Today we were hoping that seeing this IESS doctor would get us a
definite appointment for Cristina's hernia surgery. Hoping.. being the
operative word.. So, after another consultation, and examination, and
confirmation of the ultrasound, she gives us an approval slip to take to
the IESS office downtown, telling us that surgery will be performed at a
private clinic, not the IESS hospital. This made Cristina happy.
Then we had really slow service at the IESS as it appeared
that they were having system problems, but we finally talked to the
appointments guy and he gives us a slip to take within the next 30 days
to Clinica La Paz near the 12 de Abril Mercado. Since this is on the
way home anyway, off we go....
I had never even heard of this clinic in my almost 5 years
here and, honestly, my first impressions are not very good. I have this horrible
feeling that because Cristina is only a "conyuge" on my account that we
are being sent to a second tier facility.
So we talk with the administration people at La Paz and
they make us an appointment to see another doctor, presumably a surgeon, on
Friday afternoon. Hopefully then we will get an actual surgery
appointment....
I had dragged my camera with me on this walkabout so I did
take a couple of shots for you which I have then run through 3 programs
to get the following results.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's
excitement, Cheers,
