Good questions when searching for your Dr.

[Guest guest]

I spoke with Nora Coffey with the *Hers foundation, and while I am

not necessarily a proponent for them, she gave me some valuable

information!

Questions to ask when searching for the Dr. who is going to perform

your myo:

1.How many myos have you performed? How recent are they?

2. How many of them turned into a Hyster? (2 out of 50 is too many)

3. How many Blood Transfusions have you had to have for your

patients? (2 out of 50 is too many)

4. How do you control bleeding during surgery? (should be perssion

(sp?) or vaso perssion (sp?) or tournaquet (sp?)

Lastly she said to read the consent form carefully and, rather than

sign it at the Dr.'s office take it home and change anything that

needs changing ie: giving permission to perfom a hyster!

Anyone searching for a myo Dr. should at least have a consult with

them before hand. They enlightened me. I think they may be able to

refer a Dr to you as well, not sure.

*Hers foundation, as far as I can tell, is a group of woman set out

to help woman seek alternatives who have been told they need a hyster.

Their number is 888-750-hers
