Atlantis Expedition: Science Division Departments - Medical Department

Continuing from my starting post here, I'm now breaking things down by department, beginning with the Medical Department.

I did end up heavily revising this department after the commentary on the general departments post, and also after a lot of looking up of the actual divisions of medical specialties. So, first, the (new) numbers:

> Head: Carson Beckett (later, Jennifer Keller, later, whomever) > Contains: Surgery, psychiatry, physical therapy > Function: Maintaining health of expedition members > Examples of function: surgeries, medical prescriptions, recuperation from injuries, mental stability > Personnel quantity: 1 (Head) + 10 (surgical team) + 5 10 (nurses non-surgical team) + 1 (psych) + 1 (phys. therapy) + 1 (anesthesiologist) (grouped under non-surgical team) = 19 23 total > A/N: Nurses have training in medications and physical therapy, surgical team also doubles as general practitioners

Information carried over from the first post, with struck text indicating revisions. The new total is 23, and the author's note is now irrelevant in light of new information. Mostly.

After doubling the amount of nurses, realizing "nurse" is a very broad category of medical professional with multiple definitions and aspects of job duties in multiple countries, I did a bit of renaming of the teams within this department: surgical, non-surgical, and miscellaneous (sorry guys).

Something I had realized was that this was not going to be a typical medical department (duh, in hindsight). These people are all going through the SGC, and the SGC quite likely not already has their own training protocols in place for dealing with SGC-specific situations, but also adapted technology from Goa'uld tech. What is Goa'uld tech? Appropriated Ancient tech, but without the gene component - fascinating, but also a post for another time.

This did inform how I revised which personnel to include, their specialties, and their duties. You're not exactly going to be shoving a whole MRI machine through a gate, so a radiologist isn't going to be a necessary specialty. Because of this, there's going to be a lot more cross-training, and more of a focus that's similar to what Atlantis would actually operate as: a forward operating base.

So, on to the teams (commentary included).

Surgical Team

> Personnel quantity: 10 > Minimum education: Doctorate in Surgery (ChM) > All of these people are already trained in basic medical knowledge and practices, and also overall surgical practices in different areas of the body

Specialties

> Neurosurgery > Dentistry | Oral and maxillofacial surgery » In the US, trained to do general anesthesia and deep sedation > Orthopedics » Musculoskeletal > Trauma surgery » Can contain combat surgeons » 2x of these > OBGYN > Urology > Cardiothoracic » 2x of these, by speciality: ⇛ Cardiovascular surgeon ⟹ "involving the heart and the great vessels" ⇛ Thoracic surgeon ⟹ involving the lungs, esophagus, thymus, etc. > Surgical technologist » "In the military they perform the duties of both the circulator and the scrub." » Creates and maintains a sterile surgical environment » Anticipates the work a surgeon needs to do » Walking compendium of surgical techniques and stitches

I had wavered a bit on qualifications, and thus who to include - at the end of the day, it was probably going to be on an American standard, given the physical location of SGC. This meant I got to do a nifty thing of having my oral/maxillofacial surgeon be the dentist that's also an anesthesiologist, even if this is apparently considered odd in many other countries.

Mostly I wanted to go by section of the body, and see what kind of specialties there were, and what did and did not overlap. Surprisingly, it was more difficult to figure out who did abdominal surgeries than it was neurosurgery or dental surgery, hence two people in cardiothoracic surgery and two "general" surgeons in the form of trauma surgery because, again, forward operating base - they have no idea what Atlantis will be, so some assumptions will need to be made and better to err on the side of caution.

In a more delicate but still very necessary subject, one OBGYN (obstetrics and gynecology) and one urologist (aka urinary system and male reproductive system). For various obvious reasons, everyone's health in this area still needs to be taken care of, so it's better to have them on the team than politely handwave the idea.

Neurosurgery, for an obvious reason - it's highly specialized and without significant overlap, while also being a critical function on a surgical team with the demands the Atlantis Expedition will likely face.

Orthopedics are musculoskeletal, or deals with muscles and the skeletal system. A fair amount of what they do has overlap (see: trauma surgeons), but having someone specialized for the particularities of setting bones and handling surgeries on things like the joints is incredibly useful when presuming setting up camp in an active combat zone (which they really, really did).

Trauma surgeons are, more or less, the ones that you would see in an emergency situation - acute situations and their injuries are their specialty, and for this expedition likely the head of the surgical team by dint of their training to assess a patient quickly and develop a care plan very quickly. Because of this, I found the overlap of combat surgeons immensely helpful, which means that there's a significant probability that this surgical team has military personnel assigned to it. These surgeons are also the ones most likely to be SGC-imported, and trained to deal with things like injuries from Goa'uld and Goa'uld devices.

