John Bass was able to return to running his Sausage Factory! Read a Physician's Letter regarding medical cost savings Michael Andorsky, M.D... The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The John Hopkins Hospital, Department of Pediatrics "As director of the John Hopkins Pediatric Bowel Management Clinic, I have used the PIE* machine to remove fecal impaction and prevent fecal incontinence in children with spina bifida...this has proved to be a valuable adjunct to their bowel maintenance...the PIE* machine has reduced the need for hospital admissions for bowel evacuation...I have used it both in the outpatient department and in the patients' home." Mark A. Gilger, M.D. Texas Children's Hospital "It is my privilege to write a letter in support of the PIE*...our studies confirmed the PIE* to be safe, acceptably comfortable and most importantly, effective in removing fecal impactions in children...we also have recently confirmed the ability of the PIE* to remove serious barium impactions...we currently use the PIE* on a daily basis at Texas Children's Hospital...it is a simple alternative to expensive manual or surgical disimpaction of the rectum...I vigorously endorse the PIE* device for long-term use in children with Spina Bifida." James F. Frisbie, MD Veteran's Administration " The PIE* proved to be a great success…positive improvement regarding vital signs…not only eliminated impaction problems…one patient after 3 weeks experienced natural peristaltic action…in past year 3 KUBs (x-rays) to evaluate previous distended upper colon…noticed a definite contraction and toning of the colon…in my opinion the PIE* has prevented surgery…advised continued use of the PIE* to avoid and prevent many future medical problems." Margaret Falconio-West, RN, BSN, CGRN, CETN Highland Park Hospital " I can attest to the wonderful results of patient comfort, effective bowel evacuation, and the avoidance of surgery...these surgeries, alone, can cost up to $10,000...another beauty of the PIE* is that we were able to keep patients out of the hospital altogether, even with repeat procedures, they were treated on an outpatient basis...it is a wonderful machine…thank you for bringing it to the people that need it!" David H. Doan, MD… " My patient, I.N., who has long standing paraplegia secondary to a previous spinal cord meningioma…has been using the PIE for the past few years… the patient's pattern of recurrent hospital admission and emergency room evaluation have essentially disappeared…the PIE has been extremely effective for this patient…effective not only on her medical care but also medical costs, and has dramatically improved her quality of life…" Virginia Storey, R.N. The University of Illinois Hospital at Chicago " Since becoming acquainted with the PIE* technique, I find it viable, easily accomplished, and well tolerated by patients... therefore, I have recommended its use to physicians and nurse colleagues at other hospitals and institutions...the PIE* procedure has been used successfully on numerous patients here at our facility on an out-patient basis, thus preventing a costly, usually avoidable in-patient hospitalization." Alexis D. Butler, RN Director of Nursing East Alabama Medical Center " this is an excellent opportunity to "sing the praises" of PIE*...since we purchased the PIE*, we have used it for virtually every application it was meant to be used for: impaction removal; both inpatient and outpatient (75%), bowel prep for colectomy, colonoscopy, and radiology procedures (20%) and home health visits for impacted home bound patients (10%)...in many instances the PIE* has prevented hospitalization and/or reduced LOS thereby reducing costs." A.B., RN… " In many instances, PIE has prevented hospitalization and/or reduced LAS thereby reducing costs…" Wafaa A.Foad, MD… " My brother had autonomic hyper-reflexia in 1993 (the blood pressure was elevated with distension of bowel, rectum and bladder). This attack of sudden elevation in his blood pressure led to a stroke - bilateral cerebral hemorrhage. He recovered from the coma after two weeks to lose his speech. I wish he had the PIE* earlier. Maybe this all would have never happened. Since we have been using the PIE, our life has been much easier. He has one bowel movement every other day…regular, no bleeding, no mess, no hemorrhoids, no fissures, less time" C.H., RN… " meant shortening the length of a patient's stay in the hospital…less nursing time…PIE system used to remove impactions…again shortening patients' length of stay…requiring less nursing time…" Find out: The miracle PIE*BP and how simple it operates!
