Renew Dr. Trumbles Contract With Florida Hospital

Dr. Eric Trumble is Florida's only Chiari Malformation expert who is double board certified in pediatrics and adults. He also deals with and operates on childhood congenital issues of the brain and spine NO MATTER THE AGE of the patient. Florida Hospital has decided not to renew his contract, leaving thousands of patients with no time to find another doctor. Especially his adult patients. Some of which are in the middle of medical crises.

Dr. Trumble also operates on and helps patients suffering with Syringomyelia (cysts in the spinal cord that can lead to paralysis ), brain and spine tumors, tethered cord syndrome and Intracranial hypertension. Intracranial hypertension is when the cerebrospinal fluid pressure is too high. These patients must be shunted. Shunted patients must have a doctor available to treat when they fail. Not giving adult shunted patients time to transfer their care over to another doctor is irresponsible on the hospitals behalf. Dr Trumble has 2 partners who have made it clear that they will not be handling the care of any patients over the age of 17. We must stress that there is no neurosurgeon to handle the adult patients. In fact there is no other neurosurgeon in the state of Florida that handles Chiari, syringomyelia and Intracranial Hypertension with an understanding of connective tissue disorder which most of these patients have. 

Florida hosptial has also imposed a "No compete claus" which prevents Dr. Trumble from practicing within a 25 mile radius of any Florida hospital. That claus should be dropped for 2 reasons. 1. There are Florida hospitals all over Florida and 2. He is the only Dr that specializes in the medical conditions mentioned, making it even more impossible to find a place to settle in so he can help his patients in dire need of prompt treatment. We would like Florida hosptial to strongly reconsider renewing his contract even if its for 6 months. He has worked and dedicated his practice to Chiari and related conditions. He has built on developing a neurosurgical team of excellence dedicated to helping these patients since 1997.
