Pet Antibiotics for My Daughter
 United States  adulthood
Master Registry #32 | Healthcare, MSA, LifeLine Medications
Setting: Adulthood, desperate healthcare moment
“If you have ever gone to the pet supply store to buy antibiotics for your dog because you can’t afford to take your daughter to the doctor, then we have something in common.
The only time I ever had medical coverage in my life was when I was active duty. Or free clinics, who took out a couple of my teeth, over the years, once the infection spread to the top of my mouth and throat so I had to take 12 ibuprofen a day to be able to breathe past it.
So I know the hustle it takes to stay alive and take care of our loved ones. And I want a better way, and I can’t find one, so we’ll just have to make it ourselves.”
Key Details:
- Bought pet antibiotics because couldn’t afford doctor
- Only had medical coverage during active duty
- Free dental clinic  waited 2 hours for tooth extraction
- Infection spread to mouth and throat
- 12 ibuprofen/day to breathe
Key Lesson: The hustle shouldn’t be required just to breathe. This is why LifeLine Medications and LB MSA exist.
