You are so young to be dealing with all of this! You really need someone to help advocate for you to get the proper care. Do you have any family who could help? Have you reached out to social services for a social worker to help advocate for you?
A nephrologist helps people with kidney issues and it sounds like you need to be treated for a decline in kidney health.
You can look up and call nephrologists and orthopedic spine specialists to see if they accept Medicare coverage (if in the U.S.). You may not need a referral to make an appointment.
Are you working with an ear, nose and throat specialist for vocal cords? I just went to an ENT yesterday to test my vocal cords before cervical spine surgery.
You can call for psychologist and psychiatrist care to see if the providers accept Medicare to treat your depression and provide you mental health support.

Thanks for responding.
I have a psychiatrist and a social worker for my psych issues. I have an ENT for my vocal cord issues. I need a neurologist for foot and neck issues caused by my spine injury but I never heard of a nephrologist for my kidneys. I will check on that. I have excellent no cost insurance that covers all of it. I just need a PCP as a hub. My assisted living facility did not reschedule my cardiologist, ENT doctor and hospital procedure and should have. They just let things go for 10 months now if you include my fractured spine. And I pay $2,000 a month to live here and all I’m getting are Tylenol. Without a PCP I’m stuck
