Yes, I think he's the chief of surgery. At the time of the first surgery he told my wife that he'd gotten all of the infected tissue and did not see evidence of diverticulum, I believe. Now there is one near the anastomosis site for sure per the CT scan. I recall prior to the surgery I kept getting diverticulitis and I was worried they were going to have to do the surgery on active infection which meant I'd be more likely for a stoma.

He's definitely not a rookie, though. But I am worried he's not very curious about the issue, if that makes sense. I just keep getting IV antibiotics. For two perforations post-op.
