A Gastroenterologist in Pittsburgh to Debbie

[Guest guest]

Debbie,

While I was entering information into the Database files into the

Doctor's List, I came across a Pittsburgh Gastroenterologist that you

might be interested in calling.

His name was Adam Slivka, UPMC, 200 Lorthup St., Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Telephone

Doctors on this list are recommended by other PAI members when they

feel that they received good care. This doctor appears to be a member

of the Midwest Multi-Center Pancreatic Study Group.

Hope this information helps.

To everyone - if you're looking for a reputable doctor in your area,

please don't forget to look in our Database at the Doctor's list

that's at the top of the page. Click on that file and you may find

the answer to your doctor search questions.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

Yes, I did see Dr. Slivka and he wanted me to have the surgery

immediately. I also see Dr. Wald. I am scheduled to see him in about

two weeks. I missed an appointment a couple weeks ago. I inadvertently

missed the date on the calendar.

Since I last posted with you I have been very ill with a lung infection.

Last night fever of 103. I have a good primary and we started me back on

my IV antibiotics. With both of these diseases it is challenging some

days. Last night was one of the sickest I had ever been. They probably

should have admitted me but I would not go.

I will let you know after my appointment in megaton at the university

this week. It is so wonderful to network with people that have

experienced the same thing. Not to wish on my worse enemy.

Prayers to all. As they say " sometimes God puts us on our backs so we

may look up " . Take care and have a lovely Mother's Day. Deb
