Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Judy I am glad that you have found a way to work things to your advantage I know that sure has to help you out! Take care of you and good luck with the Rehab! Sandie > > mama sher: > i don't have any medical insurance but i wanted to go to Pulmonary rehab. I talked with my dr. and he said he'd gladly refer me. he said i might have to make mo. payments though. when i went to the orientation, they told me i would be given a schlorship so it would be free for me! one thing i have learned is there seems to be ways around most things. a lot of places have money given to them for such things. when i needed my oxygen, my dr. called up the place he deals with and they provide it to me free of charge. they told me because he refers so many patients to them, when he has one with no insurance, they cover it. i get wonderful service and no one treats me like a freebie. it doesn't hurt to inquire as to whether your rehab place has funds to cover you. good luck! > > > ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ > Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks for sharing a feel good story. We've been ranting justifiably about the medical treatment the past few days, particularly the treatment Joyce and have received and I've vented about Irene's. Now, its nice to hear a story where caring people actually provide services regardless of funds. And, we do have that. Too often we're too hesitant to explain our problems or ask, but there are doctors and providers and organizations and hospitals. We are a loving and caring group of people in this country. It's just there are some who aren't. Sometimes its just the pace and expectations and we're too tired to show our care. Thats a shame. But, again, its nice to know you have those helping and you were open about your situation. A good example for all of us because most of us with such diseases face some financial challenges. > > mama sher: > i don't have any medical insurance but i wanted to go to Pulmonary rehab.
