Anyone in Rio de Janeiro?

I am a member of this blog because my sister has a cevenous angioma, but I am posting this for another matter.

My bf is currently in Rio and he fell down from a building a few days ago, suffered from two skull fractures, was unconscious for a few hours but he is awake now at a hospital in Rio. His family and I are trying to fly there soonest, but we all need visa and this will take a few days.

I am not sure if anymember of this blog is living in Rio and could help to suggest a hospital with good neurologists. We are also facing language problems etc…

Thank you all in advance for your kind help!

Did you get any help? I can speak Portuguese but I am in the USA now. If you talk to the consulate they can give you a visa in the same day. Brazil has great hospitals and Drs.

Also, if you guys go to Rio I can refer a great driver that speaks English and can help you with everything.

Thank you so much for offering to help. We managed to get to Rio, and will fly him back to the US on Monday.