All these very highly-trained people, who are all probably very, very smart - who supports them? As it turns out, at least in the operating theater, not the nurses, but surgical technologists.

Surgical technologists main job, at least here, would be to set up the operating theater and anticipate whatever it is a surgeon needs in assistance. This includes things like training on a wide variety of surgical techniques (i.e. stitches), disinfection procedures, and medications such as anesthesia (ish). I included the quote about military duties because it saves money on how many people to include in the expedition, and penny-pinching is the backbone of any hiring process.

Now, the surgical team is all done! That's ten people right there, and on to the non-surgical team.

Non-Surgical Team

> Personnel quantity: 10 » 5 Technicians/Nurses, 5 Non-Surgical Medical Specialists

Nurses

> (Advanced Practice) Nurses » 5x of these » Registered Nurse ⇛ As the general minimum educational and experimental requirement » Perioperative nursing ⇛ Assists surgical team, helps with pre- and post-surgical patients » Emergency nursing ⇛ Can do triaging, suturing, casting/splinting, local/regional anesthesia, and other doctoral skills as needed ⇛ Likely the SGC training model incorporates all of the above, and also training on medical technology adapted from Goa'uld healing technology (which is really Ancient but without the ATA gene lock) ⟹ Radiology tech ⟹ MRI tech (which is radiology but a bit to the left) ⟹ Other adapted diagnostic equipment

Non-Surgical Medical Specialists

> Pathology » 2x of these » Coordinates with Life Science Department to develop diagnoses for novel diseases (in the Pegasus galaxy) > Internal medicine | Internists » 2x of these > Anesthesiology » For everything the OMS people don't do in terms of anesthesiology » See also: Anesthesia (topic)

Remember how I said the qualifications were a doozy, and that nurses were a broad category? ... Yeah, this is why. The medical field is probably current in flux right now, given the shifting priorities of medical personnel and so much research that is still in the process of being applied, but I waved my magic plot-fixing wand and assumed the SGC figured this out for me.

All of these nurses are likely to be SGC imports, and thus unbelievably well-trained in everything that the SGC needs them to do. These are the personnel who know how all of the Goa'uld tech works on a functional level, have gotten the goodies first from engineering, and are waving their handheld MRI and other diagnostic equipment over their patients like a fairy godmother in scrubs. As with a real world hospital, these are the people actually running the show, and likely making the surgical team look like hypercompetent show poodles.

As for non-nurses who are also non-surgeons, pathologists are the ones who work up what people will actually be diagnosed with, figuring out all the newest and shiniest diseases and cataloguing them for reference. Doctor Biro is a pathologist, for example.

The thought occurred to me that we still need something resembling a general practitioner, but in light of fancy things like handheld MRIs and other scanners, this role is much reduced in favor of people who pack a greater intellectual punch.

However, I found that internists not only fill this gap, but are also hyper-specialized in their own way, in the respect of their knowledge base being internal diseases and multi-system diseases. Ergo, two of them, because they're just that useful. They'd probably coordinate quite a bit with cardiothoracic surgeons, as those are overlapping areas of study based on region of the body.

One (1) anesthesiologist, because the OMS cannot - nor should they - be the only person to perform anesthesia. This person functions as a sanity checker, and also the thin margin of the anesthesia that the surgeon doesn't cover.

We still need to round out this department, though. So far I've managed to cover in-patient, out-patient, and the various surgical stages. What else?

Well, recuperation - patients can't actually linger in the infirmary for the entirety of their healing process, for such practical reasons as beds available and boredom of patient, so the transitional phase needs to be covered.

Hence, the highly uncreative placeholder section name of Miscellaneous:

> Psychiatrist » 1x of these, because canon says so? > Physical therapist » 1x of these, because canon says so?

Now while personnel such as nurses and internists are meant to convey educational material and instructions to patients about recuperation, it helps to actually have specialists on hand to make the patients commit to the bit.

Having only one psychiatrist on hand seems a bit of a Star Trek logical fallacy, but I'm once again waving my plot wand and assuming anyone that managed to get through the arduous employment process of 1) being told the Stargate exists (and coping with their world views being upended), 2) being employed by the SGC in general, and 3) passes their psychological assessment is probably mentally stable enough to only need one psychiatrist for the entire expedition.

