Started as a patient at their Emory Crawford Long office in 2005 for stomach problems. For two yrs I went back and forth to that office telling them I was bleeding from my rear end and losing weight and constipated. I went to the Dr. Osborn in Douglasville,GA. The last time I saw Dr. Osborn I told him that all of my symptoms had gotten worse. I even showed him a before and after picture of my 30 pound weight loss. He said,"I think that you are too caught up in your bowel movements. If you have one every two days you should be satisfied. After I showed him the picture he gave it back and said, you lost weight so what. He told me when your mind gets depressed your gut gets depressed. I suggest you change your diet. Two weeks after this I went on vacation to VA and ended up in the hospital. I spent 3 weeks in a trauma center in VA. I was in ICU twice and I almost died. They found I had blood clots in the veins leading away from my small intestines and a rare blood clotting disorder.
