Break HW

Have you had wonderful experiences where you were healed by loving doctors with no worries about payment?

My family's experience of healthcare in the U.S. hasnt run into trouble yet as far as i know. My mother's disability sort of puts us all at an advantage because we get free healthcare and full coverage for most things. We have medicare, and whenever i need to schedule a doctor's appt. or see a dentist, or go to a podiatrist, my medicare is always accepted. Ive spent some time in the emergency room growing up. Ive gotten maybe 5 different places of stitching on my head alone, and grew up with terrible asthma attacks which occurred maybe once a week back then. i also had to take my mother to the emergency room quite a few times during her late trimester in pregnancy. There was one time, where my mother had a terrible accident occur, where i believe doctors had found placenta on her uterus still remaining after her pregnancy, which was origninally supposed to be cut off from the start. She was in a huge emergency room with other people who were being treaterd at the same time and it was just like E.R. the show. My mother wasnt able to speak for herself because she is deaf and i was in the room with her. The things doctors speak about during rough times for others is a bit of a concern. Luckily for us, before we left my stepfather made sure that i grab her wallet with all of her information inside.
