The doctors were very confused about why he had
pancreatitis as nor acute nor chronic made much sense - my husband as mentioned
does not drink, didn't take any medication, other than imodium sometimes and he had not been partying more than usual before being hospitalized. Doctors best guess was that it might be a result of malaria pills, but they said that it was only a guess.
After being discharged, he started seeing a doctor who specializes in pancreatitis, regularly.
