help i need a referral


who knows a dermatogolist and opthamologist i can speak to?  i really want to text or speak with them tonite.  corins shingles are extremely concerning to me.  i want to show a doctor a picture and get their opinion. her swollen eye doesnt allow them to take a baseline assessment of vision.  and the blisters on her forehead are oozing into that swollen eye.  i am not getting timely coherent answers from the hospital.   they change staff so frequently no one seems to know what is going on.

  1. i heard from lots of people. thank you! i waited 3 hours to hear from the hospital staff about this particular matter. they are starting a treatment of antibiotics at 9pm tonite. and a topical cream. they explained why they are not concerned about her vision and i was satisfied with the answer. we can call it case closed for now

  2. Mark, I’ve talked to a good friend of mine we who is intensivist/ICU doc here at U Penn and she said:
    it’s mostly symptom management but you can take an anti - retro viral to shorten duration
