Omg, Couchies... if any of you remember what I shared about my USA friend? Where she recently gained access to a Patient Portal and had apparently not been told about a stroke and non-alcoholic liver disease?

I checked with her and she made a Facebook post. It wasn't wrong, they didn't tell her, and it wasn't in her hospital discharge/release papers.

Her liver is falling - non alcoholic chronic liver disease, with corresponding signs on bloodwork over a 5 year period. CT scan noted stroke.

They didn't tell her. She took the results to Urgent Care as her regular GP is super booked, and the doctor said likely Drug Induced Liver Damage.

Accidental overdoses of Tylenol and NSAIDs since teenage years as her mother's doctor apparently suggested that as my friend has excruciating menstrual pain from endometriosis.

She's in Arizona.
