This was a life saver ~ Our testimonial on how Sky Med
worked with our doctors here in Mexico and New York.
Three
weeks ago the unthinkable happened to Dan my husband. It was like any other Thursday, we got up and
left to go to Guadalajara for a routine stress test at his cardiologist. We have been doing this for the past three
years since they placed two more stents in Dan, leaving all together 10. Like always before we go to the office we
make time to get breakfast. Enjoying
this time together and talking about everyday subjects we finished and began walking
over to the office so as to be on time.
We had to wait just a little while and then Dan’s name was called. Ready for the stress test, he walked and then walked very fast, everything seemed fine until he sat down in the chair near the doctor. He was ready to check his blood pressure until Dan stated he felt like he needed a drink of water. In a split of a second, Dan turned very pail and stated to go into confusions and then his eyes closed. The doctor started CPR and both the doctor and I yelled for him to cough and to open his eyes. While this was happening the doctor continued to do CPR. After a period of time which seemed like forever he started to cough and then his eyes opened.
The
doctor acted very fast, he called the Del Carmen Angeles hospital and within
seconds they wheeled Dan into the ER.
Thank God Dr. Salas was there to react fast and got him stabilized He
was then transferred to another hospital in Mexico where the doctors (Dr.
Hernandez our family doctor and Dr. Salas Dan’s cardiologist) and Sky Med
worked out plans for Dan to go to New York where our daughter lives. My husband has Medicare and by the looks of
things it looked really bad. So, since he has been paying on Sky Med the choice
was to go to the states if any open heart surgery was needed.
The
service was fabulous; I could not have had it any better. My daughter worked with them from the US side
and our doctors here in Mexico, which made it a pleasant flight. The crew were wonderful and the timing to get
to the hospital in Brooklyn was amazing.
I
have to thank my doctors, daughter, and Sky Med for the quick attention. I am glad that we chose to take out an
insurance to be flown back to the states.
I
recommend Sky Med highly; I rate them from the scale of 1 to 10 (10).
Coming
back to Mexico was just as organized as going.
They set us up on a commercial flight back and all is well.
The
results from all of this, Dan now has a chip placed in near his heart to
monitor the heart beats to see what went wrong.
