[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please take her to a plastic surgeon now.  I am surprised the ER didn't call one in.[/quote]

I think they didn't call a plastic surgeon because she didn't need stitches and she has Medicare so I doubt they would pay for one.[/quote]

This makes me so GD angry!  I f-ing HATE our medical system.

I posted not too long ago in a thread around here where someone was upset about the amount they paid for insurance and a hospital visit and yet how "people without insurance get the best free care."  Several people told me I was wrong when I refuted that position.

I see it daily!  The exact terrible situation that you just stated above.

NO ONE gets turned away from the ER.  However, if you have insurance, you're getting better ER care.  I literally even described this scenario in my post... if your kid comes into the ER with a dog bite to the face and you have insurance, the ER is going to get a plastics consult.  If your kid comes into the ER with a dog bite to the face and you have no insurance (or Medicare in this case), your kid is going to get taken care of, but plastics wouldn't be called down.

If you can find a plastic surgeon who accepts Medicare, please take your DD, OP.  It's worth a consult just to make sure things are healing well.      [/quote]
