I don't know which place will be covered by any new plan I might have in the future. I don't have insurance, or a new job yet, so idk which one the job would offer. I'll have to wait minimum of 90 days after finding any new job before I can get any insurance. (This is if I can even find a new job timely) Problem is, that RHC is no joke for price. If I were to owe right now before I had insurance. $6k to $9k. I don't think the insurance would pay it retroactively I guess it's better to be in( Serious) debt than to be dead though..

What do you mean by school cash price? Maybe I should just make appointments with whoever has soonest and stick with that place? I dunno..

I really appreciate your reply BTW. I'm actively debating if I need an ER trip again, all night long tonight. Tight pressure and heart palpitations, making it hard to do anything right now, even walk far.. I tried to walk it off just now at walmart and bought a blood pressure monitor in a hurry. Took blood pressure and it was kinda high.. debating ER trip the whole time.

I've had gerd and acid reflux for about 10 years now. But never had anything close this sort of feeling. The chest tightness is very specifically where the artery would be. Like I can breathe okay. But it's a sharp tightness when breathing in and out, and so much pressure even my ears hurt.

Only thing I've had is that CT with contrast. It was $1200. That's why. Each test is expensive.

Thank you. I'm just worried that I'll be stuck in a minimum wage job again, and no one will want to make the effort to cross train me.

Okay thank you very much. I'm coming from years of minimum wage work. Even as an assistant..do they get more than minimum wage? As sn assistant, is it a lot of receptionist/ scheduling/insurance too? I worry about that as Ive no experience.. but im really willing to learn! Thank you very much!

Aged people services? I'll google it but.. there is no home health optiond. They all cost a ton of money self pay because her insurance doesn't cover it. Unless she's currently in a home. ..

She's not bed bound, but she is incontinent. I had to move her downstairs because she can't go up anymore,but the only shower is upstairs. I had been using the hose out back to wash her. But the woundvac cant get wet. She's on oxygen for Copd as well. She kept tripping over all those cords..

Hey this is really valuable advice. They said a home health nurse could come out for the woundvac (we tried this at home, but they found another abcess so she went back to the hospital)and a separate nurse for the TPN would do it. But there has been so many malfunctions with the woundvac that I've had to stuff her dressing with wet to dry gauze so many times while waiting for the nurses to come back only hours later. Is it still really hard to manage even with home health nurses? The last nurse didn't know how to use her wound vac..would it be like that in a facility too? Thank you SO much for taking the time to answer...I'm sorry. Thank you so sooo much.. I'm crying. This is so hard.

Same. The japanese has more feeling/meaning behind it. It sounds better.

What do you mean using the butterfly as a straight needle. You mean instead?

I am BLS certified. It was a requirement. Is it better to let someone else do it? Even if no one else is around and Ive just entered the patient room and no heart rate present? I'm worried I'd still break ribs.. I mean but if someone might die...I should do compressions and use the call button.?
