UW case 1: pregnancy with UTI
Office @11.00. Order pregnancy test and U/A and culture,sensitivity routine: report time shows 17.00 same day. We are not to order STAT tests in office with stable vitals (thats what I understand from this forum). Patient has dysuria and suprapubic discomfort. Can we send her home and bring back home in 1 day doing nothing, or just make her wait at office all day until 5 PM when the results become available??? Oh, this sucks!!!!!! Anyone can help????????????? Thanks/
