So you have the same doctor as us?????? Sounds like it. Don't get me started. Again. (I've posted about it before).

Somefof them get the God Complex. Put your foot down and tell them how it is. After all, you are NOT just a number and a paycheck (but that's how they see us).

So, is the pancreatitis gone? We just found out today, from last Wednesday's blood work, that my husband's pancreatitis is showing up again. Wth?? He was discharged after tons of iv antibiotics fir it three weeks ago. Now it's coming back??? And they want to retest it in TWO WEEkS??? Um, no. And if course Dr our NURSE didn't call him back to talk more about it. We want antibiotics NOW and hopefully in pill firm instead of iv because he's already missed a lot of work and well, stating in the hospital just plain sucks and they don't let you sleep.

Gah, I hope your stupid drs get it together and have fixed the problem. Ever thoughtt about going to someone else?

You know, I like my surgeons, I really do. I just want them to listen to me and understand that I know what is going on in my own body.

I have to have some bloodwork done tomorrow re the pancreatitis. Will see what happens.

You know, I also have epilepsy and I have been dealing with my neurologists office today. Great dr, awful staff. I was out of medication and I have to take a different form of the same medication due to this stricture. I called at 9 am this morning and talked with my pharmacist twice. No medicine.

So I get a hold of the neurologists office and the girl tells me there are no nurses left, I am going to have to wait until tomorrow. I said there are no drs left? My dr was still there but with his last patient. She says I need to call tomorrow or she will put me through the patient care line to leave another message for tomorrow.

I was already pissed over this stricture and I told that girl I didn't care if she had to park her ass outside of that patients door, that medicine would be filled TODAY. And it was.

I do like my surgeons, I just think they think they are always right, they are the drs... but I knowbest about my own body, and they need to listen to that and understand.

I hope your husband does ok. I have heard that pancreatitis can be chronic. I sure hope that is not the case for either of us...

I too had a stricture on week 3 postop. For one week i could barely even drink anything. I dehydrated twice landing me in the ER. Always asking if was a stricture. The nausea was almost unbearable and the painid feel for hours after vommitting was so bad!! Finally they got me in to endoscopy and i had a stricture as well as an ulcer. I have to repeat the endoscopy on sept 16th and im on nexium powder i mix with Water 2x a day. Ive not had anymore issues since.. and hoping after they dilate me again i will feel even better. Wishing you well with your recovery and hoping no more complications for u. Ik that it stinks going thru all that...

It really does. I think I had that stricture from one week out and they wouldn't do anything. Something got stuck again last night so I am sure I have to go back. They felt like I may have to go 1-2 more times. Thank you very much, and to you as well!!!
