MEXICOWANDERER
Dec 18, 2018Explorer
Even though I still have an EMT qualification, I s-t-u-p-i-d-l-y ignored the recommendations to get a flu shot last year and I paid a heavy price -- almost too weak to get out of bed last May. Absolutely zero appetite and no thirst. Friends forced me to drink rehydradition liquid. Scared the bejeezus out of me later.
Public inoculations are FREE to anyone in Mexico. I was last stabbed at the entrance of a Bodega Aurrera supermarket. I read the label. Serum was from Pasteur lab in Switzerland. Expert jabbers too :)
Much of my IMSS education came in the cafeteria of an IMSS second tier hospital. Trauma doctors and hospital administration staff. Drs Marco A Molina Collins and Rogelio Quintero. I gathered tens of thousands of dollars worth of brand new 1st class defibrillators, Electrocardiographs, Ambulance electrical repair parts and upgrades, and then spent weeks of donated time installing the equipment. Helped get a perfierico established in Chucutican Michoacan, and spent time and money for vastly improved lighting, and medical equipment.
My reward, my compensation was learning about the IMSS system. Facts not fiction.
So yeah I'm a little tender and grouchy when I encounter missing facts and mis stated facts. I am by no means an expert. But I am involved.
And I would have much preferred to remain anonymous.
