I am planning to get Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) treatments to deal with side effects of radiation oncology. I’m probably gonna do it in Tijuana ( or “TJ”)
I’m not interested in hearing stories about how dangerous TJ is. Those horror stories were already posted elsewhere.
The real horror story Americans endure is how the leeches and middlemen rip us off in the medical and Insurance fields. There is no valid reason why HBO treatments in Baja California are only 3% what they cost in Alta California. It is YOU (the taxpayer and insurance-buyer) who is getting soaked. That is more of a crime than whatever story you might retell about Mexico cops and gangs in TJ. Nobody knows how to explain how $192k in money goes missing when you buy the same thing north of the border. Blaming lawyers doesn’t explain it. I know lots of poor and broke lawyers.
Practically speaking, I can afford the TJ treatments. I can’t afford Hyperbaric Oxygen on the American side. I will have to stay a week or two.
While I’m down there I will be looking for a gym. Most of the TJ gyms I find on-line are the globo-gym type, with portly ladies on treadmills and zero squat racks. Does anyone have a gym in TJ that might be good for a Gringo to use for a week or two?
Also, does anyone have any good info on HBO effects on weightlifters?
