No money for medical treatment? Payment by Iguana accepted

Melaque Mexico, Vacations in MexicoAhh Mexico! I do think non-monetary payment for services is coming back into vogue in the Canada and the US. Here in Melaque, Mexico "trade" for services is very common.

As many of you know my wife, Rosa, is a doctor.  She was trained in Guadalajara and has a thriving practice here.

Dra. Rosa loves her work and those not able to pay are never turned away. Over 1000 free treatments are given every year. Half for the Mixtecas and the others for locals.

Periodically she is given gifts for her free work. It may be a bag of chilies, cucumbers, watermelon, labor in her garden, or in this case a sack of Iguanas. They were not for eating, but were put in the bushes to join the other iguana families. 

Come stay with us in El Palmar Beach and Tennis Resort, enjoy the sun and beach and heck maybe even get to help release some Iguanas!
