Hi Nihal, Asoka, Jey and others,
I have permission
from Renate to disclose the email I sent her this morning. I know the
attending thoracic surgeon Dr Waruna Karunaratne very well as he trained
with me. He is a very good surgeon.
I rang him now, as soon as I got your mail. He trained under me.
D
has had multiple secondaries from the bladder ca in his lungs and
pleura leading to an infected effusion - empyaema. He had done a
decortication successfully but warns that a recurrence is quite likely.
He is now extubated and comfortable. Tomorrow, if the drainage is below
200ml he will remove the tube and will consider sending him home. He’s
on chest physio and will have to continue with it.
He will mention to D that I’m in touch with him.
Regards.
Geri.
Dear Geri
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information about Derryck. I am deeply saddened by the news but pleased he is more comfortable now. We were at school then medical school and UK although I was a couple of years junior to him. We worked together as SR’s in Radiology in London. I do hope life will be kinder to him.
