Some days I am unable to lift my arms due to the pain. Others, they&#8217;re mostly normal. This week I have had the worse pain that I&#8217;ve had in those 15 years, so I reluctantly went to the doctor. I scheduled the appointment yesterday and had no wait when I arrived tonight. The doctor spent an hour with me, obtaining<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"> my history and conducting an examination. He then ordered xrays of both shoulders which I obtained in under 15 minutes and then he spent another 20 minutes reviewing the results, discussing next steps, and prescribing a list of medications. This has been my experience with every doctor that I&#8217;ve seen here. And the best part was that it cost me a measly 600 pesos (or roughly $48 dollars). This was the third orthopedist (and only one outside the US) I&#8217;ve seen in those 15 years and by far the best experience of all three.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s why I like Mexican healthcare: I have had bad shoulders for about 15 years now.
