I went to Mayo in Rochester when doctors here locally wanted to operate on my lungs for two failed procedures to deal with pleural effusion and lung collapse after pneumonia. Hospitalization went from 3-4 days promised to 19. I caught a mysterious infection along with hospital pneumonia while at the hospital. I dealt with an arrogant hospitalist doctor. I had walked in the front door of the hospital, but after they got finished pumping me full of four different antibiotics causing liver damage, I couldn’t even walk. I went to Mayo and a wonderful pulmonologist there, named Cassandra Braun, told me my body just needed to heal. No surgery needed. She was right. I would highly recommend her.
I am sorry for what you have gone through and wish you well.
