We drove from Colorado beginning of Oct. to the Tecote border crossing, pulling a small trailer. Customs pulled us over and asked us to open the trailer. We were asked to unpack the trailer. It was chock full, with stuff in every crevice. We unpacked a 1/3 of the trailer. The customs officers rooted around in each bag. Then a handler with a sniffer dog came along sniffed inside the trailer, over every bag on the sidewalk, around and under the car! Then they left. We loaded up the trailer and were waved through.

ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.


a.  PROCEDURE: iPA is available at St. Lukes. Amerimed and the new hospital; all in San Jose.
CONTACTS: Dr. Mercado, gerontologist, at Amerimed; Dr. Luis Cardenas, orthopedic surgeon, at new hospital. (www.hmas.mx )
Here is a response from one who works in this procedure:
I am an almost retired clinical pharmacist who has prepared tPA a number of times. As you know there are a number of things that have to be done before the med can be administered. The biggest issue is determining the nature of the stroke: from a bleed or an ischemic event from a clot. Obviously, if it is the former than the drug cannot be used. Other issues are age, blood pressure (too high and the med cannot be given), recent surgery, and history in terms of stroke. Also the timing in relation to onset of symptoms: Up to 4.5 hrs. The medication is fabulously expensive, has to be reconstituted and dosed according to patient weight and then given intravenously in a series of a bolus followed by a drip. So even if a patient can get to a hospital in the time window there is a delay in terms of obtaining a history, vital signs and getting a weight along with various labs.

I visited the Activase web site and learned that there has been efforts to set up "telestroke" sites in Mexico where evaluation may be done remotely...in fact the hospital I worked at in Medford OR was connected to a stroke center in Portland so diagnosis and recommendations could be accomplished accurately and timely.

I wonder if the hospital in La Paz has such a link. I think it is a teaching hospital so I would begin an investigation there. Also the Activase web site may be able to link you with resources in Mexico.

Finally, if I came down with symptoms and were eligible, I would opt for the drug. However recent literature has cast some doubt on the safety and efficacy of the drug...especially when one month mortality after administration is considered.

It seems prudent to have extremely good medical insurance due to its expense. One respondent said that ICU full services were $10 to 11k/day for three days in St. Lukes. Forget it at my age.
It would be well to educate your acquaintances with stroke indications and have an emergency strategy available. Am inclined to believe that private transport would be more expedient than the local ambulances in this emergency.
"I know from my friend Catherine's stroke that is it helpful to have someone call Char, she alerts the ER, whichever one, St Luke's or Amerimed of the patient's arrival, presenting concern and condition.
The University of Chicago gives a good overview of the procedure:

b.  Phone scam alert!
I got a call today from someone pretending to be one of our neighbours coming down for an unscheduled visit and they were in La Paz. A few hours later he called back and said he had hit another guy’s car and needed money to pay him so the police wouldn’t be called. He said that he only had travellers checks and could I pay money into Oxxo so they could just finish with the guy and continue on down. A few things were off and I was suspicious although this guy knew both my cell and home numbers. I texted him and asked him what my Husband’s name was and how many pets did I have to prove it was really him. After that I received a couple more texts saying how hurt he was that I didn’t believe him after we had known each other for so long. I eventually called a friend in the States who told me that they had spoken to our neighbour just this morning and he was at home in the U.S. not here in Baja!
Please be wary of any calls you receive like this. The number called from is 55 914 24289 and the account number they wanted money paid into was BANAMEX 52041 650 0944 0391.
