I am mom of a PU (ped urology) patient (12). His problems started at 3 or 4--but I never had an ultrasound to detect his hydroneprhosis/issues in-utero. We have a great PU team. Find one with a nurse practitioner at a major med center. I swear 6 years, 5 surgeries and 60+ trips later we have never regretted being referred to the University of Iowa (5 hours away)...if only to have been referred earlier or with previous kid (now 20). I have found that the time and energy I used to devote to being dissatisfied with my provider(s) and worry was A LOT MORE than I now spend on travel/commute....which has (believe it or not) become a positive thing for us. (adventure, meeting people, one on one time, playing hooky from school/work). Plus, you'd be surprised how much you can do "virtually" with a caring professional who is willing.

We'll keep praying things keep working out for you. As for the ill gentlemen with the abusive family member... She's a real lucky camper I wasn't on duty when she pulled that stunt. I'd have had her tossed out of the hospital or had charges filed against her for a variety of things. No patient should ever have to endure that type of treatment from anyone-- ever. Love your blog Hon'. You're the type of RN that makes heathcare good. Glad to hear you’re guy is not on the surgery schedule. We’ll keep praying things keep working out for you.

It is abusive and wrong. There are times when the families ruin all the work healthcare workers do. It is abusive and wrong.
