A 59 y/o male with significant past medical history of Htn, DM, ESRD, and trach dependence presented to ABC Hospital after a nurse at his nursing home noticed that his urine had a lot of sediment and was very abnormal. About 1 and 1/2 months ago the patient began retaining urine at which time he was seen by urology and a foley catheter was placed. About 2 weeks ago the foley was removed and patient was having his bladder scanned. Patient went a couple of days without requiring catheterization. He then got straight cathed for a few days. Patient was seen by Dr. Solomon and started on Bactrim and continues to be on it. Patient also states that the urology changed his Flomax to another drug that he cannot recall the name of. Today was the first time the patient was able to urinate on his own.
