Thanks Steve, but I need a Psychiatrist - they can prescribe medicine.

Anyone know an English-speaking psychiatrist, preferably but not necessarily a woman in Barrio Norte?

Me (immigrant) and my citizen wife have been insured by Swiss Medical for more than 2 decades. (I don't think my being a foreigner ever mattered) We pay - I'm not sure - about U$S250/mo w/ copay. They're good, even now with the health care system experiencing very poor health. G'Luck

There goes the neighborhood to hell.

Yes, visions of 2001 when there was not enough cash in the system to cover bank deposits.

Good to hear, Rich. Was the DHL agent able arrange using your credit card for the $130 payment to the US? Or must that be taken care of before?

A thousand thanx, Rich. But even the most explicit instructions will fall on deaf ears. I'm 80, senile and computer ignorant. I just need to pay someone to do the tramite. If you know someone.... Also, I ain't got no phone. My email is: [email protected] Thanx again!

Yes, Frank, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
