first of all,thank you all

[Guest guest]

hello. o.k. i had another dr. appointment wed. and most of my scores

from my blood draw were good,but i have noticed that my dr.(whom i've

been seeing since i had my liver failure 1 1/2 years ago)i ask her some

very basic questions about my health and liver failure and she looks at

me with a blank look.isn't it sort of a doctors responsibility when

he/she takes your case that he/she atleast take the time to study the

patient and learn about the illness he has.i frequently have to ask for

certain tests i know i probably should have gotten already. i know it

is my

illness but the doctor is supposed to know a little right? i am still

affected from my failure and working so hard to be somewhat normal

again. but like i have said before,i am still trying to remember what

happened.well...i asked this. am i currently on a transplant list or

should i be. and she kind of smirked and said that i don't need to be

and i probably never have.is this right? my meld score is down to a 9

I know that the criteria are different for every transplant center, but the

lowest MELD I have seen that would allow you on the list is a 15.  However,

there is quite possibly one I don't know about as we don't have experience with

transplant centers, other research.  I'm sure there are others here who can give

you a better answer.

If you feel this doctor is not managing your healthcare well, fire him/her and

get another doctor.  It is vital that you have a good relationship with your

doctor.

I pray you continue to improve and that this doctor is right and you never need

the transplant.  God bless!

Hugs............

I got onto the transplant list here in the Dallas area with a 15 MELD.  It had

been in the upper 20's but they took me off some of the duretics.  I am wating

on a kidney and liver transplant.
