Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hello Everyone, Yesterday I made it to my appointment at Froedtert - a teaching hospital in Milwaukee. I was pretty impressed. The doctor spent 1.5 hours asking me questions and going over my medical records. No student doctors!! He called me a very complex woman... That I am in all aspects of my life. Guess I couldn't expect my GI problems to be simple and straight forward when nothing else about me is. Anyway, I am happy with my visit. The doc is going to try and get me admitted within the next couple of weeks for testing. This way it can be covered by the Hill-Burton act where it wouldn't be as an outpatient. Most likely I will have an ERCP because the Urinalysis is showing much the same results as it was before the ERCP with Sphinterotomy. First, of all things, he needs to write a letter explaining why I need the treatment in Milwaukee County instead of Kenosha County where I live. I doubt very seriously if they have the equipment needed to do an ERCP here in Kenosha County. Please keep me your prayers that I won't run into any road blocks to prevent me from getting treatment and testing. Thanks Everyone!!! Hope to see everyone at the Symposium!! Lots of Gentle Hugs, ReeAnn ReeAnn M. Betts ReeAnn@...
