Unbelievable
Here we are THREE days later, and Kari is still in the hospital, with nothing having been done, other than 2 CatScans, which, SURPRISE, showed nothing. A blockage of the valve can NOT be seen on a CS. Obvious to everyone, except Dr Wolters, who is probably the most obnoxious jerk, in the guise of a doctor, that I have ever met. Won't go into all the particulars, but after ignoring her, then questioning the fact she even HAS a problem, finally showed up today and said he was planning to do exploratory abdominal surgery, to see if her shunt is draining properly. After explaining how dangerous such surgery is, he wouldn't answer me when I asked, "Why not check it from the other end, that's where you're gonna have to do any repair, and that's where the problem has ALWAYS been before?" He gave me a BS answer, so I asked, "If you have to see if it drains, why not do it with dye, like Dr. Winston did? It is MUCH safer, and this is my ONLY daughter" Oh yeah, he also said Kari would HAVE to have her head shaved (40 days before her wedding). She has had approx 8 other brain surgeries, and never had it shaved before. Bottom line, after a confrontation, Kari now is being transferred to her old Dr, a person I trust, totally unlike the jerk in the white coat at St Anthony's. And it only took THREE days...
