Emergency Contacts

Posted by Art Elliott on May 29, 2014, 5:32 pm

One of our upcoming guests at Casa Tortuga has made the following request:

"Please investigate and prepare for us an up-to-date list of whom to contact in case of medical emergencies of various sorts, first of all in La Manzanilla, but then in Melaque, Barra, Cihuatlan, or even Manzanillo, if there is no place closer to go for help? We discovered last year that the physician who normally has an office next to the school in La Manzanilla leaves town during school vacations, so we are worried, especially about our daughters & granddaughter."

I would appreciate any and all information. Maybe Daniel can incorporate it into the bulletin board to supplement the map that is already there.

gotten around to it .... yet.

Daniel,

You are the best and yes when you get around to it a map would be great.

"One last question from one of our guests: In case of a scorpion sting or snake bite during the time when the school clinic is closed, can Dra. Marta, the La Manz pharmacist, take care of immediate needs (suck out the poison etc.), or should one just head straight to Barra or Melaque (calling first to be sure someone is there)?"

Marta usually carries the anti-venom. I usually have some chlor-tripilon (antihistamine) and IMHO would suggest you take one of those immediately while someone goes to Marta for you.
