Thumbs Down I *can't* do this, anymore!!!!!!

I suffer from Depression, already, but, this is really too much!!!
The other day, one of my earrings fell out and I realized that it had torn
my ear-lobe!! So, the following day, I go to the E.R., figuring,
they could just sew it up, no biggie!!!
Nope!!! Repairing a *torn* ear-lobe is considered, "cosmetic
surgery", which, my insurance, (MassHealth/ Medicaid), won't
pay for! I was wondering, whether, any of you might be able
to come up with any other ideas??? Otherwise, I walk around with
a torn ear-lobe, the rest of my life!

First, please keep in mind I'm not a physician, but have you looked steri-strips? You can get them without any sort of prescription, not sure it would work but probably worth a shot.

I had a head wound closed with steri-strips as a kid, and it worked beautifully.

Default free clinic?

This is too late to help you now, but many communities have free/low cost clinics. That would be an option for the future if you ever need medical care your insurance won't cover.
