Diary of a CEO

Father, wife and son

After Monday's heart specialist check, we were urge to send my father for a invanted examination and operation if needed on Wed. The rush warning form the specialist kept me worry, seeking second opinion wasn't have window, so I have to call almost all the relationship to be equipped with information I need; AJ who provide the first assistance , David help to check second opinion, and Sidney, the doctor classmate of mine who really help as an insider; Sid arrange me to see another heart specialist the follow morning in order to decided where to take the check-in instruction; brought my father to NTUH on Tuesday, Mr. Tusi gave the same opinion as the Monday doctor, there's no other choice but to send father to operation on Wed.

Wife accompany father to take care what he wish to do before the operation, Wed. I accompany with him to check in NTUH early in the morning, blood test, heart radia reader and some simply pre-operation check were done by 10 in the morning, nothing to be afterward. we talked and wife feel strong pressure from father who asked her to be more open minded to my mother, a burdon my wife won't never want to take. if this is the last word , wife would not take it. I am in between and can do nothing, this is a very frustrating day.

The heart check began on 11:00 am Wed. morning, when waiting outside the operation room, the bench sit with relatives who were waiting for further instrution or information; We saw a religion confrontation in front of us, a Buddalish wisper with Darham were asked to lower her voice, I saw another lady hand with Bible and raised her voice to request, there's no compromise, so, the Christian ( must be ) began to sing her Gospel songs, this is so strange, everyone have his own religiou to pray or the operation patient, who create such a strange fire in the surgenry room.

Father were send out of the operaiton room by 12:15am. no doctor's advise or instrution, I think this is a very good sign, indeed, it is. taking the troll back to his room, begin another 12 hours of " Don't move " cage, we were very lucky to learn that his heart problem was not as serious as doctor's estimation.

Stay with him at the hosptial unitl Thursday morning, I am waiting for checking out, this is my father's second experience in operation, after 30 years.
