I agree. I think she was on Medicare and/or Medicaid. She should have been able to see the best vasculitis docs at UW rheumatology clinic or other places like Virginia Mason in Seattle. With that many diseases and issues, she absolutely needed the best possible. She didn't want to travel that far but was treated at the Multi-Care clinic in Tacoma, from what she told me. But somewhere near the end she was admitted to a Seattle hospital, possibly more than once. It may have been Swedish medical center, but I'm not sure. One of our Facebook vasculitis friends visited her there. Then she was home for awhile, maybe a couple of weeks or a month before she died. Things kept changing so fast for her that it was hard to keep track.
