When I had a kidney stone I went to the small town hospital where I was spending the weekend and was immediately admitted. All I knew is I was in extreme pain and had nausea. I had never been to an ER before, so going to a hospital was a new experience for me. I don’t recall giving a UA sample, although I may well have. I did get a cat scan, which revealed the kidney stone. Since I was six hours from home they gave me some pain meds and sent me on my way. This was on a Friday. On Monday morning I went to my doctor. He set me up with a specialist on Tuesday and on Wednesday the stone was laser blasted. Everything was fast and efficient and insurance covered it all so I had no out of pocket costs for anything.
Laser blasted or sonic blasted?
