Another Partial Obstruction

I really need to vent, I have been having partial obstructions on & off
for the last 6 weeks or so but the pain became unbearable last week.I
was hospitalized for 5 days given IV fluids, pain meds & bowel
rest(nothing by mouth). Once again, the Physicians will not admit
adhesions are the cause of the bowel obstructions or for the kinking &
dilation of my intestines.I was diagnosed with adhesions over 20 years
ago because of a ruptured appendix.
I am uninsured & literally sinking in medical debt.I have not worked in
over a year because of this disease & have applied for SSDI but have to
appeal the denial decision.I have contacted a facility in Florida but
because I am uninsured the facility is expecting me to pay $50,000.00
that does not include physician,anesthesiologist,misc fees only the
actual hospital fees & the facility will not accept any payment
arrangements.So,it appears only those who are fortunate to financially
be able to afford medical care should be allowed treatment at this
prestigious facility known for effective treatment of ARD & prevent
further regrowth of adhesions!I by no means expect free care but I
expect the right to be able to have payment arrangements.All I want is
to be well again, pain free,debt free,return back to my previous
profession. I am not asking for any more or less that is my American
right.Why is it that physicians will give their time & free specialized
services to treat those who live in other countries? There are those of
us who need medical care & treatment right here in the USA!!!!!! Why
isn't ARD reconized as a true medical illness that ravocs hell on ones
body? I just know that I am in need of help!
I am allergic to PCN,sulfa,levaquin,IV-contrast dyes & have seasonal
allergies.So there may be some correllation? Oh yeah I am allergic to nickel
as well.
