In California. My wife had been dealing with an UTI for seven years. We continually emailed her doctor and urologist with concerns that there might be an underlying condition, but they kept brushing off our concerns and just repeatedly prescribed antibiotics. Finally, she was assigned to a different urologist who referred her for an ultra-sound that showed a stone the size of her fist in one of her kidneys. Invasive surgery was required to break that up. We asked her surgeon if her kidney was permanently damaged, and he described the lower portion of her kidney as "mush." About a week after the procedure, she was rushed to the ER with an incredibly high fever and bleeding. She had to stay in the hospital 8 days before they finally killed the infection and stopped the bleeding. We filed a grievance and finally received a boiler-plate response of, sorry for your trouble, thanks for your membership! It makes me angry that our concerns were ignored then as they are now. Should we consider any legal action?
