The patient was diagnosed with a 9mm stone in upper ureter. The doctor performed lithotripsy to break and displace the stone. The operation was uneventful. Or so it seemed.
The patient consulted the doctor twice thereafter, but he was only prescribed medicines. Fed up of the pain and his condition, the patient consulted another doctor. A USG was performed; it reported a 7mm stone in the ureter!
