And Foley Makes Three…

Perhaps a better title for this post would be "Foley Times Three" because instead of having one Foley for two or three weeks, I had three!

Patient Question: I had a suprapubic catheter inserted and had trouble right from the beginning. I was in a lot of pain, was having spasms and a lot of urine was coming out of my urethra.
