Need to address to trussell, it is her daughter that is sick. If you’ve never dealt a lot with the med system, you have no clue where to start.
You ever try to get into a doc’s office or hospital with NO money? No ins? Only if you are an illegal.
You are right the local children’s hospital should have a social rep with lots of info at her fingertips. There are also Mayor’s hot lines.
I’m a retired physician. No more excuses, I told her (sorry I sent it to you by mistake) how to get the funds for her child’s care.
She could call her local hospital and ask who in the area provides care on a sliding scale. I used such a practice after an ER visit last year. We are still paying for the ER.
