Jean,

You wrote, " had been in hospital since sat but the so called dr she had

came in and told her he could do nothing for her, she just had the flu, and

her levels were not high enough to be having a pancreas attack. "

There needs to be a mass orientation program for ER doctor's! Did she not

see a GI specialist? Do they not understand that she has chronic, not acute

pancreatitis?

Re: IU ER. This sometimes works. I actually showed up at IU ER and simply

refused to leave until I was referred to a pancreatologist. That was lengthy and

required extensive tests. They finally admitted me in an observation bed.

The next day the round of GI residents came and discharged me, but I still

refused to go until I saw a pancreatologist. I told them was still in pain and

I

would leave but would simply walk right back down to the ER. They finally got

Dr. Sherman up there who did further tests and admitted me with chronic

pancreatitis.
