Only 10% – 20% of these patients ever become symptomatic and almost all of these patients have at least one episode of biliary colic before experiencing more significant complications such as pancreatitis or cholangitis. Thus, almost all patients with asymptomatic gallstones should be managed expectantly, epecially as cholecystectomy is an invasive procedure with well-described serious morbidity and mortality risks. However, there are a few subsets of patients where prophylactic cholecystectomy should strongly be considered. Patients with chronic hemolytic syndromes generally should be managed with elective cho...

Sorry about that. My last post of substance was on April 5th (where I gave up arguing with some crazy bitch and filled scripts early against my better judgment), and that was exactly one month ago. Oddly enough, my short post from April 21 has been one of my most commented on posts! Where have I been you ask? Well, I moved for one! Same town, different neighborhood. Got a great deal! In the move, however, I hurt my back and have been dealing with that — as well as the complete bitch that it is to move any damn way. [And I didn't have internet for almost 2 weeks because Charter continued to show their incompetence.] Things have started to settle back down, and I’m on the mend. If you have emailed me since early April, and your email is something wh...

Perhaps her energy stems from the fact that she is asymptomatic and feeling quite well.About her health and her husband's campaign, Edwards says, "I feel good and honestly, the campaign is more helpful. I don't sit at home and worry about what's going to happen to me a year from now, two years from now, 10 years from now. I take a pill in the morning and that's when I think about cancer. No other time of the day do I think about my cancer."While she does admit she doesn't want to push herself too hard, she doesn't worry about the accompanying her husband, Democratic presidential candidate ...
