RE: Thrown out of another hospital

Sue, surely there is someone you can call there - if nothing else,

I'd call 911. No, it's not an emergency - YET! Can you do a search

for a patient's advocacy group in your area?

Oh Sue!

Maybe I have not been keeping up but what happened to the MD that was

prescribing your meds?

Why is no one treating you?

You hold on girl I am sure you will work it out.

Is there a free clinic out there some where?

Free clinics by law (at least in the state of California) cannot refuse any

patient for any reason.

I don't understand why this is happening.

Is there something that one of us out here can do to help you?

I know things look horrible right now but suicide is really not the answer.

The answer might not be easy but I am sure we can figure it out with all the

resources that the CEDAfamily have.

Well, went to another hospital for my osteomyletis and they wouldn't take

me.

Said it is a chronic problem and they can't force DR's to take medicare or

medicaid. I am seriously considering suicice. I have to be at deaths door to

get

into an ER and then no follow up. I now have no narcotics. I Have been on

high doses of narcotics 90 mg of morphine 3 times a day and two 10 mg

percocet

every four hours and now I have to go cold turkey. sorry the hospital said.

We

can't help you

Aparently my DR now only takes cash no insurance much less medicare or

medicaid. i tried to get a Blue Cross policy and can't get it because I qualify

for

medicaid. get caught coming and going. I scare becaue I am out of pain meds.

I have been on high dose pain meds sssfor 7 years and now Iam going to have to

detox on my own. I toldthe ER doc this and he said he is sorry there is

Sue --

It is terrible what is happening to you, but please hang in there -- there are

good doctors out there. Please contact Heim (I believe Lana sent his

email address along to you) -- he can help you find someone.

Meanwhile, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Patti
