for those who know me from Persona , those who dont my husband was just discharged for acute kidney failure , its crazy they think its from his blood pressure meds losartan and hydroclorathiazide combined tylenol 4 for a whole year his doctor only gave him pain meds when we repeated told him he had pain in both lower right & left back area without running any test , they say he was severely dehydrated, have you ever heard of such a thing?

Holy cow. I shake my head when I hear these things. I went to the ER with pain in my abdomen and chest. They tested me for heart problems and never went any further. It was my gallbladder.
Why they don't think outside the box and go a bit further with the testing is beyond me.

No I haven't heard of such thing. I hope they give him some new meds and help make him feel better and comfortable.

Yes! Without going into detail I had severe stomach bleeding from a medicine I was taking and I had questioned it. Doctors are PRACTICING medicine and they practice on us!
