Medical Care Outside the U.S. ?
I'm wondering how many of you have ever needed medical help when you were traveling outside the U.S.? So many of these great destinations are pretty remote in third world countries and accidents and illnesses do happen.
A few years ago I was at Isla Holbox and crushed the front of my tibia against some coral blocks and couldn't get back to civilization in Cancun. As it was, three days later, I got on our plane home and first stop was Kaiser ER in Roseville.
A few weeks ago I was fishing the delta with a couple of good friends. Came home that night and woke the next day with fever, chills, and menengitis. No notice at all. I'm still hooked up an IV for next few weeks. I asked the doc about what would have happened if I'd been in another part of the world when this happened and all she could say was that I might not be here.
Any words of confidence about visiting foreign hospitals?
