I Have a Question

How do i find someone to go with me to this colonoscopy if i have hardly any friends and the ones i do have arent available, i asked a home health aid about it and she said they wont do it for a one time thing. I had someone but now she dont want to and dont want to be friends with me either, have no idea why. I cant just show up by myself or they wont do it. i dont have family around that will fly out to do it, havent told most of them cause i know they wont do it since they wont even contact me unless its my birthday. I was doing home testing but the problem with that is my last one showed up positive, I cant force people to go with me and wondered if i should put an ad on craiglist offering to pay someone to do it. any suggestions or should i just cancel it and whatever happens happens, i cant control people not wanting to go with me.

Call 211 it is a help line designed to get you the help you may need.
Explain what you need.

If you are really stuck, call the Mormon church. They will often find someone to help. (I am not a Mormon, but I have done this).

Also, consider paying a private medical screening company to do a virtual colonoscopy. No one is needed to accompany you.

@greenmountaingal thats a good point but im not sure the medical screening company would take medicaid
I don't know if social workers can help... or if you talk to the church you go to, they might be able to find a volunteer...

I wish I was there to take you dear Pearl... you should not drop it... please take the test... talk to the clinic also, they might be able to help... 🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

The clinic should be able to offer a chaperone service!

@pearllederman They will give you a medical taxi if you need one. You will definitely need it. It will take several hours to get over the sedation. They won't allow yellowcab to take you home because they dont' trust them to escort you to the door. Good Luck.

What about uber or Lyft?

@Ynotjenn its not about the ride,cab companies or buses cant sign me out plus just going in by myself they wont do it and i doubt a bus driver or cab will pretend to be my friend, besides i dont have an app on my phone so i cant even call them
