Dr. Sarah Jones will never forget the exact moment of the accident that changed her life and came perilously close to ending her career as a pediatric surgeon. It was 11:20 am, August 8, 2009.
Fall was coming, and Jones and her husband, Ramiro Arellano, were collecting wood for their furnace. The two were splitting logs in a woodlot, at their rural home near Kingston.
Jones and Arellano 카지노 게임 컬렉션 who카지노 게임 컬렉션s also a doctor, an anaesthetist 카지노 게임 컬렉션 came to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in 2005 to settle down. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We picked Kingston because of its size, the proximity to grandparents, and the medical facilities,카지노 게임 컬렉션 recalls Jones.
The couple bought an old farmhouse, and they and their two young children began keeping chickens, built a barn, and talked about getting some sheep.
All of their hopes and dreams were put in jeopardy when Jones sustained a traumatic hand injury. She lost the three middle fingers on her right hand 카지노 게임 컬렉션 her working hand.
Jones remembers her first thought: 카지노 게임 컬렉션I won카지노 게임 컬렉션t ever be a surgeon again.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Within hours of the accident, Jones was in the operating room at Kingston General Hospital (KGH). Plastic surgeons John Davidson, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션77, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션80, Meds카지노 게임 컬렉션82, and Kimberley Meathrel, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션96, Meds카지노 게임 컬렉션00, spent the next 12 hours painstakingly re-attaching Jones카지노 게임 컬렉션 fingers.
She was in the hospital for two weeks. Part of her post-surgery treatment included leech therapy while new veins grew in her hand. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We had quite a time with the leeches,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Jones in her soft British accent. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They kept escaping from my hand and roaming all over the room.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Those first days of post-operative care were only the beginning of Jones카지노 게임 컬렉션s long, daunting road to recovery. She tried hard not to think about her uncertain future. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Nobody really knew what, if anything, was possible,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
The road back began with regular rehabilitation sessions at the Hand Clinic within the Hotel Dieu Hospital카지노 게임 컬렉션s Orthopedics Department, where Jones came under the care of Juliana Lacocerie Salgado, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션06, an occupational therapist with expertise in hand therapy. She and Jones have a couple of common traits: an astonishing capacity for perseverance and a passion for their work.
In September 2010, 13 months after the accident, Salgado watched as Jones "sutured" a piece of fabric, the dexterity in her fingers nearly back to normal.
Therapist and patient worked together for most of a year. They did exercises to help Jones recover her fine motor skills, but they also talked about possible new career goals for Jones.
In January 2010, five months after the accident she still couldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t bend her fingers well enough to resume her work. Discouraged and frustrated, she began learning to use her left hand.
Meanwhile, Jones카지노 게임 컬렉션s husband chanced to see a documentary in which a man with a badly damaged hand regained full use of his hand through a series of surgeries and rehabilitations. Jones was initially reluctant, but she finally agreed to consider the idea. Arellano then called Dr. Bing Siang Gan, a plastic surgeon he knew at the Hand and Upper Limb Centre at the 카지노게임사이트 of Western Ontario.
Gan operated on Jones three times. After each operation, she continued her rehab sessions with Salgado. The day after the first surgery, Jones called Salgado to tell her she could not make her post-op appointment. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I was feeling a bit sorry for myself,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Jones. 카지노 게임 컬렉션But Juliana told me, 카지노 게임 컬렉션You can do this, Sarah.카지노 게임 컬렉션카지노 게임 컬렉션 And she did.
In September 2010, 13 months after the accident, Salgado watched as Jones 카지노 게임 컬렉션sutured카지노 게임 컬렉션 a piece of fabric, the dexterity in her fingers nearly back to normal. It was a breathtaking moment for both patient and occupational therapist.
There was one more step Jones had to take before she knew she was fully recovered. In December 2010, she traveled to Halifax, where she카지노 게임 컬렉션d done a two-year Fellowship in Pediatric General Surgery, after completing her General Surgery at both Dalhousie 카지노게임사이트 and McMaster 카지노게임사이트 in Hamilton, Ontario. Jones was ready to perform her first post-accident surgery. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I wanted to go back to where I카지노 게임 컬렉션d trained,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Jones카지노 게임 컬렉션s return to the operating room and her career has been a success. She is now Head of Pediatrics at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, KGH, and the Hotel Dieu Hospitals.
