She took the pill cam this morning. The doctor had to go to bat for her with our insurance, BCBSTX as they wanted to review and do a pre-authorization. The doctor pointed out her red blood cell count has dropped again and she might end up back in the hospital for a transfusion which will cost a whole lot more than the pill cam.
The doctor told us the camera will take about 7 hour to pass through and we don't need to recover it or return it. He said he had one patient with a very fast digestive track who saw it pass out and the LED was still flashing so she fished it out of the toilet, washed it off and swallowed it a second time!
This whole idea of a camera inside you reminded me of that movie "Fantastic Voyage" so we watched it last night on TV. Pretty cool special effects for the time it was made.
