Be Preparded

The best advice is the advice that is taken

Traveling or living outside of the United States can be exciting an
fulfilling. That is until the day that for a medical reason you
need to return to the United States. We are not talking about the
situations that require emergency evacuation but rather those
situations where traveling by yourself is just a viable option.
Be prepared is the best strategy obviously but what does that mean.
The answers are usually obvious but often not followed.
*Make sure your passport or Visa is current.
*Have all your important documents such as insurance, passport,
marriage & birth records are in one place and easily
accessible. If these items are kept in a safe deposit box and you
need them during a weekend expect delays.
*Have family members that are in the US have current passports in
case they need to make an emergency trip to where you are.
*Keep your address and phone number current with the
Embassy/Consulate.
*Keep an adequate supply of your medications on hand.
And, of course, if you do need help have our phone number on hand
if you need an emergency nurse escort service.
