(from best of Craigslist, but it seems serious)
Hello. I would like to trade a 2006 mustang gt for the removal or suction of an egg sized brain cyst.
The Mustang Gt is white with gray leather interior. Tinted windows. AC, electric windows and seat. Automatic Transmission. Has all the bells and whistles, including a new DVD touch screen Deck, Shaker 500 sound and less than 40,000 on the odometer.
The cyst is behind my right eyeball and looks fairly easy to get at. I'd try to get at it myself, but I've been trembling and had to bad of a headache to attempt any solo surgery.
I don't have insurance, but I have had the same job for the last 16 years. I need help but the system is hard to work through. $260 or more every time I talk to a Dr. And every Dr. I have talked to wants to take blood tests and prescribe drugs that have not helped. All my blood work over the last 3 years has been normal. The cyst is the only abnormal thing I have. I can borrow money and sell the car. I'm using this ad as a last ditch attempt to get help. If you know a surgeon willing to look at my records, I will mail them and the DVD with 2 brain scans.
I'm going to loose everything if someone cant help me. I don't want, and have been denied medicaid, because I want to work, but its getting harder to do the things I like to do.
Thanks

(20,576 posts)It is just so sad. He is losing cognitive function and is fighting to get help before it gets worse. He has a family he wants to be here for.
What a shame on this country.
Hope he gets help soon.

(2,560 posts)It is so sad that anyone has to go to this length to get treatment which is readily available to me in Holland should I ever need it.
And even if this guy gets the treatment he needs, there are many who won't.

(1,638 posts)A lot of people have had success with medical tourism. Other than that the only thing I can think of is moving to Massachusetts to get on an insurance policy there (not sure if that'd work).
