you know you got a really good urologist when you set up a plan and don't need to see him more than once a year.

I still can't believe you put up with him as long as you did. He was doing you more harm than good as you also know and things could have gotten much worse! I am glad to hear that he is being penalized and I hope his license is withdrawn. Doctors are not gods on pedestals. Far from it! Although... so many of us seem to feel inferior (even myself) sitting with them there in the office. I have gotten much better now and always remember that anything could happen to them any time and they get dressed just like the rest of the human population of able-bodied folks, etc. etc. etc.. I had to diagnose myself with the continuing bladder infections after my surgery. My urologist is very good but she should have known what I found out! That proves it... they get lazy and should open their books every now and then or more often! Everyone I talked to agree that a very very very high percentage of people are hurt or killed in hospitals or otherwise because of medical negligence or malpractice. I wish families would speak out more and it would be on the news more. Have a great holiday season Danny!

Well I just wanted to inform you all that I switched Doctors just in time.....My old urologist is suspended from all work and may never be allowed to work again ! He removed the WRONG kidney on a man.....then had to go back in and remove the bad kidney on the man, leaving the poor guy sick and now on dialasis to try and live. You hear these stories a lot but it is weird when it happens to one of your own doctors. He had performed surgury on me 4 seperate times. Thank God I found a great new urologist only a few months ago.
