of course she can stay with us as long as needed.
I'm calling back now to see if there is any development, although if he was conscious he would be able to give consent?

Ok, the number is 646-178-3477
The woman said that as soon as they get family consent they can start proceedures, and thatas far as transportation goes there if a form that needs to
be filled out by a family member, but this can only be done after talking to the doctors to see if it's safe to move him.
She also said Chava had just been there and said that Ron's daughter was on her way???

probably an american ambulance could be arranged to meet a mexican ambulance at secondary in at the border in TJ...that's what we did in our medivac
from GN...the patient was a fireman so his buddies arranged the ambulance on the american side to meet at secondary for the transfer.

The Mexican ambulance service can arrange for American paramedics to be ready at the border. A friend of mine who lives in TJ had an emergency, called
the Mexican Red Cross, an ambulance was at his house in 10 minutes and they took him straight to the border. Paramedics were waiting. Ambulances and
other emergency vehicles have a special access that avoids the lines.

sirenita reports that the doctors are standing by ready to start some sort of treatment when they get permission from a family member....usually
written but in this emergency they said a phone call would do...in order to transfer him, his bill will have to be liquidated first so there may be
some scrambling to get some cash together for this...which will most likely be paid back by the medical plan.

This happened last night and as of 2:15pm today they are waiting for family consent to begin treatment? You've got to be kidding, he could have been
in San Diego twelve hours ago not waiting. This can't be true.

I think the issue is that when a patient is in a delicate condition, if the hospital makes a decision and the outcome is negative they are held
responsible, which is why in the great majority of hospitals here and everywhere they hesitate to act without family consent...
Maybe not the right way to do things but we have to work with what he have =(

are you kidding me? He has not received ANY medical treatment yet? If Ron is confirmed as ex-navy by his daughter- find some way to get him and his
wife to San Diego ASAP. It's four hours away and his situation has to be deteriorating without treatment. Seriously. I don't know anything about
emergency VA transport- but surely someone here must. Keep hanging in there for him- you are doing what you can!

Probably because no one knew what to do or who to call. Perhaps this illustrates a need for a firm plan of action for the future.
Thank God for Mike or we may still be unaware of this mess.

Sorry, Shari
Been there, done that and here is what happened.
I followed the Mexican ambulance to the border that was carrying my husband.
Yes, they cut across the lines and we crossed the border quickly, but the SD paramedics on the other side would not take him to the VA hospital.
The Mexican ambulance attendants carefully transferred my husband to my back seat and I drove him to the VA hospital.

Jan...was it something like they had to take him to the closest hospital and not the VA hospital? I seem to remember something like that.

I called the Naval Hospital and they wouldn't give me any info without authorization. They would not tell me whether emergency medical transport for
Navy vets exists and how to access it. Not really what I was expecting from them.
