Can you go by yourself to the hospital? If not, get a friend or a family member like a cousin, uncle or something to drive you there.

Question by BlackBerry Fan!: Sued by an Eye Doctor.?
I just got a call at 9pm last night while I was at work. The call was to my cell phone from a guy saying I was getting sued by an eye doctor I had gone to last year for some laser surgery for Diabetic Retinopathy. He told me that if I paid a couple grand “in good faith” I would have some options. I told him I don’t even have a couple hundred to put together. All he said was that if I didn’t come up with any money they would follow through with the suit. Do I have any options in this? The insurance company I had at the time was supposed to cover this and somehow never did. Should I contact them or is it too late? Right now I don’t make enough money to pay a lawyer and don’t have time to be in and out of court. I have a wife and two kids, a house payment, a car payment and barely have enough money for a cup of coffee from Starbucks. Anyone have any advice?

Get hold of the insurance company right now, tell them the situation and get them involved with this guy. Sounds to me like he’s trying to extort you anyway, so I wouldn’t do anything too hasty.
Don’t sweat it until you have to and at the moment you don’t.

Can’t you just make your mom listen to you? If you’re her child then she must care about you if you’re in pain.

Question by John D: How can you check if you have diabetes without seeing a doctor?
I’m 19, I’m worried I may have diabetes and I don’t have health coverage/insurance so I can’t go see a doctor. Is there a cheap way to check if you have it without having to go see a doctor?
Thanks for the tips guys but I don’t know anyone close to me who has diabetes, none of my friends got it. I don’t think anyone in my family has it so I can’t go to them for help. I’m not overweight either.
