    Im diabetic, I go south of the border to buy my meds also. Heres an example of the price difference between the Costco in Tijuana Mx, and USA Costco. The med is Metformina/Sitagliptina 500mg/50mg and the same brand, box, and labeling "Janumet" name brand. California Costco price with PRESCRIPTION, $165.00. Mexican Costco, NO PRESCRIPTION, $60.00 USA dollars for 60 supply. Go figure....

    I also go south of the border for all my dental, medical visits and medications. It a no brainer. I have gotten root canels complete procedure in one day. make the appt and arrive first am and leave late pm, $275.00. You pay extra for same day service, $25.00 due to lab work making your crown.
    Someone mentioned about cleanliness at these offices, If you have not been there, dont comment on it. Every office I visited whether it was medical or dental, they where top notch. They have strict guidelines they have to follow.
    Also, someone mention about the cartels. The war are among the cartels alone, and only them not the public. Mine your own business and do your business(dental, medical) and leave. I don't go to clubs there, bars etc....I do go shopping while Im waiting for my crown to be made. And I only frequent the places I visit regularly, eating, shopping, fast food etc....And I always bring back two bottles of the finest Tequila

    Friend of mine was diagnosed with prostrate cancer and told he needed surgery that would leave him impotent. He went to Mexico and received High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment at a Mexican hospital. No cancer now and he's not impotent; just as good as new. He said the Mexican hospital was the cleanest medical facility he's ever seen and the staff was very nice and professional.

    I understand that Mexican truck drivers are also cheap and drive trucks just as good as the Americans can, if not better. I can vouch for them because I see them in my neck of the woods all the time. I wouldn't blame shippers if they decided to start using Mexican drivers instead of Americans in order to save money.
    Life is so full of irony isn't it?

    Are you going to have the tooth pulled, or repaired? I was at Brasil, IN. x23,,parked at the Petro with an infected tooth the day before Thanksgiving, 4 years ago. The girls in the restaurant told me of a local Dentist, Dr. Dennany. He is the only one that was open that day, and he charged me $92 total. Gave me a shot, then pulled it. I called a couple of others and they said it would be $240+,,,but can''t get in today, duhh..
    His office was busy, and I just called them and they said 'come on in,,,he'll help you". It was the ONLY place open the day before Thankgiving, as I said,,,and it was packed. Only took 1 hr or so. I parked at Petro, dropped trl, and bobtailed up there and found off street parking. Not too far from St. Louis.
