mexico), and various AROs ( Antibiotic Resistant Organisms).
Patients will be asked upon attending at Shouldice Hospital to complete a short questionnaire prior to admission or examination. Distant patients, booking surgery remotely by medical questionnaire, will answer the same questions on a provided form and submit this with their medical questionnaire.
Shouldice Hospital has recently completed it's DVD "Understanding Hernias". The 18 minute DVD features graphic computer animation showing the anatomy of 6 common types of external abdominal wall hernias:
- Indirect Inguinal
- Direct Inguinal
- Femoral
- Incisional
- Epigastric
- Umbilical
- What are hernias?
- How do they happen?
- What are the dangers?
- What can you do about them?
Look at our abdominal wall hernia page to view an animated version of what various types of abdominal hernia's can look like. This page if for information only, and should not be used for diagnostic purposes.
Copies of the DVD will be made available to Libraries around the world.
