[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 136635, member: 1697"] Ug, yup- I always wondered about the lunch hour thing, too, cuz yup, I am also a nurse and we had to take turns haveing lunch- IF we got lunch, too. well, this is just-----interesting. My difficult child now has Medicaide. I have been trying and trying for months, literally- to get her a doctor appointment......the doctor she had all her life would not accept Medicaide. I called about 40 other docs-- widening the circle geographically...Most of them say--- we cannot take you, you have to be ASSIGNED to us...by DHS. Called DHS and they said nope, we did not assign a doctor becuz since she was disabled before age 18, we did not want to have her have to change docs. I tried to explain that the docs were all telling me they could not take her cuz they were not assiggned, but DHS would not talk to the docs and docs would not talk to DHS? SO we have been horseing around for MONTHS and her review will come up soon, and she will have to have a docs evaluation report from her doctor, BUT she does not HAVE a doctor. So circular. Sadly I have tried taking her out of the county, to the city, but they ask up front for an address and OFTEN we get told- sorry you are not in our service area. SO I also found out our county has a new clinic for low income----HA! finding out their hours has been the best kept secret- and if they are not open, noone answers phone at all nor does voicemail answer, and it's location is not listed in phone book. I FINALLY reached them this morning, had to leave a message. They JUST called back....well, they ARE a low income clinic BUT they do not accept Medicaide!!!!! and they also do not know who will. For goodness sakes this is RIDICULOUS! And whats up with this Medicaide not being accepted! (well, I DO understand- Medicaide reimburses slow and low) Sure I have people judgeing us cuz she has it..pointing their finger at us, but dang it is not worth the paper it is written on! Yes, I HAVE called our state rep----several times...he always refers me back to the clinic. Or passes me off to someone who does not answer a phone....... UG. SO WHERE AM I SUPPOSED to have her SEEN? Yeesh she gets soc sec disability becuz duh she is disabled------her continuing to get bens is dependant on her being in treatment-----her treatment is needed to have any HOPE of EVER approaching anything "better" But noone will accept her as a patient. PLUS she DOES have VERY high blood pressure, she is a stroke waiting to happen.......and ER keeps saying you MUST get this treated. (altho they will not treat it, and they will not give us a doctor name who will) UG and ACK! whew! (deep breathe) [/QUOTE]
