I had a stent placed to help me urinate while a large kidney stone is present. I was referred to a Urological center for stone and stent removal but due to the high costs of the previous procedure and hospital visit, I am now broke and cannot afford the drive/co-pay for this new one. What should I do
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I must advise you to go to a government medical college hospital, where treatment is free of cost. A large stone, (??size), if affecting the kidney, must come out, because it damages the kidney function. If you can send me the details, I can guide you better. You may send the reports as a direct question in my name, to get an expert opinion. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
