*Recommendations for affordable medical physicals for a visiting parent*

My parent is visiting from abroad, and I’d like to schedule a medical physical for them while they’re here. Since they don’t have U.S. insurance, I’m looking for recommendations on reasonable appointment dates and costs in Boston. Any advice on clinics or resources that cater to uninsured patients would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if you’ve had any experience with walk-in clinics, urgent care centers, etc pls share

The walk in service at MGH was my go to when I didn’t have insurance.

Hoping you paid Manager1 and did not steal healthcare from those who had to subsidize.

Most providers will take cash if you ask and it is not that expensive at all.

Do NOT just bring them to a hospital. That is incredibly greedy to expect others to subsidize you.

My manager scheduled a feedback conversation and I know it's bc I've made some noticeable mistakes lately due to moving too fast, not being able to focus, racing thoughts, etc. I'm seeing a therapist about whether I have ADHD and if so, what tx looks like; we started the intake process which will be continued in my 2nd appointment, which is after the feedback convo meeting. Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out.

My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>
