Emergency Medical Care for International Travelers
Dr. Miyamoto M.D., Internal Medicine
Let’s figure out your healthcare options, making your trip safer and more enjoyable
Being away from your usual medical facilities can be a concern for many travelers. I am type-1 diabetic, so the thought of my medical devices malfunctioning, forgetting that one piece that connects to the syringe, or running out of insulin scares the heck out of me while traveling.
Travel fatigue happens when you cram too much in the itinerary, and the body crashes until it gets its rests. Do you know where to go in case this happens? Do you know what medicine to take for certain symptoms?
It's important to have a back-up plan in case emergencies happen.
