Peace, Todd & Cher
Thanks Todd kind a answers the question about ambulance service in Negril.Good read means be careful on your vacation.
One of the many things that tourists can learn on this very informative board, has to be this subject.
Accidents will happen no matter what, but be extra careful, with Negril being sometimes ill equipped
for many emergencies.
I found myself having more cautious behavior this past trip than last year.
Didn't jump the lighthouse at Negril Escape, like I did last time.
Took plenty of time crossing every street, and staying a little closer to shore with my swimming,
especially after having a few !! Hey, when I go fishing in Ontario in the summer, we get
dropped off on an island for days,with no chance of rapid rescue. You just have to be as careful
and cautious as you can, and still have a great time!
We saw that scene live during our most recent trip. The tipped over ambulance.
Travelers also can look into emergency medical evacuation as part of travel insurance. ( also Repatriation insurance) As i get older, i need to consider these "what ifs"
I always get travelers insurance.Never used to but the older I get it's a must.Cheap and would want to be Med-vac to the states for anything serious.
Good article!
I carry a pretty well thought out first aid kit (including supplies to bandage/tourniquet serious wounds and stabilize broken limbs) so I have a better chance at getting to MoBay hospital alive. I leave it with a local after each trip. I keep medical evacuation insurance. I tend to not do activities that I consider high-risk; cliff jumping, zip-lining, drunken wandering, etc. My biggest hazard so far has been those uneven stairs and the tiny random steps (like a 1/2 inch) they throw in to what could be an otherwise level surface! On the Rocks has one that gets me every time!
Goldilocks, you had me till you brought up '' drunken wandering'' lol.!
We have been talking about this for the last few trips...Any suggestions on where to obtain med-vac insurance?? If something were to happen, do you have a choice in going to Sav or Mobay ?? Thanks! Don
