Dominican Ears

For months I blamed my bed

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Thursday, 21 September 2006 | Views [233]

Well for 3 or 4 months now I have been thinking wow this mattress is bad but apparently the pain I was having could have been a symptom of the gall stone that I have now been diagnosed with. I have a gall stone which is blocking the passageway enough that it has apparently caused pancreatitis. This indicates that I need to have the gall bladder removed.

At least that what I took from the whole consult in spanish. They have said I should have surgery in the next few weeks. I am loving the convenience of working in a hospital and having all this at my finger tips. But I am seeing how frustrating it is and confusing for a patient to get information here. They really have the doctor is right don't ask questions attitude which I am not that used to.

I will be glad to be able to eat normally again and without pain.
