 Have you ever seen the spinning wheels of a slot-machine? That's what your
tab does.
Velmar is as proud of themselves as they are good. Doctors working there don't drive Volkswagons.
Neither do the Janitors. |
No they dont drive V.W's my dr. there drives a old 80's modle Mercury and he is a co. owner of the place

I'm not too good with finances and would hate for something to go wrong on my watch, i'm glad to help out but handling money is a bit too much
responsability for me atm...I hope you understand that I'm not saying no out of selfishness, I do it because I don't want anything to go wrong.
I'm happy to be the wheels tho =)

Ron and Cristina have the Mexican health insurance Seguro Popular. In July he posted they both have it in case a catastrophic event should happen.
" Cristina and I both signed up and we pay zero - nada. We do go to local, private doctors for just regular, everyday stuff like my BP medication,
back aches, etc. Even paying out of pocket it's quick, cheap and easy.
We mainly keep the seguro popular as a backup for catastrophic care type needs... "
Make the hospital bill Seguro Popular because this is a clinic in their network. That should allow him to be moved without any good-intentioned
Nomads being needlessly fleeced.

The U.S. is obviously the first choice! If he cannot be moved ASAP, damn the cost, get him to Velmar. Cristina too if needed!!!

Sirenita / Shari / Nomads....
715pm Pac time
I just received another call from Celia with Binational. She said that their doctor contact Dr. Geraldo Lugo has been to both hospitals and is
awaiting the daughters arrival.
He has an ambulance standing by for transport. he said they were both in critical condition. nothing can be done until the daughter arrives and signs
the paperwork.
Does anyone know if Cristina has US immigration status as Ron's wife? Be sure to find out if Ron is a navy vet too!

Let me know in case Celia calls again.

This is very sobering. Without a relative to sign off you are stuck in Mexico in spite of having the means to get out??????

Woot you go man!! TY so much for being the middle man and arranging that!
Chava said he would call when Ron's family arrive but if he doesn't call soon I'll give him a shout and see if he can give me that info, unfortunatly
izaak just went down for the night which limits me to doing things from the house until Adrian gets home, but if there is an emergency or i'm needed
badly i'll see if i can get a babysitter...

More than once Ron has made mention of the fact he was a Nuclear Sub Guy.

Also...
Celia also told me that Dr. Lugo also owns the ambulance company. She said that the last time he transported a severe burn victim it was $1200 dollars
and that it included a doctor onboard during the transportation.
FYI..Up until now, Celia has not requested or mentioned money for services. I only found out about the cost when I asked her.
I'm assuming the evac charges would be billed to the family or insurance by the ambulance company.
So hold onto your wallets a bit longer.

From the relatives I have that have used the U.S. vet facilities they had to have a card stating their eligibility. I may be wrong but I have my
father-in-laws vet card that he said was very important. Also, would Cristina be covered. They may be better at a hospital in Tijuana.

Along with Pompano, we will offer $1000 to go towards transferring Ron to a facility that can TREAT his injuries, and/or if there is a remote chance
of transferring Cristina to a higher level facility. |
Count me in for the same. [thank you Roger for getting this ball rolling] |
I'm in for $1,000 also, just need to know how and when to pay.

Alrighty, just called Chava but no answer on his cell, which makes me think he's busy talking to family or doctors or both? hopefully!
Still standing by for more news...best case scenario would be to be able to get him safely to a U.S. hospital or at least Velmar so that he can be
treated, both him and his wife. Let's keep those fingers crossed and those prayers flowing guys!
