Is it advisable to undergo surgery for fracture after Methamphetamine intake?
Patient: Hello,At 7.45pm on Thursday 20th march 2014 I had methamphetamine (crack pipe). I have badly dislocated my finger during netball & Have been in hospital all nite & morning. they have now told me I need to go to another hospital @ 9am friday 21st march 2014 which may have them needing to operate on the fracture. What do I do? I am feeling absolutely sick in my stomach with fear. Can they undergo the surgery giving it would of only been 13 hrs of last having it? Doctor: Hi you are worried about a second surgery in your finger within 13 hrs. In my opinion to get the best results it is better to undergo operation as early as possible. If 2nd operation is required , I am sure they would do it after some delay. Metamphetamine effect would have worn out by then.
