Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I am very frustrated with my husband's doctor today. I had called and left a message with the nurse about his abdominal pain. I explained that he said it was a heartburn-like pain but wasn't heartburn. I was told to have him take prilosec otc and not worry about it. His bloodwork had also come back showing that the bilirubin is STILL raised, going on 3 months now, and was told that the doctor is not worried about it. Now if the liver is possibly enlarged because the spleen can't be seen on ultrasound, his eyes are yellow, his bilirubin is elevated, and he has some pain in his abdomen, doesn't that seem like the doctor should look into things a little more? He keeps saying there is nothing to be concerned about. Does that sound right? I am going to try to get him in to a different doctor for a second opinion. I don't know how long that will take. wife to Rick- crohn's, psc, spondyloarthropathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I would definitely see someone else! How does your insurance do with an ER visit? Also is this his primary care doc if so does he have a GI guy?? FRUSTRATED/psc related?
