An informative day in the hospital

Our paediatrician talked to me this morning. All the relevant consultants now agree that it is a good idea to proceed with inserting a g-tube and performing a fundoplication. We have a tentative date booked in three weeks for the operation but this is dependant on there being an intensive care bed available after the procedure.

I also finally managed to get copy of a stack of reports that I was missing. The consultants are generally too busy to chase down reports so the best thing to do is to ask a nurse (or intern/resident/registrar) to get copies of all the reports ready for the consultant so all the consultant has to do is say "give the reports to them".
