1st, mom went in w/in past decade to emergency room n diagnosed with an ear infection, prescribed antibiotics. 2 weeks later followed up cuz symptoms got worse, basically called a hypochondriac n it twas a virus. Feeling shamed for making up symptoms n drug seeking, went to fairview hospital, diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, admitted for 2 weeks or so stay as she was really bad off at that point. Massive double hospital bills. Years later due to crappy insurance she had to go back. She'd tripped on the stairs, gashed n fractured her ankle. Went to ER, they'd stitched up the wound, no flushing, just straight up stitching. Went every week afterwards as she kept having problems. Kept bleeding n swelling. .. sent her to a dermatologist n prescribed a topical. After a month you could sit across the room from her n smell the rot of her foot. Finally went to parma hospital, I believe, out of network, but metro told her to be patient, she's over-reacting, basically. Other hospital did xray, discovered blood clot that would've either caused her death or her foot amputated. Flushed n cut out more of her ankle. Months later, ankle n foot swells from prolonged standing, or heat or? . Discovered the muscle tissue underneath was severed? N there's a gross squishy hole so she's embarrassed n has to wear socks to cover that hole. Ridiculous medical bills because metro failed n she had no choice but to go elsewhere, insurance doesn't care n metro didn't either. Lawyers all said no case cuz sorry, you've gotta be dead or had your foot cut off before it's worth our time. So, now she's no choice but to file bankruptcy, metro won't help, insurance won't help, too bad, so sad, not their problem.
