This young man has quite possibly saved my life

"This young man has quite possibly saved my life"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Many years of agonising upper abdominal pain & severe vomiting. Until september this year didn't know what was cause.

Young Dr suggested a cause. Myself & my family looked into this further & the young doctor seems to be right. His handling of my situation was wonderful & very insightful. I would like to thank him personally from the bottom of my heart. I tried to cut down on what the doctor thought might be causing it but it happened again, since then I have stopped entirely & fingers crossed the abdominal pain & vomiting has ceased. This young man has quite possibly saved my life & would like him to know this. Big thanks to him.
