Hi I have a kidney infection and I came across this. I am so sorry that that happened to your family, I am literally in tears reading this. I almost died from a low thyroid, something that shouldn't be a big deal. I went to 3 Dr's that told me I just had the baby blues. One told me women in USA treat pregnancy like an illness,anyway the 4 Dr finally figured it out when I had water around my heart and I could barely function. I feel for you and your family. Pattie

I am soooo sorry for your loss! I have a kidney infection right now and am in a lot of pain. I went to the ER 5 days ago and they sent me home with pain med and antibiotics. I feel worse now then I did then. I went to see my dr yesterday and he changed the antibiotic cause I was on that recently for a sinus infection. He wants me back on Monday but the pain is so bad Idk if I can last that long :(

I can agree with the nursing staff in hospitals being like that. My luck, I got a nurse that I believe with every ounce of my being was prejudice. There was a girl who was ahead of me and, by stereotypical definition, was normal. she seemed to be fine and was even speaking normally. After her preliminary, she didn't even get time to sit back down before she was called back. I, however, have a lip ring, purple hair, and a lot of piercings in my ears. What started as very bad pain just in my kindey area, spread to the entirety of my stomach and I still, despite bawling my eyes out, was not called back for another three hours.

I just now saw your post while trying to recover from a kidney infection. I am so sorry for your loss and the terrible pain your mother had to endure. I am afraid our already broken health care system is only going to get worse if Obama care goes through. Again I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your mother knew Jesus and is now healthy and pain free in Heaven.

I was surfing online for expected recovery time on a kidney infection because I got one recently, and I came across your post. So sorry for what happened to your mother, and it is very scary that doctors would just dismiss her like that. For what it's worth from a complete stranger, my condolences. Take care. <3

Kidney infections are a very serious thing. They should not have treated her that way, i would have had her moved to another hospital immediately.
I am mid recovery from one right now, mine was very serious,spread into my blood and made life hell. I too screamed in pain while in the hospital and i feel fortunate that my doctors and nurses we quick to respond to me. You should sue that hospital for malpractice. They cannot do that to a patient! I'm a med student so trust me they cant. The doctor who cared for me noted I had a fever of 106 as such they decided that just to be sure and not just pass me off as a kidney infection they ran many other tests including a spinal tap just to be sure. Doctors are required to do these extra tests if patient is not doing well because if they release a patient who was not properly tested and who gets worse or even dies that is 100% on the hospital.

why dont you guys get referrals to better doctors instead of complaining online? i understand you want to raise awareness but this is just a gripe session that can be prevented by being picky with your doctors. the medical field is basically a human element with human mistakes. sorry for your losses.

Dear Heather,one thing which is sure that either she is suffering from nfection and there might b a possibilty of presence of some stone in her kidney,but in both scenario situation is literly worst and pain suffered is unbearable,now this is the time to decide that which thin is happenin to her,sometimes when stone moves in kidney and tries to enter into urinatry tract then it creates same situation or if she is suffering from kidney infection then this pain wud last untill she get some pain killer or antibiotic,,i wud personaly suggest that shift or hopitalized her immediately and start some medication,there are so many gud pain killers available in market,,not in tablet from but also can injected into body through drips for pain relief,,dont waste your time dear and seek immediate medical help before it gets too late,because a the time will pass on health of kidneys will be effected and dmage will occur more severly,,so give her some strong pain killer with some strong antibiotic.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am also mad that if you are Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson, you can get all the pain killers you want. It's not like these people are shady seeking Hillbilly Heroin. They call it "medicine seeking behavior " and I think medical professionals have been taught to not give people the benefit of the doubt anymore. I have a torn miniscus in my knee and had it DRAINED with a huge needle and my dad was there going" are you going to give her anything for pain?" They gave me 30 Tylenol 3's and a Rx for Ketoprofen. So I understand it's like if my dad weren't there I would probably been told to take some Advil. Enough!
