Alternative medicine offers old solutions for ailments
Posted on August 24th, 2008 by DAAN
When doctors told Mark Goodremote, of New Auburn, his kidney stone was too large to pass without surgery, he prepared to spend the next two weeks in pain.
Goodremote, a private contractor, didn’t have health insurance when the stone incapacitated him Aug. 3. Dr. Michael Rentzepis, a urologist at Luther Hospital in Eau Claire, estimated the stone was three millimeters in size and told Goodremote the likelihood of passing it naturally was less than 10 percent. He recommended putting in a stent and undergoing a procedure and prescribed narcotics to control the pain.
