Do your US doctor a favor for this Christmas Moishe and buy him a present - a heated turban.
US healthcare is similarly slipping into incompetency. There are as many bad doctors in Mexico as there are in the US these days.
But by federal Mexican law, doctors MUST stabilize a patient enough to allow transport to a facility of their choice. At no charge.
I now carry an Rx of USA oxycodone 20mg tablets because anything stronger than 5 grains of codeine with Tylenol (TYLEX) is freakin' near impossible to get. Ten days in hospital. TYLENOL strongest pain reliever offered. And I had to send a messenger across the street to a ripoff priced farmacia to purchase all my non IV medications. What is a ripoff? Try fifty cents US each for Tylenol, and cardiac medication priced 400% that of my local farmacia. And this was as a public SEGURO POPULAR hospital.
Hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..................silly rabbit. You think the food in a USA hospitsl is bad. Frisbee tortillas, canned refried beans, brown lettuce, and a chicken leg that must have spent most of it's life in a Soviet work camp.
