Are you entitled to see a doctor if you're at the ER?

Previous threads from OP; her child is mentioned in the top one. Didn't check the second.

Op here. Have you ever been to the hospital? Is the doctor with you 247? There's lots of free time. I can't sleep because I have to take care of my 3 year old and the IVs make it uncomfortable. I did see an infectious disease specialist this morning. He's currently mointoring my test results. I am so tired of people calling troll. Some of you must have pretty miserable lives if you need to be nasty to a sick person.

OP, I agree that PP's post is puzzling. There is a lot of down time in hospitals.

Why is your 3 year old with you for you to care for????? I wouldn't even think that would be allowed considering you have to occasionally have tests done, etc and he can't exactly come into the radiology suite with you.

So you think they're going to kick out OPs child? I am sure it's not the first time a child has came to the hospital with a parent. If OP is new to a city she won't have childcare yet.

As someone who works for an insurerer there is no way that your husband chose a plan in the last few days (according to your post) and you have a card in hand at the hospital. Being retroactive, sure, but your story is odd. It takes at least 7 days to get a card to a policy holder.

Op here. Are you really this dumb? I have the online card. Wow.

You’re sharing a room with your child?

Op here. I am sorry but I will no longer be back. This post has been so stressful. I will lean on my family for support. There are too many nasty people here. It's very sad. I am happy the insurance is sorted out. It was not easy going to the hospital and not knowing if I am insured. Most likely I will have to stay tonight as well. This bill will be very high!

Hospitals aren't daycare centers. If she were admitted for an infectious disease, the father would be expected to come take the child. And then the nurses would call social services if that weren't possible. More evidence that this is a troll post. Good riddance OP.

OP--I don't blame you. I wish you well. If after it is all over you could come back and tell us what they found, an update would be welcome.

I think there was just one nasty poster who chose to target you for who knows what reason. So sorry.

No, there's definitely more than one skeptical poster on this thread. And funny how the OP chooses to sign off when her posts get reported to Jeff to check if she's a troll.

Nurse here. Are you on drugs? The nurse's do not call social services. Children can be in the hospital with a parent. OP does not have Ebola.

The child is sick too! She shouldn't need childcare because the child should be being taken care of by the hospital staff if he is also under suspicion of having Typhoid as she says he is.

At 11am in the morning on a Monday no less. Man those postal carriers in Miami are efficient!
