Patient discharged from hospital

SUBTITLES:

When I arrived at the general hospital,

the doctors retested me.

They told me that my willingness
to get better was important

because my condition
was very complicated.

So fortunately
I was only there one night,

I was on oxygen the whole time.

They treated me very well

and very early the next day

a doctor from the Zonkeys hospital
came to my bed and spoke with me.

He told me to give myself
the opportunity to come here


and finish my recovery at Zonkeys

and I think I made the right decision.

SUBTITLES:

On average they spend 7 days
of hospitalization here with us.

Until we see that the patient

no longer needs additional oxygen

that they can walk around freely,

get out of bed, go to the bathroom,

and not ‘desaturate’,
that is, maintain adequate breathing.

And, if they do not have a fever

and have finished their treatment,

then we can discharge them.

SUBTITLES:

The illness was very difficult;
the truth is

that it was very painful

and the team in the hospital
helped me a lot.

I must thank you
for what you did for me.

I was desperate because

I really wanted to see her.

I was able to talk to her
over the phone a couple of times

and it looked…

like she was improving.

I feel happy to be with her once again.

The most gratifying thing
is to see how patients leave

on their own without the need
for concentrated oxygen

and can happily reunite
with their families.
