wind
Pneumonia , due to immobility & inadequate lung expansion post-op, because of pain, and infection ("Splinting" may enter into this because of restricted mobility, but I cannot find splinting as a direct cause of post-op comps.)
Atelectasis (can occur without pneumonia - a condition in which all or part of a lung becomes airless and contracts. Often seen in ventilated patients )
water
usually refers to urinary tract infections, very common when urinary catheter in situ
walking
refers to restricted mobilty. Deep vein thrombiosis is a common complication, often treated prophylactically with heparin/ compression stockings
wound
the most common site for post-op infections
wonder drugs
Some drugs can cause fever; also consider MRSA, an increasing common hospital-acquired infection caused by over-use of antibiotics.
womb
In obstetrics and gynaecology this would be the primary site for infection, and comes above drugs
MRSA
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, also known as "the hospital super-bug".
