Omg. Reminds me of a time I was rushed to the ER after an iron infusion from an allergic reaction. The ER doctor kept asking WHY I would get an infusion, my iron was crazy high, WHO would approve such a thing. After telling him over and over ya no shit it’s high, I just had the infusion, he just decided “well you shouldn’t have gotten one in the first place, your iron was too high” 🙈

This happened to me. I'd been on antibiotics for a UTI, but it'd come back within a few days of finishing the course. I went back to the doctor and they sent off a sample as well as gave me more antibiotics (which worked). I then got told I'd never had a UTI, because the urine that had been sent off while I had just had antibiotics didn't grown anything... That's because I'd been on antibiotics...

Oh good god. Reminds of a study done that showed that doctors aren't any more intelligent than people in any other professional. They're just as likely to be stupid.

Sorry, I’m confused, you had an allergic reaction to the iron, or you got the iron because of an allergic reaction or something else?
