Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 thank you all for your replies. I need to find a site that has more bad experiences on it than this one. Then mayby I can get more help. No offense to anyone here but it has been over four years since my surgery and mayby I have more experience than most on this site. I need to address one issue that was brought up by two or three people on this site who were trying to help me. It is about those who said to go to the emergency room to get help since I lost my health insurance. Mayby it is because I live in Texas, I do not know about other states. But if one does not have insurance, what you hear in the emergency room (I have been many times) is excuses. You cannot get tests done (cat,stress, etc.) to prove if you have a pulmonary embolism or heart trouble/blockage/stroke etc. They, (emergency room doctors), will treat you to get you on your feet and that is all. Now I suppose if you were having a heart attack as you got there then they would give you help to get you on your feet, and believe me, that would be all. To say one can get treatment at the emergency room is not correct, at least when it comes to my situation. I wanted to say this on this site so as no one will be mislead intothinking one can get emergency room " help " . If you loose your health insurance and you have a preexisting condition, you are going to be in a world of hurt. Thank all of you for trying to help me. Sincerly, acre.
