Medical Story, a bit long!

There is some good competent medical care here, you just have to find it. Good information, thanks!

Very good, I hope the treatment you get solves your issue.  So glad you did not give up your search to find a good one and lucky in your city, you had some choices.  Thanks for sharing.

Wow - no one should have to go through all that to get answers!

Thats fantastic!  Thanks for sharing the information.  That is truly one of the greatest benefits of Expat.com

I’m glad you found good, respectful help. It is encouraging. Also a reminder to be an advocate for myself.

Planner we are so happy that you were able to get to the bottom of this.

Question, does this clinic have a Cardiologist?

we’re trying to find a reputable one.

I am happy for you!

Question, how is it that you can post a referral? I was told that we cannot do that.

Yes there is an amazing cardiologist!

I confirmed the rules are back to normal=the way they had always been!!!!

@planner Hope everything works out for you. If at all possible I will go back to the states for any serious medical situations. Sorry but I don't trust these DR doctors. There's a recent story going viral about a young Dominican girl/woman who died while undergoing, yeah you guessed it, COSMETIC SURGERY. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

There are many stories about plastic surgery here in this country.  Similar stories apply to other countries as well. I believe the lastest was surgery performed and the doctor was not a plastic surgeon!  Can you imagine!!!

In many of these cases it's complicated.  Doctors push the boundaries of good medicine, patients lie and aftercare can be iffy! I do know the government here is cracking down but it's too slow!

Always remember drlover, sometimes leaving isn't possible, best have a backup plan!

@planner

so smart for not settling for #3 or # 4 , people start making bad choices when there desperate they’ll settle for less experienced doctors  , not worth giving up… why shouldn’t your heart and lungs be that of a 40 year old, remember it not how old you are it’s how old you feel , besides it can’t be to far off….🤞

I love you!!!!  It's more than a little off. I guess it's the dancing I used to do and soon will get back to!

Planner keep doing the 2 step , it’s working …😉

Thanks for the info. It's always good to have list of Drs and their locations no matter where they are in country, IF they are good and they are the speciality needed, one may have to reach out to contact. As Expats, we ALL know we travel (yes albeit on far better transportation routes & modes of tn) some distances to see doctors we get referred to so knowing Drs on SD, Santiago, PC etc, etc is awesome.
