Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 : I don't know where you live or whether you have a job. However, if you have an emergency, I don't think the hospital ER can turn you away. In my area (the Los Angeles area), there are hospitals, including UCLA, that won't turn you away. If you are admitted, they transfer those without insurance to the county/USC hospital. It isn't first choice for luxury, but the doctors practicing there also practice at UCLA and USC. Fortunately, I have insurance but I am older than you and have been a lawyer for 20 years. You need to be treated. If the pain worsens, go to the ER, please. in California In a message dated 9/18/2005 1:28:14 PM Pacific Standard Time, all_star_nate@... writes: I guess I should answer your quesitons ...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Pain in lower part of ribs, especially if it is on right side and radiates around to the back could be gall bladder. Get to your doc and just get everything checked out so you know for sure. Try not to worry so much about what you think might be wrong with you --- this only makes you feel worse.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Nate, You need to keep an eye on it. I am not totally up to date on your insurance situation as I still have lots of reading to do. I thought my bleeding was hemorrhoids - well it was but there was also cancer there. Now I am old enough to be your Mom so don't get worried. Just stay aware and you are definitely in the right place.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Great to hear the insurance kicks in tomorrow. Just a note of reassurance. First the test is no big deal Nasty yucky prep but the test is easy and you will be out for it anyway. Do make sure you bring someone to drive home since you will still be drowsy. If your other problems were truly caused by anxiety you may just have irritable bowel or a similar condition, but the colonoscopy can put all that concern out of your mind because you will know. Let us know how things work out regardless Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Will Do ... I just requested the appointment. Insurance kicks in at midnight tonight. I requested an appointment Tuesday or Wednesday. I will keep you updated. Thanks, --- flipper759@... wrote: > > > Great to hear the insurance kicks in tomorrow.
