A member asked:
My daughter has a hernia with pain. the er sent her home because she has no insurance. what can she do.thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hernia: A hernia is in no way a medical emergency.Not sure what she thought would happen at the er. Ers are for life threatening emergencies. We now live in a country where everyone can purchase insurance. She needs to sign up for and pay for insurance and then go get her hernia repaired at a competent surgeon's office.