(Yes, this does mean everyone on the expedition got their rubber stamp of sanity, and probably in grueling triplicate. Such as it can be defined a fanfiction-like world of scifi. I think they're coping pretty well with everything, no?)

With all the work that the surgical and non-surgical teams put into taking care of injured expedition members, a physical therapist is, as with everyone else here, very good at their job, but ultimately one of the last steps for patients that require longer term care. Think gaining back muscle after a broken leg, or more serious injuries that require months of guided exercise to be back to gate team-ready health (or general running for your life because Atlantis is just as dangerous).

Total Medical Department Personnel

Head of Department: 1

Surgical Team: 10

Non-Surgical Team: 10

Miscellaneous: 2

Total total: 23

I'll be going over headcanons on canonical personnel, such as Carson Beckett, Jennifer Keller, and Biro in their own posts, but for now this is a general accounting of the expedition's medical department.

Shout-out to @savestave and @stinalotte for the discussion and feedback on the original post!

Choosing the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Delhi/NCR: What You Need to Know

Hip replacement surgery is a life-altering procedure for individuals suffering from debilitating hip pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. This surgery has helped millions of people regain their independence and return to an active lifestyle. However, the success of a hip replacement largely depends on choosing the right surgeon and understanding the entire process—from the initial diagnosis to recovery. In this blog, we’ll explore what hip replacement surgery entails, who may need it, the different types of procedures available, and how to find the best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR.

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or worn-out parts of the hip joint with artificial components, typically made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. This procedure is most commonly performed on patients with severe arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, as well as those who have suffered significant injury to the hip joint.

The surgery aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall function of the hip joint, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

There are several types of hip replacement surgeries, each tailored to the patient’s specific condition and needs:

Total Hip Replacement (THR): In a total hip replacement, both the ball (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants. This is the most common type of hip replacement and is highly effective for patients with extensive joint damage.

Partial Hip Replacement (PHR): Also known as hemiarthroplasty, this procedure involves replacing only the ball of the hip joint. It is typically recommended for patients with a fractured femoral head but an otherwise healthy hip socket.

Hip Resurfacing: This procedure is less invasive than a total hip replacement and involves capping the femoral head with a metal prosthesis instead of removing it. Hip resurfacing is often an option for younger, more active patients with healthy bone structure.

Revision Hip Replacement: In cases where a previous hip replacement has failed or worn out over time, a revision hip replacement is performed. This involves replacing the old prosthesis with a new one.

Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is generally recommended for individuals who have:

Severe Hip Pain: Persistent hip pain that interferes with daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or sitting down, may indicate the need for surgery.

Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the hip joint, even with the help of a cane or walker, can be a sign that the joint has deteriorated to the point where surgery is necessary.

Failed Conservative Treatments: When other treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or injections, fail to provide relief, hip replacement surgery may be the next step.

Hip Deformity: Structural deformities in the hip joint that cause pain and limited function may require surgical intervention.

Hip Joint Damage: Extensive damage to the hip joint due to arthritis, injury, or avascular necrosis may necessitate a hip replacement.

Finding the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Delhi/NCR

Choosing the best hip replacement surgeon is crucial for ensuring a successful surgery and a smooth recovery. Here are some tips on how to find the right surgeon in Delhi/NCR:

Research and Referrals: Start by researching hip replacement surgeons in Delhi/NCR. Seek referrals from your primary care physician, orthopedic specialists, or friends and family who have undergone hip replacement surgery. Look for surgeons with a strong reputation for success in hip replacement procedures.

Check Credentials: Verify the surgeon’s qualifications, certifications, and experience. The best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR will have extensive experience performing hip replacements and will be board-certified in orthopedic surgery.

Consider Specialization: Some orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint replacement surgeries, including hips. It’s beneficial to choose a surgeon who has a dedicated focus on hip replacements, as they will have more expertise and a better understanding of the procedure.

Hospital Affiliation: The hospital where the surgery is performed plays a significant role in the success of the operation. Look for hospitals in Delhi/NCR that have state-of-the-art facilities, advanced technology, and a dedicated team for post-operative care. Top hospitals often have specialized joint replacement centers.

Patient Reviews and Testimonials: Reading patient reviews and testimonials can provide insights into the surgeon’s skill, bedside manner, and overall patient experience. Positive feedback from former patients is a strong indicator of the surgeon’s competence.

Consultation: Schedule consultations with the shortlisted surgeons to discuss your condition and treatment options. A good surgeon will take the time to explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. They should also be open to answering all your questions and addressing any concerns you may have.

