I wasn't sure which forum to post this thread so, I apologize if I'm in the wrong spot.

I'm in need of a partial hysterectomy (uterus removal). I found out 2 years ago that I have a single fibroid tumor in my uterus that, at the time, was the size of a softball. I put off getting the surgery due to no insurance or any saved money for the fees to the doctor & my rent & bills for during the time off I was told I'd need to take from work. I am on my feet for at least 6 hours per shift at work & my doctor said I'd need to take at least a few weeks off. Supposedly, I'm not even supposed to drive for 2 weeks. Because of my terrible financial situation, I couldn't even pay off my doctor at the time for the exam & ultrasound he performed on me when he found the tumor. Because I owe him money, he won't see me for an appointment so, I've been going to Planned Parenthood for gyno services since then.

I'm still extremely broke & without insurance & I'm to the point where I'm positive the tumor has gotten larger & I'm in pain. 2 years ago, I never experienced any pain except menstrual cramps & heavy periods. Since I don't have a real doctor or anyone to go to, I'm considering going to the local ER & telling them about my tumor & hoping they'll keep me & schedule an immediate hysterectomy. My cramps are so bad at times, I have to call into work for the night off. I'm also constipated to the point where I have gone for 3 days without a bowel movement even after taking a laxative. I also look like I'm 4 months pregnant.

My question is this: Will the ER help me by admitting me for surgery or will they send me home & tell me to make an appointment with a doctor?

I'm not trying to screw the system or anything like that, I'm just getting desperate. I don't have the money to pay a doctor upfront for the surgery fee & I know I won't qualify for credit because my credit is terrible from my financial problems.
