Second Opinion in Cleveland
My son Z's tale. He had a major surgery at 7 months. Then he had a drainage tube put in at the same time. This was removed later. After two ultra sounds 3 months apart it appeared his condition was returning on one side. A discussion was had. Dr Park recommended a long needle in his kidney to help it drain. Literally pee coming out of his back. This was too much for my wife she wanted a second opinion. We rushed to Cleveland and came back in agreement with Dr Park. It required a very short surgery by an anethesian. Then we cared for a bag of urine for 3 months. Then another ultra sound. Then another surgery. This was very close to his 1st birthday. It was hugely traumatic for my wife. My son was able to take nasal amnesia drug. He didn't bother his back tube much since he hardly knew it was there. He had been on anti-biotic since birth bactrin. Unfortunately he got an infection. Dr Park said the infection was like being in NY. He also said the meat of the kidney with his thick Korean accent. He said it breathed a sigh of relief. The surgery to fix the kidney went well. 3 weeks later on a bench between surgeries Dr Park removed the tube by hand. Glad to be rid of that thing.
