I as brought to the hospital in an ambulance due to a severe seizure. While hospital staff was kind and friendly, I was told by the doctor that since I did not have insurance, I would have to have inhouse treatments as an outpatient. The doctor, while not raising his voice, questioned my motherhood skills, the family court system, Medical and the fact that I am not eligible on it, and so on. I felt very lowly because he kept asking me WHY can’t I just “take care of my own children”” like other mothers. The children are with their father due to a domestic violence situation with my previous boyfriend
and until I get back on my feet again
since I absolutely refuse to go back to an abuser. I felt like I was reliving the tragedy because the doctor kept insisting that I should be the one to take care of my “”own children””. I would be taking care of them if I could! I made a right decision to leave my abuser and it takes any human being a while to gather finances and etc so that I can reunite my children with myself! Not to mention it’s way to personal for an ER doctor to be commenting on
and all because of lack of insurance!They heavily medicated me and sent me on my way while I could barely walk due to the seizure medications
given via IV. I told them that I was barefoot
