Before you start reading, if you want an opportunity to rant about the state of our medical system and insurance in general take it to the politics board please.
My sister-in-law is in a bad situation and I am trying to help as much as I can.
Just for some background, she is 32 and currently in school to become a hair stylist. She was in a bad marriage that led to some very bad situations but she is working hard to get her life back in order and I am very proud of how much she has progressed in the last few years.
She has a very serious cyst on her uterus that is causing intense pain and will require surgery. The doctor has said that if they move quickly they may be able to remove the cyst without doing a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, she doesn't have insurance. She is trying to schedule the procedure and just pay it over time with the doctors, but the doctor recommending the procedure won't schedule it unless she pays him up front for his portion. She is not in a financial situation where she can come up with that money quickly and is in intense pain.
Does anyone know of any charity organizations or groups that we can contact to try to get her some assistance? She doesn't want to get away without paying for her surgery, but she is not in a position to do so right now and really needs to get this done.
