Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Where did you have your surgery? I agree with Margaret,where I work when there is a splenectomy the pt is given several vaccines. Margaret explained it bueatifully. YOu need to talk with your doc. When is your next appointment? You had the tail of you panc removed and you were not referred to an endocrinologist for diabetic education. You should have been even before you were discharged from the hospital a Diabetic Nurse educator should at least stopped by to see you. I am a nurse and I am very very sorry that you were discharged without being properly prepared to care for yourself. YOu will have to call that doc and get case manager in his office do what she is supposed to do, Most docs have offices like that. they did a terrible injustice to you Tammy, and you need to know how to care for yourself. Good luck and keep me posted. I will be gone next week but will look for you when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
