Thanks Natalie , Do you have the Poly Clinic emer. Number?
I'll edit the plan.

The Hyperbaric Chamber has two defibs one has a bad batt. Dont know about the others status. One was donated and it seems to be a good mobile one but its Batt. died years back.
best place for a good defib is on the Coastal exp boat.

The Polyclinic phone numbers in the phone book 226-2555 and 226-2536 are just business hours only numbers and not good for off hours emergencies .

There is no emergency number for out of hours treatment for the Polyclinic. They post the doctors on call and their numbers (usually Dr Otto Rodriquez 604 7599 and Dr Zuniga 610 4606)in the San Pedro Sun. I think several dive shops have an AED. I know Jodie and Scott Harnish from Palapa Bar have one.

Both Sueno del Mar and Tranquility Bay have defib's if you are up north. I can't speak to the battery charge of Sueno's but ours is relatively new! :-) We should have a list of all of the resort/shops that have defibs up and down the coast!

Carlos

Resort, Dive Shops or other locations with AED machines

Tranquility Bay Resort
Sueno Del Mar
Costa Maya
Solaria
Palapa Bar
Hyperbaric Chamber
South Neighborhood watch substation

P.S. as we update this list we should keep it in directional order North to South.

Cheers,
Carlos

This is great info.
I'll incorporate it in the plan.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Dr. Lerida Rodriguez prefers that if you are bringing "patients" by boat that you bring them to the yacht club dock. She has a room set aside as a medical emergency room.

Hi Elbert,
We have a defib at Solaria
You obviously know where we are but for others - we're sandwiched between Las Terrazas and Journey's End, 3.5 miles north

I have been working on mapping AEDs onthe island, but then Island ferry sold out. I have been trying to find out what happened to the all the equipment I have brought down for ACER over the years, but not getting much luck.

I know that Sueno's SED is about two (going on 3 now) years old.

If anyone would like to help get ACER back on its feet, please let me know.
