Anne, my sister is a nurse at Bellevue.
She sent me this in my plea to her:
1. Two other EDs [Emergency Departments] on the eastside include
Evergreen Hospital and Overlake Hospital.
But direct her to Group Health if she belongs to us.
2. Hi Ginger,
Your friend needs to call her doctor ASAP- even on the weekend or get
herself to the nearest ED [Emergency Dept].
I don't know who her insurance carrier is but if she is a Group Health
patient tell her to come to our Bellevue Medical Center Urgent Care-
open 24/7.
The address is:
11511 NE 10th St.
Bellevue, WA 98004
From Interstate 405 southbound
Take Exit 13B =97 the second exit, for the hospital =97 for N.E. 8th
Street East/West.
Take the N.E. 8th Street East ramp, for the hospital.
Merge onto N.E. 8th Street, and get into the left lane.
Turn left at the first traffic light onto 116th Avenue N.E.
Turn left onto N.E. 10th Street.
Turn left into the medical center.
From Interstate 405 northbound
Take Exit 13A for N.E. 4th Street.
Turn right onto N.E. 4th Street.
Turn left onto 116th Avenue N.E.
Turn left onto N.E. 10th Street.
Turn left into the medical center.
She works the 3PM to 2AM shift, her name is Roberta [goes by that or
"Bert"]. Our Sunny on this ng has met her, and will vouchafe for her.
So will I.
Please contact Bellevue Urdent Medical Care now!
hugs from
Ginger in CA

We're not with Group Health, I went to the ER at Overlake yesterday and
they sent me home.
Cheers

You left the UK three years ago, I think you said? Maybe you
could try calling your old GP over here, for some extra support?
I can't imagine a British doctor acting like that (okay, I *can*
imagine some receptionists doing it, but you can usually get
past them if you try politely and persistently).
I think you were intending to visit the UK shortly anyway? Maybe
you and the baby should simply come back here immediately, to get
the help you need? The situation you're in sounds like a nightmare.

I've no idea what qualifies you for NHS help, I think you have to have
been living in the EU, so living in the US and not paying British taxes
would probably exclude me from free NHS care. I've probably been
deregistered with my old GP and I know if I did get him on the phone
he'd say to do as I'm told!
Cheers
Anne
