Dr owakawa. its kinda hard to see a doctor. when i dont have any money, and no doctor works on credit. i have no doctor. none whatsoever. have not had one in 4 months now. about the only thing i can do if im unable to see a doctor is to wait until my kidneys shut down again. which scares teh heck out of me
