Adequate and timely medical attention.

Precise, timely and truthful information about your prognosis, diagnosis and treatment.
LO SEIENTO MUCHO SEÑOR BUT YOU ARE INDEED BIEN TRECHO. DAR ORACIONES A LA VIRGEN.

THIS IS WHERE THEY DO NOT SCREW AROUND. HEART, BLEEDING, OR BROKEN BONE, YOU GO INTO AN EMERGENCY ROOM AND THEY HUSTLE THEIR BUTT HELPING.

IN THE USA WHEN THE DOCTOR SHOWS UP FOR A MALPRACTICE SUIT WITHOUT FOUR SOLID INCHES THICK OF LAB REPORTS, HE AUTOMATICALLY LOSES THE CASE. NOT THE CASE IN MEXICO. YOU WON'T NEED A FURNITURE MOVING DOLLY TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS OUT THE FRONT DOOR
