Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Cystoscopy. But what exactly does that mean?
The lower urinary tract allows your body to store and release urine.
It’s made up of two parts, the bladder and the urethra.
Your bladder is a hollow organ that expands as it fills with urine. Because it is made of muscular tissue, it can also contract and force urine to pass out of the body, through the urethra. Your urethra carries urine from the bladder to the outside of your body.
Your doctor feels that it is necessary to examine the interior of the urethra and bladder, to try to determine the cause of a problem that you may be having.
Medical Malpractice
Symptoms that may call for a routine Cystoscopy include:

* Persistent infection of the urinary tract
* Bladder stones
* Bleeding while urinating
* Irritation due to polyps, or
* Changes to the bladder caused by cancer.
Medical Malpractice
Cystoscopy is a simple procedure during which your doctor will insert a well-lubricated, instrument called a cystoscope through your urethra and into your bladder.
The cystoscope allows your doctor to visually inspect the interior of your bladder. It also allows your doctor to remove small pieces of tissue for later examination and even to crush small bladder stones, should any be present.
Any tissue that your doctor removes from your bladder will be sent immediately to a laboratory for analysis. Your doctor will ask the laboratory to check for any sign of cancer or other abnormality.

Barnes-Jewish Hospital – Type 1 Diabetes

Posted by: admin  :  Category: urinary tract infection

If you met Summer Richardson of St. Louis, a vibrant, young social worker for the aging and disabled, you’d find it hard to believe that just months ago fatigue often dampened her enjoyment of travel, shopping and eating out with friends.

When excessive thirst led her to the doctor’s office for a suspected urinary tract infection in 1997, Richardson was instead diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes caused by her body’s inability to produce insulin.

“Until I started going to Barnes-Jewish Hospital regularly in 2005, controlling my diabetes so that I could lead a normal life was a struggle,” says Richardson.” The hands-on approach and educational focus of the diabetes specialists have helped me tremendously. They really understand the disease, and their accessibility and concern make me feel more like a daughter than a patient.”

At the Washington University Diabetes Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Richardson has learned how to better manage her diabetes and regain control of her life. This training has allowed Richardson flexibility with her diet, exercise and insulin pump regimen.

“For the first time since my diagnosis, I know when I’m sleepy that it’s not because my blood sugar is too high,” says Richardson. “I know that seems like a small thing, but it’s huge for me.”

Collaborative Care
The new Diabetes Center uniquely enables diabetes patients to select the members of our team of experts they need to see along with their primary care physician. They also can select which services fit their needs at different times of their lives. Patients access the most advanced technology, treatments and clinical research for their diabetes care—all under one roof.

“The center offers in- and outpatient care and services, research and education, in a caring environment enhanced by superior service,” says Garry Tobin, MD, a Washington University endocrinologist at Barnes-Jewish and medical director of the Diabetes Center. “Patients can seek help from an institution recognized as a national leader and from specialists who can help them manage diabetes through various stages and the ups and downs of coping with a chronic disease.”

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have had diabetes for years, you can benefit from the advantages ociated with the Washington University Diabetes Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

My cat toby in hospital RIP 24 Aug 2008 (click on ‘more info’ on the right, for full story)

Posted by: admin  :  Category: urinary tract infection symptoms

RIP 24/8/08 Toby died after his enlarged bladder was expressed (squeezed) and knowingly ruptured by the vet, Claire Lowy at Brandon Park Vet Clinic in Victoria, Australia. The autopsy showed he died from a ruptured bladder and secondary perotinitis infection. I took Toby in purring, walking tall, healthy, and happy. After expressing, she brought him back in the room, Toby kicked to be let down. As she spoke Toby vomited his food, he then vomited bile (20ml)another 4 times, he lost bladder control (the rest of his urine leaked out while he sat panting like a dog), defaected, it just fell out of him. He couldnt walk properly with straight legs, he was stiff, he then hyperventilated as loud as a human, mouth open, tongue almost out, and his respiration was as loud as a human with a bad cough. All in over 5 minutes. After continuous concerns to Claire that something seriously was wrong with Toby, I was reassured a number of times it was stress, she didnt even examine him at all. I feared for Toby so much i asked to leave him with her, so she could examine and monitor him. I was told to come back 2 1/2hours later. Toby was still hyperventilating when i left. When i picked up Toby, Claire presented him to me in a bath towel having just washed him. I told her he hated water, he would scratch peoples arms off, she said that he just sat in the water, he was a good boy. i told her that wasn’t normal for him, she ignored me and. She brought Toby back in his box 5mins later. She booked an appointment for the next day as if nothing was wrong.

When i got him home, Toby wouldnt stop drooling, he couldnt walk more than 1m, he sat for prolonged periods of time, he never extended his stomach and his gait was like an old man. He did diahrrea. Toby wouldn’t eat or drink, 5 hours later Toby was lying down, i umed he was sleepy. I heard a distressing “meow’ and saw Toby collapse on his water bowl. I rushed him to hospital, in the car his meows were becoming weaker, i was yelling to him, ’stay with me Toby, Don’t u die on me, hang in there were almost there’. When i got him to emergency Toby arrested on the table, his temp dropped from 38 degreez celcius to 32, he was hypoglycemic, kidney failure, total renal failure, unresponsive,his bladder was ruptured, and 150ml of urine was in his stomach cavity. He had perotinitis (infection), there was hardly any blood in his veins at his body tried to fight off the infection that the vets couldnt get an IV line in. They needed to put two through the back legs and front legs. He had blood in his urine. He may of had possible brain damage also, and the vet suggested euthenasia. Toby died 6 hours after being given the all clear and reassurance from the vet that nothing was wrong, and his symptoms were stressed related. The guilt i have to have put him through this is unbearable, i trusted the vet, instead of Toby who i knew and saw he was sick, but the fact i had reassurance from the vet continously i chose to trust the vet. I found out the next day when i confronted the vet (Claire) that she continued to consult other clients and checked up on Toby ‘between consults’. She placed him in a dark corner, alone, frightened, in severe pain, and getting more sick with every minute. Always get a second opinion, never trust the vet that treated your loved pet if it appears they have done the damage, they will lie to get out of liability. Claire wasnt in shock when i confronted her the next day. I took a friend with me, she didnt cry, she didnt even shake, i was trembling. Send this story to everyone you know, ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION IMMEDIATELY if you suspect something, u know your pets better than any vet. This needs public awareness. If you know anyone who has pets and gets treated at this vet, please tell them his story. You can help just by telling people to click and view his video and story. So please spread the word as these little guys dont have mouths and vets like Claire should be exposed and not protected.
