[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 635559, member: 18284"] Nomad --- I just re-read your story and think I may've misunderstood it a little. Are you saying they mixed up your records? I hope not saying there's been a misdiagnosis or treatment? Whatever the case, I hope you're ok! Doctors and mix-ups.... Our most comical brush with that was when my husband went into the hospital about 5 years ago with what we suspected was another round of kidney stones. Shortly after he got in and did blood tests, they came back and said, "You've had a heart attack, Mr. S" husband replied, "Huh? I'm Mr. H!" Oh, so sorry, wrong patient. Then they came back 15-20-min later and confirmed he had kidney stones -- 2.5 cm in size. 2.5 cm? That's HUGE! husband said, "I have kidney stones the size of golf balls in me?" Then they said, "Oh, no..... make that 2.5 mm." Whew! Tiny grains, not golf balls. Dstc99 & LucyJ -- So sorry to hear of your awful experiences with doctors. And LucyJ.......I'm glad you lived to tell the tale! That's horrible! [/QUOTE]
