Healthy Situation,s for All people
Healthy Situation,s for All people
Bradley County is crashing in almost every way ! I have worked the past two years in a place that I risked my health to serve customers for the pandemic and to try and rehabilitate myself into society once again ! Well into my rehabilitation I now have a possible long term injury ,Gout and it's a serious situation and mainly because of Bradley County,s emergency room hospital! I went in with a swollen and sore knee and they rushed me in and out of the ER! A blurry X-ray of knee and that's it ! They did not even listen to my description of my injury, they did not even run test and I have infection,s common in my medical history ! I'm deemed to them as non payer and it is because of they never care to listen and try to help me ever ! So they told my sprained knee and returned to work no restrictions.It got worse so I went back again for treatment and wellness is not the focus again ! They tell you that you may end up with covid if you don't mask up ! Now this time they x-ray my knee only and no-labs and a infused knee diagnosis on my knee so they give me a pair of crutches and a knee immobilizer and set up a physician of their,s for a knee drained and they said return to work in 3 days light duty meaning sit down every two hours or so for a few minutes ! I go to the Tennessee Valley Bone and Joint recommended by the ER and I pay 200$ co-pay because of no insurance company at this time ! He tells me that I need lab-work done or a MRI and he can't help me without them and that his facility they dont do lab-work or MRI,s ! Then I try to go to ER again for lab-work but got to sore from waiting five hours in lobby so I left before I get COVID ! So I tell the physical at my doctor's office that I know I have GOUT ! he gave me some steroids and said no labs no MRI I guess I can't do anything about it! I can't afford a 600$ Copay MRI for Gout treatment ! I have not walked now in 3 months ! This isn't right just because I have been in trouble In my past , doesn't mean I don't deserve fair healthcare ,! I have lost almost everything and almost homeless now ! Who will help me out and Bradley county
