[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UTI’s are very common in the elderly and can cause symptoms like your Dad is having. I would take him to his regular doctor or to an Inova urgent care (not the same as ER). I’m not sure where you’re located, but there’s an Inova Urgent Care on Rolling Road in Springfield and the Inova Healthplex in Lorton. Both are good and the wait is probably less than at the ER. If it’s serious, they can arrange transport to the hospital.[/quote] Elderly people actually die from UTI’s or end up hospitalized in grave condition from them for weeks. An elderly person needs a skilled, experienced doctor.[/quote]
