Doctors are frustrating me. My husband has a kidney infection. He’s had it for about two months but it didn’t start bothering him until about 3 weeks ago. We went to the Er and found out he had a kidney infection and a kidney stone. They gave him antibiotics and sent him home to pass the stone. A week goes by and he’s throwing up again and goes back to Er. They give him a different antibiotic and send him home after they confirm he still has the stone and infection. Another week goes by and it still getting worse and they decided to take out the stone because he should’ve passed it by then and he’s not getting better. They took it out this Monday and they placed a stent. He continued to get worse and was almost septic by the time he came to the Er last night. The urologist came in today and said the reason he has a kidney infection is because of the stone removal. He had the infection before they did anything and she’s telling me I’m wrong. Smh

@ek620, right, I said primary should’ve given the referral. Primary care is what pcp stands for lol. I say the same thing (jack of all, expert in nothing) about family doctors too 😬
Oh my goodness I see why u r frustrated. Sounds like there dumb at that hospital. I would of went off.
@mommytok, I agree. ER doctors are jacks of all trades, so not really experts in everything. They usually don’t do a referral & instead say to follow up with your PCP. The PCP then makes the referral.
Just to be devils advocate for a minute and defend the ER, his primary care should’ve referred him to a urologist who he should’ve seen regularly through this. The ER isn’t the best place for regular care.
@garay88 I feel this way too. My mom had gall bladder problems for months and every time she'd go into the ER, they'd give her morphine or fetnal and send her home instead of running tests to figure out what was wrong.
Some doctors suck. And sadly this won’t be the last time he’ll have stones and infections
Has anybody had a UTI even after antibiotic ?
Has anybody else had a kidney infection while pregnant ?
You can tell by the way he’s acting that he has a ear infection and a temp ranging from 102 to 104.2. He’s such a sweet boy. I just wish he would start feeling better. Seeing your babies sick is the hardest! 😢
I have a tooth that's infected and it just started hurting yesterday..dentists around me are all closed so has anyone ever went to the ER and gotten antibiotics for a tooth infection?
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
@mommytok, we did see a urologist as well as go to the Er because his infection kept getting worse and when we called each time they said to go to the Er
