I went to urgent care last week for the flu, was given tamiflu but I’m still sporting a 102°+ fever. I called the doctor I saw and she wants me to head to the ER asap because she thinks it could be sepsis. I’m stupid and don’t have health insurance. I couldn’t get it through my job when open enrollment was going on and I just never got around to applying for plans online. I have a $1000 emergency fund but I know it’ll probably cost a whole lot more especially if my dr is right and it’s sepsis. She said I could spend days to weeks in the ICU. This all sucks and I dont know what to do. I will definitely never make the mistake of thinking I’m immune to illnesses therefore don’t need health insurance at the moment.
EDIT: Headed to hospital.
