Answer 1

This is not good!

My mother has tons of problems too including diabetes, fibro and way, way more. We don't have insurance either, but if this happened to my mom, I would take her to the ER no matter what!

There is a free hospital by the ER, and we usually go to that sometimes, but in your case you need to go to the ER. Your mom could die!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

Call 911. They can't turn her away because she doesn't have insurance. Not all hospitals do that. That's the only thing you can do. Good luck.

Answer 3

She can go to the emergency room of a public hospital.  If this is a life or death situation they will have to treat her.  It sounds like it may be that kind of situation, call 911 and get her in an ambulance asap!!

Answer 4

Go to the ER right away.  At least in CA, if you go to a public (non-HMO) hospital, they can charge you, but you won't have to pay if your finances are low.  If there is a chance that she could die or surrfer irreparabledamage in the time it takes you to transport her to the er, call 911 and describe the prob to them.  If the 911 operator does her job, she'll send medics-then you won't have to pauy for anything else if they carry your mom to the er.

good luck...if you want to self diagnose, go to cdc.gov or webmd.com

Answer 5

Try taking her to a free hospital. One for people w/out insurance and can't pay.

Answer 6

put her on a special kind of diet. she should only eat vegetables and fruits 3 times a day. maybe if she brushes her tongue then the black stuff will go away so she should brush her tongue and teeth 3-4 times a day.

Try to massage her feet and legs so that they could feel

better.  massage them every 2 hours. tell ur mom to wash her feet every day in hot or cold water in case of any infections or sores.but tell her not to soak her feet or else her skin will get really dry so just wash them. the cause of vessel breakage is that not enough blood gets to the feet so ur mom should try to do leg and feet exersizes. if she can walk she should swim atleast 2 to 3 times a weak to get the blood pressure level in her feet and legs up. if u dont have a pool go to a public/local pool. she has to trim her toenails often so that fungus wont grow under them and so that they wont turn yellow and thick. About the sore throat and black tongue: For her throat she needs to eat raw garlic cause it will get out all the bacteria and viruses out and at the same time it will help her tongue. She needs to eat raw garlic every hour. she can also eat lots of raw onion and she should drink a half cup of lemon juice every 3 to 4 hours. I really hope your mother feels much better and i hope i helped.  

Answer 7

call an ambulance or she will die and you will be prosecuted for doing nothing because you are worried about money. Do It NOW!

Answer 8

DR NOW! Heart problems or severe pancreas  

Answer 9

Please go to the emergency room immediately.  Most ER's will take any patient regardless of ability to pay.  Call ahead to your local ER if you must and they can advise you.    

Answer 10

You need to take her to the emergency room immediately.  Don't worry about the money or the insurance.  A hospital cannot turn you away if you are there for a life threatening emergency and will usually work out some sort of payment arrangement for you.  

Answer 11

Alright, well, you go to the ER if it's an emergency, first of all

And second of all, take her to the doctor, because Yahoo! Answers isn't going to solve the problem physically.

Answer 12

Take her to a non-private hospital . Most Public hospitals get government money for their budgets and must give a reasonable amount of medical care for free. it sounds like your mom needs help. Dont hesitate...take her. There are Social Workers that work in the Hospital that can help her get Medical Assistance. Be a good kid and take her.

Answer 13

OK first of all every Emergency Room in the country accepts Emergency patients regardless of whether or not they have insurance so go to the ER  

Answer 14

I think you guys should go to the hospital, even with no insurance. You will find another way to pay, because SHE WILL BE ALIVE!

Answer 15

I would call 911 this sounds bad especially if its spreading. She could be having an allergic reaction to something or an internal organ is spreading down. If you absolutely cant call 911 pray!!!

Answer 16

You have to get her help!! she is probably retaining too much water. Think about it your mother is worth more than any amount of money. Call a hospital around your area tell them the situation and ask them what they think.

Answer 17

it sounds like she might be having an allergic reaction. she should really go to the hospital or she could die. they will treat her whether she has insurance or not!

Answer 18

The ER can't turn anyone away - even if you don't have insurance.

Answer 19

GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM

I usually dont give such bland advise but with other problems theres no telling what it is and she needs to be treated. :( sorry
