Since I told our story about the cat burglar at Hotel Mar de Cortez in Cabo, I have heard of one other similar incident. Are there others? Cheryl bajaduck@bajaduck.com 
=================================

Amerimed Clinic - I cannot say enough good things about the help I received from Char in my recent trauma and surgery . In Cabo San Lucas at the Amerimed hospital, I received superb care, the surgeons and staff were skilled, friendly, caring, spoke English and they worked with me on the necessary paperwork for my insurance reimbursement. Their charges for services were very fair and reasonable. I was totally comfortable confident in my recent stay there. I would choose to go there again if I had any serious medical problems.
