So, sorry I haven’t been posting, but I have been really sick, and getting ready for an ERCP from a Doctor I found at Vanderbilt University, that is an EXPERT in pancreatitis. I had an ERCP about 4 months ago, but I got acute pancreatits, and after that I couldn’t find a doctor that would touch me with a 10 foot pole, because of the risk of another life threatening Pancreatits. Anyhoo, I live outside of Nashville, and I am fortunate enough to live near Vanderbilt University, which is there. I finally became so ill with all of the private practice physicians, that I began to research the University Hospital and the physicians there, and their clinical specialties. That is how I found my doctor. Feel free to look it up. Google Vanderbilt University Hospital, then search for a doctor. The one I found is here at this link… cut and paste
I just had my ERCP and I have no flare up, and I feel better. I have a liver stint that will come out on it’s own in a couple of weeks. This Doctor understood my symptoms, and specializes in pancreatits. I hope this is helpful. I feel like I have found a compotent and compassionate physician that takes an interest in our condition. It’s his focus of study at Vanderbilt. If you have reached the end of your rope, and don’t know where to turn, and it’s within your reach, you may want to consider coming to Vanderbilt. What’s there to lose? I’m telling you, I was impressed, and I am quite picky when it comes to physicians. I hope this isn’t breaking the rules, but I just couldn’t hold back this info. I feel like my treatment has taken a real turn!!
