http://www.medicalprotection.org/uk/casebook-september-2009/case-reports/Dysphasia-dysuria-disaster

Mr W, a 70-year-old retired shoe mender, went to his GP surgery because he was experiencing difficulty passing urine. He had previously suffered a stroke leaving him with marked speech difficulty, so verbal communication was not easy. His main complaints were of dysuria, bouts of urinary incontinence and a split urinary stream. His symptoms had come on gradually and worsened over the course of a year.
