Just found out that my 72 year-old friend broke her hip! [View all]

She was visiting Mexico and is in a Mexico city hospital.
which is not reassuring.
Much as the US health system is flawed, for a broken bone, it is where I would wish to be.

Anyone here ever have a broken hip?
I don't know what happened. still trying to get details from her boyfriend, and find out how I can - if I can - speak to her.

She is healthy, I know that will aid her recovery, and I hope her immune system is strong to resist hospital-borne antibiotic-resistant infections.
