RE: I Survived a Heart Attack in Costa Rica

in #healthcare2 years ago

I came across this as I was surfing through posts. I truly people like you are survivors! That is more than an event! I am so glad that you untangled the roadmap to good healthcare. I live in Virginia and was contemplating Costa Rica for many different reasons... the one showstopper was medical care, which I am always told is amazing, then I hear stories like this.

I appreciate you sharing your story and I am still thinking of that poor woman who dies across from you and your youtube video! Yikes!

You have my respect and much luck with your new doctors!

I lived in Southwest Virginia before I came to Costa Rica myself. The healthcare here is definitely better than the healthcare there in the forgotten corner of the state.

I wouldn't let my experience with Hospital San Carlos stop you from moving to Costa Rica. Just don't live in the San Carlos district, or if you do, have an address on your cedula from Tibas or somewhere near San Jose. Then you would have no worries. I would rate the care I got at Hospital Mexico up there with the finest care available in the world.

That is awesome. Im in the Washington DC Metro area, so healthcare is great most of the time. The politics- not so much.
