My wife getting severe bleeding because of Uterine fibroids, NEED HELP PLEASE.?
My wife been to 3 ER and 2 ob/gyn in 4 months and no one could help her to stop her bleeding.
Finlay 2 weeks ago a new doctor told us that she have uterine fibroids and she will need a surgery as soon as possible to remove her uterus, But she can’t do it for her now since my wife don’t have any insurance or medicaid.
The doctor gave her some medication to slow the bleeding and to control the pain,Unfortunately the medication didn’t work much and the bleeding never stopped since about 90 days.
2 days ago my wife start bleeding very very bad so i toke her to ER. She got admitted with a blood count of 12 and a blood pressure of 75/37.
Next day her blood count went to 9.8.
Today morning her blood count was 8.7 and they discharged her.
I was so confused why they want to discharge wile she is still having the bleeding and her blood count going lower and lower.
I asked the doctor since you know whats her problem why don’t you just do the surgery for her and remove her uterus? The answer was because she don’t have insurance or medicaid.
So i ended up now by having my wife with me home screaming from pain,Still bleeding slowly, Throwing up every 15 minutes. and i don’t know what to do.
is it like (if you are not rich you die)?????

They cant refuse her the cure of the problem at the ER its the law they have to treat her NOW when she needs the care! You can always go to another hospital! The more blood she loses the worse this becomes and the more dangerous and then you’re in trouble. Take her back to ER and demand surgery and threatn a law suit if you have to! they have to treat her! I would try another hospital first! UGH am sorry you’re dealing with this…I hope it works out! Keep fighting for her dont give up!
I don’t know where you live but there must be some way for you to get help for this terrible situation; your distress is apparent. If there is no medical facility that will treat your wife on a charitable basis, then you must beg and/or borrow to get the money you need.
Ask your relatives and friends; ask your church, your bank, your place of employment; call the United Way, the Salvation Army, the Cancer Society – any charity you can think of. There is no shame in asking for money to perhaps save your wife’s life.
Alert the local newspapers and radio stations about the situation. There’s nothing like bad publicity to get a hospital or clinic busy doing the right thing.
I wish you good luck and I’m glad your wife has such a caring, understanding husband.
MORE: I didn’t mean to imply that without the money your wife may die. I’m sorry if I offended you. You must remember that today’s economic crisis affects everything, and crazy, drastic action is being taken by every kind of organization in a soulless attempt to cut financial losses.
I should have added that by calling all those people and places I listed, you have a much better chance of getting your wife taken care of: there is strength in numbers.
