Stasuik
"The big thing this time of
year is tree stress. Check out
the trees in your
neighbourhood now that
they're losing their leaves.
How would you like to stand
there nude until April or
May?" she said.
She said articles on
stressed -out pigs and
chickens that can't cope help
to put human stress into
perspective.
And, she pointed out how
people seem much more
willing to spend money to
alleviate their pets' stress
than their own, adding that
she was talked into buying
anti -stress food for her dog
by her veterinarian.
"I was going to leave
behind big city stress and
buy a farm until I learned
about high stress in farmers.
So, then I thought I'd escape
to the wilderness but I found
out there will be stress
wherever I live,” she said.
Stasuik recommended
creating a strategy to cope
with stress at a time when
you are not feeling stressed
out.
"A person under stress is
like a drowning person who
will grab anything to save
her life so set out a course of
action when you're calm and
feel under control," she said.
She said stress
management is big business
and the market provides
everything from relaxation
tapes to lotion to vitamins to
cope with stress.
The trick, she said, is
discovering yourself and
what techniques to reduce
stress work for you.
And using those
techniques to destress is
important before stress
begins to affect you
physically.
"During the third stage of
stress. you start to react
physically and your heart
starts beating hard, your
vocal chords constrict, your
knees knock and you have
butterflies in your tummy.
Then, physical things can
start like chronic back pain,
ulcers, .heart attack, stroke
and they'v.e even been
blaming stress in cancer for
the past 20 years," she said.
For the past 20 years,
Stasuik has used self-
hypnosis for 20 minutes
every day and said getting
into a state of relaxation for a
short time provides the
equivalent of eight more
hours of sleep.
"Giving yourself time to
use the relaxation response
lets yourself slow down a
little," she said.
She also recommended
exercise and a good diet but
added that the exercise
should be something you
enjoy.
"I work with a lot .of
people who belong to 'the
club' but that's not for me. If
you do something you want
to do, you'll do it with
gusto," she said.
Stasuik said people can
also avoid mental and
emotional stress by
communicating with other
people to let them know who
you are and how you operate
most successfully.
As well, she recommended
finding ways to avoid time
crunches.
"As women, we set our
goals and if we can't reach
them, we claw to reach them.
For anyone else, we modify
them but not for ourselves,"
she said.
Stasuik avoids the time
crunch at Christmas now by
having all her gifts bought
and wrapped by August so
that she can enjoy the season
in December.
"We can't do things the
way we've always done them
because things are always
changing. The survivor
technique is having the
ability to change," she said.
She added that women
have to choose how
accessible they will be to
others, especially with all the
communication technology
available today.
"It's my choice not to own
a cell phone. I am not a
machine that goes 24 - seven.
I turn off as well
sometimes," she said.
`Repatriation' makes
hospital partnership
prepared for changes
at London hospitals
By Susan Hundertmark
Expositor Staff
The Huron -Perth Hospital Partnership's year-long talks with
London hospitals about "repatriating" or offering more health
services locally has made local hospitals more prepared than
most for the London Health Sciences Centre's recent decision
to phase out 18 health services.
"We're the farthest advanced in repatriation. We've
anticipated and been working for some time on it so we weren't
hit as much as some communities by the news," says Dr. Stan
Brown, vice president of medical affairs for the Huron -Perth
partnership.
Repatriation will mean bringing primary and secondary
medical services back to Huron -Perth such as birth and gall
bladder surgery.
"We have the capability of doing those procedures in Huron -
Perth. It's good for local patients and it eases pressure on
London," he says.
But, because most of the 18 phased -out services are "low
volume" procedures such as pediatric cardiac surgery and heart.
lung and bowel transplants, Brown says "a low number" of
Huron -Perth patients will be affected.
"I don't see it as a major problem but it will be a
disadvantage to people who need the highly -specialized
services that are being phased out," he says.
Brown says the reasons for the London Health Sciences
Centre phasing out the 18 services are not cost but safety. He
says a procedure like pediatric cardiac surgery needs to be done
150 times a year to maintain competency in the medical staff
involved. In London, those surgeries were done 120 times last
year while they were done over 200 times last year in Toronto.
"Those specialized services are never going to be offered in
Huron -Perth," he says.
Brown says the phase-out period at the London Health
Sciences Centre is one to three years and Huron -Perth has not
been informed yet about where patients will need to go for the
phased -out services.
"The fallout is unknown at this point but we're not going to
see an immediate major shift of patients," he says. "We'll be
keeping in close contact with London and they'll keep us up-to-
date."
