Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 , when I got on a website through google.com, it mentioned that the University of Cincinnati was a " breakthroug " medical facility for pancreatitis. What's so funny about that to me is that I just moved from there a year ago, and when I needed the stent, UC was not ready for it, so I had to travel to Indiana and Dr. Lehman. I'm not sure where you live, but if you go to google.com and just type in " pancreatitis " , I think that's where all the " great " hospitals and treatments are listed. I, personally hate Cincinnati, but I would go back there if it's really the best. I know that the UC Med Center is great, but have no more info on the pancreatic center there than what's on the website. I hope this is helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Thanks a million for the info. I am on my way back to the ER. The pain has been relentless and I'm having rectal bleeding again. Will check out the website when I get out of the hospital again. > , > > when I got on a website through google.com, it mentioned that the University > of Cincinnati was a " breakthroug " medical facility for pancreatitis. > > What's so funny about that to me is that I just moved from there a year ago, > and when I needed the stent, UC was not ready for it, so I had to travel to > Indiana and Dr. Lehman. > > I'm not sure where you live, but if you go to google.com and just type in > " pancreatitis " , I think that's where all the " great " hospitals and treatments > are listed. > > I, personally hate Cincinnati, but I would go back there if it's really the > best.
