Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I read, with interest, the posts on the manometries we all get to have. I had one at UCLA with Dr. J. Conklin, and some other physicians in the group came in to watch the results on the screen. Whilst the nurse was putting the delightful old tube down my nose, and I cannot have lidocaine (anaphyllactic shock), I gagged a lot, I threw up (not much at first, but after the tube was moved around a lot, and we changed nostrils, bile came up---a life-long problem, actually) , I tried my best to be a model patient, no complaining, sitting still, etc. But, doggone, it's one heck of a test! But, I did discover that if I could see the results as they came in on the screen, I did much better. So, Dr. Conklin brought the screen closer to me, and showed me what was going on and it was a huge difference in how I coped with that blasted wire. And, it's in a splendid array of colors, too! By the way, the posts I read today were really marvelous. What a great group of people! Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
