Reply #5: My facility docs seem to tell the patients right away now...

[rainbow4321]

We had a lady w/ a CVA, one of the docs on her case told her/her family "you have no insurance, we/I can't give away our care for free, so we are sending you home".
Refused to do any more treatment/tests. Needless to say, the next day when there was a big meeting between the pt/family and the OTHER docs, this particular doc was not invited...yet per a witness in the room, the pt was told the same thing. Including that there was no rehab to send her to because of no insurance. A staff member brought up that our oncampus rehab center is owned by our hospital and surely taking one indigent patient would not hurt the place...that staff member was brought into the brass' office and counseled over her comments in the meeting.
