[quote=Anonymous]Yes--absolutely basic.  List of medications and doctors--they always ask for that and emergency contact information.  I also have a very outline of her medical history that needs updating.  I skipped all the MH stuff; I think that should be separate because there are times one doesn't want to share that.

I actually did not know she would be eligible for SSI given family income and will look into.  Interesting they have MH case management.  It is curious to me that there are services in place for the more needy that those who are better off find difficult to find at any price.  Reminds me of when I took my son for a clinical trial at the NIH for a very emergent disorder few practitioners knew about.  The main researcher wanted him in because of his particular symptom pattern, and then two more junior doctors were unleashed on me who all but said I was gaming the system to get free medical care when I could clearly afford to pay for it myself.  They even commented on how I was dressed! I still rue that I didn't mention my car was thirteen years old.  The social worker who was present did have the presence of mind to look shocked throughout the exchange; unlike the doctors she seemed fully aware of how difficult the illness was, how little care for it existed outside NIH,  and that no parent who'd gone through deserved to be treated like that.  Honestly, one of lowest motherhood points. [/quote]
