Mark's Cyst Treatment
Read below to see how Best Doctors Insurance helped Mark's family schedule two appointments in Houston and receive the best treatment for his cyst removal.
PROBLEM
Valerie is a mother of two. One day, her 6-year-old son, Mark, was hit in the head with a football. He complained of headaches after the accident. Mark was taken to the emergency room of a local hospital, and a tomography revealed a large cyst, the size of almost a quarter of his brain. This shocking news prompted Valerie to contact Best Doctors Insurance immediately.
SOLUTION
Best Doctors Insurance helped the family schedule appointments for Mark to see two different doctors in Houston. The first said he would not operate on Mark. The second doctor was an ophthalmologist who said he believed there was another issue that needed to be closely monitored. A few weeks later, Mark began having difficulty focusing on people when he was speaking to them. This difficulty was the result of tremendous pressure on his eye. When Valerie phoned the doctor, he told
her he wanted to see Mark right away.
The family flew to Houston that night. Best Doctors contacted the hospital in Houston, and doctors were waiting for Mark the moment he arrived. He received an intervention to insert a drain the following morning. Later that day, his headaches were unbearable and he was draining blood. He had a MRI immediately followed by emergency surgery. The surgery to remove Mark’s cyst was successful, and he recovered for the next five weeks in the hospital. Recovery was challenging; for three weeks, Mark was not permitted to move. Nevertheless, Mark felt secure and happy in his surroundings. Valerie and her family are extremely thankful for the care and compassion Mark, and the entire family received during this challenging time.
