Should we?
Someone recently posted a thread about back pain and beds which made me think about something....
Should we ask for a separate headline that reads medical issues? I fully understand that the idea here is everything Baja, but we have formed a
wonderful community and someone will always have valid info. about almost any medical issue we can come up with.
Just wondering if others agree....should we?

-----the problem with posting ANYTHING in OFF TOPIC is that few dare to go there, and those that do (including me) are suspect.

I vote for a separate heading regarding medical issues and help. There are a lot of old timers here and we will need info or do need help now.

With all us old farts on this board, we could easily have an ailment discussion, which post count could rival the turtle soup one.
But...count me in.

DONT APOLOGIZE. I have nomads to thank many times over for help in finding the optometrist in La Paz. Helped me beyond anything with the info on
CPap machines. (which . Les uses and I am soooooo happy now) .
That is why I think a separate (even an off topic 2 ???) thread headline might be good.
cabonotcho, I am glad you posted and got good responses!

Add Healthcare, prevention & wellness vs medical issues only?
It's often said we don't have a healthcare system in the US, we have an illness management system. That's one reason it costs so much!
With that in mind, I'd support a new topic with info on ways Nomads are living a healthy lifestyle in Baja, advice on preventing health problems, and
recommendations on finding healthcare providers when needed, based on your experiences.

I say no...seems like Baja Nomads is mushrooming into many topics beyond Baja. I'm sure there are plenty of other message boards to talk about health
related issues, music, non Baja travel, etc.

I tried using numerous "general health forums" to gain information that would be useful in Baja California.
It does not work at all for me and I'll tell you why...
A responder may likely recommend a medication or treatment that is not available in Mexico. In this case the word "likely" is like 99%
There are communication and payment issues that are unique.
Baja California is unique, which means it is nothing like mainland Mexico.
Medical facilities in Chula Vista and San Diego are unique. When people seek a reference on a medical site, they are guaranteed to receive either no
answer or an irrelevant answer. School of hard knocks dept.
Avoiding a topic that does not interest you is so easy to do. Avoiding a topic SECTION a dedicated forum means "a non-click". You don't even have to
close your eyes. How hard is that?
So the real issue should be if Señor Bajanomad Administrator wants to go through all the time and trouble to set up and maintain another forum. It may
be best to label such a forum as "Baja Related Medical And Health Issues". I believe one thing for certain, such a forum would be unique.
