This should of nevered happened to him. the story was on fox 2 this morning and on the web site.He now owes 72,000$. Thats after going to emergency rooms before about the same issue. I had a breathing problem, my work comp dr said it was probably acid reflux asthma. i was nervous about that so i made a appointment with my dr. they said they would give me a discount. because of shortness of breath and a not so good ekg i was given the choice of going to a cardio dr or the emergency room. i was crying not because i might have a heart problem but because i knew the expense and that oakwood would do little for me due to no insurance and send me home and the expense of a cardio dr scared me. i chose the cardio dr and his ekg and exam turn out ok but did make recomendations. my dr charged me 117.00 which i have to make payments. the cardio was going to set up payments but he only charged me 55.00. I got lucky on that dr and told them how grateful i was. Then i started looking up all the side effects of the meds my work comp dr is giving me and oh boy, no wonder i having problems which will be discussed with him.

This gentleman should get help from the hospitals, they can put alot of this to  the charity account they have but he will have to apply to medicaid first and this takes about 6months to get and answer.There is help out there but these hospital don't tell anyone about it.
