Patient Journey to the Major Operating Theatre at KKH

Your child may be nervous or even scared about coming to the hospital for surgery. Parents can help their children by being there for them, being supportive and providing information about what to expect. This video follows a child undergoing a procedure in the Major Operating Theatre as an inpatient at KK Women's and Children's Hospital.

Those big doors in the OR reception seem way too scary. Why do the doors needs to be so heavy?

Since my first operation in October 2004, I felt very nervous too because I wasn't sure how the operation works and that I might die in the midst of it. The operation would allow me to go to sleep peacefully while the doctors do my surgery until its done. I have been though over 15 operations (the worst one was in 2016 though, but glad its over) between October 2004 and November 2018.

@@willowmoore6877 You won't feel anything doing the operation, you will just 'sleep' (but not die) while the doctors operate on you.
