【Tungs' Hospital】Unbearable Pain! Filipino Struggled with Kidney Stones
【Tungs' Hospital】Unbearable Pain! Filipino Struggled with Kidney Stones

A Filipino seafarer, during a long voyage at sea, suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain and noticed signs of hematuria in his recent urine. Despite trying to endure it, the pain was too unbearable to ignore, so he decided to seek medical attention immediately upon the advice of the ship's doctor, arranging to go to Tungs' Hospital. After examination, the doctor diagnosed the patient with kidney stones, leading to symptoms such as urinary obstruction and hematuria. Kidney stones are one of the common problems encountered in maritime work. Due to limited food supply and difficulty preserving vegetables onboard, seafarers tend to consume foods high in calcium oxalate and phosphates, such as spinach and beans. Additionally, due to the dietary environment and work pressure onboard, indigestion is also common, leading to the deposition of crystalline substances in the kidneys, forming stones. Through ultrasound examination, it was found that the size of the kidney stones in this patient was approximately 7 millimeters and presented in a round shape. Following the doctor's recommendation, the seafarer underwent flexible ureteroscopy, successfully removing the stones with minimal harm to the body and restoring normal urine flow. Small Facts about flexible ureteroscopy: Flexible ureteroscopy is one of the methods used to treat kidney stones. It is a flexible medical equipment that can be inserted through the urethra into the bladder and urethra for the observation and treatment of kidney stones. Compared to traditional rigid ureteroscopy, this type of ureteroscope is softer, making it easier to navigate through the bends of the urethra and reducing discomfort for the patient. The doctor also reminded him that adopting good dietary habits is an important part of preventing kidney stones, advising him to increase his intake of fruits and vegetables onboard, avoid excessive consumption of foods high in calcium oxalate and phosphates, and pay attention to avoiding diets that are detrimental to kidney health, such as those high in oil and salt. This story serves as a reminder to the public that whether it's seafarers on long voyages or individuals who enjoy drinking beverages and eating meals with sauces, they are all at risk for kidney disease. Maintaining good dietary habits and seeking timely medical assistance can effectively prevent and treat such diseases. -- If you have further questions, you can visit our website or inquire on various social media platforms: ► IMS Website ► Facebook ► Instagram ► WhatsApp

【Taipei Fertility Center 】Case Sharing from Taiwan

Taipei Fertility Center / Case Sharing from Taiwan I’m a patient who had one of my ovaries removed. I was diagnosed with the cancer when I was in college. After finishing my whole cancer treatment, my husband and I had started our family-forming plan for 2 years, and got nothing sadly. Then I met Dr.Hu when I was 38. At that time, my AMH value was only 0.3ng/ml because of my age and the lesion caused by chemotherapy before. During the IVF treatment, I was suggested with 2 options – collecting my eggs by several retrieval surgeries or egg donation. Although I was so anxious, I decided to go for 4 times of egg retrievals without hesitation, and luckily I got 9 eggs collected! Finally, 3 embryos were implanted into my uterus, and I was pregnant successfully with the singleton. Few months after, I came back to see Dr.Hu with my precious 8-month-old baby. I told my baby that this is the second time he met Dr.Hu. The first time happened in the time-lapse incubator when he is still an embryo. What a strong vitality! It’s such an amazing miracle we won’t ever forget.

【Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital】Emergency Surgery for Indonesian Patient with Stroke

The Indonesian patient, who had been working hard in Taiwan for over a decade, was found unresponsive one day. Urgently taken to the hospital for examination, the results revealed a cerebral infarction. Following an emergency craniotomy, the patient successfully recovered and was weaned off the ventilator. After two and a half months of inpatient treatment, the condition gradually stabilized, allowing the individual to return home! During the nearly five and a half hours of the flight, with the attentive care of the Formosa SOS team from Tungs' Hospital, the patient safely arrived in Jakarta and continued recovery at home. Each successful transfer requires the collaborative efforts of various departments, and thus, sincere thanks are extended to the Indonesian Representative Office in Taiwan and EVA Air for their assistance in ensuring the smooth completion of the entire transfer process. Once again, heartfelt gratitude is expressed. Understanding Cerebral Infarction: Cerebral infarction may manifest warning signs in advance, such as sudden headaches, visual abnormalities, difficulty speaking, etc. If you or someone around you experiences these symptoms, seeking medical attention immediately is crucial. Promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a low-fat diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption, is advocated. Regular check-ups, especially for those at risk of chronic diseases, are key to preventing cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction is a severe cerebrovascular disease, but through these simple lifestyle habits and timely medical care, we can better prevent and address the risks.