Second Opinion: If you have any doubts or want to explore other options, don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion. It’s important to feel confident and comfortable with the surgeon you choose for your hip replacement.

The Hip Replacement Procedure

Understanding what happens during hip replacement surgery can help alleviate some of the anxiety associated with the procedure. Here’s an overview:

Pre-Surgery Preparation: Before the surgery, your surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical exams, imaging tests (like X-rays or MRI), and preoperative blood tests. You’ll also meet with an anesthesiologist to discuss anesthesia options, which may include general or regional anesthesia.

Surgery: On the day of the surgery, you’ll be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision to access the hip joint, remove the damaged bone and cartilage, and replace them with the artificial implants. The incision is then closed, and the hip is bandaged.

Recovery: After surgery, you’ll spend a few days in the hospital under observation. Physical therapy will begin soon after the surgery to promote mobility and strengthen the hip. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on your overall health and the type of hip replacement performed.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

The recovery process after hip replacement surgery is crucial to achieving the best possible outcome. Here are some key aspects of post-operative care:

Pain Management: Your surgeon will prescribe pain medications to manage discomfort during the initial recovery phase. It’s important to take them as directed to manage pain effectively.

Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is essential for regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your hip. A physical therapist will guide you through exercises designed to aid your recovery.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are necessary to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

Lifestyle Modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding high-impact activities, and following your surgeon’s recommendations will help extend the life of your hip implant and improve your overall well-being.

Hip replacement surgery can dramatically improve your quality of life, especially if you’ve been suffering from chronic hip pain and limited mobility. Finding the best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR is crucial for ensuring a successful outcome. By following the tips outlined in this blog, you can make an informed decision and embark on your journey toward a pain-free, active life.

If you’re considering hip replacement surgery, don’t hesitate to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon to discuss your options and take the first step toward a healthier, more mobile future.

Nanotechnology in Orthopedics: A Pain-Free Future for Joint Replacements

The integration of nanotechnology into joint replacements is heralding a new era in medical science, with the promise of minimizing pain and enhancing the quality of life for millions of patients. This advanced technology is revolutionizing how surgeries are performed and redefining postoperative recovery and long-term joint function. Here, we explore how nanotechnology is utilized to make joint replacements more effective, durable, and pain-free.

Enhancing Implant Materials and Design

Nanotechnology significantly improves the materials used in joint replacements, making them more compatible with human biology. Nanoscale modifications to implant surfaces can dramatically enhance their functionality and longevity. For instance, nano-texturing of implant surfaces leads to better integration with bone and other surrounding tissues, which reduces the body's inflammatory response and enhances the healing process. This closer mimicry of natural bone structure reduces the risk of implant rejection and facilitates quicker recovery times.

Furthermore, applying nano-coatings to implants can release drugs or other agents that reduce pain and prevent infection directly at the surgery site. This targeted approach minimizes the need for systemic medications, which often carry side effects. It ensures a high concentration of therapeutic agents exactly where needed, improving outcomes and patient comfort during critical healing.

Reducing Pain and Accelerating Healing

The revolutionary aspect of nanotechnology in joint replacements is its potential to minimize post-surgical pain. By improving the biomechanical integration of implants and employing nano-enhanced materials that mimic natural tissue, patients experience less irritation and inflammation. This is crucial when pain management and early mobilization are pivotal in the immediate postoperative period. Enhanced integration reduces the mechanical friction between the implant and bone, a common source of discomfort in traditional implants.

Nanotechnology also facilitates the delivery of pain relief medications locally. Nano-sized carriers can encapsulate anti-inflammatory drugs, releasing them slowly over several weeks or months at the surgical site. This controlled release helps manage pain effectively without the complications associated with systemic pain medications, such as opioids, which are often used for controlling severe postoperative pain.

Longevity and Performance of Implants

One of the most promising aspects of nanotechnology in joint replacements is the potential to extend the life of implants. Traditional implants can wear down or loosen over time, often requiring revision surgeries. However, with nano-enhancements, implants are stronger and less susceptible to wear and tear. Incorporating nanoparticles into the material of the implants themselves can result in a denser, tougher structure that withstands the rigors of daily activities better than ever before.

Moreover, nanotechnology allows for the customization of implant materials to match the mechanical properties of the patient's tissues, reducing stress at the bone-implant interface. This stress reduction is key to preventing implant loosening and failure, extending the implant's functional lifespan, and reducing the likelihood of future surgeries.

