Hola,
Mi hermana que es colombiana vive en Deerfield beach en la Florida y ha estado muy enferma, cada vez está peor, al punto que ya no puede llevar una vida normal, tiene dolores en todo el cuerpo, no duerme bien además que tiene invertido el ciclo de sueño, tiene depresión, sufrió una infección en las encías y perdió sus dientes, en los primeros días de septiembre viajaré a visitarla para apoyarla en lo posible con el tratamiento de sus dientes pero me preocupa mucho su estado de salud, toma muchas pastillas para los dolores y para dormir, se la pasa cansada y sin ánimos de nada. Su esposo es estadounidense pero perdió su trabajo y no puede apoyarla en todo lo que necesita ya que tiene como está, casi todo lo gasta en las pastillas que me preocupa demasiado. Quisiera saber si hay algún doctor que pudiera verla mientras estoy allá porque ella ha visto a muchos médicos pero sólo le mandan pastillas que pueden aliviar temporalmente sus dolencias y en lo que puedo percibir, hacen que necesite más pastillas cada vez, pero no veo que sane ni siquiera un poquito, lleva ya años en esa situación, por favor si tienen alguna recomendación sobre un doctor que pueda verla por favor escribirme al correo para yo llevarla indicándome cómo sacar la cita, su costo y fechas disponibles o con quien me puedo comunicar para ver si es posible tener un diagnóstico y un tratamiento que pueda hacer que vuelva a ser la persona activa, trabajadora y feliz que alguna vez fue. En realidad estoy desesperada y preocupada por mi hermana y agradezco cualquier información que pueda recibir.
Por favor llame a nuestra oficina para ver de que forma la pueden guiar.
Gracias por su visita y esperamos su hermana se mejore pronto.
