For my Bethel and area friends and family, I had quite the scare today, felt bad, went to BFC (clinic) and they immediately sent me to the Emergency Room, they were ready, straight in, blood pressure critically high, they keep trying to get it down and took more test, said I was in heart failure, finally got stabilized when they gave me pain meds for my busted up chest, withing 20 minutes, blood pressure down, no more talk about medivac to ANC.
I lived..
went back to emergency this morning, not for heart but my legs stopped working, after hours they said kidneys and they want to medivac me to Anchorage, I REFUSED, then they wanted me to stay in the hospital here, I REFUSED, will see the doc Monday if I live... sorry, but Mr. White man here cannot afford $3284.00 a month for insurance, remember that "AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE" medivac alone is $40,000.00
rather die then pay forever
