I do not live that far from this hospital and when...

I do not live that far from this hospital and when I was unable to get an appointment with my primary care physician due to UTI symptoms before vacation, I went here. The doctors took blood, but never tested it. They also had me give a urine sample which came back positive for blood (which is the main reason I went in) and negative for all other tests. I asked to have a kidney and bladder ultra sound because due to travel I was not comfortable being sent home. The ultrasound came back negative. I was informed that the blood in my urine was not concerning and that due to my female health issues (poly cystic overian syndrome and endometriosis) that all my symptoms were linked to that. I was not fully comfortable with this assessment, as I know it was not related, even told the doctor this. Needless to say less than a week later I was on vacation and running a high fever with symptoms that have only gotten worse. Ended up in an ER on vacation with a UTI that made its way to my kidneys due to the incompetence of doctors at this hospital. After speaking with my primary care physican, other medical professionals and the ER doctor that saw me on vacation, this infection could have been prevented if I was put on antibiotics when I was at this hopital, and they all found it bizarre that I was not. I will not be going back to this hopital due to there doctors complete incompetence.
