Excellent advice Greg.
I need to find a new Doc too for numerous reasons. I swear they get dumber and dumber anymore!
I'm no a neophyte toward ANY Drs and finding a GOOD one where I am right now has been hell.

If your doc wont do one, FIND A NEW DOC!
I can't emphasize that enough. Or find a uroligist. I can't beleive any uro
wouldn't call for a culture. If not, and I felt I had a UTI, I'd go right to
the ER, they for should would do a culture. UTI are very dangerous to us
quads. It use to be the number one killer of quads.
My symptoms get so bad, I'd do anything. You can't just assume you got the
right antibiotic.
I'm lucky that my doc office is nextdoor to a lab office. My new insurence
wants the labs to do it, not the docs office. Whatever, at least it'as
close.
