[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 134454"] Many years ago when I was young and didn't question doctors, I was getting kidney infections all the time. Not bladder infections; kidney infections. I went to the doctor - again - and he ordered a test. I go through the fasting and whatever else is involved and the office calls a few days later to tell me that the test was normal and the doctor would call me a prescription for the 'burning in my stomach.' To which I asked, 'what burning in my stomach.' Well, the burning in your stomach you complained to the doctor about. Me: I've never complained of burning in my stomach and that's probably because I've never HAD burning in my stomach. Yep. They ordered the wrong test based on complaints I never had. Of course, I should have known better. This was the same practice that tried to tell me when I was in the ER it was only a bladder infection not a kidney infection. They were emphatic about it. Until I asked them if the hospital routinely tries to admit people with only a bladder infection. This isn't a po-dunk practice. It's the largest practice in the county. It was an urgent care doctor that finally ordered the right tests for me. And people wonder why I don't trust doctors. Pfft. [/QUOTE]
