Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 If he would have stayed with us maybe I could have found out more about the Dr he saw at Dartmouth. I do find it strange that the doctors he has now are so against Dartmouth. > > > > If you live in westen Mass why are you going to Boston?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Don't worry about it Francis. Sometimes people get a little touchy. Val From: hyperaldosteronism [mailto:hyperaldosteronism ] On Behalf Of Francis Bill OK I need help If my questions here seem pushey I would like to know and will try to do better. Also this is my other questions I asked him hyperaldosteronism/message/17469 He does seem to have left the group as his email no longer comes up in search. > > Called four doctors in the Springfield area and posted results last week. I am going to Boston because Dr Grim suggested a doctor there, my PCP will work with that doctor to manage my treatment locally. > > But have to say I am pretty fed up with your questioning my every move, I don't find it the least bit helpful. > > I am going to drop out of the group now. > > Thanks to all that contributed constructive guidance. > > Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I understand how people are I was self employed for many years. I also like to help people out. Sometimes in doing this I sometimes do things that seem pushy. I also understand that many of us myself included are very much on edge because of what we have been through. I didn't used to be this way. Used to have unlimited patience. More then then likey if the doctor he saw at Dartmouth was right in him haveing PA then he could have found someone close to him that would have worked with Dartmouth. I know that Dartmouth has many good doctors and most likey has someone there that knows about PA. They do kidney tranplants there. > > > > Called four doctors in the Springfield area and posted results last week. > I am going to Boston because Dr Grim suggested a doctor there, my PCP will > work with that doctor to manage my treatment locally. > > > > But have to say I am pretty fed up with your questioning my every move, I > don't find it the least bit helpful. > > > > I am going to drop out of the group now. > > > > Thanks to all that contributed constructive guidance. > > > > Steve > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I was thinking the same thing. After seeing more of your postings you aren't so bad.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Well Francis (son), I think you're not that unhealthy because you talk K and not creatinine, GFR and kidney failure. My concern has always been kidneys, since no Fx of cvd, cancer. Regards Re: Please recommend doctor in eastern Mass > > > > I understand how people are I was self employed for many years.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Francis: I would suggest that you add to your notes I am not a physician but an informed, concerned consumer of medical information (or how ever you want to describe yourself or more of your medical backgroud). I read a lot and like to pass on what I read and think. Always contact your own health care team before making any medical decisions. Clarence E.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I would think I would only have do this if I was giving medical information or medical advice. Maybe I have done this without knowing I was doing it. I have no problem adding this information to what I post if it is needed. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hopefuly If Dr Grim is right abd I have PA getting the right treatment for this will restore me back to good health. Based on what in in files about drawing blood for K that my K is lower then what most of the readings I have had done. Kidney fuction test all are normal. The growth on my kidney is something they will most likey be watching for the rest of my life. Hopefuly I will get more information on this after the CT scan next week. > > > > I think you get the " theres goes your bedside manner award " this year, > > previously held by me.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Our intro description does mention to always check with your Dr. but some may not and try to do what we suggest. I try to throw this in as well. Clarence E. Grim, BS, MS, MD Specializing in Difficult High Blood Pressure and recent evolutionary forces on high blood pressure in population's today.
