U need to take her to a higher center which is equipped to deal with such patients. Be prepared that post operatively her recovery may be slow n would need ventillator n ICU support. Discuss at length n then decide what patient and the family wants

Question 3

I'm experiencing this on-and-off burning sensation near my lower left rib. It feels just like a hot burning thing going on, especially when I'm lying down. It's so strange because when I'm busy with work or moving around, there's no pain at all, but as soon as I lie down, that hot feeling pops up near my left rib towards the back. It's been two weeks already! I'm not in pain, more like a discomfort really, as the left side aches near the lower rib with this heat thing happening. Any idea what this could be and how I could maybe get rid of it?
