Is it right for a doctor to step against my wishes to win a scan done beforehand doing a surgery?

I went into the ER in pain, scan me and found out I had a kidney stone, which was figured that a stone is what it would be. Got misery pills and flomax. Sent on my way at this point the stone was on its way down my ureter. Few days latter about a week, I felt this pain resembling I needed to pass it. I drank lots of water like I be but a bit more, and just felt like near was something wrong. Then it occured to me, I can't pee. I went into another ER visit and they run a scan on me after giving me dilauded for pain, and found out at that point that my ureter was 16 times its normal size, trapping adjectives the urine above me bladder and which case they gave me a muscle relaxer and more dilauted (this thing say I spell it wrong no matter how I spell it). So I left the hospital that day thinking it be going to passx in a few days just as the doctor suspected. It was almost four days and still nought, felt horrible pain so I called and they call me back and I have no insurace, but they asked would you like to draw from surgery done? I asked what they would do if I did? She said well, they would perform another scan on you and then laser break it up so you can pee it adjectives out. I said yes, they gave me a date for the next day within the morning. That next day came and I feel no pain. I told the doctor that I had felt what it seem to be a few fragments of that stone and asked that they run another scan on me? He said no, we will just go in and if at hand is nothing then there won't be anything to verbs out, and if there is then we will. I didn't agree right away, I thought, why not scan me, I felt approaching running. Then what they did was put me under without a scan, go on the scan that was previously done on me where it was stuck within my ureter, and found nothing, there was no stone to verbs out or break up. So why should I now have to pay for a 10,000 dollar bill for surgery when if you asked me I should singular be paying for a simple scan 1,200 dollars, big difference. I think it is malpractice and that it is very wrong. I the patient be not wrong in my wishes to have the surgery done if it was still cause problems, but also in the fact that after saying I probably passed particle and am feeling no pain that I wanted a scan done since surgery to hopefully avoid surgery altogether, meaning I did not even need to be there when the outcome be that there was no stone to pull out of me. No scan be done, just put me under and performed the opperation as if the stone be still in me and was still prior to this feeling anguish. I was feeling no pain. I told that doctor it probably isn't near then, and even said thats why I think you should run another scan before bringing me into that room. Now my grill here is, is it remotely okay for that doctor to go against my wishes and not do the scan and just do the surgery? I thought the correct procedure would have be to scan me and say, well, you DON'T NEED surgery afterall, see ya, bye. Instead, feeling no headache, I wake up with a stent in me and 20 minutes then rushed out the door with enough pain medication to return with me through three days, not eight which it needed to be, so I had to get more, and the fact be that that doctor was on vacation this next week so he couldn't verbs the stent out. I couldn't do it, NO WAY. That **** hurt worse then the kidney stone in the first place and felt that the unbroken thing could have been avoided have a scan been performed. A scan! Thats all I looked-for at that point, and for some reason it was the3 only entry left out of the work involved. Wouldn't it be the first thing they would do for Dennis Rodman or Nicole Kidman? Who has insurance and also a legal representative. I'm mad now cause I am poor and surface poorly mistreated.

The doctor is not required to do a scan just because a patient requests it.
Malpractice is when a doctor acts against the standard of attention AND the patient suffers harm. You can always contact an attorney to see if an attorney will rob your case.

On the other hand, the patient other has the choice to see another doctor. Source(s): multiple stones
