Larry has been very sick yesterday and this morning from the new antibiotic they have him on. He cannot keep any food down. Another Consult with the Infectious Disease Doc coming up.
Yesterday was very frustrating concerning the use of Probiotics. Antibiotics destroy the good bacteria in the gut. The Dr's know this. Why don't they automatically put their patients on a Probiotic? The US is the only country that does not do this. Two different Dr's would not approve its use even though Larry's oncologist did. Well, I went out this morning and bought PB8 for him. It is one of the best non-refrigerated brands. It is now sitting proudly on his tray table. When he gets home I will start him on Flora3 that needs to be kept in the fridge.
Even his nurses, who are from Europe it seems, cannot understand the Dr's fighting me on this. They told Larry to just take what I purchased. Why is everything I discuss with the Dr's a disagreement?
