Run some anti-malware on the PC...☕

I will give that a shot. I truly appreciate the effort...

The latest drivers are already installed—I've checked twice. Do you think I should attempt a clean reinstall of the current ones, or perhaps roll back to an older version?

For no apparent reason, this printer outputs half a page perfectly fine, while the bottom half turns into complete gibberish—it’s like looking at hieroglyphics. And it isn't even consistent—sometimes it works, but most of the time, it's just wrong. It would be easier to troubleshoot if the entire font was garbled, but since it's only partial, I'm stumped...

The OS is Windows XP. This keeps happening regardless of whether I'm printing from Microsoft Word, a PDF, or even an online banking statement. Any ideas? 🤷

🙂 🙂 🙂 We finally scheduled the ERCP! It’s happening in Washington, D.C. next week;
along with an angiography—which should hopefully provide enough data for the surgery.
I have to admit, getting to this point was an uphill battle; it feels like the system
is purely autarkic—it looks functional from the outside, but once you're actually inside,
you realize it's mostly just people improvising and making do.
DESPITE THE SYSTEMIC FAILURES, PEOPLE LIKE YOU GIVE US THE STRENGTH
TO KEEP PUSHING FORWARD. THANK YOU ALL, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! PLEASE KEEP
YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR US.

Are you politely suggesting that we've been
left hanging by the surgeon? In other words—if he has already "agreed"
to the explant—shouldn't the Mayo Clinic be the ones performing the
procedure? I must reiterate—he is currently at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Do they even perform
an ERCP there? Honestly, no matter which hospital I mention,
everyone seems puzzled—it's as if nobody handles this privately...
It's terrible.

Does anyone happen to know for certain if they perform ERCP procedures at Vineyard?

It’s no secret, my dear Scott Allen10. There is suspicious activity on the TM scan—specifically one liver lesion and potential infiltration into the colon. In my view, surgery is absolutely urgent—though I am merely a layman, and this whole situation feels quite overwhelming. For context, we are looking at a seventy-year-old individual; someone who is mobile, sharp, and incredibly vital—still very much so...

Forgive me—I neglected to mention that "OUR" surgeon is from Vineyard—does that imply
that "OUR" surgeon has given up on me?

Sophia Martinez65, I appreciate you noticing my post. You mentioned these procedures are available in every major state capital? Unfortunately, that isn't the case—which is why I'm feeling quite desperate.
Around here in Chicago, it’s practically impossible; I called Manhattan, but they only focus on their own
inpatient cases—unless, of course, your surgeon calls ahead to request an
exception, or so they claim. It has nothing to do with the referral itself. "Our" surgeon is based in
NYC, and his requirement for surgery is a prior Mayo Clinic procedure; "he" won't call you—it's more like, "get that
done first, then come see us..." Elsewhere (like Brooklyn), it’s all about referrals,
and endless waiting lists... It's terrible. If this subject is "close to your heart," I sincerely ask for
your assistance—I would be grateful for help in any way possible.

Does anyone happen to know where one can undergo an ERCP procedure—and more importantly, what the process is to actually get scheduled?
Please be mindful of my request; this is a matter of EXTREME URGENCY AND GRAVITY.
Thank you in advance...
