Exactly, Eric.
Dan... if you let the guy (a doctor not familiar with quads BUT WILL OPERATE) put in a supra-pubic on you,
you had to have had SOME trusty in him to begin with.
Both my Drs and I don't treat unless I have symptoms (abdominal pain or fever). Symptomatic ones NEED
treatment... the body is telling one so.
I don't go to a uro. They seem to have NO more knowledge than Drs but THINK they do.
You've proposed ALOT of questions in the last few months, Dan. Are you ok?

Either I'm not understanding or you've got to be kidding. Tell him you will have some bugs but he should know if you should treat them.

Does anyone know how to find a Urologist familiar with Supra pubic catheters or with people that are Quads ?? I live in St. Louis County, Missouri. My Urologist put in my supra pubic catheter about 4 years ago, he never wants me to get a urine culture because he say's i'll always be positive for some kind of bacteria. About a year ago he let me get so sick from a Psuedamonas bladder infection that it destoyed much of my white blood cells and I had to go to emergency to be put in hospital for a week. His office told me today to go see my family doctor if I feel bad. Family doc said he will let get a urine culture but he is not familiar with anything about Quads. Heck-- if doctors don't know, how do we get help ? THANKS TO ANY THAT MAY HAVE ANY IDEA"S ON THIS.
