Tell your physician in no uncertain terms that you will contact television and newspaper reporters with your story of denied care. Let them know that you plan to report them for negligence and that you are contacting a lawyer. Once you voice your complaints in writing, it goes into your file and there is a permanent record of your concerns. The worst that can happen is that you don't pay for it and your credit is ruined for a few years. Let a reporter know about your plight.
Media attention can result in community fundraisers and donations from private citizens.
Know as much as you can about your illness and what treatments have been successful. Do your own research.
