I don't know where you live but many cities have residency programs through the hospitals that charge very little to see their doctors. These residents are graduates of medical schools and are under the very watchful eye of different specialists while they see and take care of their patients. At least this is how it was when I was an RN before MS. I know we still have residents in both our hospitals here and they have an office to see the patients also. I remember a time that we had this patient that really needed a cardiac catheterization but had no insurance. The hospital arranged for it to be a learning experience for the residents and it was free for the patient!
