Sorry to hear of your and the other DCers' ills. May it be that your nightmarish episode is now past tense. That surely stinks/stank/stunk.

Andy mate has anyone mentioned kidney stones?
Wow Andy it sounds pretty bad to be sick in your part of the world. My husband has been unwell with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma for two years, he had a donor bone marrow transplant 7 months ago and so far all tests are cancer free, but believe me I totally sympathise with the catheters and pain and horribleness of illnesses. We have never encounted anyone as inept at their job as that dr you described. I have a Paramedic background and worked very remote areas for many years, this site seems to attract medically trained people. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better, drink heaps of water as you have prob been told.
Actually kidneystones don't generally hurt at the kidneys, or even necessarily start there. They hurt throughout the urinary tract. Believe me, I know.No. All my issues are South of the kidneys.
Andy M. said:I'm back from the removal process and feel great! It was immediate 100% relief. I feel normal again except for some residual soreness in the "area".

Andy, sounds like you might want to eat some Stonyfield organic yogurt to compensate for the side effects of the antibiotics.
I decide to keep up with the trend and yesterday, whole day was working on trying to pass a kidney stone, without any pain killers. That was fun let me tell you. NOT. I am still working on that today, but at least I got some good drugs. Doctor told me the pain is comparable to labor pains, oh my.

My Consultant Darth Vader is going to Laser Zap my stones next month. They give you a general then stick a laser probe up your smekkle and start playing space invaders.They can do that with Shock waves delivered from outside the body, they are used to break up the stone.
Haven't heard of laser use.
