Medical assistance in a foreign country Nowadays we travel a lot. Of course we try to be cautious, but sometimes accidents happen. Sometimes even temporary indisposition or a sudden onset of some more serious disease may make us seeking a doctor's advice. Did it happen to you? Can you share your story? What are your experiences with foreign Health Care? 1. How did you find the health service you needed? Have you called the emergency service (like the 112 number)? Or maybe you called your insurance agency hotline? Or asked local people? 2. Have you been insured? Was your national insurance accepted (because of some international regulations, like between EU countries)? Have you bought a private insurance in your country or in your travel destination? Did it cover the type of service you demanded? 3. Did you have to pay in cash or card in place? Or has the insurance agency arranged everything for you? Or maybe it refunded your expenses later? 4. Have you experienced any other problems? Was the language communication with the foreign staff easy? The discussion available at: https://www.italki.com/discussion/170324
