Can NOT believe this, This makes me Sick!

hi echo get the best lawyer you can ge r and ask for pro bono that m eans he does it free and then get your plight publicized on the television so people can hear this all over the United states and also contact your local congressman or woman also go to the American Cancer society for some help,.

The world is beautiful. But some thorn like structures are also in the world. They have money centered mentality. No body can do any thing. They will do in their own way.

Here in India there are organisations that one can go to through whom a representation can be made. And these organisations I am told render free service. I am sure there will be many such set ups in the US too. Can you search the Net and look for one. My best wishes are with you.

Hi echo, I am sorry to hear about your family's plight. This is the reason why I don't really like to go to the hospitals. Many people think that they go to hospitals to get healed but many times, it is the total opposite. Private hospitals in my place like it when their patients stay longer. The longer the patients stay, the more money these hospitals make. I really hate it when they always promote themselves as being the 'saviour' for sick people. They help you but in return they want your $$$$$$, no $$$$$$$ you get kicked out, or to put it nicely, they will tell you to go to government hospital. So, like what other mylotters from the US have said, get a pro bono lawyer to help your family's problem. Get support from the appropriate bodies or organizations that can highlight your problem so that this bad hospital will realize their reputation is at stake. I hope everything will turn out well for you and your family. All the best.

First, I'm really sorry to hear about your mom, I do hope she gets some relief. I saw how pathetic our health care system had gotten when an old friend of mine got throat cancer, and during almost all of her last days she battled with medi-cal and insurance to get covered for treatment. Which of course had to be put off while she helplessly searched for coverage. ANYway, I'm wondering if there's some legal aid, or something that you and your father can 1) get some free legal advice 2) even tho lawsuits are stressful you may want to pursue that anyway. Or just finding out what your rights are and how you can get them off your back could relieve alot of stress. My best friend who has lupus, was prescribed the wrong medicine, it made her loose most of her eyesite. Like your mother, she spoke up and complained, and alerted them to what was happening with her eyesight-- all the while they kept insisting she take it, till she finally got their attention. The hospital gave her a pretty decent out of court settlement. Just threatening the hospital with a lawsuit, may make them back off their legal actions. If you call your local Bar Association, they may be able to direct you towards lawyers who don't get paid unless you get paid, or at least direct you to free or inexpensive legal advice. Don't let that Hospital bully you, they probably are trying to distract you from their error. Best of luck to You and your family will be in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about your mom and the financial crisis that you're family must be going through! There have been good advice about seeking a lawyer that will work pro bono, attracting media attention and contacting governors, senators whoever else who will listen. Have you been in contact with your local Department of Social Services? The doctors should be held accountable for their negligence while taking "care" of your mom. You and your family are in my prayers!

That reaLLy sucks!! I am so sorry for your mom and I hope things will go well with her.. On judgement day, I think these huge organizations will find they were heartless many times! It's a very bad thing that medical and healthcare costs so very very much!! And insurance which is supposed to help, including government insurance falls so far short!! I have to wonder how all this will progress, will it get slowly worse, if not quickly! ..I'm afraid that is what I think..

Sorry to hear about your mother health and the additional stress on all of you from the hospital . I dont know much about the United states policy but anywhere in the world this is inhuman to behave like that . With all these organization its just business no compassion for anyone . They know if you had the money the bills would have been paid . Money is all they think about , I dont even know what so say about those kinda people.

I would be sueing them for malpractice if they almost killed her 3 times with that alergic reaction. Lawyer up I say, I know it may seem stressful but they can't get away with something like that. So disgusting!

We have horrible health care in the United states. We need money to pay our hospital bills but if we are sick we can't make that kind of money. I know that doctors have to go to school for a long time to know what they know but we are the only country that pays its doctors so much. Doctors here are like rock stars. Big house and nice cars. Yes, you work for your money but why should they get so much?
