My neighbor is in a horrible situation that she is trying like heck to get out of but the system is totally letting her down. Her 19 month old baby gets sick, fever, nausea, vomiting, and she finds a large lump in the back of her mouth. It's a Holiday, she has no money, is trying to get the kids on medicaid, can't get in to her pediatrician cuz she has no money....so she takes the child to the ER. The child also has a condition where her urine backflushes in to her kidneys due to a congenital disorder, and has been on profilactic antibiotics, until her mother's life went to hell, and she could no longer afford the medicine. The ER DR. told, her he couldn't help her, refused to give the child a shot of Penicillin, and would'nt give her mom a script for ant. He told her wouldn't do any good anyway, and pretty much dismissed her, without antibiotics for a BACTERIAL infection, and told her to take the kid to her regular Dr. knowing he won't see her because she has no money. Pls Help!
