Gallbladder problems
YES! People can die of gallbladder problems.
Two frightening examples are:
1. A gallbladder can rupture (burst)
2. Gallbladder problems can lead to cancer.
Gallbladder problems can also cause high fevers, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and severe pain. Remember that pain is a sign of a problem. Small problems, left untreated, usually become BIG problems.
Gallbladder surgery is frequently done on a outpatient basis. People often return to full function in just a few days.
If the hospital gave you a surgeon’s number, someone there thinks that you need a surgeon. Right?
