Unable to urinate? Is it BPH or Bladder Disease caused by DMT2?

Just a quick response re EMT. Generally, I think things can be done patiently and carefully and with less pain. And there are some callous folks out there who simply don't care.

I don't know if that kind of pain is common with your issues, but I do know that there are many people giving medical care, who do not belong near a single patient.

I know there are physical exercises which are supposed to help with frequent urination. But I would clear them with your doc first. You might have an issue which would be aggravated by exercise (or not).

Take care

@colleenyoung , I got a chance to review, big time great. I'm really surprised that my dad doctors weren't feeling the need to get more involved in him. But seeing the urologist every three weeks for Foley change. Would spark something. But today see his PCP to review his tests. Lab, UA, MRI brain, Carotid scan, colonoscopy, and make some more sense of dad health.

Fortunately, my regular bladder function seems to be slowing returning. I never want to go through that nightmare again.

I was in the ER with severe respiratory distress. That had not seen assessed what was going on. Stuck me on a gurney in a hallway. But another gurney next to me. That guy had pneumonia.

Doing that was a clear breach of any medical protocol. Either he could have killed me or I could have killed him.

I complained.

Lovely nurse stuck a shunt in my arm, in a painful way and left it in there for something like 12 hours...while they kept me on that gurney, in that hallway, untreated.

Plenty of these folks belong in prison.

I know what you mean. I think that many of these people become desensitized to the things going on...patients, suffering, death, etc. The only person during my 9 hour ER stay who had a modicum of empathy was the orderly who wheeled me from my room to the bathroom. Everyone else had little compassion, even respect for me. Just get the job done and move on.

Well, there is always a way to try and be kind. It is sad that people give up on morality and surrender to doing what is convenient.

In my case and in the case of many others, it goes far, far, far beyond just getting the job done and moving on.

These folks were actively vindictive.

And, under the law, those all become criminal acts.

If they did this to a celebrity or a wealthy person, they would all get sued into poverty and also spend some time in prison.

This all comes from that HMO /corporate culture...where a bunch of ravenous sociopaths dictate medical care to society. They have already harmed thousands and probably killed at least a few hundred people.

Why society does not view those acts as criminally negligent homicide is beyond me. I guess with that crowd it is all bribes and threats. No one has the courage to act with morality. And they are so used to breaching civility and all kinds of norms, that they actually believe corporate spin that "this is the way it has to be" or whatever spinning lies they play.

I have always wondered, how do I find one of those hospitals like the ones on TV where the patient is seen immediately, assessed by a team of ER docs, sent to a beautiful room, then another team comes in to give the final diagnosis. If none is found, the team members will spend time perusing journals, past history, eventually coming up with a unique and effective treatment plan. I want to go to one of those hospitals...PLEASE!

That was standard medical care in the 60s and 70s. And not just for rich people...for everyone.
And it could be standard medical care today if medical care was not controlled by corporations, to glean the profit margins they want. I guess folks don't know, but back when I was a kid, hospitals were not run for profit. And I think some of them ran at a loss. They just did what was necessary for patients. And if they went into the red, they contacted some wealthy donors and got their funding that way, not on the backs of sick people.

As of about oh, maybe 10 years ago, 25% of the major US corporations paid exactly ZERO in taxes. If they paid their fair share? Yes, medical care in this country could be entirely different.

@samcal9977zz and @heisenberg34 , did you ever find out what body part failed to cause you from urinating? Are you wearing a foley catheter presently? My dad is really not liking it, any suggestions? Still trying to get an earlier appt at UCI for Consult to see if he can have a Holep procedure?

@colleenyoung , for an update, we did see his primary doctor and explained the result of his tests. The 2 scans came back according to his age okay. Lab result ( Kidneys) are still consider high but lower in the high level. I hope that makes sense. I just hope that we are not following the wrong diagnosis but with same problem body area. I still believe that when he had a seizure from him being hypoglycemia and the injury with his kidney, that it
could did/do damages to his nerves end that control the bladder neck area. With Chronic UTI on 2 different spots in his bladder. Its hard to say what stopped him from urinating This is a hard subject to fully understand about my dads privates.Something is not adding up right.
