in june, and again in july, I was taken to er for severe abdominal pain and blood-loss. Er doctors were informed I have a shunt draining fluids from brain which has had drain blockage issues (balooning in belly). Discharged both times being told shunt was ok.Bleeding, and pain continued. Gi dr dicovered in September that the July scan stated the shunt was coiled in the abdominal area, and one lung is also partially collapsed. Upon collection of all scan reports we have found that these issues were reported to er in June, and in July, yet not passed onto me nor my family dr in EITHER case. Now, October, constant pain, and bleeding still continues, neurosurgeon has been brought in due to... a coiled shunt . Been off work through all of this with constant pain while family dr guesses at cause
