Farasha has correctly analyzed how this string took a wrong turn. My take: it is due to a misreading, acute sensitivity and cryptic humor.
It distresses me to see conversations negatively escalate. Most nomads, whether Seniors or newbies, have the best of intentions and are there for you
when needed. There are some, however, whose intentions seem to be malevolent. They are toxic and to be avoided. The best way to handle them is to
ignore them. They hate that, and will continue to try and draw you in. That is not the case in this particular string.
It seems that you have all done an admirable job of diffusing the situation.
And now.....my attempt at humor.....and it may be true:
Because I have read through this entire string and then composed this reply, my bladder is bursting. In my haste to get to the bathroom, I stood up
too fast and now I need at least a cup of blood returned to my head.
Kelly.....I can't represent all Nomads because I am just a step above a newbie on the Nomad foodchain. But, speaking for my lowly self.......Welcome!
Larry.....Keep the humor coming...Now that I have evolved from the embrionic newbie pod.....I get it!

toneart!! You've pretty much nailed it! . I'm happy.  Managed to get a vial+ of blood and the EKG indicated that my heart was
actually beating. Regarding insurance. You're betting against yourself. Your
putting your money on the worst possible scenerio and the company is betting that it won't happen.

My experience and judgment is that I could be driven to the border by car or ambulance in much less time than getting a air-evac out of San Felipe.
My friends who have been aired out took 4-6 hrs to get a plane in and ready to leave. 2 1/2 hrs by land.

Cryptic? Android brains?  Are ya'll trying to scare future nomads? If I hadn't already pee'd in the cup, after this, my peeer would probably shut
down.

Glad to see things have been sorted!!!!!
Sorry Cypress that you waited for the nurse - was OFF Duty, my working hours are 8 hours ahead of Baja time.
Yeah, I know kellychapman how it feels like - jumping to conclusions when distressed can happen, also misreadings.
Thats why I didn't shut up. It was so obvious to me.
A nurses habit - can't have it, if people get mad over nothing.
And situation is getting uncomfortable.
I'm always trying to be of help, if people get stuck then.
Thats what I do all day long here too.
Interesting kellychapman that you work in the same kind of business as I do!!!!! I'm interested to learn more about your job there !!

It'd be nice.......
.....if this thread got back on track. It's an important subject.
Nice try, Lou. Your point is very interesting. Does it take air medvacs so long due to customs constraints in both directions?
How would an ambulance get around the long lines at the border?

I can answer the one about the ambulances
. I just had to follow my mother in an ambulance in to the hospital in Chula Vista. They come in from the side gate on the incoming side that usually
is letting people back in to the lines going back to the states. Then they open a lane for them. Then you wait in secondary for a Chula Vista
ambulance to make a switch and take you on into the states. They have it all worked out and it all happens quite smoothly. k

Thank you so much for your kind words.....I have to admit I felt a bit embarrassed for jumping the gun and getting ahead of myself. I will work my
way up from a "Newbie" and not allow my ego to keep me from taking part in issues on this board. I have to admit this is a first for me as I usually
do not take part in posting messages....at least on this website....lol...I usually get myself in trouble for opening my big mouth..you are so correct
that one does not have to be elderly to need medical care in a hurry as I can count several accidents that have occured here in Loreto for realitively
young people that have needed emergency medical care. Again....my thanks for making me feel less a fool for causing a disruptunce that was a
misunderstanding on my part. Have a great day..... I feel so much better
now....

Farsha, call me stupied for being not being able to answer your question and know what I am talking about....I do not know who DAN is as I am new to
this business.....however, I can tell you that we cover ambulance service to and from the hospital to the airport.....all expenses....that also
includes release from the hospital and ambulance back to the airport to get home again.....of course if you use a Baja address we will get you back
here....I would love to know who or what DAN is as of course we would work with anyone who is an ambulance to get you to the airport....Maybe I need
some more coffee and wake up and do some research on your question....
Have a great day!!!!

muchas gracias...I will check it out....I need all the help I can get to interact these companies if necessary in order to get immediate care and any
company that works together.....but most importantly make sure the accident or ill person does not have to pay anything out of pocket or rob a bank to
pay the bill.....your so kind....
