What can I do?
It's 1 in the morning. I have a scared as f*co DH and a coughing Ss7. And I am PISSED! I know, I know...language. But that's what fits.
SS7 has been coughing for a while. Months. Why hasn't he been to the doctor? 'It's allergies.' Or 'Ve don't get a medical card because I have a job now.' (More like 're lost it because my dumb a$$ didn't go to the review.) Why don't you and DH take him, blksheep? DH has now real rights. BM totally screwed him over n the divorce.
There is no real point to this entry. I just needed to vent and hopefully get some useful input.

Take the child to a Dr. It
Take the child to a Dr. It blows but it's not the child's fault he is sick. Why is DH scared?
Guess what? You don't "need"
Guess what? You don't "need" a reason to post. You happen to have a bad situation on your hands it sounds like. Child sounds truly sick in a deep, quiet manner which may be hard to identify on first-glance.
If you don't have insurance, or don't know the child's doctor, you can always take him to the nearest hospital ER. I'm guessing that no one has insurance or signed up for Obamacare. Whatever, it doesn't matter. The boy is sick. The fact that he is otherwise a good kid in your experience but has been for the last few weeks acting up, coughing and feeling poorly ... dang, take the kid to the doc.
DH is scared because of
DH is scared because of family medical history.
We have no MPA. BM has all docs (Sen etc.). We literally have nothing. I think I found a place she can take him, though.
Fingers crossed.
Slow on the uptake here
Slow on the uptake here because it's late. What's an MPA? Why does BM have the list of doctor's and BF doesn't have it? He is a parent. He can take the boy to any urgent care center or pediatrician that he likes. Sometimes other parents try to "buffalo" the the less-frequent parent by withholding information and pretending the they hold all the cards. "Oh, you can only take Johnny to Dr. H because of Yap, Yap, Yap ..."
Guess what? The moment BF opens his eyes or you tell him to roll his ass out of bed, he can take his son to the ER or doctor or pediatrician --- any ER or Urgent Care. He does not need anyone's "permission or approval." Act first, worry about insurance issues later.
BTW: in my state, if you go into the ER you see uninsured, over-insured, under-insured, folks who's first language isn't English, illegal immigrants who rely on our ER's as primary care just like our financially strapped folks. Everyone gets cared for.
THIS If the kid has two

If the kid has two working parents, then he shouldn't have medicaid. His parents should do what the rest of us do. Pay for our kids' health insurance
I would take the kid to an
I would take the kid to an urgent care clinic vs an ER
