If mom gets discharged but can't pay for expensive meds, can she be refused in ER?

Hospital is hot to trot to discharge her too early and wants her to pay for expensive TPN, anti-nausea, etc. and just can't live like that. If she gets released and doesn't use the TPN or whatever and needs to return to the ER because she is in constant pain, throwing up and/or dehydrated, can they refuse to help her? State law says they are supposed to allow everyone with emergencies, just don't know what happens after you leave with discharge notice and you don't or cannot do all of what they say. Please no social services advice, she does not qualify because she is married (both on social security so that makes them 'over income').

How many Xanax can you take at once?

My boyfriend has a tendency to have SEVERE panic attacks on airplanes. His throat feels like it is constricting and he's afraid he won't be able to breathe and no one will be able to get to him to help. He totally freaks out. We almost has to get off a plane earlier this year. He does take Xanax on occasion but how much of it can you take at once to curb a possible freakout??

Blood drawn, now giant bruise?

I had some blood drawn on Friday morning and now there's a big black bruise the size of a very large egg (not a lump, just black surface that size.) It seems to be growing and is tender. Am I highly sensitive or did the nurse do something?
