It's true - "specialty care" through the County system takes months. I hope Jimmy has an advocate helping him negotiate the system. Since it's all funded by the County, he can go to any County facility (King-Harbor, LAC-USC, Olive View). The trick is to figure out which one can get him in the fastest. If he's a CHAP patient, I might be able to help. I’m guessing that he’s waiting for a neurology consultation. It’s true - “specialty care” through the County system takes months.

I hope he gets to see the right doctor soon. Drs. Oz and Roisen (sp?) -- the "you on a diet" guys -- wrote a book about advocating for your own health with doctors and how to navigate the system. I picked it up for my aunt who was having problems with a correct diagnosis/treatment and read it and think that it has some good tips. I can't remember exactly what it is called now, but it's yellow. He may want to check it out. Gorgeous pictures. I need to move to California. Florida has a lot of great fresh produce, but we definitely don't have the variety of crops -- like apricots. Man, I’ll keep him in my thoughts. I hope he gets to see the right doctor soon. Drs.

I'm also going to try and get a better understanding of what his doctors have said thus far and why USC - I'm assuming it's a particular department they're trying to get him into.

I really suggest your friend get over to one of the UCLA hospitals now. UCLA Harbor Medical Center does help people even if they don't have insurance. It's horrible what the medical profession has turned into. Hoping for the best for your friend. Lovely photos!
