Guest guest Posted June 20, 1999 Report Share Posted June 20, 1999 , Considering that your wife had a major bleeding episode, it sounds reasonable that her doctors would be reluctant to put her through a comparitively risky procedure like a liver biopsy. When I had my biopsy they didn't really think there was anything wrong with my liver, but instead were suspicious of pancreatic cancer. I hadn't had a prothrombin time run prior to being hospitalized, but they did one while I was in the OR (for other invasive tests in addition to the biopsy). Apparently my clotting ability was so low they had to scramble to get 5 units of plasma before they proceeded with the biopsy. I don't know if they used it or not, but they told my husband that the biopsy was delayed while they " searched " all over Las Vegas for 5 units. The only reason that I can imagine for the urgency would be because of the high risk of bleeding caused by liver biopsy. Since then, my Hepatologist has referred to a liver biopsy as being high risk, but I don't remember in what context. Clearly, your wife's doctors aren't taking chances at your wife's expense. So many of the invasive procedures that are used for diagnosis are risky but they're necessary, I know. They can scan me all they want, but when they insert things and start snipping, I continue to rebel. My husband had a myelogram a few months ago and the fluid, for some reason, backed up and didn't pass through his spine. He said it was like liquid fire and it lasted for more than an hour. He'll never agree to another. And, when I had a lung biopsy last summer, my lung collapsed and correction of that problem was worse than the biopsy! That's besides the risk for bleeding. They didn't plan on hospitalizing me for the biopsy but wanted to hospitalize me after the collapse. I had to promise to go directly to the Bed and Breakfast that we'd decided to splurge on, and then directly to bed for the night and they wouldn't let us leave for home for almost 24 hours. Given all the scare talk, however, sometimes we have to go through some fairly frightening and painful procedures if we hope to see a diagnosis or an improvement in our condition. If I'm sick enough, I'll agree to anything! Take care, Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Not only do Pharmaceuticals cause serious side effects, but there has been a lot of scandal in the news about Pharmaceutical Companies doing deliberate harm by sending contaminated medicines outside of the USA! What is more, the FDA knew about it! See below on the Bayer products that were contaminated. How do we make a difference? First, the more people who raises their vibrations, the more the world will be affected. Second, we spread the truth, without spreading fear. Third, we become aware and responsible for ourselves, instead of letting others of authority, dictate to us, what is the acceptable norm. Fourth, for those who are handy with the pen, write, without fear and asking for GOD to guide you for the Highest Good of All! You can write the Editorial section of your local newspapers, as they post letters there, from their subscribers. And you can write your Government Reps. So, I found some information to help All with. http://www.house.gov/writerep/ House of Representatives, a list of each state's representative. http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm Senate, a list of each state's rep. fdadockets@...
