QUESTION
Who can I talk to about my daughter's Medicaid coverage/availability of doctors?
Asked on Aug 22nd, 2023 on Medical Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
My daughter is 33. She has Arnold Chiari Malformation, in the past year has had a j-tube and a port inserted. She is having major neck/back pain. She just Baker Acted herself due to wanting to "end it all". She is in so much pain and it takes months to get to the right doctors. She needs help. Baker Act runs out tomorrow at 11:00 am. She has been stuck in the emergency room since Sunday because no psych facility will take her with J-tube. She needs active care -- not a psych ward. If they can get the pain under control (and nausea -- she is always having dry heaves) she won't feel like she wants to end it all. I feel everything is hopeless. Is there anyone that can help her get the care she needs???

This is not a legal question but a medical one. You will need to work with your daughters treating doctors to address her issues.
