I have been passed around like a hot potato, from dr to dr. Having to pay the high 1st visit fee, @ least 4x now, W/ the minimum being 150 dllrs up to 450 dllrs, just to get past the receptionist. I have been turned away because I was 45 dollars short. Ive had to go to the E.R., just to get X-Rays,CTR?,CAT scans, All showing the same thing, fractured spine,crushed disk,yadda yadda yadda,Pain! my last experience Im having, is I called my script to the pharm. yesterday at 8am. It is 10:30 am the following day.I had to call the dr.(receptionist), they are busy and will try to get to me asap(no insurance). So, my question is, if I have all the scans,xrays in my possession to prove my condition( if anyone asked ) can I buy my pain medicine over the Internet legally? I understand you take a risk of not being sure you know what youre getting, but I am not getting anything now. i am in pain and at my wits end w/ these dr's. I don't think they put patients 1st anymore. pls help
With no insurance,and already 7k in debt. Why can't I take responsability for myself?

Mr. Speaks,
I am sorry to read about your dilemma. My experience in the past was when I had to go to the ER due to a very bad back spasm they wrote me a prescription right then to take to the pharmacy. Did the ER doctor that diagnosed you not write you a prescription?
I wonder if you can't go back to that very ER and let them know what your situation is (bring your x-rays and paperwork from your previous visit) and see if the doctor can write you a prescription? I would also ask for a reference to a doctor THEY suggest that will help you, due to your financial situation.
I hope this helps,
~Jillynnie

thank you for your input, yes the er doc. said he could write it that 1 time, that i needed a specialist, they want to put "cement?" in around some of the disks. Im all for whatever they suggest. I want so badly the pain to stop. Im a manufacturing foreman, that worked very hard to get where im at. now when i dont have medicine to make the spasms tolerable, i cant work. the specialist wont return my calls. i am running out of options. It would be cheaper to get on the street, but, thats illegal and i want no part in that. i thought i might be able to get overseas or canada, and stop paying out the ears. but i dont know or how to find out if its legal. are there medical attnys or someone i might be able to ask? think you again for taking time to text me.- Mr.Speaks