At sea, Polish sailor Mr. Krzysztof suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, as if crushed by a large stone. This pain quickly spread, like a giant wave surging from his chest to his neck and arm, making it difficult for him to endure, accompanied by difficulty breathing, dizziness, and vomiting. Through the activation of the emergency medical system, Krzysztof was rushed to Tungs' Hospital, where a careful examination by the medical team quickly confirmed that Mr. Krzysztof was suffering from acute myocardial infarction, a condition where blood flow to the heart muscle is interrupted, causing myocardial damage. It requires immediate vascular intervention within the golden time. The hospital immediately mobilized the team from the Coronary Heart Disease Center and arranged for a cardiac catheterization procedure. Inside the operating room, with the concerted efforts of advanced medical equipment and professional medical staff, Krzysztof's life was successfully saved. His heart regained normal blood flow, removing the threat of myocardial infarction. Later, with the attentive care of the medical team and assistance from the international medical center, Mr. Krzysztof safely returned to his long-missed hometown, looking forward to returning to the sea.

【Taipei Fertility Center】 “You Have No Time to Waste” from a happy, healthy and seemingly fit woman in Australia

From a happy, healthy, and seemingly fit woman, all of a sudden, I was told I have not much time left.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> First extraction - Australiao:p>/o:p> Now I look back my first experience in Australia, was quite a daunting process with little that I was explained - I used to have quite a lot of faith in Australian medical system given my last 20 years of living in Australia and my early years in Hong Kong. Comparatively, I deem myself as very fortunate, I experienced the best out of the 2 places I call home, before I experienced what is better in Taiwan.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> Why Taiwan?o:p>/o:p> Taiwan stood out to me as the first resort, as I recall my successful eye laser surgery back in 2014. I have long heard about the positive experience of receiving medical services in Taiwan, from a lot of news and articles, even friends around me.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> A lot of my Taiwanese friends would wait until they can return home, to get their bodies fixed basically - even from dental appointment or their annual health check, to minor procedures and even major operation. They would rather endure the pain until they can return home.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> I never used to understand them, and I even once joked about their being a “baby”.o:p>/o:p> “Come on, be an adult and you’re in Australia already. Stop revert everything back home!o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> I must admit Taiwan is not the only country that offers egg freezing procedure but after balancing all factors including affordability, medical and technological advancement, and possibility of receiving support from friends and family in case of emergency or eveno:p>/o:p> repatriation, Taiwan was unparalleled. After all, even if I got enough in the end, I know I would still enjoy the sight-seeing and reconnection with a few friends.o:p>/o:p> There’s a Chinese saying, 沒有比較就沒有傷害 - Compare and despair.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> I can spend another thousand words on how I landed on choosing Taipei TFC but my experience with them was just top notch.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> From my first contact - the fact that I could even contact them via WhatsApp, till landing myself in Taipei to my seeing my specialist for the first time, the whole journey was very smooth, transparent and I felt I was well supported.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> Not only everyone I was put in contact with speaks fluent English but all relevant materials, information on their website and their awareness of geographical factors and limitations were something I would not ask for, but they have them all.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> Experience can be subjective so for those result-oriented readers:o:p>/o:p> The number of mature eggs extracted without any scientifically significant change in my AMH level was more than 3 times more than what I had in Australia, and there is only 1 month gap between the 2 extractions.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> Let the story continue!o:p>/o:p> After this experience, I just wanted more people like me do not feel despair but DO COMPARE! Sometimes alternatives are out there for those who seek, and different results can be achieved by simply looking for second opinion or even just give yourself a chance in a different country.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> The positive experience I had throughout the process, the relieving result of the egg extraction or simply everywhere I have been to in Taiwan, including all the good food, nice people and beautiful sceneries in Taiwan (I managed to travel around Taipei, Jiufen and even Kaohsiung) came as a package for this success, or even if it reached my bottom line of expectation, I know I would still be winning and smiling.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> All in all, I was grateful for the medical and supporting team in Taipei TFC, especially Dr. Lee Yi-Hsuan, for looking after me. Thanks for giving me an opportunity and a “home” for my weary soul who has been exhausted in looking for options during this once I believed was a rat race.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> When I totally respect the merits, and pros and cons in any circumstances including the medical systems in Australia and Taiwan, I know I always have a choice.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> And I have chosen to return to Taipei TFC for my second extraction in November.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> I can’t wait to share my next chapter of this journey - when I will have to be ino:p>/o:p> consultation with both local medical team in Australia and in Taipei as I do not have the recommended 15 days to stay in Taipei for the full procedure.o:p>/o:p> o:p>/o:p> Jenny Chiu – Oct 2023o:p>/o:p> Introduction of MD.
