catheter placement
I've been reading that feeding the catheter via the radial artery at the wrist is preferable for a couple reasons. If there's unwanted bleeding it's much easier to stop in the arm than in the abdominal. There's no need to have to lie flat on your back from 2 to 6 hours after the ablation is completed

I got the call!
I just wanted to share my positive news and encourage those of you waiting for a transplant. 4 weeks ago I got the call saying they had a suitable kidney for me. I have been on the list for 3 years and had haemodialysis for 2 years. Shock, joy, disbelief, excitement and anxiety all kicked in at once

There is fun to be had and there's always room for change
Hi guys, first of all, I'd just like to say what a great site this is, and thank you for allowing me to be part of your community. I've been a renal patient at St James' Leeds for longer than I care to remember (43yrs!) *Groan* In that time I've met the great and the good, been to hell and back, but

A positive A&E experience
There has been so much comment about bad hospital experiences that I thought I should report a good one. Last night, just as the death of the Queen was announced, my husband was taken ill with acute abdominal pain. I phoned 999, got a quick reply and a sympathetic response and an ambulance crew arrived

I have a wonderful Solicitor
hi everyone, it’s been a while since I last posted my updated news. My divorce has been put on hold for whatever reason which I do not understand. I payed out 600 pounds for flights and accommodation but had to cancel due to the above. I am feeling so much better than before as I was in a mess physically

Trialing disimpaction
My 4 year old has been having very soft stool leaks on and off for most of her potty training life. We have had periods of several weeks at a time where she is absolutely fine and then the accidents begin again. The doctors felt her tummy and didn't think it felt like she was constipated, but after

Does Probiotic help with bloating
Hello everyone, wondering if anyone has used a probiotic from a British Company called “BetterVits” it has good reviews but is expensive. I. Prepared to pay if it gets good results. £60 for 3 bottles of 30 or £40 for 1 bottle. They do give a 60 day money back guarantee. The tables contain Lactobacillus
