A New Doctor?

Dunit35 · 03-09-2007, 12:05 AM

So I went to a doctor two weeks ago for a problem I was having, got treated for it only to get my results back as nothing. He said it could be a UTI or a prostate infection. I took cipro for 7 days, thought it was all cleared up until it started back up this morning. I didn't have any pain for close to two weeks. I called him up and told him what was going on, he told me it could be prostitis (sp) or just a bladder infection. He gave me a prescription of septra (cipro could have givin me plenty of chances to start a poop thread) for 30 days. My mother told me this doctor is an idiot and should go somewhere else if it doesn't go away. Any body ever had prostitis? The doctor I go to is free cause I'm a student. What do you guys think?

Doctors are for pussies. Skip, what do you think?

Dude, you should go to a REAL doctor, asap. That is absolutely, unequivacably the last gland you want to be horsing around with. I know it will cost you some dough (unless you're still covered by your parent's insurance, and you should be until age 23), but GO. Campus doctors (unless you're at UCLA, Stanford, Harvard, Georgetown, etc.) are quacks.

Don't ignore the signs.

This probably won't help at all.

Campus doctors are fine for minor things but I don't think I would trust them for anything more. Look for another doctor.

You need another doctor.

boogblaster · 03-09-2007, 07:19 AM

Get it checked out soon, you never know....

greg63 · 03-09-2007, 07:32 AM

Definitely get a second opinion.

Seems like a little penicillin or zithromax is in your future (which is the least of your worries).

As I've been saying for years, if everybody acted like me there would only be three doctors in the U.S.

Let me tell you about the last week and then you can answer your own question.

Sunday my BIL went to the emergency room because he had what he thought was a boil on his crotch and it had suddenly become badly swollen. They did surgery at the emergency room because it was abscessed. Cleaned it out, packed it, gave him painkillers and anitbiotics and sent him home. Tuesday morning his shit is so swollen you couldn't see his penis any longer. Back to the emergency room where he is sent by ambulance to Universtity Hospital at Columbia. They take a look and start prepping an operating room then tell his mother (who in turn calls my wife) that they don't honestly expect him to survivie the surgery. Turns out he now has 2 different infections and a flesh eating bacteria combined with a blood sugar level of like 235 because he's an undiagnosed diabetic. They removed over 20lbs of infection and dead flesh and one of his testicles in the first operation.

They went in again yesterday and found a little more infection but apparently not enough to cause a lot of alarm. It looks like he's going to pull through everything but he's still in ICU so things can change quickly. They asked the Docs that did the surgery what started it and they said it was as likely as not an infected hair follicle.

He's 37 so not an old guy by any means. Not in the best of shape but not so bad that he woke up Tuesday thinking that he could die before the day was out.

So now you can ask yourself if you still wonder if you should see someone else.

Personally, I'm going along with everyone else here and suggest you find another doctor for another opinion.

How do people even GET flesh-eating bacteria?

Dunit35 · 03-09-2007, 09:38 AM

Thanks for the opinions, I haven't had any pain going to the bathroom since yesterday evening. I've been drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice. This doctor said if it doesn't feel better by Monday to come in. Even if it does feel better, would you guys go in anyways, just to make sure? If I do I'm going to my hometown doctor. I'm glad I'm still on my dads insurence.
