Okay so here’s a thread

I have no idea where it’s gonna lead but I am trying to give money to a person who might be qualified to treat me for mental health given that I was shot earlier this year
This is one of those process things where the answer is “find a doctor” and it’s already hilariously impossible even though I’m paying cash
Now keep in mind I’ve got an active lawsuit and I will need a certified professional with case notes and such for this court case

I dialed my first number and was summarily told if I don’t have a GP with a referral it’s no dice

I said I’ve surgeons and was kindly told it counts
Let’s dial number the second and see if they’ll take my money
Five numbers later: lol fuck you and your money
Okay so far I’ve dialed 23 numbers and have gotten:

5 “we’ll need your medical history” which. I’m uninsured; my medical history mostly consists of ER visits and emergency surgeries and lately retinal surgeons

10 answering services

3 “thanks for calling genesis/exodus group
So I called my surgeon’s office to see could they refer me for psychiatric treatment

I left a voicemail, we are on tenterhooks over here

Seems like I might have to find a GP whose sole role will be making a referral?

TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR:

Mental Health: But I Can Pay
I have now had 34 helpful people refer me to services that won’t work for me

I need to find someone who’s a certified professional who’s licensed in Tennessee and will take cash patients without a GP referral

referral services assume you live in a major city or have insurance
I just need to pay someone who’s legally allowed to treat me

This is capitalism, it shouldn’t be this difficult but here we are
