Individual doctors for evaluations!!!!



Hello Everyone,
This is to let everyone know that I will be going to University of Pennsylvania next couple of weeks starting on the 24th though the 26th of Aug. The first day is me sitting with Individual doctors for evaluations, I guess there doing an evaluation on me to see if, I can handle the emotional stress. LMAO. That should lots of fun. The Secord day is testing to see if I’m normal and the third day is my Heart Catheterization. Hopefully I should be home the same night. Here is what they really say and do all jokes aside,
Before patients becomes lung transplant candidates, their condition and prospect for improvement with a transplant are thoroughly evaluated. At Penn, evaluation for a lung transplant occurs on an outpatient basis and typically takes place over three days. During the evaluation period, patients meet the various members of the transplant team.
During the examination, the lung transplant team helps patients become more knowledgeable about the impact a lung transplant has on them and their family. Transplant is not always the best option for the treatment of advanced lung disease and the transplant evaluation helps:
• Determine if patients have a disease that is treatable with a transplant.
• Determine the best timing for transplantation.
• Determine if patients have other medical problems that would increase the risk of a transplant.
• Provide patients with all the information they need to make an informed decision about lung transplant.
