You sir, with all due respect, are a bonehead. Go crawl back into your foreskin.

I can only assume you were drunk or high when you wrote this reply. An apology to the lady is in order, sir.

5 of us here in Lopez followed EnsendadDr.s instructions to the letter.

Got the CURP card through the local registrar, had our FM3's (not 2.s), electric bills - even tho' not in our names . . . . and got our Seguro Popular cards (sheet now) valid for 3 years covering catastrophes and everything . . . for free - in February and March.

And have used the service. It is GREAT! Thank you.

EnsenadaDr
I don't know you but reading your posts has been great, your going will be good for your life, but I can see you are going to leave a big hole in this area, and a lot of people will know after you are gone, how much they have lost. Good Luck on your adventure and be a damn good US Doctor. Tim

If the doctor can find out if there is an estate, or which state and court the estate will be doing probate, he or someone on his behalf should file a claim. All bill or the person are bills of the estate. IF she had nothing there is no way to force family to pay.

What happened was a good friend of mine had arranged payments with a surgeon and he had agreed on half up front and the other half (paid monthly) to him. She has about $2000 American left to pay, and died suddenly (though was an alcoholic for many years). I agreed to help the family who lived in the Northern United States to arrange for her cremation and get all the paperwork done. I did this only so the doctor, who I had done my internship with, would get the money owed to him. This doctor was a very ethical man, and did everything by the book. The family had money, by the way. I asked them for the money to be paid directly to the surgeon after I had spent countless hours and all of a sudden they didn't want to hear anything about it. So, I let them finish what needed to be done, and her ashes were shipped to the family. I did contact her lawyer, but she never answered me. I guess I could file a final bill with the state of residency of her daughter, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. The Mexican doctor doesn't speak much English so he wouldn't know how to go about it.

you make valid points. but going into the doctor without being able to pay for special services reeks of the U.S. system. I'm not advocating people not getting treatment but i do wonder why we treat people on death row with terminal diseases. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=90611&page=1

also, when a person dies their debts are not transfered to their heirs. that's what debtors prison was all about. if it is different in Mexico i'd like to hear about it.

have a good weekend!
