Kidney Stones SUCK! w/an opinion of the medical system.

Post by The Conservative »

I just left the hospital dealing with Kidney Stone pain... they gave me three doses of Dilaudid while at the hospital and 15 Oxy in a bottle of 15mg a pop as a parting gift.

No surgery because they say I can pass then naturally, all seven... You know... there is a point in time where you really have to question the logic behind that... I can understand possibly one, but seven... I mean I can handle pain very well, but fucking hell... do they want me to come crawling back begging to have the stones removed because of the pain I'm going to be in?

As of now, my pain level is a 1 or 2 depending on how I move... but seriously, what is the logic behind this? The medical system really is fucking up.

Thanks, it does. But I'm more infuriated how they see seven stones and send me home with painkillers, and say pass them naturally.

Seriously?

Sorry man, drugs are cheaper than surgery.

Insurance company and the hospital don't care if you suffer.

Remember, what does not kill you, makes you stronger.

You might try again on Monday. It may be they don't have the capacity for surgery on the weekend.

I am, but they should have just outright said it instead of trying to blitz me out on drugs and send me home.

Seriously?

You do know what “surgery” is for kidney stones right?

Think what the easiest point of access is...

You’re far better passing them if you can...

My brother had stones and opted to pass them after learning of surgery....his female nurse (who has kids and alos had stones) told him passing stones hurt way more than live birth.

Drink more water and stay off the steak bombs...
