What is the name of your state? Florida
This is a rather long story. My girl has many medical problems, and because of this she cannot work very steadily. This has a detremental effect on our finances, in other words, we are 'working poor', and although I come from a very solid family, we have a hard time of it. It is because of this, our only alternative to the high price of health care is to turn to a 'Clinic' which is partially funded by the United Way and other charities as well as government grants. This is the ONLY way we can afford a doctor for my sick gal.
She has a disorder that is rare, but treatable, brought on by her mother's use of drugs while she was in her womb. She has a brain disorder and psoriosis over 60 to 80 % of her body. Her doctor prescribed a medication that is multi-functional, that is, it helps many of her conditions at once. He has had to leave the 'Clinic' for family reasons and may not return. Since his departure, the 'Clinic' cannot keep a doctor on duty for the money they are paying. The only one left in charge is a nurse/practioner who is hostile to our plight (ie., no money) and has cut off her medication for an unspecified amount of time. She refuses to take calls or to talk about the matter at all to us. In the meantime, my girl is becoming deathly ill, and cannot eat without gastronomical distress. We talked to a speciallist and he said what she has done to her is reckless and could cause complications or even death!
What can we do to try and get this person to do right? Do we have a malpractice case?
