I wonder how many of us would be permitted a week in the hospital for this same procedure?
I had a kidney tumor removed a few years ago. It was an angiolipoma. I don't know if that is what Melania had or not.
Mine was found when I went to er for pelvic pain. It was not the cause of the pelvic pain, and I was referred to my regular dr, who informed me I had a kindey tumor. He sent me to a specialist. The specialist said we would just watch it. I ended up getting a second opinion and he said we would watch it, too. So, every 6 months, I had to get an cat scan or mri, and when it grew to 5 cm they removed it, saying it could start bleeding and I could literally bleed to death.
We have had insurance since we have been married, 30 years ago, so I did have insurance at the tme.
But, my drs all chose to wait in my case. From what I saw on the news earlier, that was not the case with Melania, if what was reported on HLN was accurate.
And I was suppose to go home the day after the surgery, but was so sick from anesthesia I had to stay an extra day. Still was not there all week.
I do wish Melania all the best and I feel for her.
