As a mom of five I am no stranger to pain. However recently I passed a kidney stone at home alone and it was like giving birth. After wards there was blood in my urine. I went to my local doc ($50) to have her check it out. Sure enough the passing caused an infection... so now I needed antibiotics ($4). She also gave me pain relievers ($15) because she feared I had more to pass. She gave me a filter hat to catch any stones I may pass after the initial one. Although it cost almost $70, going to the doctor for follow up was worth it. By passing the kidney stone at home I saved several thousand. My doc was impressed, but then again I have given birth naturally in under an hour. (THAT hurts like a kidney stone)
