my father in law is coming home from the hospital and needs to have a nurse come in and show my mother in law how to do his ivs for his antibiotics. it is going to cost her 224 a week and they are on social security. he had a heart attack and cannot get his catherization until the bacteria is cleaned out of his blood. they need help with this or they cannot get the medicine that he needs. He will have to take this iv medication for three weeks. We live in the state of ohio and really need some help. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try community health care clinics in Ohio and your area? Many coordinate free health care for low income, senior citizens, and others who need medical care. The Ohio contact information is Ohio Free Clinic Association, and their phone number is (614) 221-6494.

If they are on social security, and have a limited income, they may be able to qualify.
