I am creating the thread to address a topic that I believe Rick think's that is important as he is looking on us down from above.
It has to do with creating a contigency plan to get one's self to the hospital in case of emergency, and have the necessary medicine or equipment to make it happen.
I don't know all the in's and outs of Rick's circumstances, all I know was that in the short time that I knew him that he was a good guy and made a great impression on me. I'm sure others there are others out there who were better and worthier friends than I but Rick made an impression on me and I can't stop thinking about the fact that he left us so soon - it was really like a low blow. In spite of our short time together me and Rick seemed to hit it off as we had similar ideas and a lot in common in our lives, ex military, married to a Dominican, living in the DR and hoping for change for the better here AND willing to do something about it.
Therefore I am sure and without a doubt feel I have Rick's blessing to advise those who live in the DR to create a contingency plan in case of emergency to get to the doctor. Also, one needs to have the necessary equipment and medicine to make sure that one has the best chance of surviving a medical event. The fact is one cannot by any means count on the Ambulances, nor policeman, nor fire trucks to arrive on time here. People need to be prepared and if that means having atropine and a de-fibrilator make it happen and make sure everyone knows how to use.
Again, I feel confident this is what Rick want and would like to say to him thanks for being such a good friend to all of us here at DR1 and we miss you and may God bless and take care of your family.
