You should get your friend to a doctor no matter what. Most of them will let you pay about 10% a month on the bill so that should not be a big obstacle. She could just drop dead and then how will you feel.

i think its discusting that you have to pay to see a doctor, like people with less money are less important than the rich ones, its just not right, if you were in australia you could just show up at any hospital and get seen by a great doctor and pay nothing. Sounds like she really needs medical advice, i hope theres a doctor on here that can give you some, good luck.

Most hospitals have to treat you if you have the money to pay or not. The hospital in the city I live in and I think alot are this way have a form to fill out after you get the bill and if you are low income you won't have to pay very much if anything at all.

You've come to the wrong place for that question. Sounds VERY serious. She needs to get to a Dr. or clinic quick. At most hospitals you can apply for indigent help when you can't afford medical care. So, don't let that be a deterrent.

she obviously has a heart problem-possibly a valve not working correctly. she's not getting enough oxygenated blood (clogged artery?) she s in desperste need of an ekg...go to a county, public hospital...even if she only pays 1-5$ a month, she'll be good to go.

She needs to go to the ER, they will see her,they cannot refuse her service if it is an emergency situation. chest pain is. it could be alot of different things, and they can run alot of test to find out.
she needs to go asap.

Take her to the emergency room if it is that bad. They will not refuse service to anyone.
No matter how much it costs, it is worth it to go.

Maybe she should go to the clinic, or for faster results, the emergency room.
