My comments regarding the level of sanitation practiced in Mexican medical facilities were based on my actually living in the country for three years. I participated in health care activities and am familiar with the usual level of care practiced. Obviously, when I had my dental work done, I checked the professionals and their offices out. Hepatitis, HIV, and Syphillis are not the usual culprits with which I chose to suffer at the hand of Montezuma <img src="images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

One reason why the medications are cheaper in Mexico is that they are often made in third world countries with less quality control than in the USA. In the event of an overseas illness, I have and would continue to take my chances. I would not be willing to do so just to save a few bucks.

Finally, many of the drugs sold in Mexico are not appropriate to use without professional guidance. Many are not available in the USA because they are not safe.

Ya pays yo' money and takes yo' chances!
