May not be PC but most of us around here call him Dr. Scary (because of the way he usually dresses).

What do you mean PC Bob? Dr. Raymundo is an excellent physician and is very knowledgeable and highly respected. He likes to show his physique off, and he normally will take his shirt off to bare his chest and show you he hasn't an ounce of fat on his abdomen. He does like wearing those 70's John Travolta outfits and he can get away with it, even if he is over 50!

The Alice's restaurant in Arlo Guthrie's song is located on Skyline drive just off highway 84 between Los Altos and La Honda. It was named for Alice M. Brock, the orginal owner.

Um, that would be Dr. Escary, right?

So let me see if I have this pictured correctly. A bunch of retired gringos, some with gray haired pony tails, some with beer bellies, some dressed in clothes bought at the local street stand, some in shorts and thongs with faded military tatoos go to a buffed out old Mexican doctor dressed in 70s polyester disco dance club outfits to buy narcotics?

Photos please! :spingrin:

?Well, in some quarters it would not be Politically Correct to refer to an excellent, very knowledgeable and highly respected physician by a descriptive term based on the scary way he dresses. Of course, in Orange County where PC was invented, you would never walk into a Doctors office and be greeted by someone not wearing a shirt and with skin tight pink pants.

The overriding reason for Mexico's changes in the over the counter drug consumption had nothing to do with pain killers or the drug wars. They finally woke up the huge abuse of antibiotics.

As you may well know, frequent use of antibiotics will lead to them no longer working in your body.

Historically, Mexicans ran to the farmacia for penicillin and Z-pac or whatever, whenever they felt a sore throat or had the sniffles. The results of this massive overuse was especially dangerous for young children.

I applaud te Mexican government for putting an end to such abuse.

HORSE-HOCKEY. Antibiotics are still totally readily available in Baja Sur in any pharmacia, any kind, any dosage, no scrip. Sowwy, Hawood.

You're correct in that none of my drugs are pain meds. On that subject, last year after my heart surgery my surgeon, cardiologist and primary MD each asked me if I needed pain med. I could have hoarded quite a supply but only accepted enough to get me through the first couple of weeks.

Kurt, I have to be creative. BTW, I have 5 stents AND a collateral I grew on my own, so no zipper yet; but do have a compression fractured spine that makes fishin' a little tougher than it used to. Good going with your new tubes; ENJOY, and rip some lips !!

I thought your PC was short for Pain Control, but didn't think I was correct. He's cool, Dr. Esquer. We all must be tolerant of differences in personalities and individuality.

No he isn't a pusher for sure. I myself have never gotten pain medication from him or any other physician in Mexico, and only for two dental procedures in the States about 5 years apart. I have very bad nausea if I take vicodin or any other opioid medication. I did have an ER physician offer me Vicodin at Grossmont Hospital over 10 years ago for a urinary tract infection, but I told him I didn't want it due to the side effects.

He's not scary at all. He's a very compassionate man and very friendly. He could be classified as offbeat, but who cares? Take a selfie and post it and I'd like to see it! Would you say you look any better than Dr. Esquer or some of the gringos that are his patients? He is there to serve the community. His clientele is largely Mexicans and SOME Americans.

All I can say is that anyone buying antibiotics at a local farmacia should really beware of what they are getting.

The Mexican government absolutely made antibiotics controlled for the reasons I mentioned.

So, if you walk into some storefront farmacia, you will really not be getting what you think you are buying.

Buddha guy, try and go into a Walmart or a Costco, or any major store and buy antibiotics over the counter.

Hawood, I was an EMT, I do know the last resort is antibiotics, and even in the U.S. antibiotic PRESCRIPTIONS are at an all-time dangerous high, so preach to the doctors. I was stating fact, they're still readily available at all Mexican farmacias.... the Mex. Gov't busted pain meds, not Keflex. Tha's all, dude.
