Hi Ed, Scott and Jen! Nice to see you all posting...
Jen, that sounds like a double whammy for your mom! Just remember though that a lot of doctors like to play it safe and won't take risky cases. Which gives the ones that do take them a bad rap when things go bad, in an already bad situation. So Dr. Death may not be a bad doctor at all, he may just be the only one willing to help. I worked in an ICU for years with docs that would not operate on someone like your mom, they would send them out so the hospital (and their) stats looked better. Instead of listening to rumors, please look at what Dr. Death really does and what his patient population is like and if they are the people that no other docs want to work with. And congrats on her not smoking, though even nicotine at this point might not be a good idea so if you can wean her off slowly that would be a great idea (I would think that you are getting the nic
juice so she wouldn't even have to know if that might upset her). I know nicotine can cause arterial spasm, but going back to cigs is the worst and what she might do if she hasn't quit nicotine completely, so if she is
vaping weaning her down might be a nice conservative approach with the best long term results. And remember I am certainly not a doctor so whatever her provider says trumps my ramblings!
Ed!!!! So good to see you posting
I think we need to hear from Pietro today too since some of you guys who seldom post these days seem to be posting. Hear that Pietro??!!!
