I hd some suggestions on this ..
1- can you get a local TV station interested ? Here in the nY area they
have things like "7 on your side" = where channer 7 raises enough
publicity over stuff that sometimes issues get resolved.
2. we have to be our own advocates - but there ARE lots of us -
why don't you draft a short letter of protest of some sort - not nasty
but explaining your situation and asking for help.
Direct it to the HEAD of the medical dept there in Miami and
also e-mail it to US - we can then all print it and send it out.
Maybe a flood of mail will intimidate them a bit.
3. Combination of the two would be to send the mail to local papers/.
news stations in Miami !
It could look like the BIG?BAD $$-making Dr.s won't help a poor
guy with Parkinson - here they are committed to medicine and lives
turning someone away without helping - after he was desparate enough to
come all the way to Miami for help ?
Hey people come here from other countries - ddesparate for help -
w/o medical coverage - and sometimes get it FREE ! The least
we could do is help out own people.
Just my 2cents
Have a good day
