Robin,
I am glad you called the ENT, even though he was rude and ignorant. He probably knows nothing about
cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease.
I always check with my Hep or transplant nurse coordinator even if my current problem is not liver related. They know best what ESLD and post transplant patients should do, and I feel more confident about
my care with their input.
If the pain gets unbearable for him, can you call the Hepatologist on call or the transplant nurse coordinator on call , if he is being seen by a transplant center, for advice? If your original ENT doc said not to use anything to stop the bleeding, I would heed his advise.
I hope you both get some rest and relief.
Susie
