I’m pretty sure he needs to see an internist,seeing that this has to do with his pancreas & respiratory system. You could always walk into a hospital emergency room and then have him transferred to UMC when they do get a bed. Bet it would be much faster than to wait.
Best of Luck

I did a search for doctor’s treating CF on the internet. The only ones I could find are at UMC. However, since your husband has CF, he should be allowed to get a bed at the Children’s Hospital there. I would go to an emergency room and ask for a transfer. Here in Ohio, local doctors won’t treat CF, no matter how old they are they have to go to the CF clinic at Children’s Hospital. Good luck!!! I hope this hospital stay helps him out!!!
you can drive here to Little Rock Arkansas and go in through the ER to UAMS. Dr. Anderson is pretty awesome.
