I would do more if I could but I can't. I am leaving for work in Honduras and Cuba in a few days and don't want to take on something I can't finish.

LL is out of town more often than not. I don't think he would consider it.

I trust Lizard Lips, and certainly value his input and opinions. Because his schedule is frequently like that noted above, I was not going to assume
anything. Happy to hear any other suggestions as well. Maybe even try to get a couple of people - to possibly ensure some "checks and balances".
I'd only mentioned two people that had already gotten involved, as well as established a connection with daughter Christine already.
Open to any thoughts. How about Dennis, who's certainly demonstrated his concerns here as well for the welfare of Ron and Cris? I'd hate for this
topic to have to go on for another 5-10 pages though... as well as resulting in no action/activity. Just sayin'....

It would be of exceptional interest if MRIs are noted on the receipt.
Please insist on an itemized accounting.
If there is mention of MRI....please make mental note of it and don't question it in their office.

It's crystal clear now that Ron did not, and is not getting the best possible care for his injury. And the "tug of war" is occuring because of the
frustration over that knowledge and not being able to do anything to change it.
Whether the care he's receiving is adequate we will only know after it's over. But there were better options and nomads were willing to pay for them.

Just ONE last thing and then I'm DONE here...I've already said too much and been too outspoken!!
Has anyone called The Governor of Baja yet?
Would probably be easiest to call from within Baja.
Does anyone have a phone number or personal e-mail for Antonio/Baja Cactus? I think he has many connections to Baja's Tourism officials and maybe even
the Governor.

On a lighter note....it just occured to me that being a Nomad is just like having an insurance policy. Pretty cool, huh.

perhaps money could be electronically transferred to angel & doug's bank account as they are going to be paying bills when they arrive
tomorrow...perhaps U2U angel for details and to give financial assistance.
I understand that Ron's daughter is making decisions based on her investigations and am confident she is able to do that...that being said...her
decisions are based upon what is being reported by the doctor. Please dont judge her as there are mitigating circumstances we werent aware of in her
life and she did the best she could at the time. It also sounds like Cristina's family are there with her which is great.
It would be fantastic if LL could stop in for another visit this evening to see how Ron's jaw operation went today..cant hurt to have some live on
scene reporting....keep those prayers coming folks.

It would be nice to have some numbers to consider.

What is needed now (and I think that is what you are saying) is for someone to organize a fund-raising. Not a promise of pledges, but actual money in
an actual account. It is my understanding that is what the family needs most at this point. Personally, I think it would be useful to that end, for
Ron's daughter to confirm that, but if she is not comfortable doing so, someone should take on that task as a proxy for her. I cannot be that person,
for many reasons. What I can do is bring down cash from any account that does get set up if it is on this side.
Please U2U me with any requests, etc., I don't think I will be posting on this thread any longer.

For whatever it is worth, I went to the Baja California Governor website and sent a message to the Governor.

Hopefully he will get it.

I am driving south to BOLA on Friday. I just talked to Carol at Discover Baja travel and insurance. She is willing to hold any money you would like to
donate, for me to take to Ensenada on Friday. I will need to set a meeting place to give the money to some one, since i am towing a boat a will not be
very maneuverable.

I live too far to be a good advocate or handle anyones finances, and can only leave my little boys for two days maximum. But, when I get there
tomorrow, I will talk to Cristina's family about a bank account for funds to be transfered. I know that every amount donated regardless of size will
be appreciated and all prayers as well. I also don't have any authority to inquire into medical procedures. And if HIPAA laws down in Mexico are
anything like the ones we have here it will be nearly impossible for the hospital to disclose that to a family friend. But, again we will do our best
to provide asistantance to the family as much as it is allowed.

Any chance to tap into the account with the 5 million pesos Ron got for the abalone project a few months back? Seems the abalone won't need it if Ron
isn't there.

NEVER SAY NEVER, it won't hurt to
try. Somebody has to find out what the hell is going on down there, before Ron no longer has need for financial help.

Bring the receptionist a big box of gooey chocolates and she'll share her most guarded secrets. Honest.

Thanks Dennis for sharing the article very insightful and factual. Yes, I will sneak in a few chocolates, but hopefully Ron won't snatch them for
himself. Baja1943 I didn't say I wouldn't put my reporter hat on... I just know that there will be some limitations.
