Yes, I told him today I was going to just go to Miriam...I hate Kent, they have no clue what they are doing, after 5 Clots its time for a second opinion , This is nothing to fool with, at worst it will kill you and with all this numbness in the leg for a couple months now, there is really some permanent tissue damage done..A loss of a limb is a possibility also, Kent is the worst hospital in the state...But he insisted..
Steve has been walking with a cane as of late and has not fished at all.Anyway, I will be there for him and keep everyone posted.. |

Hey Bill.... Best wishes to him. He won't remember me as I only met him once at the shop. He's lucky to have a friend like you to get him where he has to go and keep an eye on him. Good for you and him. Keep the faith.

Boston is not too far away. They have some of the best up there.
This is really unfortunate. Tell him we are pulling for him.

Billy tell him I'm wishing him well and hope he fully recovers very soon.
And I agree, Miriam & RI Hospital are the only places I'd go in RI with a serious medical issue.

There has to be something throwing those clots. Its time to stop screwing around with amatuers and go to
BOSTON! He must be on cumiden or something just like it, and still having the same problem it just isn't appropriate. Prayers being said as I type this.

I agree wholeheartedly. WE just had a bout of clots with my grandfather. (He is 88) He has been on Coumadin for approx 50 years. So when it was found out to be a clot in his leg the doctors at Brockton Hospital were dumbfounded. His hemotoligist was called in.
. His red blood cell count is too high due to a blood disorder. ( a form of cancer that attacks the bone marrow) The bone marrow is making his body produce extra red blood cells (I don't remember the technical term) For now we have him on a daily injection of lovinox (?) and hydroxyurea (sp?). In addition we have to take him once a week to be bled.
I guess the point I am trying to make is a second opinion sounds like it is needed. Something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Being stubborn could have bad consequences. I hope it doesn't and wish him well. |

Billy,
Its awesome that steve has a friend like you to take care of him when stuff goes wrong. Very admirable 
Tell Steve that "Block Island guy" I dont know why, but thats what he calls me, sends his best. Tell him we've all got him in our thoughts and wish him a speedy recovery. |
Domination takes full concentration..

thats character !
I hope it all works out for steve . But he needs to LISTEN . blockages are no joke . I have had 2 cleared myself and do a lot to stop them from forming again now. In steves defence its about what he finds comforting . He is comfortable and confident with his doctor .
give him my best |

Brigham & Women's in Boston is the place to go. Tell Steve to quit screwing around and get to Beantown before something drastic happens like losing a leg or worse! Hope he gets well soon. |
Why even try.........

I agree with BassDawg , Why aren't the docs at Kent actively seeking help from Boston or elsewhere.
Get Well Soon Steve !!
