I have a drain installed in my liver. recently, the drain tube began leaking under the dressing when I flushed it. now there is no fluid at all in the drain tube. I went to the VA ER on Friday, but no surgeon was available. they sent me home with extra dressings and instructions to apply a new dressing every time I flushed the drain. it was just Thursday when a fresh scan of my liver was conducted and determined the drain had more work to do. why would there be no fluid at all in the drain tube? No surgeons at the VA on weekends.
