“Still verdict out on son Jeff regarding damage to gall bladder, pancreas & liver.”

What kind of hospital is it that they can’t tell. There are tests that will show what the damage is.

“A doctor or other medical professional can use a variety of tests to diagnose gallbladder problems, including imaging tests and blood tests:”

Imaging tests
“These can include ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, and cholescintigraphy. Ultrasounds are considered the best imaging test for gallstones, and can also reveal inflammation, blockages, or growths. CT scans can show gallstones and complications like blockages, and MRIs can show stones or growths in the bile ducts.”

Blood tests
“These can include complete blood counts (CBCs), liver function tests, and pancreas function tests. CBCs can look for high levels of white blood cells, which may indicate infection or inflammation. Liver function tests can help detect blockages in the bile ducts, and pancreas function tests can help detect blockages in the pancreatic duct.”

Yes they are doing all those tests Spunky. The numbers are all over the place and seem to change daily. He’s still in ICU (intermediate level) when admitted all the organs indicated failure and he was in life saving mode.

His digestive system is also damaged. Lots more. Wish it was so easy as one test, diagnosis, treatment, alls well

He’s neglected and abused his body for much of his adult life. Smoking n excess beer. There are always consequences. The pancreas apparently the organ most important

His daughter a RN is getting much more info than I am. She is his next of kin
