Yes scare tactics.
I dont even know what my father is having. They say he has end of stage kidney failure and always extend his operations to extort more funds from us. We are already struggling.
My father has no money to get dialysis as well. So he hasn't been having dialysis treatments for a long time only taking traditional medicine which I didnt like and I cried over that a lot. But I heard from ny family he is still alive and at home. So I don't know. Honestly. I am conflicted. I was grieving for more than 6 months over the many misdiagnosis and scare tactics they use to give you hope and then take it away and them repeat just to such as much money as they possibly can.
I'm so sorry you, your family, and father are going through that, that's beyond horrible. I totally get it tho. Have you guys tried another facility? Ik how difficult switching can be tho, especially when you can't pay for anything easily. I have to find a new infusion center since we stopped paying for my health insurance because we can't afford it anymore thanks to Covid and it's nearly impossible to find places that will take Medicaid now (the gov gave us it back since my mom lost her job for a couple months and now is making about half her old income since she's gone back).
Thank you.
The thing is that is our state hospital and we still have to pay for all the expenses. He fell sick a year ago and couldn't work. He separated with my mom and has no source of income. Technically he has been unemployed ever since his health deteriorated.
That is the the most advanced low budget place we can afford. Their is a foreign hospital branch in our state and selling my entire house wouldn't cover half of his journey to recovery.
Our country's best location to diagnose his stage of renal failure is the only one in our capital city. We saved and send him there and they said something about his kidney can only perform about 20% of its function whilst the other one is completely gone. I have seen the worst state he was in and I am still shaking to this day every time my emotion has been manipulated and used. He has not recieved help from the government despite being unemployed for a long time due to his illness. Government promised to help those unemployed. And the doctors would prolong you from the operation as much as they can so you will pay the price for the beds and iv drips and medication and make you suffer as much as they can to get the money.
He was in need of life saving operations and they will delay and delay. I know there are more to that. But still I know monetary motives are there.
Just saying that misdiagnosis is common enough because I've seen some comments talking about how they won't read this because of the misdiagnosis. As someone with a chronic illness that is a disability, I've seen lots of doctors and a lot of them are shit ngl. They'll use scare tactics on you (one of my old doctors did and then passed me off saying he can't treat me anymore and the next doctors at the specialist center for my disease said I wouldn't lose my intestines like my other doctor threatened), they'll misinform you, not tell you about something (I wasn't told about having a hiatal hernia after having an endoscopy by that same doctor who used scare tactics), diagnose you with the wrong thing or simply dismiss your concerns and say it's nothing when it is something (once got sent home from the ER because they didn't test my urine sample and I apparently had a UTI. Came back 3 days later with a bad fever and a kidney infection thanks to that) or they won't listen to you and will try and diagnose you with something that you don't even have (an ER doctor gave me a transvaginal ultrasound and other stuff when I told him it was my appendix but no he didn't wanna listen and kept telling me it was most likely an ovary getting twisted. Only after hours of tests and waiting did he realize that I needed an emergency appendectomy like I was fucking telling him I needed). Lots of doctors make mistakes and lots are shitheads.
