I don't know...Kimmy makes some valid points. I would rather have the doctor err on the side of caution-time is really of the essence especially if you even suspect a stroke.

I think too many doctors shrug things off and then it's too late.

I don't see how she would make extra money buy sayingyou had a stroke-the hospital gets the $$ for the CAT scan.

With all that being said-I can't imagine how scary that must have been for you and your family! So happy to hear all is well!

Let me switch gears and give a example.

My Husband has a Tumor on the spine, according to the results of the MRI (Just found out yesterday.) All she does is tell him that your out of shape, and you need Physical Therapy.

She also knows that he had a Kidney removed do to RENAL CELL CARCINOMA.

Se still insisted on physical therapy do to Arthritis.

Wel the Dr. covering for her is setting up a CT SCAN so they can further look into this.

So even if he lives,, he's in for a long haul.

But I was the one that told her again that he is suppose to follow up with CT SCAN just to play it safe. This is to be yearly.

She finally said fine ! I'll set up the MRI.

Well I guess it's safe to say Physical Therapy has nothing to do with his back killing him.

But that is her diagnoses. Wrong Again !

I will be checking one out in Internal Medicine. I think this will be best for his needs.

But now that this has come up, I don't know if they will take him??????

We also have to see if it's malignant or benign. But I'm still going to try.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
