Mr. Stein's clinical situation
improved dramatically after his sphincterotomy
and release of the impacted stone.
-
The pain, nausea and scleral
icterus are gone.
-
His labs are improving, but
things are not normal yet.
-
The surgeon has reviewed his
case, talked with him, and they've decided the gallbladder goes.
-
His surgery will have to wait
until his pancreas cools off, several weeks in all likelihood.
-
His fasting blood sugars have
not been elevated, so hopefully his pancreas is still in good shape. Time
will tell.
The take
home message.
