Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have a friend that I ve been trying to get to a doctor but because of financial debt she says she is waiting. My friend is experiencing black outs, periods of time that she doesn t remember what she has done. There are times she is disoriented and knows she has to go to work but can t remember where the garage is in her house. Appx. 1 yr ago she had radiation treatment for cancer in her right breast. Since she has developed more lumps. She is under a great deal of stress due to health, financial and family issues. I have told her that this is very serious and the medical bills can wait (just call them and let them know). My friend said she can t be seen without payment. What do I do? Suggestions?
she may need CT or MRI brain, and her hemoglobin status also important. untill unless examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
