Complexity 6-7 on a 5 point scale...

Last night Shawn's doctor (Walter) called, there was a talk this morning at Northwestern by a doctor from the Mayo clinic , Dr. Young, about diagnosing illnesses such as Shawn's. Walter and Dave both attended, while I waited for Shawn at his scan. Dr. Young said that these cases are exceedingly difficult. He said that at the Mayo their normal scale of complexity for a case is 1-5, and most of these he'd rate as a 6 or 7. Sounds to me like the upshot of this is that we may be in store for more and more tests. Carcinoid is only one of the possibilites, it sounds like there are others as well. So we could be in store for even more waiting for that right result to appear...
