RMC Hospital, SAT - Update July 2019

A couple photos I took today while the architect was making his rounds.

Renewed another three years of Seguro Popular. Still no charge if over 60. Went into 11 days intensive anti-biotic treatment (iv drip) to finally beat mutating e coli. with General Hospital Occidental, It was starting to effect my heart. Public ward, immersion Spanish, great staff, and they are doing a wonderful job restoring the grand old lady. All new beds/mattresses, gurneys, wheelchairs. There are still some annoying problems, like it takes 4 to 6 hours to discharge you. But the price is still worth it. Next will be the ancient Civil Hospital, which will take over one year to restore and recreate.
I am semi retired now. For me, time is just time. For younger people, time is money, and there is always a burning shortage of both.

Thanks for the info, Chillin, I need to renew, did you do it Centro Salud in Chapala or at the hospital?

Good to know chillin.
I just spent 2 nights in old sp hospital.
Not the most pleasant experience especially for my partner, but staff, docs, nurses great.
Hope they get funds to upgrade it.
Thankful its available to us.

Renew at the Chapala Seguro Popular clinic. I have never been to the Civil hospital, I understand they are much stricter than Occidentale about requiring family members, or employees, staying with you and assisting with your care. Generally, they seemed to have cut back on a lot of staff, especially interns, but generally they more than keep up, and seem in good spirits. One tip, try to remember people's names - this is important to them and good mental excercise.
