Homa Sarshar’s Resilient Disc Operation Journey: A Remarkable Tale of Triumph Over Pain

A. Pre-Operation Preparation 

Sarshar’s journey towards her disc operation was marked by meticulous preparation. She was admitted to the pre-op ward on a fateful Tuesday afternoon. The hours leading up to the surgery were filled with anticipation and anxiety, as she braced herself for the procedure that promised relief from years of agony. During this time, injectable painkillers were administered to manage her discomfort until she was ready to be transferred to the operating room.

As she lay in the pre-op ward, Homa Sarshar couldn’t help but marvel at the surroundings. The operating room and its equipment seemed like something out of a science fiction movie. This contrasted sharply with her childhood memories of a tonsillectomy performed without anesthesia. She vividly recalled her parents holding her hand and the promise of ice cream to ease her pain, a stark reminder of how far medical technology had come over seven decades.
