Balloon Sinuplasty Video Transcript
Interviewer:
So, what brought you in to see Dr. Morehouse initially?
Patient:
I came to Dr. Morehouse because I was experiencing these terrible sinus headaches and a lot of pain in my ear and jaw area and just a lot of pressure that was so uncomfortable I could not sleep at night. I wasn’t getting correct sleep and just felt tired and exhausted all the time.
Interviewer:
And what did you think of Dr. Morehouse when you met him?
Patient:
When I first met Dr. Morehouse, I was greatly impressed with how courteous he was, how polite he was, how he explained everything completely – what I needed to have done and what he suggested I have done. I also was impressed with how he followed up with everything.
Interviewer:
What did Dr. Morehouse recommend for you?
Patient:
He recommended that I have balloon sinuplasty surgery and it could be done right there in the office. That’s what I chose to do.
Interviewer:
Tell us about the experience with the procedure the day of the balloon sinuplasty.
Patient:
The day of the balloon sinuplasty, he did prescribe for me a pill that would calm me down which I took. It was very good and all the staff was so courteous and completely helpful, telling me everything that would happen and the doctor came in and explained everything that would happen. I felt completely comfortable and not agitated or irritated at all. I truly thought it was not nearly as bad as I had thought it would be and was completely surprised at how quickly it went.
Interviewer:
So, your procedure was comfortable and you were numb and it wasn’t a bother to be awake in the office?
Patient:
My procedure was completely comfortable and it was no bother at all being in the office and I was completely awake and aware of everything that was happening and it just was not unpleasant at all.
Interviewer:
What has been your experience since the procedure in terms of the symptoms you had beforehand?
Patient:
Since the balloon sinuplasty procedure, I am experiencing hardly any symptoms of the pressure and no headaches at all. The pressure is very slight now and it seems to be going away as time goes by. I have no pain in my ear left and I am just sleeping better, feeling better. I have more energy and just feel so much better and feel I should have had it done long ago.
Interviewer:
What do you feel is the greatest benefit in having this procedure done? Was it not having to go to the operating room?
Patient:
The greatest benefit of having this procedure done, I would say, is not having to bother with a hospital, not having to go to the operating room, not having to bother with all those things that I have been putting off for so long, thinking that I would have to do that. This was truly the easiest procedure I have ever had done in my life and I am sorry that I didn’t look into it earlier.
