Any Doctors here?

InHisSpirit said:

Please pm me if you are a doctor. I have something important to discuss. I am sorry I am asking here, but I have no insurance. Can't get it because of my kidney disease and need for a transplant.

Please PM me if you are willing to talk to me.

Hi, I saw your post, and just wanted to let you know it would be illegal for a doctor to advise you so a real doctor would never do so. Would be jeopordizing their license and would not do so even in private.

I'm so sorry you have no insurance.

Is there any chance that some sites would help. Like the major hospital sites.. Like mayo clinic is one I can think of off hand.

I'm sure you have a specialized question and I wish someone could help you.

There might be more information available than what you can find.

Also, in Recovery Forums under physical health, if you post something you are wondering about, maybe someone else (not a doctor) would have some knowlegdge, but if asked in Physical Health isn't a real active forum, but never know who might have an idea or can pm you.

Also you might want to send a pm to goldenviolet who is on staff in recovery and has a lot of resources on help. She knows what agencies to contact to get help and can be a good resource for you.

I'm sure you've checked into lots of things but I know she has a lot of information and knows a lot which is available or can research as well.

take care
God bless,
tapero

Hi InHisSpirit,

While I can not give you advice over the net, if you would like to PM me with your location, I may able to give you a referal for resources.

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

Not exactly true. A well known doc on this website literally saved my life when I asked him for his advice. He told me I needed to be hospitalized immediately. And he was correct. I won't tell you his name, but I think you know who I am talking about.

Hi Auntie,

No, I don't know who you are talking about, but I do know it's unethical and illegal for what I wrote below.

And I'm glad your life was saved.

take care,

Unethical to save someone's life? hmmmm....

Perhaps there is a difference between online "diagnosis" and online "get thyself to the hospital ASAP 911 type stuff".

I would say so.
