Hi, I am Pam from the Pam and Jon duo.
I just want to instill in all of you who do not take out Travel Insurance when you go away that you should.
Two weeks ago I woke up one morning felt a gurgling in my chest (did not feel ill) went to clear my throat and coughed up blood, lots of it constantly.
We went straight to the emergency dept at Chatellarault and was seen straight away after producing my EHIC card and travel ins docs.
To cut a long story short, I was transfered the next morning to Poitiers Hospital for a Broncospocy (camera into my lungs). However, in the worry or urgency I had left the documentation of the travel insurance with my husband at Chatellarault. The hospital at Poitiers would not put the camera down my into my lungs until they had seen the travel insurance documents. Once they received by fax the proof that I was insured they proceeded.
I was in hospital for 7 days and treated very well.
The moral of the story is TAKE TRAVEL INSURANCE. It made a big difference to both myself and my husband.
