Event Description

Additional information was received from the patient representative.They reported that nothing has been done to fix this issue yet.The patient¿s hcp is in indianapolis, which is far away from where the patient is.The patient has been in and out of the hospital and is currently in the hospital.The patient suspects that the cause of the hospitalization is because the gastric stimulator keeps getting turned off in surgery.The patient is extremely sick and can¿t keep anything down.The patient ate a few days ago, and it all came back up.They are trying to find a manufacturer representative (rep) that can help with this situation but are really struggling and getting very frustrated.They reiterated that the hcp is so far away that it¿s hard to get the patient there.
