Ideas! HELP Someone! MEDICARE/MEDICAID

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

Well, I am in Pa. Bucks COunty living with my Mom. I have medicare and

medical assistance. My problem is I can't find one DR to take me. I need a

primary

care as well as orthopedics. I was told to go to a hospital in Philly., Anyone

know anything about ford Hospital. I am just afraid they will send me

home IF i GO TO THE ER. The problem is I have METHRA (I think that's right)

osteomylitis of my ankle. As of tomorrow I also have no morphine left because

when

I followed up with my old PCP he reused to refill my meds because he doesn't

take my medicaid or medicare. So I have been on high doses of morphine IR and

10 mg percocet and need to find a way to get on IVantibiotics for my leg. Do

you think if I go to an ER they will help me or just kick me out. In NC I could

only get help when my pins broke through the skin, and it abcessed and I

needed surgery at midnight on a friday night. Any ideas----please.
