Thanks cobra,AlterEgo,but according to my mother,its a military hospital,so they only allow their own in,but she's still gonna call to be sure.Thanks all for your compassionate thoughts.I'm not saying that my uncle was a stand up member of the P.N. but believe it or not,there is actually good cops in the DR,that are honest and are everyday on the grind,putting their lives in danger for others,for a diminutive salary.When you drive by and see one of those guy in the moto,while you sleeping,that guy is working,while you have weekends and holidays off,he's working,but most of all,that guy,might be one of the few good ones left in DR,so don't look at all of them with same eye please.It's hard not to with the latest array of news.

That says it for me. The fact of 20 yrs. on the force and still on patrol demonstrates his caring and unwillingness to be part of a corrupt, always on the take cop. He is probably one of the few you go by and feel respect for. You can sense it.
Indeed this is very sad!!! I was of the impression that cops with serious injurys automatically were taken to Plaza de Salud. There is some type of default thing about Conteras. My wife had good ins. and woke the next afternoon after an accident in a hallway in Conteras. Shameful yes, understandable for the DR ,yes. But a cop!!! Similar story. After they were told my wife had ins. with Humano, the docs at Conteras recommended Clinica Integral II. After paying for ambulance transport there, They told her they couldn't help her. I was here in the states. Had her brothers arrange another transport to Plaza de Salud. At PS she was told the necessary op could not be done there and wheeled her over to CEDIMAT. After the op and afew days intensive care the RD250,000 ins. limit with Humano was shot!!! In retrospect, I believe once the dollars started rolling in she became a hostage at PS and all the time in the bed made things worse. It turned into a long harrowing and VERY EXPENSIVE ordeal. After this experience I reccomend this: if you have the finances, have him transported to Clinica Abreu (it's on the internet). They deal with the US Consulate, have a very good reputation, and will be more straight forward and far easier to arrange payments. Transport should be about RD7000. We are talking leg and ankle wounds, not head and neck stuff (totally bogus for him not to be moved). If you don't have the finances try the public hospital Martin (sp. or name is similar). My wife felt she got great service and great docs. there. Best of all to your UNC and family.
