Toritrue Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I just read in the May 17-23 issue the letter to the editor regarding the resignation of Dr. Sam Thelin from Cruz Roja. While it is true that Lakeside residents will benefit from his expanded hours for his personal practice, no one bothered to note where his office is, or how to contact him. Anyone know? There was a great article he wrote about Scorpions in the same issue, I sure learned a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Does anyone know who is going to replace Dr. Sam at Cruz Roja? Has someone already been phased in ... or are we left without a doctor for emergencies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes, it opened for me. I did have to use a separate tab. But no big deal Pedro, El Ruco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behnwau Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 He wasn't the only doctor at Cruz Roja. He was the medical director and I would suspect the other doctors are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 There are still doctors at Cruz Roja, and one of the many excellent things Dr Sam did was stress hiring of physicians with at least some English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevalerieleigh Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Saw a very young, charming, competent Dr. Reyes today to facilitate my chest x-ray, interpret the results and prescribe medication. Maybe took 30 minutes total and cost me $400 pesos! A deal anywhere! Thrilled with Dr. Reyes, his consultation, his diagnosis and his recommendations. While young (26, I think) by U.S. standards, he seemed very capable and competent and spoke excellent English. Didn't need it as my Spanish is pretty good but it's always nice to confirm, LOL! Sorry I never met Dr. Sam but the Cruz Roja in Chapala looks like it's in very capable hands. Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
