I am increasingly of the mind that medical people in the US are losing the trust of their patients, because of the dilution of their Hippocratic oath.

The solution to this is not to seek the redemption of American medical personnel, but to subcontract to medical people who are not ethically tainted. In this case, in Mexico.

Mexican health care is not terrible if you have some money. Much less money than you need in the US. Add to this that they still have a culture of respect for the elderly, and they generally reject the culture of death.

Despite any reservations we might have about quality or technology of care, the bottom line is extraordinary: the best physician in the world is no good if he wants to kill you.

Even a mediocre doctor who wants to save life is better than a good one who has rationalized away the preservation of life. If you see a cross on the wall of a clinic, you are safer than if you do not.
