Re: Pancreatic Divisum - Laurie

Dear Laurie,

That's good to hear. I've learned to really appreciate the value of

a second opinion, and to see the difference in interpretation of

radiology scans and films done by different specialists.

Hopefully this will give you another unbiased, yet detailed and

accurate picture of what is really going on.

Please let us know the results as things go along. Don't

hesitate to ask for copies of any reports of the tests this doctor

arranges for you. If you haven't been keeping a copy of all your

records, this is a great time to start. Most doctor's offices are

very cooperative in giving you this information as long as you

explain to them in the very beginning, that you wish copies of all

office visits and tests. They'll probably have you sign a waiver,

but that's no big deal.

I've kept copies of all of my medical work and it's been very

helpful, especially when dealing with another physician who

hasn't treated me before. I have so many different doctors now,

that medical folder keeps growing larger and larger!

I'll be curious to see what they find out this time. Keep us

posted.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
