A weeks ago I developed an abcess in my bellybutton incision and am having an inflammatory reaction. Called my surgeons answering service immediately, the lady on the phone preceded to instruct me to "get some tweezers and pull on the pus filled mass"..........Uh, I think NOT! I insisted she speak to my surgeon. A couple of hours later she calls me back. The surgeon called me in some antibiotics and told her to tell me to "squeeze my incision and get all the pus out" WTH?!! These ppl are trying to kill me I swear! So I went in to my primary care doc who was very concerned, he drained it an packed it and gave me bactroban. Three days since and have developed another abcess.....idk what do :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-81879927551008824682011-05-21T02:06:30.969-04:002011-05-21T02:06:30.969-04:00I had my gallbladder removed six months ago.

The surgery went well and I was recovering nicely, then on the fourth day everything changed. I woke up throwing up and constantly gagging. I completely lost my appetite and was unable to eat. I've had a CT scan, Upper GI and small bowel test, and endoscopy done and all came back normal. My dr says its just my body adjusting to not having a gallbladder. Do you believe that? Could my surgeon have done something wrong? Any ideas???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-3726418357368858722010-08-03T20:02:53.881-04:002010-08-03T20:02:53.881-04:00I know this post is a much older one, but I'm ...I know this post is a much older one, but I'm getting my gallbladder taken out next week & my surgeon had given me a consultation telling me that the likelihood of a bowel injury is less than 1%. Although this is a common procedure, I'm very nervous because it's my first one... I'm at 30% of my ejection fraction, which they said is good enough to remove my gallbladder, however I have NO stones. I just feel like most surgeons just wanna open everyone up for the money. I'm hoping my assumption is also wrong. :\Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-73104785202454222522010-06-26T21:29:38.697-04:002010-06-26T21:29:38.697-04:00Murtha wasn't a senator, he was a representati...Murtha wasn't a senator, he was a representative (member of the House).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-73163664747229239142010-06-09T15:46:54.480-04:002010-06-09T15:46:54.480-04:00Do you think the injury may have been caused by in...Do you think the injury may have been caused by insulation failure or capacitive coupling?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027370344404143729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-77352935684788315642010-04-27T22:22:12.200-04:002010-04-27T22:22:12.200-04:00To the anonymous person putting off their cholecys...To the anonymous person putting off their cholecystectomy... I think this is a bad idea. The longer you wait, the more difficult your operation could become. There really is no other way to get rid of troublesome gallstones. What happened to Murtha is unfortunate, but rare. While there are no guarantees, you'll probably do fine. You are best served getting it taken care of sooner, rather than later though.<br /><br />-M Campbell, MDMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873518785658201492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-20635504985535702282010-03-03T10:22:23.390-05:002010-03-03T10:22:23.390-05:00Because Senator Martha surgery I have put off my g...Because Senator Martha surgery I have put off my gallbladder surgery.I have been in pain off and on for two weeks now but the pain is getting worst so I have to do somthing.

She is given equal time to babble non sequiturs to fawning <i>debate</i> hosts.<br /><br />At the other end of the problem spectrum is Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who should understand the definition of <i>brain death</i>, but keeps telling people that they can recover from being brain dead. Maybe what he means is that the media will give you a platform for your pet conspiracy theory, even if you are brain dead.
