I did not misunderstand your point; on the contrary, I focused my attention on all of them equally. Did you read my post, or just skim through it? Regardless, I understand now that you decided to focus on one thing.

I didn't have the money for a culture(it was $120) nor an x-ray($180). They did request that I pay for one, but I couldn't so they opted for amikacin. They didn't mention anything about feeding, as far as I can recall. They did mention potential kidney damage, but said I didn't have to worry because it was only 1 unit every 3 days.

So from all the worry here, I gather that I was under-informed. Am I right in this regard, then?
