The piece however that is missing is that the program in Germany is temporarily on hold. They are talking about restarting, but so far that has not happened. I've had the coma twice and the second time, I was the last person to be put into a coma before the shut down the program. As for Dr. K, he is the one to go through to get the treatment in Monterrey, Mexico. Dr. Cantu is the doctor in charge in Mexico. I don't know about Dr. K b/c I've never seen him, but Dr. S has about a three to four year waiting list for appointments and a two year waiting list for the coma. As far as costs, you need at least $30,000-40,000 expendable money and then you need another $10,000-15,000 in credit. I'm not sure on the exact costs of Mexico. The first time I went, we spent $80,000 but that was b/c I got staff infection pneumonia and was in a coma for 3 weeks, so we were there for a month and a half. As for the second time, I was in and out of the hospital in less that two weeks and I arrived home only three weeks after I had left and it cost us $60,000. If you need any further info, feel free to let me know.
