@craigcraig we dont have much options here where I live in new mexico and I dont have anyone to help me with this. Its limited as far as doctors, care, Specialists. It could take weeks before even seeing one. Meanwhile her belly is bloated. The lactulose makes her pee alot but she's not really eating so she doesn't poop. I feel lost and confused and like time is of the essence but I dont know where to go now. Im only 6 hour drive from the mayo emergency room in Phoenix. Thoughts?

@shacquie@shacquie Hi I would try to confirm something before hand before driving NM to AZ. Even if it is a small town doctors have a code they need to treat folks. Not sure if referrals per se are covered with that. I think Mayo would treat her but I think it's better to maybe call your Insurance folks or whatever Docs have already treated your Mom or Mayo. To firm something up. Glad you have an appointment with a Doc you mentioned in your other thread. If any Mayo Coordinators, Directors or Mentors see this thread they may have other/better suggestions. Hang in there.
