I've had two other surgeons look at me and all say that I'm not a candidate for surgery. He's only being a good physician. My HIDA scan shows a poor ejection fraction one time, and then normal the next. As such, the surgery is elective, and the insurance won't pay for it, and I can't afford $12k."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Do you have pain when you have the HIDA scan? If yes, then acalculous cholecystitis is the Dx and it is not elective.

No, I don't. I just have the bowel-shaking spasm that the stuff they give you causes.

I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday at 10:45AM. It doesn't matter what I eat now; the pain is constant now, and I'm not really able to cope without pain meds.
I'm praying that the surgeon will take the damned thing out this time. I can't afford another $4k in medical bills (with insurance) to have them do nothing again.
This is going to be a long weekend."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

In all seriousness, I'm in a lot of pain and CUF takes my mind off the pain. If I get snippy with someone, please bring it to my attention. I don't want to bring my misery on anyone else.

I'm in hell. Vicodin's just making me sick to my stomach and I can't eat anything. I'm to the point where I don't want to take Vicodin because I don't feel any better when I do. I'm hoping the surgeon will just operate tomorrow. I've got to get some relief. These last 18 months have been hell and I can't take it anymore.

I have an appointment tomorrow at 10:45AM. It can't come soon enough. I'm not going to the ER because it'll cost me about $3k-$4k to do it that way vs. $700 if I wait and have outpatient surgery.Originally posted by Solon View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Good luck, I hope they finally take the damn thing out. You have suffered enough with this thing!
