Marly Dog, have you by any chance had tests for something completely unrelated and some erroneous test results have been thrown up? That seems to happen here

Hey Jonhny, Ive had a few tests and doctors in Barranquilla that Im not 100% behind. I just want to get the best so I can walk away feeling that my health problems are not fatal.

marly dog, just wanted to say don't worry yourself overly, they do tonnes of tests here and come up with all sorts of strange numbers, then getting an appointment with a specialist is another matter, then getting a sensible opinion is quite something else.

In all probablity you are fine, you are suffering only from hysterical colombians

good news amigos, I just passed a CT scan and with an MRI cleary showed one of my problems. I got a second and they both concurred. It will take a low cost minor surgery to fix but would be worth it. But no ones cutting me until a state side doc gives me a third. I have one more test to find the other problem but they seem to be non related.
Thanks for all your info and advice.
adios
MD
