Re: Pancreatic Divisum - heidi

Hi Heidi,

Thanks for the information, and to everyone else too.

As far as the ERCPist: yes it is a new doctor that is performing

this - I went to entirely different hospital in the city to get a second

opinion and he is willing to assume the diagnosis and treatment

of this. I didn't think of what you pointed out - that a new person

may see the bile system / pancreas differently than the previous

doctor. I was more intent on getting a doctor to even think that my

pancreas was worth looking into that I didn't think of the actual

procedural interpretations. In addition, he is going to do and

endoscopic ultrasound - which I understand is not something

that is done very often. So to me, it sounds as if he is going to be

looking for signs of chronic pancreatitis in addition to the duct

anomalies. So now there is another thing that may end up for

the better.
