Beeza, it is of great interest to me to read your comments. I cannot imagine how scary it must have been to have had a small child so ill, and to feel as if the people who were supposed to be helping were not. I hope that your son is better, and a refuah sh'leimah for a complete healing.
However, my experience with RD health care has been so positive, and I have had two life-threatening experiences in the 4 years since I have returned. Once was as the result of amoebas, and the other was when I was hit by a concho and broke both my legs, my foot, and had a flesh wound that turned necrotic. It was very scary. But -- and I know there are differences of opinion on this -- CMC in Sosua worked out very well for me. When I went back to my bone guy in CT to check up on the two broken legs, he told me he would not have done anything differently than the medicos did here. So that was reassuring.
Sorry that your experience was so horrific. Hope you and your family will be returned to good and robust health! The 2.5 World can certainly kick the S**t out of you!
you Yanks entertain me. you cannot imagine how scary it must have been to have a small child so ill. Meems, 4 year old kids barf from time to time. so do 14 year olds. and 40 year olds. it is no biggie. at least not to us denizens of the third world.
