Do you have an emergency medical plan? I didn't.

Don Juane,

I am fortunate to have a full coverage medical plan which is offered by the Unversidad de Guanajuato to its full-time employees, current and retired.

I'm glad that you survived your emergency; you would have been okay here, too. In Guananjato city, I can recommend the facilities at the Centro Medico de la Presa, where I have been for two emergencies (broken foot and kneecap) and three surgeries (deviated septum, hysterectomy, and knee surgery). I received excellent care and saw no need to go to a hospital elsewhere. I have heard that if it's an emergency they can't handle at CMP, an ambulance will take you to Leon.

I believe others pay out of pocket or have Seguro Popular; they can explain what their plan covers or you can look into it yourself.

Right now we're all alive. This dreary weather is perfect for going to the movies. This week there are Mexican films in Teatro Cervantes, European films in the UG's CineClub (next week will be Swedish films), and they're all free. Looking forward to OSUG's concert this Friday, too.
