BBC 2 Winter Virus Programme tonight features Mr Guri Sandhu ENT in London
Mr Sandhu is a WG expert and is responsible for many successful operations including my own where I was able to have my
tracheostomy
removed thanks to his skills. His actual speciality is the trachea and he was involved in writing a paper on WG which won a European Award.

My ICU story and after.....
My first memories of being awake on ICU are of being handled for procedures and how horrible that was, and of a lot of things that turned out later to be imaginary: of trying telling the staff I had soiled myself (when in fact I had a stoma), of thinking I was talking to people when in fact I had a

I had my oesophagectomy in June 2011. 2 days after my op I had a cardiac arrest and was kept in an enforced coma for 3 weeks.
I also was given a tracheotomy. I have improved a lot since the op and went back to work part time in October. I still have discomfort after eating every day and also have palpitations when I get pain or discomfort. I can still only eat tiny amounts, less than half a ready meal for 1, and rarely feel

It's difficult to cope with PSP
Immediately after surgery, she required a
tracheostomy
and spent a total of four months in hospital. During this time, through lack of activity, PSP took a further hold.

Hello old friends... Em is back! (WARNING: references to ventilation and severe illness)
My asthma nurse has been in nursing for over 25 years and has worked for a long time as an ICU nurse, and she has never seen an asthmatic need a

- doing a trache is a marker of a lengthy and/or complicated vent.
