Kidney stone
| January, 19 2024
| for Walter S. Morris III MD FACP
Seven years ago I had a kidney stone attack (not my first), and my doctor, Walt Morris, ordered a CT scan to confirm and see the location of the stone. In previous attacks no doctor had ordered a scan and just administered pain meds until it passed or subsided. The scan showed the stone but also a mass in the kidney which was determined to be cancerous. A partial robotic nephrectomy was performed and my follow-up tests since then have been clear. If Doctor Morris had not taken the extra step of a CT scan it would have gone undetected until it was not manageable, and I would not be sending this!
