Hello. My name is paulette. I just came from Kaiser visiting my neighbor. It seems he has an upper bowel blockage due to twisted intestines. He has a bad heart and he is on home dialysis. His doctor told him he needs surgery to clear the blockage but his heart can t take it. If he has the surgery he will be unable to have further dialysis. So the doctor told him and his wife that either way, he is going to die. He can t eat or drink anything. Nothing will pass and he can t have a bowel movement. He is scared and his wife is livid. Isn t there something else that canbe done? Is there some hospital or center that specializes in this?
