Legal Question
Phen-Phen and mitral valve prolapse
After being on Phen-Phen for several years I became concerned when I began to develope ankle swelling and shortness of breath. I went to my prescribing physician and she ordered an Echocardiogram. During the exam the tech was kind enough (since I'm a nurse in the same hospital) to explain her observations, one of which was some mitral valve prolapse. The final reading was done by a cardologist in the same physicians medical group. His findings were...normal Echo. My question is this.....I recieved two conflicting reports.....is there a conflict of interest here. I'm wondering if I should trust this MD with his eval.. I have requested a copy of the report for my records. So far it has not arrived. I'm concerned that they are trying to CYA.
