Re: Digest Number 426; att'n lin

Hi from Joe:

I had a kidney stone in '84 before any of this hit the streets. The day

before it blocked a ureter it felt like the plumbing was full of sand.

When the pressure went past my normal pain threshold, went to E.R., was

admitted, forced fluids, they wouldn't issue enough pain meds & finally

passed it before morning. It was a green stone about 1/4 " dia., they

wouldn't analyse it to see what it was made of, wouldn't say why it

formed. Found this yr it was most likely from a raging calcium

deficiency.

This was the most painfull thing I had ever endured , [worse than knee

fracture, worse than finger surgery, worse than teeth pulled, even worse

than hemhoroids]; was lucky it was round & didn't slit anything on the

way out. The wizzards {I'm being kind} never bothered with any

diagnostics nor a size check nor a shape check; missed some insurance

charges & put me at more risk than some I heard of that had sharp edges

sticking out of theirs [which they knew about & took steps to fix].

Recommend you do what you can to reduce the particle size before it finds

the outlet pipe; consider ultrasound disintegration along with whatever

else but get after it IMMEDIATELY.
