Viva Mexican Medicine!!
Our friend Clay just went through a scary little episode where his heart rate suddenly developed a galloping mind of its own. Last week, he went to the new Heart Institute in nearby Queretaro to have his heart "zapped" and this past Friday celebrated both his return to cardiac normalcy and his birthday. Here's an excerpt from the note he sent to all his concerned friends and fans:
"My hat is off to Dr. Maxwell and Mexican medicine as I have experienced it, Hospital de La Fe in San Miguel, Instituto de Corazon de Queretaro, Hospital Medica Tec 100 in Queretaro. It was always friendly, always personal and caring, I never waited anywhere for anything, I was never treated like a number or a risk that had to be avoided, I had my doc's cell phone number and he always answered, he always went with to the hospital and introduced me to other docs. Add to that the whole thing being done for half the cost of my deductible in the U.S. and it's a win all around."
Friendly, personal, caring, effective and affordable… How hard can this health care reform thing be?
