I am so over doctors who do not give a crap!!!!!!!

OK i called the clinic back and they said they can not get me in on a emergeny appt. till january, i said that is about right ,my appointment is already in january so what am i suppose to do in the meantime and she said go to the emergency room and tell them that they referred me and i said i did that the other night and they never got paged to see me so that does not work either... so i think that i have come to a conclusion that i wont be going back and the meds that they gave me i cant afford cause they are to expensive.so what do poor people do..THEY SET AT HOME AND HOPE THAT IS NOTHING THAT IS GOING TO KILL THEM....I dont know what else to do.I know that i do have the chance of having cancer because of the solid and cystic components and the family history of ovarian cancer and all of the symptoms but being poor leaves me with being able to do nothing..So i guess now i just sit and wait......Hope all of yalls visits are going better than mine....Thanks to everybody who posts comments especially mickivicki..Thanks for everything.....

If they are suggesting that you go to the ER, then call ahead and see what GYN is on call. You will know going in who is there and that will empower you when they try to push you out of the ER without consult.. Also, you could try showing up at your doctor's office.  I have been in the waiting room on many occasions and see walk-ins come in and be seen often before scheduled patients. Doctors can not refuse care especially in a hospital setting.

i know whats its like to be in that boat, Doctors judge thier paitnets by thier insurence, of cource thoses people who make you waite for a long time to see them, they love money more than thier job. what im saying is, that if you had privet insurence, then  they would take you in right away, becuase they can charge your insurence company as much as they want, im no doctor, but i know, cause i dont have good insurence yet, and the state i live in have the worst doctors!,alot of them get sued for malpractice.   and im looking to get some good insurence soon, i got medical problems right now.  i highly think you should go too another doctor for your condition if you cant get insurence,  go to another doctor people will rcomend to you, someone who loves  thier job more then the money their makeing, cause to tell you the truth doctors make a big generouse amount.  like more or close to a million a year!  i live in the state P.A.  and i hope things go good for you.  take care, write back on this forum.
