My dad is in the hospital for some blood in his urine and what they think originally was a kidney stone or two.

if you go to mayo clinic and look up some causes of blood in the urine it can be as simple as *over exerting* to *advanced cancer and you'll be dead in minutes*.

I think I will wait and see what the doctors say!!!!

Reading shit like that could certainly make your mind wander!!!

 

my wife has a BAD habit of doing that.

me: "my side hurts, must be gas or something"

10 minutes later

wife: "WHICH SIDE?!?!?!" "YOU COULD HAVE THIS, THIS, OR THIS!" "DO YOU FEEL FEVERISH?!?!?!?!"


me: and shortly thereafter "see?"



& btw hope he is o.k.

 

I hope all is well. I've had a few scares like that myself, only I had blood come up sometimes when I would cough.

I should probably go get checked out

 

webmd.com is notorious for that also. You really cant get a straight answer on anything

 

that's why the best and brightest slave away in medical school for 12 years. If it were easy, a straight answer would be there.

 

My brother, as I assume all doctors, hate it when patients self-diagnose.

 

I diagnose my car when I take it in for work, and my body.

I have a lump on my exterior rib cage on the side of my body that I thought was odd, so I wanted it checked out. I was concerned and though it was unlikely that it was a cancerous tumor, I mentally went through phases of sadness, denial, anger/resentment (why me??), and acceptance of my "condition."

The doctors say it is just some sort of nodule but that doesn't satisfy my concerns.

 

Haha I agree that most hate it.

I was watching House the other night, and this patient see Dr.House and self diagnoses like 3-4 different things wrong with him, and Dr.House in his sarcastic asshole way basically says he's going to die because of all the things wrong with him, and the gives him candies that are supposed to be vicodin. Then the guy comes back later and asks for more because when he ran out, the symptoms came back. Gotta love the hypochondriac's!
