Complaint Review: Billings Clinic

On May 29^th I was admitted to Billing Hospital Emergency ward due to Kidney Stones

original Cat Scan showed 10 MM Kidney Stone, later I was told it was 16 MM, about the size of a nickel.

A Laser was use to break up kidney stone, I should have been released a few hours later

but when waking up after operation I was told that the Probe became lodged in my Urethra

because of the kidney stone fragments and that just last week they (Billing Hospital, Urology dept)

they had had a meeting about this potential happening even though it had never happened before.

I was then forced to spend the night at hospital with the probe taped to my leg and inside my p***s

I could not get up to pee, so made to pee in depends and changed often by the nurses.

Peeing was very painful, but I did not take any medication for pain

then next morning the Doctor “Lisa Bland”, slid out the probe (much more pain)

then was taken to another operation where a Stint was put in and a catheter

I missed my flight home which cost us an extra 500.00

had to have stint removed a month later (another 400.00) and urn test another 600.00

I feel as if I was used as a Guinea pig to test this procedure, I have no insurance, which made me an easy mark, added 20k – plus to my bill for hospital

no other urologist I have talked to has ever heard of this happening before

as of today Aug 24^th I have not received any medical report even after numerous requests

this was either a experiment or faulty equipment (if I could get my medical records I could trace the probes manufacturer and they are designed not to get stuck), I believe that Billings Hospital has come up with a new procedure to get more money from insurance company's, I am sure probes are designed not to get stuck.

I am being billed over 30k so billing Hospital can rip of insurance companies and for being a test case for this new "just in case this ever happens procedure.
