I have to go to Orofino. They are the only place that will take me with no

insurance. And I might as well stay home with the way they treat me. Fell

(bounced) down front steps 3 weeks ago, went to dr. , he glanced at injury said

Be more careful and wrote a scrip for hydros which he knows I can't take. So

ton would be a step up for me.

My daughter is still living in N Idaho and struggling w/medical, but

recently discovered that the CHAS clinics for low/no income and no ins

in Spokane will see Idaho residents. They are limited in how much they

can do, but they will see, dx, some prescriptions can be filled, etc.

Just an FYI for those it might help.
