EKG/ECG

Where to get one Lakeside? Thanks.

the machine at cruz roja was sent out for repairs. see if it's back now. 450 pesos i believe

whoops! just called and they got it back but still not working. looks like they might need to buy a new one, so donations may be in order post haste,
in the meantime,garcia at maskaras clinic in riberas has one and i think it costs 500 pesos

Don't go to Maskaras Clinic. I thought I should have an EKG as a basepoint, had one there, dubious equipment and sanitation (looks like a 1970's copy machine, all yellowed and flyspecked), took to my new General Doctor at Integrity Clinic, she said it was so bad she could not read it. A Cardiologist from Guadalajara came, $600 pesos for an examination by him, and (??) $200 for the EKG on state of the art equipment. Approved for my exercise program.

Cruz Roja EKG update: We just received FB message from Dr. Sam, and the EKG machine should be delivered to us in Casa Grande, Az., by Friday. Cruz Roja should be back in EKG heaven late next week.   Exact date is in the hands of Vicam Blockade.

Thanks and travel safely!!!

If you need one immediately the Ajijic Clinic has one and if you get there before 2pm the doctor/owner of the clinic does it. Last time I had it done about 6 months ago it was 200 pesos I believe. First rate machine.

Cruz Roja EKG arrived today.....finally. Dr. Sam will be back in EKG BIZ next week.   

This thread was really timely! I know someone with MS who lives on just $400 a month and has to have an EKG asap. We were searching for one she could afford. Thanks everyone!

Thank you, Jim. Safe travels.
 

You don't need to pay more than 200 pesos for an EKG here. Any more regardless of machine is a rip off

I think it was Maskaras. I will have to ask my wife. We have a 15 min appt in a couple of hours. The thing is that you don't need a Doctor's report with the EKG. Your own GP will read it when you take it back to him. Why pay for the reading 2x.

some bright light said the maskaras unit is covered with fly doodoo-SNORK!

Cruz Roja charged my buddy 200 pesos in Feb., this year. Like many he matched the charge with the donation.

take it up with chillin,not me. i dint say it. i suggested it be used fer a reading

In today's pvmirror.com there is an excellent article written by a cardiologist, about preparing to consult a cardiologist. There is only one stand alone school of cardiology in Mexico, I think it is a four year program. The interpretation and treatment is as important as the equipment.

CHAPALA MED WILL HAVE it's own BRAND NEW EKG aka Electrocardiogram by the end of the month. (August 2013)

Chapala Med is proud to announce that as of Sept. 23, 2013 that it will have as part of it's services and diagnostic tools a FULLY FUNCTIONAL COMPUTER-BASED EKG as is used in most hospitals. It's exactly like the one pictured below.

good to know. how much including diagnostic info to the patient?

$300 pesos I think that is a competitive price for a brand new computerized EKG.

only 50p more than most but reasonable considering the up to date equipment. who will analyse it?-gracias.
