Susan, that is a really scary story. My prayers go out to your friend. Thank heavens he has a chance of complete recovery.

Interesting comment from Serenity Seeker about using an AMEX card. It pays to check on these things.

When I travel I always take a file with all my medical records, copies of MRI's pertaining to a medical condition I have, etc. I also wear a medic alert bracelet.

I guess as we age, if we want to travel, this is a risk we are all taking.
A long and healthy life isn't promised to any of us. It is so easy to take good health for granted when you have it.
