Help Please... Colorado Springs, Doctors...

[BigBear]

I have no "family practioner" or other Doctor... I don't remember the last time I've been to a doctor outside of my car wreck a decade ago. Also, I have no health insurance, it's just too damn expensive with current debt load.

Anyways, I need to get some checkup work done ASAP. I've tried calling several doctors to ask questions but once they find out I have no insurance, they hang up. I would think that cash would rule but I guess not.

I need a doctor in Colorado Springs that will give me a price list, time frame, and be able to schedule an appoinment for:
- general physical
- general blood lab
- diabetes check
- thyroid check

I've been lightheaded for several months. Fainted twice. Can't seem to get enough to drink, ever. Consistent headaches no matter how many pills I take. Exhausted day after day. Chest pains. Sleep too much. Overweight, etc... all symptoms of diabetes among other things.

I fainted in the bathtub this morning during a hot shower and my wife freaked out... I need to get this checked out. Any help would be appreciated cause I'm having no luck.

I found one place called "Quest Diagnostics" that has most everything things but it looks like I need a doctor to recommend me to them. If you can find a place that is open on Saturdays all the more better... can't really afford to take a day off of work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

I hate to be a pain, but the VA only takes care of you if you have a documented service connected disability, and the problems you are currently having are related to your service connected disability.
