No I'm not equating them to the same thing beavo, just that's what we usually deal with in H/A. They come in with a weird question that's pretty common sense that you'd want to go to the doctor and that's why we basically jumped the bandwagon and assumed the worse.
But yes they're common, all dependent on the infection of course, but I expected the absolute worse that this had gone on for weeks and she was just asking justin now.

not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Peeing blood or her back hurting. That's basically what to watch out for.
My wife keeps swearing she hopes some day I get a UTI so I know what it feels like.
My ex-wife would get these all the time - Uristat and some antibiotics always works.
Apparently if the girl needs to piss during or after sex, she shouldnt hold it or it makes the chance of a UTI 1000 times more likely. At least according to her doctor.
Well she's sitting next to me right now, having just read through the thread. The doctor gave her some anti-biotics and then told her "I could have done this over the phone." I hate that nurse she talked to so much.

Well, maybe he shouldn't have had his office people blow her off on the phone then O_o
When my ex got one the first time, I can't imagine her not going to the doctor for a couple days - regardless of kidney damage / etc, she felt really terrible and there was zero chance she would be able to sit around like that for a week
Get a HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) vaccination asap if you haven't got one. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease caused by it are among the most common reasons for infertility in women.

Ummmmmm, I'm pretty sure that if you go to a county hospital anywhere inside the United States they mandatorily have to treat you. It'll cost a lot of money, but it will work.

Also, she thinks Bowen is funny.
Yeah when I started reading this thread I was really surprised her doctor's office wanted her to come in at all. Any UTI I have had in the past few years, I've called my doctor's office, the nurse/physician's assistant talked to me, I said "yeah I have [symptoms], I'm pretty sure it's a UTI," they said "yep" and called in a prescription to CVS for a few days of antibiotics. No waiting (or payment) for a visit required.

I'm fairly certain this only applies to emergency care, under the EMTALA law. They are required by law to do the following:
* Perform a medical exam to determine if you are suffering from an emergency medical condition.
* Treat you if you have an emergency medical condition.
* Stabilize you and transfer you to another hospital if necessary for treatment.
* If you do not have an "emergency medical condition", EMTALA imposes no further obligation on the hospital.
There are further provisos on that law (A pregnant woman in active labor must be admitted and treated, for example). Most UTIs won't be covered under EMTALA, although they will have to screen you if you go to an emergency room (you'll probably be sent to the back of the triage line, unless you are peeing blood or have other complicating medical conditions). Also, they are free to charge what they usually charge for an ER visit. Finally, this applies to ERs in hospitals, not to clinics.
And I'm glad it worked out. Doctors deal with this shit all the time, just pester the people at the front and say "I just need a prescription renewal (even though you don't) and they'll pass it, or you, along to the doctor.
