East Louisville Pediatrics151

My son has a condition that required the treatment of a urologist Communication between East Louisville Pediatrics and the Urologist was careless and the medical term of my son's condition was changed. Because of this unnecessary tests were ordered by a doctor at East Louisville Pediatrics. A renal ultrasound was ordered and a VCUG was ordered. A nurse or medical clerk told us that the VCUG wasn't invasive, but it was. The VCUG involves inserting a catheter into the urethra up to the bladder and filling the bladder with a liquid called contrast. This was traumatic for a 11 week old baby, not to mention the worry and anxiety it caused his parents. Later when we went to the Urologist's office we were told that the tests were unnecessary and never performed on a patient with my son's condition. Both offices called me and my wife and apologized profusely and pointed fingers at each other. the pediatrician called me personally and said " well, you have some information you didn't have before, his kidney's are ok". Unbelievable. We will be taking our baby out or the care of East Louisville Pediatrics. The scary thing is, even though I'm actively pursuing a lawyer, these careless "professionals" will probably get away with this horrible mistake.
