Poor Priscilla I hate that you are going through this, hang in, I know you are a tough cookie, keep fighting, we need you here, your pups need you, your family needs you, Liam needs you. We love you girl, get better. |
Just checking on Priscilla this morning and sending prayers and best wishes!
The nurses will give her the same care they give everyone else! There are some amenities and treatments that may be rationed, but none that are life threatening. The reality is: the hospitals are losing money on Medicaid and uninsured patients because it costs more to care for them than Medicaid pays (depending upon the seriousness of course). That is why hospitals are laying off employees and cutting free services. I used to be able to send my patients for dietary/nutrician or stop smoking classes, but now so many of the hospitals have to charge for those classes/services. Very sad! We may need to start a good fund thingie when she has recovered to help them out.
Be well Priscilla, and know that you have a powerful group of prayer warriors at your back
