doctors treatment of paniets

September 1, 2002

My husband is young (29) and has been DX with pancreatitis for almost

3 years now. I wonder why the cdoctors treat you as though you did

this to yourself? The 1st set of doctors theat he had said that he

did it by drinking and seems to think he up himself in this

situation. Now we have a wonderful GI specialist and he does not

treat us this way. But in the ER it right back to the some old,

same old. THis past visit to the Er we were questioned many times

about drinking and even we stated that he dosen't drink any more and

that he has not in over a ear, they still look as though we are

lying. This is a very hard disease to live with and think that all

who are fighting are very brave. My husbands Dr dosen't believe in

letting him sit a t home and take the pain meds and do nothing about

it. The surgery option to take the tail out is more for apin

management, then anything else. Thanks for listening and it is good

to know that there are other poeple around our age that are fighting

this too. It makes us not feel like on in a million.
