Update on Richard Moore

Richard is out of the hospital and recovering.  We have secured temporary housing through the kindness of people in the community who have not only opened their hearts to us in this time of crisis, but their homes as well.

We would like to clear up some misinformation that had been posted about Hospital Chiriquí.  They did not, we repeat, did not refuse treatment unless we made a deposit.  Just like anyone else who is taken to the emergency room, Richard was treated and stabilized.  At that point, one is asked if one wants to be admitted to the Hospital Chiriquí or be transported to another hospital.  We chose to stay at Hospital Chiriquí and since it is a private hospital and because of the way our USA health insurance works, we had to put up a deposit.  We have had to do similar deposits in the past in Texas as well.

Richard and I would like to take this opportunity to express our extreme gratitude to the following persons:

  • The Bomberos for their prompt response in stabilizing Richard and getting him to the hospital. They showed concern and care for both our physical and emotional well-being.

  • The police for responding promptly and for their thorough investigation of the crime scene.  Their kindness and understanding was greatly appreciated.

  • The hospital staff at Hospital Chiriquí.  Their attentiveness, kindness, and yes, a little humor helped us get through the first few days.

  • Dr. H. Barria “Yako” for his knowledge and skills to put Richard back together again.  He is highly professional and has a sensitive bedside manner.  Dr. Barria had to leave for the States for a week or so shortly after Richard’s surgery.  He left Richard in the care of a colleague, Dr. Erick, but still managed to check on Richard 2x a week via cellphone; consulting with Dr. Erick and talking to Richard personally.  We have yet to meet a Dr. in Texas that does that.

  • And last but not least, we appreciate the kindness and support of our friends here in Panama and Texas as well.  Especially the young Rivera-Chan men, Frank, Roman, and Isaias.  They were the first responders, rendering first aide, love, and support both at the house and the hospital.

It will be a long road to recovery for the both of us.  We don’t know what the future will bring, but we are hanging in there and taking things day by day.

Regards

Barbara Moore
