another forum topic?


Dear Mr. Administrator:


Hi! I was just wondering if it would be possible or even disireable on your part to have a separate topic heading for Baja Medical Issues/concerns ?

Reason being, Les and I are really in an extremely remote part of Baja. And it seems that in the past 2 years, as Les is older and seemingly has more health issues - I have more health questions! It isn't like I can swing over to a neighbor's house or even a doctor friend's house and ask pertinent, real life, down to earth information. And I am positive there are enough elders present on this forum, who can answer almost any dilemma I can conjure up.

In the past, I have posted anyways and have gotten the best advice I could have hoped for... but I felt a bit guilty doing it since it isn't a specific topic.

Whattdyathink? and Thanks for the great service you provide.

Blanca,

I think you may be right. I'm currently traveling on business and will more fully consider options upon my return.

Thank you for your very kind consideration in putting this idea out there.

Should the forum being proposed be specific to Medical and/or Dental discussions, or have a broader scope - say, of "Health & Wellness"?

What would the forum description say? Any suggestions?

Thank you for any input.

Mood: Move on. It is just a chapter in the past, but don't close the book- just turn the page

I agree as well. But it is time consuming for Doug to go through all of the posts concerning medical issues and then flag them to be placed in the new topic forum. but well worth the effort for the members, new and established. Especially IMSS, Seguro popular, other insurances such as lifeflight, Medivac, alternative health treatments, curanderos, you get the idea.

Doug won't have time to do anything like that, but the members will. After the forum is created, we can move past topics into the forum as we stumble across them in our travels throughout the site. :light:

I love this idea for a new topic Blanca. Some ideas for the topic name:


Health and Medicine


Healthcare and Medical


Health and Medical


Yes, I know, all similar, but I think this is what it all boils down to -- these two words.


I like Health and Wellness too.....


My favorite is Health and Medicine. If you think about what is posted here the most regarding this topic, the majority fall under "Health and Medicine". Probably the most common is where to get cheap "Medicine".

Baja Health/Medical/Dental

It covers proactive activites promoting health: yoga - tai chi - zumba

It covers any medical questions like mine about sleep apnea

And boy, we all need dental doc names addresses referrals

Don't worry. There'll be plenty of them. Everybody has a "best doctor in Mexico" for one reason or another. [lawyer too] :lol:
