Phil
Where did you get that 1 to 2 million cost amount to build a plant ? It would be more like you forgot a couple of zeros.

Politics in Loreto:
One time not so far back in the Past, there was Politican running for Presidente of Baja Sur.
He came to Loreto to speak about what he would do for Loreto; Bleachers were set up in front of Hotel Oasis, many people came to hear him speak. But
lo and behold as he rose and approached the Mike, all the people turned their backs on Him!!
finally an elderly Women[85] named Rosa turned and ask to speak for the people of Loreto.
The Politicain listened to her, made some promises to the People of Loreto, that she had requested.
Legallities in Baja depend on who is in control at the Time, especially Loreto.
Did you ever wonder why there was limited medical Service in Loreto, Why the Good Samartians are not allowed into Loreto?? Look into it.
If the People of Loreto decided that they were fed up with a given situtation they would take matters into their own Hands and change it.
I beleive that Loreto will Survive as it has in the Past.

Vandenberg. I had a feeling it was you, but wanted to protect your privacy since you chose Anon. The two million I was referring to was the cost of
the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach system that I visited in November. No shortage of water up here in S.W'ern Oregon & north western Cal. either.
Dams are nice if they don't break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skeet. I'm the wrong one to ask that, as I'm as healthy as a " buzzard that lives off road kill". I know of Dr. Green, and Dr. Davis, and am
acquainted with a doctor that I really liked, whose name escapes me right now. He works out of a little clinic off off one of the side streets near
the Big Loreto police station. Speaks excellent English. Walks with a handicap. Last I heard about him, he lost his license due to an addiction to
pain pills because of his disability. He fixed me up one year with a nebulizer treatment when I had come down with bronchitis. I got a very thorough
examination. He even checked out my brothers lungs & my wifes lungs while he was there. He came all the way to Nopolo and charged me $20.00 u.s.
I got over the breathing problem in about four days.
Pam. Would you mind answering Skeets medical question? I just don't know what's happening in that department. Thanks

EL Doctor
Phil the name of the doctor who's name you had forgotten is doctor Fernando. He perscribed meds for me three weeks ago that kicked my bad flu. I had
to go in for a series of shots and saw a defribulator in the room where they give injections, didn't look too new and don't know if it works. I know
that few med conditions can be handled in Loreto. No x-ray that's functioning. I know because I had a daughter with a broken arm that had to be
brought to Constitucion. Most births take place in constitucion as well. Loreto is seriously lacking in hospital facilities and I'm convinced that
any development along those lines that's being backed by LB is to help sell those properties not to help the community, but it will end up helping the
community anyway. Last year there was supposed to be a ground breaking of a new hospital but it still has not taken place. I was informed that the
funding is enough to cover the land and a portion of the proposed building only, but not the furnishings inside or the medical equipment. Perhaps a
better immediate alternative would be to have a medivac plane or helicopter at the airport full time.

Thanks Phil and Pam;
About 4 years ago,a women named paulina, who owned a House out North was working on getting a Dibulator. Even if you wanted the use of it , necessary
to get Help in Constitution.
There is very good medical only 90 miles away and in my opinion much better thatn waiting on a Plane from the States!; those guys bid on your Rescue
while you await the Low Bidder.
Hope for a hospital soon.

Pam. That is good news about Fernando. (a name that is not in my vocabulary very often, so had forgotten it. But not him)
I'm glad to see he is working again. Do you know if the Xray facility that Dr. Collins was putting together (someone contributed an xray machine????)
and they were getting donations for building the building next to the hospital. Know anything about that Pam? Thanks for your time on this.

Vandenburg...
I'm well aware of Skeets knowledge but couldn't pass on that little one!
Knew exactly what he meant....
Hopefully some Doctors who buy into Loreto Bay will step up and see that Loreto starts getting the equipment and supplies a hospital needs. This is
only the beginning. Land is always the first step. That's a great point to bring up next trip!
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.

Mayo/or is it MiracleWhip?
If my spelling or lack of it annoys anyone, Please go to the next Post and disregard!
Many, many years ago a local person brought an X-ray down. I heard that no one had parts to it.
Short Story' How Dr. Gustavo Morallias, Dr. Renee Hibiff saved my wifes's Life.
1992 my wife and just arrived in Loreto from a Trip to the States, It was Feb. 14{ our anniversiy} .Went to dinner at Domingo's_El Nido} had a great
Meal and a few Totties. The following morning my Wife awoke with a very bad Belly ache, so took her to the clinic and got to see a Doctor that
afternoon. He told us she must of ate too much the psast evening! Gave her a Shot of Morphine which made my wife very happy and stopped all Pain!!!
The following Morning after the Shot wore off whe was very bad, I jumped in my trusty little Toyota and drove as fast as I could to the General
Hospital in Villa' The emergency took us in, called a doctor,sent me to the Private Lab for a Blood Test.
The blood work was ready in no time and when I got back to the hospital, they were wheeling her into the Operating Roon--# Doctors , 2 Nurses=
I stopped the action and ask the Doctor if it might be better to go to La Paz?
He replied that she only had about 4 hours to Live!!!
Her Appendi had been leaking for a several Days and that she had "Peranitics".
She was in the Hospital 1 week. I paid the Total Bill--It was $61.00.
Surgery-Doctors- Room== And all on Sunday
