Pituitary Tumor Patient

Ms. Wannarat, the daughter, shares her story:

"Initially, my mother complained of eye pain and vision loss. We thought it was just age-related poor eyesight. After two or three months, her symptoms worsened, so we decided to take her to an eye doctor first."

The eye doctor conducted a thorough examination and ultimately concluded that her eyes were fine, suspecting a tumor pressing on the optic nerve. The doctor immediately sent her for an MRI with contrast. The results confirmed it was a pituitary tumor.

 

The doctor recommended seeing Dr. Nophasin. Luckily, Dr. Nophasin was on duty that day. He explained everything, assuring us it wasn't dangerous and that it would be endoscopic surgery through the nasal cavity, with Dr. Puripun creating the access.

 

After the surgery, the doctors invited us to the ICU to check on my mother. We were amazed; it was hard to believe she had just undergone brain surgery because she was fully aware of everything. Many thanks to Dr. Nophasin and Dr. Puripun.

 

Pituitary Tumor Patient

"I was exercising as usual, then after a while, I started staggering and feeling like the room was spinning."

I didn't think much of it for a day or two. Then, when I slept, I had the same spinning sensation, like someone with an inner ear imbalance. I couldn't open my eyes; everything just spun.

 

So I called 1669 and asked to go to Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, thinking it best to get admitted and thoroughly checked. I saw Dr. Puripun, who checked my eye and ear nerves. An MRI finally revealed a tumor. The doctor advised urgent surgery, so I decided to proceed immediately.

 

Talking with the doctor, I wasn't worried about the surgery's outcome, whether I'd live or die; I was indifferent, just ready to fight. I wanted to get better, so I decided on the surgery. Now, I'm completely normal; I can walk and move around typically. Overall, I've improved.

 

"I was impressed by the luxurious, comfortable, and convenient atmosphere of the labor room, and the nurses provided excellent care."

My family already uses Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, so for my second child, I had the chance to use their new delivery room. I was deeply impressed by its luxurious, comfortable, and convenient atmosphere, and the exceptional care from the nurses. They comforted me when I became scared about having a C-section, as I had initially planned for a natural birth.

 

Beyond the attentive nursing care, the calming ambiance of the labor room significantly reduced my anxiety and stress. The room had a TV, a relaxing atmosphere, and an en-suite bathroom. My husband was also able to stay and support me. Even though I was in a lot of pain, I still felt a sense of ease and comfort.
