Any advice or info that could help me to see a doctor, know of any free clinics or some kind of medical clinic in the O*C area that doesnt charge an arm and a leg for a visit. Thanks

Answer 1

To be blunt... you answered your own question! You really should see a Doc.
Oh I should have read the whole thing first! Sorry dont know. but do go t the Doc.

Answer 2

You can also dial 2-1-1 from your home phone and ask one of the volunteers that answers where your local clinics are. Also, go onto www.cms.org and look up Medicaid in your area. You may be able to qualify for one of these state programs...there are some of the examples I found in a book called "Healthcare for Less" by Michelle Katz....they have really helped me save a lot on my healthcare and I learned a lot about the free programs offered in my area from this book. The cheapest way to get it is online at www.amazon.com.

Answer 3

Over 500,000 people in your county have no medical coverage, so you are not alone. California is one of the better places to get state paid coverage or other services.

I found a comprehensive resource for your county that you can write, call, or email right away. Please do so to easy your mind and care for your medical problem. That baby needs you and you deserve to get care.

Try this:
Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics
Attention: Lissette Pelayo
2107 N. Broadway, Suite 102
Santa Ana, CA 92706

Answer 4

If you have a child, you "might" be eligible for medicaid. At the very least, your son would be eligible for it. Contact Dept. of Human Services to see if you might be eligible as well.

I do not understand how some people, who say they can't afford to go to the Dr, seem to be able to dig up the money every month to pay for internet services. Does that sound like anyone you know?

Answer 5

I will suggest a remedy, if you want to try without going to any doctor.

Get a cup full of cabbage. Add 3 teaspoons of honey and grind them in a mixer. Eat the paste. Do this daily for 3 days, first thing after you brush in the morning. See if the pain reduces. My idea is that it is a colic pain and this concoction might relieve you of your pain. Drink plenty of buttermilk.

Answer 6

This might sound like a smart mouthed comment but move to Canada, then your health care is already covered by the government same with prescriptions.

Answer 7

right now go for PATRICA GF. the sooner the better. As for NANCY L , you're so ignorant. medical takes time. 2 - 3 months. Or longer. my sister lost a baby waiting for the "PAPERS" to go thur. Right this person needs help. not only for the child but for herself too.
