Perhaps they feel it's a step up from issuing a half-a-bar from the previous patient ;-)
Yes on the Dr.
He is a $222 per hour GI specialist and worth every dollar.
We have a rule in our home due to my sons medical needs and OTOH my needs we never share a Dr. but in this case OK.
Reason being is I have been a guest in the "Arena" and have seen him work first hand with a full explaination while the procedure on my son was being done. He also has taught me to do my sons button changes saving us trips or ER calls for day surg.
and his repor with respect to the fact that I do my utmost in caring for my son and seek knowledge in doing so.
The local GI guy wanted to remove part of my intestine due to re occuring infections. Well I changed my diet two years ago (took me two prior to perfect it for myself) and that had a drastic change on the infections. Still the local guy told my doctor surgery, hence I got a second opinion and used my son's doc who looked at my do's and don't diet list and had seen I have only had infection once a year for past two, both a reaction to diet change IMo and both at the same date a year apart.
Also all my upper GI bleeding ulcers and reflux has been resolved by diet and lifestyle change.
He reported to my family doctor that surgery is not a need as long as I have no more than one infection a year.
I am pushing for none this year.
