I took my multihandicapped child in for not passing urine as she should. He had a Doppler and said "well, there's urine in her bladder." That is the problem, she's not letting it out, she's not wetting! He said "I wouldn't worry about it, there's worse ways to die than kidney failure."
Had he been a real doctor he would have ordered an abdominal ultrasound, thus discovering a rapidly growing mass off an ovary which was impinging her urethra and bladder, causing it difficult and painful to pee.
If POTEET's issue was ineptitude or ignorance, triple disgust if his comment of worse ways to die than kidney failure. Triple down on the negatives. He looked at her visible disabilities and blew her off with the just let her die. None of the doctors in that office did their homework or their job. Look for alternatives from this clinic as been there done that.
By the way ALWAYS get a second opinion. My daughter was taken to a new doctor who did the work, found the mass, referred her to the GYN as at this point mass and ovary had to be removed. She's had surgery and they don't feel she'll ever need to see a urologist again. read more
