Buck531 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Dr. Rick/V8Killer thinks he's a doctor. Why not just go to urgent care? I hear they're pretty good/reasonable. If you're just sick and need a fix I'd try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Go to the doctor and pay. It's not that bad, tell him you don't have insurance, most will work with you. When I had my shop my doctor helped me out left and right, ton's of free sample medicines etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primera Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Minute clinic @ CVS is an option, if it's not a big medical issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think the Clinic at 1000 East Broad is "free". Well... judging from the folks there, they sure as hell are not expensive! I would also look at the Minute Clinics @ CVS or in Kroger. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 fyi the minute clincs are staffed with nurse practioners, not MD's or DO's. They can write some scripts, but nothing serious. If you need to be seen for anything but a Rx, you need to find a MD or DO.... i would call around and check prices out at local doc offices. you arnt the first to walk in w/o insurance, and with people losing jobs(and thus insurance) you wont be the last. either way, best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 no free clinics? minute clinic, can they diagnose a problem? Vineyard church has a free clinic downtown. You basically have to be first in line on a Wed afternoon, I believe they do this once a month. What's wrong homie, how did that start?

wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Go to a hospital tell them you donthave insurance. Have them treat you and then pay the back when they bill you. Pay $1 a month they live that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Its a leg issue, tingles/burning/numbness/sharp-shooting pain. This may sound strange but sounds like a back issue. Especially if you are noticing it when you wake up. Or someone has stabbed you in the leg with a knife and left the blade lodged in there and you just have not found it yet.

HAOLE Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Its a leg issue, tingles/burning/numbness/sharp-shooting pain. I bet if you cough or take a poop it hurts worse. Sounds like a lumbar disc issue, but making an "e" diagnosis is tough. I should be in the office tomorrow afternoon, unless the wife goes into labor tonight.

Clots are very different than a disc issue or spine problem. It is not hard to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 If its a blood clot, try jumping around real hard and smash your leg into some things. That oughta knock it loose. Glad I could be of help to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
