Apart from food business, many doctors are suffering as well. The ones most hit the hardest are the surgeons. Many surgeons who performed 12-15 surgeries a month now perform 2-3 if they are lucky. The wait for a doctor that I see at Centro Medico Bournigal in Puerto Plata is now much shorter than before. When I asked her about this, she told me that even many patients who have insurance aren't going to the doctor until in really bad shape because they can't afford the medicine they know the doctor will prescribe. Because most medicine is imported, it has gone up considerably in price, just like food, gasoline, and most else.

It really is a bad situation and seems that it will only get worse. Those posters in other threads that are eager for the peso to fall to 40 or more to 1 don't understand what this is doing to the country and its people.
