Hi everyone.
I am not sure how to handle this one, any input is appreciated.
You probably know that I went to see the kidney doc who did the 24 our urine because 4 of my tests since January had come back with 1+ protein and RBC.
Last week my rhemo called and said that you should only leak less than 300 milligrams and mine was 800 mill. and was abnormal but not too abnormal for kidney biopsy.
Well, the kidney doctor called me and said that my test was normal. I said that the rhemo said 800, she said no, the formula you use brings it at 80 ! Not 800 ! She said I am not judging anyones competent and it can sometimes be misread. She said that she still wants to review all my records from rhemo and keep a watch. She said I do not have to be concerned as the 24 urine is more accurate but that we did need to follow it as it shows up in the other urines. Maybe some inflammation during that time, etc. etc.
So, I know I said my rhemo was kind of "off" the day of my visit, suggesting a drop in Plaquenil, telling me to get sun when I messed up with saying I can't take Vit. d and then further said oh, no the sun makes you sick and all along I meant Calcium not Vit. D. He seemed like he was ill or ready to drop that day. I understand we all have our "off" days and make errors at work,etc.
But - this is an error on his part - and I am just wondering how to handle it? I was going to call and just say that the kidney doc said 80 not 800 and for him to recheck. Let him recheck and say yes, I was wrong. I am not one to call and be mean about it. But I am wondering if he is misreading this - is it ok to make an error once in a while, or am I doomed and have to question his ability to treat me, etc. etc.......... anyone have that happen?
So my hubby says, yes it is a big no no, but people make mistakes and he should know he did, but not to mistrust him because of that.
My choice of rhemo's is very limited in my area and have little to none.
Help and advice please 8)
