Went to see the renologist today. I had some kidney stones surgically removed a few months back and this is supposed to be the final follow-up visit after a day of weeing in a bag for the pathology lab to run every test they had on 3 weeks back.
Not much to report - doc looked at me, looked at his computer, said "All the stones are gone and there is no obvious cause for them. All your tests results are within normal margins, though your urine quantity is low - you need to drink more water." Then a $70 bill (of which I got about $40 back off Medicare). And a referral to a kidney specialist.
I think I will cancel the kidney specialist. I know pretty well what will happen, and I really don't need to take a morning off sick from my new job and pay $30+ just to be told to drink more water. My mum will tell me that for free. So will my downstairs neighbor. And my hairdresser as part of the service. And any random person at the supermarket checkout....
