February 9, 2010. I met with my oncologist that was recommended via the Emergency Room physician, his name is Dr. Yen.
He seemed very kind and caring.
He first off noted that I didn't have insurance, and in today's world, he informed me, in the PERFECT WORLD, I would be admitted to the hospital and would have many tests to determine my standing with the cancer. Stage I, II, III, or IV, stage IV being the worst.
I had borrowed the $360.00 for the oncologist's visit. That was the first hurdle.
However, since the ER did not keep me (the hospital would have had to accept me, since I went through the ER), there was no where to go.
That's it people, you don't have insurance, you have cancer, you have no way to pay, you get to die. Kind of sucks doesn't it?? Really sucks to tell the truth.
I told him, you get me into the hospital, I'll take care of how to pay the bills later. Just get me in. I WANT a chance at life. I WANT to LIVE!!!
He sent the paper work to admit me, we walked over and I got admitted.
Thank you Dominican for taking me at my word. You will get paid somehow.
