[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 539625, member: 135"] Another thought: I agree that this is stupid, the baby needs attention IMMEDIATELY, etc. BUT if she lives in the US, she may have put off going to the doctor because she feels she cannot afford to go. Yes, we've seen enough to know that's a silly excuse but I've also seen enough poor people who need medical care who are not poor enough to get Medicaid or whatever that they get themselves into dangerous situations because of the financial aspect. Nothing is too much to pay for our kids, BUT when you are poor and desperate, the idea of calling an ambulance and having them sue you and garnish your wages forever can be a huge obstacle. I hope she listens to everybody and gets the help they need SOON. [/QUOTE]
