In the beginning of March I had a really bad UTI that required infusion therapy for 5 days. This was after I gave a culture to my GP, results coming in 7 days later with a phone call saying "You need to see your infectious disease doctor right away." I was stuck in bed with a wound, so over the phone Dr. Allegra, my infectious doctor, ordered the infusion drugs after getting the culture results through email ... having never seeing him in person.
In a follow-up visit June 2nd, 2 months later, I spoke to him regarding the long wait for cultural results from my GP. Dr. Allerga wrote out a RX, so next time I had symptoms of a UTI all I, or Pete, have to do would be to drop off a specimen with the RX at the closets Labcor. I did last week and over the phone he prescribed amoxicillin to be taken 3 x's a day for 5 days. Does anybody else have a Doctor who does this for them? Or Has anybody ever taken UTI meds like I described above ? Bobbie "Be the change you want to see in the world". Gandhi
