Home Prominent columnists THE IMSS, HOPELESS. A personal testimony of the IMSS.-the opinion of the Father José Luis Segura Barragán
Six months ago my mom had a very serious health crisis and was taken to the IMSS, as successor who regularly paid official dues.
He spent more than a day in a hell of pain and heartbreak. The waiting room was crowded with sick people, all complaining, some in stretchers and others on the floor.
The problem to attend them was that there were not enough unoccupied beds in the hospital area. I was there for many hours accompanying my mother and I thought it was hell.
The nurses only gave painkillers and put on sera and that was a complaining of general pain; They were like fifty sick and sick people who were retained and mourned in that small space.
I reclaimed one of the nurses that there was hell, of pain, weeping and helplessness.
At the end they discharged my mom and charged us for the services that were supposedly already paid for the annual fees that were paid. From buying the meds, I’d better shut up. They give what they want and say, “If you want, you buy them.” What if I don’t have what?
And I wondered, if that’s how they treated the affiliates, how atenderían the truly helpless?
Today, I think, things will get worse with this new government.
Too bad.
