After suffering from an accident, attack or a malfunction, the patient is immediately hospitalized.

The physicians take charge and start the medical process.

Based on the various tests results, the physician decides weather or not to opt for an operation.

If the operation is opted, a special surgeon is called for the operation. http://www.rehabilitations.org 6

After the operation, the patient is suggested some days of bed rest. Meanwhile, a physician keeps a close eye on the patient’s body response to the medicines. He adjusts the medicine dosages accordingly.

While the patient is taking bed rest, a social worker is appointed by the hospital authority. He helps to find a rehabilitation center for the patient. He also does the necessary paperwork for the admission of patient in the center.

After the admission is confirmed, a rehab specialist, a psychologist and a rehab exercise expert approach the patient for his inpatient rehab treatment. In this phase of treatment, help of a hypnotist may be taken for the mental rehab patients.

When the inpatient phase of the rehab is over, the patient is discharged from the hospital. After the discharge, a patient has to choose between outpatient rehab or residential rehab in order to continue his remaining rehab procedure. The social worker and the rehab experts help the patient to take this decision.
