-The Melaque Clinic is open 8 AM - 10 PM Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday, 8 AM - 7 PM.
(No Hospital in Melaque, the closest emergency hospital is in Cihuatlan and is open all night)
-Melaque Clinic Telephone number 315 355 5880. They don't always answer.
-I am not sure that they receive Scorpions to make antivenom and couldn't reach anyone for an answer.
However, one should take the scorpion body with you. It can help establish your treatment as kind, age, etc., are involved. The same person has been known to have differing reactions to stings from nothing to severe. Some people receive up to 3 antivenom injections.
-If bought from a supplier, antivenom costs about 900 pesos per unit. Dra. Martha charges about 3,000 pesos. I use to complain about the prices but no more after seeing the USA prices.
-Local LM Clinic telephone number is 315 351 5117. They are open mostly 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM and a doctor is not always there but the nurse is helpful. They don't always have the antivenom.
-If I got a bill for $83,000 USD, I would die, sting or not.
I would advise everyone to become acquainted with the Melaque Clinic location even though their service hours are not emergency ones. The services are good and the price is right. Everyone is welcome. Cruz
