Happy,
No more for that urologist. File complaints with insurance and hospital, get
any co pays back you can for poorly performed services (gotta love them
credit cards- they'll back you) . Suggest the insurance also not pay and
true as it is your 4 day stop in the hospital was withdrawal, brought on by
doctor bonehead. No problem with Toradol. The remaining kidneystone is
another cause for action, by which I mean actionable cause. Lawyers are on
TV hounding us about oxycontin, fentanyl, using their ambulance chasing
tactics as fear weapons. Half the "Lawyers" section should be willing to
chase this ambulance for you for nothing. You want your lawyer to get his
name above the fold in your local paper, the quack too. The patient asked
not to be identified.
And you will have a case that CP'er's should not be ignored in acute
situations, due to pre existing medications. I present my case to my pain
doctor later this week on that very issue, having been impaled through
the... body by a urologist myself, who said, Ah you have pain meds at home"
regardless of the legality of accepting anything offered. It was paramount
on Friday to be a good boy. Saturday robbing the pharmacy began to cross my
mind. You don't want to know what I have been thinking about since...

Hello. I am a long time chronic-pain patient. To add insult to
injury, or maybe the other way around, I had my very first ever bout
with a kidney stone. An acute situation, I know. I hope it was my
last. I was referred to what turned out to be a real jerk of an
urologist. Opiod-phobic to the absolute max and scared sh*tless when
reading my history. Post laser blasting of stone, in recovery, he
ordered a shot of Toradol. I went into accute renal failure and spent
4 days in the hospital.
Question. HE says it was the toradol plain and simple. I have had
shots of this drug in the past and not had this outcome. I say his
delay in treatment that allowed an infection and blockage to develop,
his undertreatment allowing nauseau/vomiting to dehydrate me prior to
treatment, along with the trauma of anethesia PLUS the toradol
resulted in the ARF. I do not have kidney disease in any way shape or
form, nor do my CP issues impact my kidneys. Current kidney function
is just fine. I was not previously on OTC or script NSAIDs. Does
anybody here have experience with kidney stones and or toradol? Am I
wrong to feel as I do?
Also, he focused on a kidney stone on the left. There was also one on
the right. He never addressed it during the cystoscopy (i.e. put a
stent on the right when he put one on the left) nor blasted it a week
later when he took out the one on the left, yet he had me sign consent
forms both times for both sides. Is it normal to leave a stone in
like that? I had my so-called follow-up (and, for me, final appt)
with guy last week which is when, in an off-handed way, he said if I
had any further stone problems he'd be glad to treat me (yeah, right)
since I still had "that one on the right". I was so stunned I just
left without comment).
Communicating with this little demi-god is impossible. I really and
truly could write a freakin novel about the 2 1/2 months with this guy
and his issues. His misinformation about chronic-pain and chronic
painers is what, I think, we all fear.
Interested in what the, uh, lay community, has to say.

Cabbi,
Wishing you nothing but the best on your case. The sadistic part of
me believes doctors should have these procedures they order or perform
done on them without meds before during OR after ...maybe then a few
attitude adjustments might occur. This last hospital stay, THE best
nurse I had, ever, bar none, was the nurse with lupus. She was asking
if I needed my pain meds before I was AND asking if I would be needing
the max dose. She was proactive in all things like that. I have
never filled out a "way to go" card, but I did this time, for her.
Again, best wishes.
Happy
.
