Reply #3: IN mexico you also have to take into account the fact

that for many people, still today, you only go see a doctor if you are REALLY sick

They are not unlike Shamans

We are facing that with one of the ladies that works at home with my parents... she needs to have gall bladder removed, and has an eight month old kid

She'll get the surgery (my parents are paying for it) but my mother cannot force her to take baby to the pediatrician... never mind baby is covered under the health care plan

Trust me, I used to hit my head against the wall as a medic... and now tried to do the intervention to convince her to take baby to doctor
