Amaze Saved Dad’s Life
I had two extraordinary experiences with Amaze. The first saved us from misery. The second saved his life. My dad had recently been in the hospital where he had a catheter inserted. The day before it was due to be removed there was a significant amount of blood in his urine. His aide sent me pictures, which I forwarded to Amaze. Meanwhile two of his doctors’ offices told us to go to the ER without even looking at pictures. Dad (96 and a physician for 50 years) really didn’t want to go. Dr. Lisa Hile at Amaze looked at the pictures and explained that catheters irritate and told us to stay put. She followed up through the night until the next day when we went to have the catheter removed. Dr. Hile told me the urologist would determine whether Dad would be OK without the catheter. The urologist didn’t even want to talk with us. His nurse removed the catheter and wanted to send us on our way. I found him and asked how we would know if Dad was OK without the catheter, he shrugged and said, “if he pees he’s fine.” Well my dad was peeing during the next few days, but seemed to be getting sicker and sicker. By the fourth day he was doubled over in pain, couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep. I started calling the urologist office begging someone to see Dad. No dice. By day five, Dad could barely move, was dizzy and disoriented. I told Dr. Hile. Somehow, she got one of the urologists to see Dad within 30 minutes. When I got him to the offices he didn’t know where he was and could barely get to the elevator. He had been retaining 2 liters of urine in his bladder. We were told that if we had waited much longer his kidneys would have begun to fail. I don’t know what we would have done without Amaze and Dr. Hile.
