    I want to remind everyone that my videos are for educational purposes only. Of course, everyone is welcome to watch, but the information I present is most useful for junior doctors, nurses, and students. As I stated in the description of every video and on my channel homepage, none of this is medical advice for patients. I don't practice medicine over the internet. If you are a patient and have any questions about your health, please get in touch with your doctor.

      I'm a patient. I hear you.
      But, three visits to the ER, no urine tests done. probably a good thing.

    My mother passed away because the nursing home where she was a resident missed UTI, dehydration, and CHF....until she was extremely ill and went to the ER.

    I had recurring UTI symptoms but no bacteria was ever found in the culture. After watching many masterclasses online I decided to do a parasite cleanse. After 30 days on a capsule which has mimosa pudica as well as the usual antiparasitic herbs I noticed that I had urinated out some small odd curved items (sharp on one end) that looked out of place. They were big enough to see and not microscopic. That was 2 years ago and I have not had any urgency, pain, or uncontrollable releases. I was even afraid my pelvic floor was damaged from giving birth to a baby over 11 lbs. There are very healthy parasite cleanse protocols out there that are quite inexpensive (less than the copay for dr visit).

    You could at least answer the questions that the viewers ask you.

    The doctor refused to do an urinalysis because my mother didn't have any symptoms. The problem i had is after a period of time the symptoms go away but the infection remains. After much persistence, he ordered the urinalysis and she did have a UTI. He treated her with antibiotics but I wanted to make sure the UTI was gone so i asked for a culture. He refused again because she exhibited no symptoms even though i reminded him she never had symptoms the first time. My mother is 83 with mild dementia and has a history of not being able to empty her bladder.

      Please do not mislead or give a nursing home the ability to deny a residents family form doing a urine test. My aunt has suffered so much from ignoring symptoms just like the writer above.. It's been hell to go to hell trying to get them to do a urine test. This video did not help at all. What a mistake to make here. Giving nursing home personnel armor to let elderly suffer so much.

    I thought a UTI always is confirmed with a culture?

    My mother died at home less than 48 hours after being given the all clear in A+E of a hospital here in London.
    She had been on Macrobid for a UTI for 4 days, vomiting twice and then suddenly feeling unwell after I walked her a few steps to bed..struggling to breath,high heart rate.
    I called the ambulance.
    The A+E Dr diagnosed dehydration ,put her on a drip and said I could then take her home.
    I said I was worried about Sepsis...he said her blood test was clear.
    We went home after a long night.
    My mother slept most of the day.
    The next day the same scenario happened.She was sick when walking a few steps to bed...this time she did not recoverby the time the ambulance arrived it was too late.
    I am certain this would not have happened if the Dr had kept her in and done a urinalysis ,then admistered intravenous anti biotics.
    The oral Macrobid had been administered too late by my mother's GP to clear the bacteria.
    Her GP studying the A+E's discharge summary said she was surprised they didnt take a urine sample and that my mother's White blood cell count was raised.
    The A+E Dr said her blood test was clear.
    Absolutely devastating.
