How many times?

The medical field keeps telling me to give them a urine sample for a dipstick urinalysis due to pelvic pain. Whether it is for cysitis, bladder, or gynecological. I state an objection to the the test due to the fact that the urine hasn't been in my bladder for more than 30 minutes. The medical staff informs me of how stupid I am. They have a job in the medical field.

I found in the CMDT 2007 that the sample for the test is inadequate. The ER nurse generally scratches their head when I inform them that the urine needs to be in the bladder for more than 4 hours.

They do not ask in the lab the variables of the person who the sample is taken from. Not to mention the nursing staff doesn't think it matters.

So, they take urine that hasn't been in my bladder for more than 30 minutes to an hour. Then charge me for a urinaylsis,microscopic and a culture. Both giving false readings due to the lack of diligence upon the part of the staff to see to it that the correct sample is taken. Like a 24 hour sample.

What was that Oath?

But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which assail it, the remedies which will benefit it, exercises his art with caution, and pays equal attention to the rich and the poor.

Psalm 29

The voice of the Lord in the storm.

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the Lord upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord upon many waters.

The voice of the Lord powerful; the voice of the Lord full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to clave, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever.

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

For Lost Doctors

From the inability to let alone; from too much zeal for the new and contempt for what is old; from putting knowledge before wisdom, and science before art and cleverness before common sense; from treating patients as cases; and from making the cure of the disease more grievous than the endurance of the same, Good Lord, deliver us.
