4.10 Montefiore Tuesday

Dad had an attack at 6am this morning. He was given 1 unit of both Dilaudid and Zofran via IV. Dad had some relief but the pain came back. He was then given one unit orally and one unit in the IV of Dilaudid. He finally had relief around 8.30.

The test they used isn't very accurate. So this 24 hour urine collection that they are doing now will be the Dr. Roberts visited and said Porphyria is rare, only 1 is 100 thousand people has it. The screeningdefinitive test as to whether he has it or not. He also said it could still be the Ischimia. If this urine test comes back negative for the Porphyria, he will push for an angiogram. There is still a .1% chance that it could be a rare Carcinoid tumor.
