Gastroenterologist Visit

They had told my parent that a few of my red blood cells had a malfunction they started to break down. They had told my parents that I had something called sickle cell which is a group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down. I never really understood what that meant but I just knew that I had a weak heart and that I never really played gym in school because they said I had “Limitations.” I never really knew what it meant but I just went along with it. A year later on March 11, 2008 I was back in the hospital because I needed surgery on my heart. I remember waking up after surgery and seeing my mom crying and asking my dad if I was going to die. I never really thought that was a possibility but I just pushed it to the back of my mind so I wouldn’t think about it. But turned out dieing was a possibility but I didn’t die, but the doctor told me that I could never be on a sports team and I could never play gym. I never really took it to the heart because I was only five I told myself that it was not the end of the world. That all changed a few months later and I was 6 now and it was a nice day on October 23 2008 and I was at the park with my dad and my older brother and they started to play baseball while I watched. After watching them play for a while I wanted to play so my dad pulled out a softball and a glove and I started to play on my own. I sucked at first but after a while I was really good. I remember on the same day I asked my dad if I could play on a team but she said no because of my “limitations.” Later that day I asked my mom and she took to play on a rec center team even though I wasn’t allowed and that's how it all started. And know I have played softball ever since and my

The process of receiving and affording healthcare was, at the time, out of reach. Once my family was able to attain healthcare insurance, doctor visits were unpleasant. The physicians struggled to comprehend my parents’ needs, while my parents simultaneously struggled to understand the diagnoses provided by the physicians. These instances led to the frustrations of the physicians because of the communication barrier, which led to their inability to do their job at their full potential. Due to this dilemma, our visits to the doctor were few and far between.

March 15th, 2010, was a completely normal day. As normal as any day is for a twelve year old homeschooler. I was home with my oldest sister Brittany who was twenty at the time and I was just finishing up my homework for the day. After finishing up my math work I went to go watch television in the living room. Brittany was in her room and my parents didn't get home until later because of work. A few hours into my movie, my stomach started to hurt. Since I was twelve I didn't no the differences of pain so I just left it alone for a while. Later in the day my abdomen was aching so much I couldn't even get off the couch. After wailing for Brittany to call Mom I was sent to the emergency room in an ambulance with severe abdomen pain. After several hours in the ER and multiple tests, doctors found nothing. I was sent home and was told to take Tylenol for the pain. Once I got home, it didn't hurt anymore so I thought they were right and that I could just go on with my crazy life as a twelve year old. I was wrong. Two months after, I got the same

Imagine being one of the people who has helped in the creation of many different medical advances. From the first polio vaccine, to the effects of radiation, to the study of how being in outer space affects human cells. Now imagine that even though you were apart of all of these amazing medical advances, your own family can’t even afford health insurance or medical care.

Our visits to the emergency room, annual physicals, and checkups were often put on hold because of insurance issues, which lead to my family having negative health outcomes in the long run.

Since I was a child, my parents both suffered from medical conditions. My father became diagnosed with diabetes and became an addictive alcoholic due to irrational mistakes. While my

After the age of twenty-two I was no longer able to be on my mother’s health insurance and because I was not pregnant, I did not qualify for any type of state insurance. At this time I was working at a restaurant that did not offer health insurance, and was only making minimum wage. Being diagnosed with epilepsy the year before, I started looking at what I could find for private health insurance. Due to my epilepsy diagnoses, most insurance companies would not even talk to me, and the companies that did could only offer me plans that would cost me four hundred to six hundred dollars a month. I was only making around twelve hundred dollars a month, and I was not able to afford to pay that much money for health insurance. So instead of going to the doctors like I needed too, I only would only go to the ER when my health got bad.

Growing up, I was ill and in the hospital frequently. Most of these instances were due to Crohn’s disease, but my first trip to the hospital had nothing to do with my stomach or immune system. For my eighth birthday I had gotten my ears pierced. I was extremely paranoid about the earring falling out and the hole closing up. This resulted in me forming a habit of pushing the backs of the earrings on as hard as I could. Eventually, I realized that I could no longer feel the backs of my earrings. I tried to take the earrings out to change them, but they would not come out of my ears. I decided that I wasn’t worried about it, because at least I knew they weren’t going to fall out. When I finally told my mom, she wasn’t able to get the earrings

Around the end of January I began to feel ill. I was becoming weaker, I couldn’t even stand in the shower by myself. I lost around 10 pounds too. In the beginning of February, I went to the doctor with my mom. The doctor said we shouldn’t worry about it and it was probably just the flu. She also took a couple blood tests just in case it was something else. My mom took me to work with her, because she didn’t want to leave me alone at home. Later on that day, the doctor called my mom and told her to bring me into the hospital as soon as possible. At the time I had no idea what diabetes was. I was only 8 years old. It was February 9, 2007, and I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes. I ended up staying in the hospital for that whole week, and stayed

Access to health services is often related to having a health insurance. In most of cases both terms go hand in hand, however, this does not always happen in that way. Five years ago, my mother suffered a myocardial infarction. It was an unexpected situation for my family, especially for me. My mother was only 54 years, and the doctors did not ensure her survival. Several weeks after my mother miraculously recovered, the cardiologist who treated her recommended the realization of a catheterization to place a stent in the affected artery. My mother

The doctor paid no attention to my behavior and made me lie down. He opened my eyelid and began examining me. He was very quick about it. He then sent me away and told an official nearby that I was fine. This relieved me, and I waited outside for my father to finish. Fathers check-up took longer than usual and that set me worrying; what would I do in this world without my father. I prayed to God to let him be ok. After 2 hours of tedious waiting my father finally came out, he had an H marked on him. He told me that he had a heart defection and would not see me for maybe weeks. I immediately got scared and held on to him. An officer yanked me away and took me to a

It was 1992, I had saved $1250, and I decided to take my brother up on an offer to move from California to Arizona and rent a room from him for a few months for a change of pace and location while I thought things throughout my future. During that time I looked at many different career paths, I thought about joining the Air Force, working construction, but eventually came to the conclusion that furthering my education with a degree would be my best option. My parents had offered to let me live at home while I was in school, so I thought I would stay with my brother for another couple months, then head back to California. A couple weeks after coming to this conclusion we received a call from our parents telling us my dad had been diagnosed with a brain

The difference between diagnostic and surgical endoscopy. Diagnostic endoscopy involves diagnosis of illness inside of the body using a endoscope. Surgical endoscopy is a procedure where surgery is done. I will code the procedure under the code that bundles them together. In the CPT book it mention surgical endoscopy always includes diagnostic endoscopy. That tells me they will be bundle together. Can just code as surgical.

A gastroenterologist must first complete a 3-year internal medicine residency and they are then eligible for additional specialized training (fellowship) in gastroenterology. This fellowship generally takes about 2-3 years to finish, so by the time a gastroenterologist has completed their training, they have had about 5-6 years of additional specialized education training after medical school. They will also receive dedicated training in endoscopy by expert instructors, that way they have the knowledge they need to perform an endoscopy if needed. Some may also get directed training in advanced procedures using endoscopes, such as an endoscopic biliary examination. A gastroenterologist is required to continue their education in order to keep
