my prescription says I need a craniotomy as soon as possible for a brain hemorrhage and blockage requiring surgery - can I use this to get medical leave or do I need additional documents from the doctor how urgent is a craniotomy for brain hemorrhage and blockage mentioned in my prescription - should I be rushing to the hospital right away or is there some time to arrange things the doctor wrote that I have a brain hemorrhage and blockage needing surgery with a craniotomy ASAP - what exactly does this mean for my condition and recovery can someone explain why a craniotomy is required for brain hemorrhage and blockage - my prescription mentions it but I'm not sure what the procedure involves my medical leave application needs a prescription but mine only mentions craniotomy for brain hemorrhage and blockage - is that enough or do I need more details from the doctor

Yes, a prescription mentioning craniotomy for hemorrhage can be used for medical leave, but a detailed certificate from the treating doctor is better.

View allI've been diagnosed with a slipped L4L5S1 disc and doctors are recommending surgery but I'm scared of going under the knife. Is it possible to manage the severe lower back and left leg pain without surgery? What are my other options?
Yes, it's possible to manage a slipped L4L5S1 disc and associated pain without surgery. Conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, and injections are often the first line of defense. Surgical options are usually considered if conservative measures don't provide sufficient relief or if nerve compression is severe

My mom fell off her scooty on November 28th because of sudden brakes. The 3D CT scan showed a hairline fracture on her right frontal bone. Will this heal on its own or does she need surgery? It's December 1st now and she seems normal except for swelling on her forehead, lips, and black eyes. A dental surgeon said medicines should help but advised consulting a neurosurgeon. What do you suggest?
Have to see the scans and condition of patient directly . Consult neurosurgeon personally.
