Health history differences between Mexico and the United States

The contrast between the health history of Mexico and the United States can be broken down by small issues such as identification card in the United States is very concise but in Mexico it should be long and well detailed to meet the patient; analyze the condition for which a patient attends the emergency is a priority for the United States, Mexico should analyze the patient completely to be sure that the disease that took him to the emergency room is not complicated; in pathological and non-pathological history equally in Mexico they are more extensive and detailed and the United States does not.

It seems to me much more complete medical history in Mexico, but quicker to develop the US, small features such as the physical examination, makes the difference that fortunately or not, in Latin America the clinic is better, while US based research is a priority forgetting the humanistic side of medicine.
