My 80-year-old father has been repeatedly hospitalized due to a UTI that led to sepsis and pneumonia, exacerbated by bilateral kidney stones, one of which is causing a blockage and kidney damage. Despite multiple hospitalizations and the insertion of nephrostomy tubes, he has not been seen by a urologist for stone removal, which is critical for his recovery. What can I do to ensure he receives the necessary urological care, especially given his history of recurrent infections and the potential violation of standard care?

When can I take my next dose of adderax, and when should I take my bedtime medications (trazadone and clonodine)? Can I take melatonin while on these medications, and how often should I take adderax if not specified?

My toes turned purple, and I suspect an allergic reaction to chemicals in the boots. What should I do to reduce the swelling, and should I get it checked immediately?

My husband experienced a painful 'bend' during intercourse a few weeks ago, and the pain has remained stable but dull since then. He can still have erections but struggles to maintain them, and there is slight swelling with no obvious break or discoloration. He is not on any medications and is 24 years old with no significant medical history. What could be causing this and should he see a doctor?
