Are There Financial Resorces To Pay For Knee Replacement Surgery In Michigan.?
I am 62 years old and female, with no money or health insurance . I am a resident of Grand Rappids Mi.
Is there such a thing as pro-brono surgey for those who can’ afford it?
Alas, with health care in our country … we don’t have socialized medicine where the care is dispensed only by need. If you are asking people to give you a rather complicated and expensive procedure, prepare to put on your work gloves and work for it.
The thing you have to do is look at the resources in front of you and try to figure your moves out. Somehow, you found out you needed knee replacement surgery … could that medical practitioner work through their resources? See what Kent County’s Health Department and the State says. Find out which of the local hospitals is considered the ‘teaching hospital’ and try to talk to a social worker or intake counselor there. Look up where the medical schools are in our state and try to work with them as well. Use this tool called a computer and find out everything you can – become a student of this.
And most importantly, have a good reason why. Don’t tear up and talk about your hardships. We all need help in one way or another. Know how are you going to make a real difference once you get your gift and be prepared to tell everyone a reason why this is important to all of us as well as yourself. If you have a reason for this greater then yourself, it will happen.
