I AM SO STEAMING MAD!
| Thu, 10-14-2004 - 2:23pm |
This past Saturday, I noticed Matt(my 7 year old) had a swollen eye. He had a football game that morning so I figured some freak thing had happened and he somehow injured it although he said he didn't remember getting hurt.
Later that day was his little brothers b-day party and he semmed fine and was playing and running around. That same night he was laying on the couch and rolled over and said he had a bump by his ear. When I checked him he did indeed have a huge bump so I thought well maybe he HAD been hurt at the football game.

Thanks for your words. We do not have medicaid...we have insurance through my husbands company. Really good insurance to! I think someone messed up though and they thought we did. When my mother called to complain someone in the admissions office made a comment that led us to beleive they thought we were on medicaid.
I am not sure we would have a case against them because all of the tests they ran were legitimate. It was the small unessessary treatments that I have a complaint about. They thought we were on medicaid and decided to milk it for all it's worth. I think they had a clue about what he had. Cat scratch fever can only be diagnosed with a blood test which takes 5 days to come back. They kept asking me if we had a cat but I did not catch on because I was so tired. I think they thought they would just keep him in there for 5 days until the test came back positive then say...well, we know for sure what he has! You can go home, he will be fine. They were going to let my dh and I sit there worrying all over their greed!
I am still so angry so they better hope I don't run into any of them in the grocery store...lol.

Thank you for your kind words.
What happened was, while Matthew was having the leg cramps I kept asking and asking for a doctor. The nurse left the room twice to call for the doctor and after 10 minutes I had, had enough. So I called in the big guns..lol. My mom can be relentless so I called her and she could hear Matthew screaming in pain so she called admissions and said they were ignoring us and that her grandson was in pain and screaming and they had been calling the doctor for 15 minutes. They lady over the phone said "Well who is his doctor?" My mother told her she did not know because since he had been admitted no doctor had seen him. The lady on the phone said "Well, they are under the care of family practice." My mom said "What does that mean." And the lady said "Well since they are on medicaid then they have to see the family practice doctor." That is when my mom told them no we have insurance...and maybe by coincidence but then suddenly the doctor showed up a few minutes later.

Thank you,
My mom said everything you just said! I still cannot believe all that happened to him there. You know the first time I called and said he was having some cramping...well they just ignored it or forgot! He did not complain again until 30 minutes later so I called again and said listen he is having a really tough time managing this pain...
