Medically necessary
This is to people covered by Medicare. Medicare has good rules that can change the fear that many of us have that there is no one to care for us when we are let out of the hospital after a medical incident. I recently had a traumatic experience. I was told by surgery, to remove, at home, 2 sets of intricately wound tubes which were inserted into my thigh, carrying pain medicine (a good thing). It was horrible, the tubes were bloody and confusing, leaking, terrifying. Days later, my wound needed rebandaging, on my right foot, which I could not reach, nor could I drive. I needed a home nurse. I live out of town, both problems were medically necessary for me, I am not a medical person. The hospital surgery in town was very good but the medical profession needs to improve itself, the doctor didn’t understand.
