Thanks for good ideas!
We’re taking food & TLC for two friends today who have flu like symptoms.  Another friend waiting for bed availability to be admitted to David hospital.

Let’s keep helping each other.

I will  soon have a cataract removed. I had consultations with two doctors, Dr. Young at Mae Lewis and Dr. Petroncelli at Chiriqui Hospital. I liked them both, but I decided to go with Dr. Young. The following reason had a big impact in deciding on Dr. Young over Dr. Petroncelli:

Before a cataract removal at Hospital Chiriqui, the anesthesiologist requires all sort of blood tests, an EKG, chest X-ray, etc. Get real! I previously had a cataract removed (in Panama City at Patilla Hospital) and none of that nonsense was even mentioned. Same at Mae Lewis. Chiriqui Hospital is now just all about money. I hope to never step foot in that place again!

Re the orthopedists on the list, I had knee surgery by one listed who speaks excellent English. He's an incompetent, arrogant butcher. After $6,000, he made my knees much worse than they were before the surgery. I won't post his name publicly but contact me privately if you want to know.

Dottie, how does one contact you privately?

My husband had cataracts in both eyes removed by Dra Mitzi Arias at Hosp Chiriqui.  She was professional and thorough and took good care of us.  We recommend her !!
