 Also…I went to see a nephrologist and wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face today

 Why? Did he listen to your lungs? They’re not supposed to do that. They don’t know what those are for.

 He literally did 😂 I’m just mad I have piss in a huge jug and get more scans for two months instead of them just breaking this stone up or giving me pain meds. It’s been 3 months….I’m probably just gonna say fuck him, get the CT scan, and self-refer straight to the urologist. Straight up useless I tell you.

 Oh gosh you definitely should be seeing a urologist…they DEFINITELY wouldn’t listen to your lungs and may help devise a stone plan in the short term.

 Yes. This was my #TIL moment…never go to a nephro, when you can just go to a urologist 😂😂😂

Unless you like need dialysis or something

 If it’s medical / getting to why this is happening to the kidneys = nephrology 

If it’s surgical / fix the plumbing / oh shit he’s pissing blood everywhere = uro
