I was having a pain in my abdomen. I went to my gastroenterologist the next day. He sent me to have a C.T. scan at the Methodist Diagnostic Center. The radiologist called me on the way to the emergency room at Methodist Midtown and said I had acute appendicitis. I told the doctor on staff that was the diagnosis. A team of residents and I assume with an attending physician checked my stomach area. I had said that I had diverticulosis on my last colonoscopy 4 years ago. They chose to put me on antibiotics fasting for 4 days. I was better (they said) for two days but began to get worse to the point where they decided to do surgery. I now have a seven inch scar, no belly button, and a bulge above my belly button. I feel that if they had taken the advice of the radiologist at the diagnostic center, they would have proceeded right away with an appendectomy. I have the results described that weren’t necessary.
