[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 333100, member: 30"] I work for a nephrologist and in a dialysis center. We have clinic pts. that get in to see our doctors. thru a referral. They usually go to a free or low cost clinic, who in turn refers to us. The hospital that we are affiliated with accepts these pts. We would not schedule for a pt. with no insurance or that does not have a referral. This appears how you would get yourself in to see a nephrologist if your labs were bad enough. I suspect it is customary that all hospital. have a business office. Our hospital. will charge 40% of the bill if you are cash paying and will make financial arrangements for repayment. We do have a social worker in our clinic that soley works to get our dialysis pts. services paid for. Most of our pts. that are on dialysis are on medicaid. A hospital social worker is a wonderful rescource. Ours is great! If you are feeling that bad, you should go to the ER. While you are there, get your bun/creatinine and a dialysis profile done to check on your kidney function. I hope you get to feeling better! I know you didn't ask this, but maybe it would help if you tried to remember what drew you to your husband in the first place. None of us are perfect, so surely there must be some positive there. I know you aren't feeling too generous right now, but try it. You liked him enough to make babies with him right?:) You wouldn't have been able to stay home with your children if he had not been supporting the family, right? It's easy for all of us to focus on the negative. I have found that to focus on what is good (not perfect) in my life really helps my attitude. :winking: There's lots of positive around you Lisa! Look at all the offers for a kidney! We're gonna pull you right out of this funk! [/QUOTE]
