For years, I had heard rumors of a place in Guadalajara called Salud Digna, where people of scarce economic means could get an eye examination and a good pair of glasses for a price they could actually afford and for years, I had wondered about the story behind it.
As I happened to need a new pair of glasses, I looked up the Salud Digna website and discovered that they offered a lot more than eye examinations. A test to determine my blood type would cost me only 55 pesos, and an X-ray of my elbow would run me no more than 180.
Jesus Vizcarra, on the left, is a pulmonary rehab patient and Diana Pardo, on the right, is an exercise physiologist at Enloe Medical Center.
He was under the care of Dr. Verma who later told him he believed Vizcarra was going to die.
“I felt so bad I also thought myself that I was going to die,” Vizcarra said.
After nearly a month of fighting for his life in the hospital, he was able to go home.
For Vizcarra, the nightmare did not end after defeating the virus as he continued to have difficulty breathing and exerting energy for any substantial amount of time.