Improving Diagnostic and Monitoring Capabilities

Beyond surgical applications, nanotechnology improves how joint health is monitored after surgery. Nanosensors can be embedded within implants to monitor pressure, temperature, and chemical changes, providing real-time data on the implant's condition and surrounding tissues. This ongoing monitoring can alert patients and doctors to potential problems before they become serious, enabling proactive management of joint health.

These sensors can also play a crucial role in rehabilitating therapy by providing feedback on how the joint is used during recovery. This data helps physical therapists tailor rehabilitation programs that maximize recovery while ensuring the new joint is not overstressed during healing.

The Future is Now

The intersection of nanotechnology and joint replacement surgery represents one of the most exciting advancements in medical treatments for arthritis and joint degradation. As research progresses and these technologies are refined, the potential for pain-free, long-lasting joint replacements becomes increasingly tangible. This promises to improve the quality of life and reduce the long-term costs of joint replacement surgeries.

Nanotechnology is set to transform the landscape of orthopedic medicine, providing pain-free solutions that allow patients to enjoy mobility and comfort with less risk and better outcomes. As this technology continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly open up new possibilities for treating a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, making the future of joint replacement bright and promising.

How Long Do Hip Replacements Last? Understanding the Longevity

Hip replacement surgery has become increasingly common in recent decades, offering relief and improved mobility to millions of people suffering from hip pain and dysfunction. As more individuals undergo this procedure, a common question arises: “How long do hip replacements last?” Dr Ankit Dave, one of the best orthopedic surgeons in Nairobi, shares the factors affecting the longevity of hip implants and what patients can expect in terms of durability in this blog.

The Average Lifespan of Hip Replacements

Modern hip replacements are designed to be durable and long-lasting. According to recent studies and clinical data, the majority of hip replacements can last 15 to 20 years or more. In fact, many patients with hip replacements from the 1990s and early 2000s are still functioning well with their original implants.

This means that more than half of patients who undergo hip replacement surgery today may never need a revision surgery in their lifetime, especially if they’re older when they receive the implant.

However, some of the best hip replacement surgeons in Nairobi mention that these are average figures, and individual experiences can vary widely based on several factors.

Factors Affecting Hip Replacement Longevity

Patient Age and Activity Level: Younger, more active patients tend to put more stress on their hip implants, which can lead to faster wear. Conversely, older or less active individuals may see their implants last longer.

Body Weight: Excess body weight puts additional stress on the hip joint, potentially accelerating wear and loosening of the implant.

Implant Material and Design: Advances in materials science and implant design have significantly improved the durability of hip replacements. Modern implants often use highly cross-linked polyethylene or ceramic components, which show better wear resistance than earlier materials.

Surgical Technique: The skill and experience of the surgeon performing the hip replacement can impact the longevity of the implant. Proper positioning and fixation of the components are crucial for long-term success.

Post-operative Care and Rehabilitation: Following the surgeon’s instructions for recovery and engaging in appropriate physical therapy can help ensure proper healing and function of the new hip.

Underlying Health Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis, can affect bone quality and potentially impact the lifespan of the implant.

Signs That a Hip Replacement May Need Revision

While many hip replacements last for decades, some may require revision surgery sooner. Signs that a hip implant may be failing include:

● Persistent pain in the hip area

● Decreased mobility or range of motion

● Swelling or inflammation around the hip

● A feeling of instability or “looseness” in the joint

● Audible clicking or popping sounds from the hip

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with the best hip replacement surgeon in Nairobi for an evaluation.

Improving the Longevity of Your Hip Replacement

There are several steps patients can take to maximize the lifespan of their hip implant:

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Keeping your weight in check reduces stress on the hip joint.

Stay Active, But Be Mindful: Regular, low-impact exercise like swimming, cycling, or walking can help maintain muscle strength and joint flexibility. However, avoid high-impact activities that could put excessive stress on the implant.

Follow Medical Advice: Attend regular check-ups with your orthopedic surgeon and follow their recommendations for care and activity levels.

Practice Good Nutrition: A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can help maintain bone strength around the implant.

Avoid Falls: Take precautions to prevent falls, which can damage the implant or surrounding bone.

Conclusion

While the question “How long do hip replacements last?” doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer, the outlook is generally positive. With proper care and barring complications, many patients can expect their hip replacements to last 15 to 25 years or more. As technology continues to advance, these numbers may improve even further.

If you’re considering hip replacement surgery in Nairobi or have already undergone the procedure, remember that your orthopedic surgeon is your best resource for personalized information about your implant’s expected lifespan and how to care for it. By staying informed and taking an active role in your hip health, you can help ensure that your new hip serves you well for many years to come.
