guess I'm going to have to pay for this thing out of pocket.

Finally got the doc's script right. Now I can't get any service. All of the dme's around here are clueless.

I'm driving 2 hours in my beater card tommorow to try a national company in our state's capital.

Sheesh - what is the big deal about this stuff?

What are you trying to get done? Why do you feel all the local providers are unable to help?

I hope you didn't just post that and hop in you car-if your insurance pays-there is no reason to pay out of pocket. There are options. Register and tell others on this forum what it is you need and any questions about how to get it.
