Anchored in La Cruz - Medical Matters at the Marriott for bad hip - 2014

Middle of February 2014 -Anchored in La Cruz Anchorage in Banderas Bay Mexico

We bumped into Pamela Thompson who we have called to get 

medical appointments through AMERIMED.

We went to a Medical Conference at the Marriott Hotel in Puerto Vallarta.

We picked up a nice small pour-through thermos among other goodies that they usually have at conferences :)

There was also blazing WiFi free and free coffee and cookies and cake etc.

We downloaded about six movies while there!

This is Dr Marron. 

He works at AMERIMED.

(AMERIMED is the hospital network located at the main tourist destinations of Mexico, and the first organization specializing in medical tourism in the country.)

He gave us the quote for stem cell treatment of my hip of:

 5000 pesos or about $3700 USD for the stem cell implant.

Then about $150.00 USD every 6 months for three years or possibly only two years for follow up shots.

This has an 80 percent chance of working at my current condition.

I am a 2.5% from 1-4 in state of condition.

We are still thinking and weighing the options.

After doing this we decided why not go back to the Marriott Hotel in Puerto Vallarta to the coffee shop and get the same WiFi. So we did and that is where we are now. We had to run an errand to Vallarta UnderSea but that is another post. Anyway the WiFi this time is just as good. With free parking and a we could like doing some computing here instead of a coffee shop.
