Is there anything worse than getting sick or injured on vacation? Technically, yes there is. But at the time, it doesn’t seem like it and these health care hassles can ruin a trip! A recent article from The Daily Herald tackles the tough topic of vacation illness and provides some good tips to avoid additional pain.
Do some research:
Where are you staying? Search online to find the nearest hospital or clinic. Will you have a car? Look up the quickest driving route to these locations. Does everyone have insurance? If you’re taking a big trip, and many travellers are uninsured, consider purchasing trip health insurance! . When you’re with a big group, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Pack smartly:
Bring updated and filled prescriptions. Don’t be shy with antacids, antihistamines, pain relievers, or your inhaler. They don’t take up much room in your suitcase, and may be a real trip-saver.
