Kaiser sent me home from a biopsy with my liver still bleeding. I lost 7.5 pints of blood. They tell me if I had waited 30 more minutes to get to the hospital, I'd be dead. My abdomen had to be vacuumed out and my liver cauterized. Since the incident, I've developed Diabetes, with no family history, and High blood pressure. Before the procedure, I had no health problems, except for a few extra pounds that I was carrying. They tell me that a normal size person would have died from this amount of blood loss, but because I'm a larger guy, it saved my life, because I carry more than the average 12 pints. Can anyone tell me if I have any other effects to look forward to ?
