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

    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...

    go to the ER, tell them you are jesus guttierez-romerez. they will take care of you. they will just send the bill to john q public.

    seriously though. Did you serve in the military? if you did the VA will take care of you.



    that first part is not a shot at you. or anyone here. just the current situation nationally came to mind.

    No sir, car wreck and resulting weight made that not a viable option... Though I have won several auditions including Pershings Own in DC... but could never sign the dotted line.

    That is my current thought, but I hear of people getting raped by them... I'm getting raped enough for the next 20 years or so due to debts that I get to eat PB&J and mac n cheese and don't get a date night with my wife until at least January 1, 2018! HAHA. I'd prefer to stave off any more rapings if I could.... lol.

    don't tell them you don't have insurance, ask if they give a discount for cash paid at time of service.
