Hospital San Antonio del Lago de Chapala

 One morning, my father was ill and unconscious. We called an ambulance, and the Cruz Roja ambulance said that we had only two options of hospitals to take him to. One option was San Antonio , and the other was RMC.  However, we wanted to take him to Guadalajara. On the surface, this hospital looks excellent. However, it became apparent that they were not equipped to help my dad. Only one doctor was available, and few nurses. In the afternoon, after hours of seeing that my dad was not improving. We asked them to please transfer him to Guadalajara to another hospital that could provide more services for my dad.  They said yes; however, we began to notice that they were only worried about charging, there was no urgency to transfer my dad, and the bills kept climbing. We thought the ambulance would be there shortly and tried to pay all the charges, and they kept coming. At one point, it seemed comical to them, "Oh my, here is one more." The ambulance that showed up was given...

  Hospital San Antonio  is the worst ever hospital I came across till now. I doubt if the doctors there have genuine or fake degrees.  My Sister in law was admitted cause she had a stone pain. I literally heard the senior doctor asking the junior doctor who was examining my brother " will you pass and clear your exams this time in Spanish". I speak enough Spanish because I am married to a Mexican. Then they thought I was a dumb Gringo so they tried to charge our family for services and exams that they never did.  Fortunately my wife resolved this in Spanish. I was dumbstruck by this. The moment they realise the person is insured they'll make a huge bill and will charge you like anything. No professionalism at all. Cleaners smoking in patient's washroom. Lazy and slow.    Doctors literally don't have any knowledge playing with people's life . I would never suggest this hospital to anyone.

      Hospital San Antonio Del Lago De Chapala the worst hospital in Mexico Lake Chapala , it is dirty and expensive giving the impression that it is the best, they resterilize the surgical staples and the materials that enter the operating rooms as a rule whether they are used or not used should be discarded, which they do not do, they return it to the warehouse (imagine how contaminated these materials must be), in addition that the personal data of the patients is visible to anyone because the system they use to train staff is an exact copy of the real database of the system in which employees access all that information, besides that the system is super vulnerable and care is not taken with that information, they treat employees badly, which I do not recommend to anyone who wants to work in that place, because the staff only give one mask per week and when covid patients are admitted to the nursing staff they are denied personal protective equipment that is to say th...
