At UAMS.
No, I really don’t have someone that I can talk to about everything. I can’t afford to see my therapist right now and what Arkansas Medicaid will pay for it’s not worth my time. My chronic pain is not from my gastric bypass. And I also got the email saying that Mayo says thank you for applying but they can’t get me in not really much of an explanation as to why other than the fact that I guess I’m poor and have Medicaid and Medicaid won’t pay for anything in my husbands a farmer and we just have been hit hard with Covid and without me working full-time and him as a farmer with three kids we can’t make it we’re so broke right now I don’t know what we’re gonna do. If I could just get in to see somebody who would listen to me and help me figure out all that’s going on and get better than I could work full-time again and help support my family. I thought the mayo clinic was a place like that I had heard such good things but now I’m not so sure. It was actually very devastating news. Especially when my family falls below the federal poverty line for financial assistance. I have a Masters degree in teaching I’m not an idiot we’re just poor. Whoever said money isn’t everything is a big fat liar.
