would you have heart bypass surgery in jamaica?

[Seveen]

one of my facebook friends had a heart attack in jamaica while on their on extended vacation - 6 months

he is recuperating in the mobay hospital

i recommended that he get stateside as soon as possible

and today i was told not to keep up the "diatribe" of go home as fast as you can - - a few other folks are recommending the same thing - go home

now he is considering possibly having bypass surgery there - not confirmed yet but it seems there inclination is not to leave the county

i would be on the first thing smoking but hey maybe everything will be alright

would you have bypass surgery in jamaica if you could have it done in the usa or canada?

NO NO NO GET BACK TO STATESIDE ASAP!!!!

I have had nothing but BAD EXPERIANCES with Mobay, sav, and Kingston public hospitals. If you don't visit them everyday and tip thier nurse they are just lest there to suffer. JMHO

Bypass is not such a complex surgery anymore.
It is done so often with very satisfactory results.

Not All heart attacks are the same.

There is a possibility That there is some information not divulged That may be a danger of injury unless he travel by air ambulance.
The problem in Jamaica is not the surgery.
But the availability of enough facillities to do the amount of bypass.

What guarantee would you have That the rest wind die on your way home?
And What facillities are on the aircraft This deal with a person with only s part of their heart working?
Jamaica has bee. Doing open heart surgery Since i was a teen.

I would trust the Jamaican surgeons over the flight attendants in such a case any day

Re: would you have heart bypass surgery in jamaica?

thank you all - my friend was released from the hospital today and is authorized to fly home

and he is going to the states for the next stage of his heart care . . .

i think several days in the hospital helped him understand that the procedures and processes are not quite the same as in the states
