OK I am not being pessimistic here but I cannot tell you how many vacations my H and i have been on where one or the other has been sick --I wound up in the emergency room on at least 3 occasions while on vacation and I have had kidney stones which can appear out of no where...no warning and I need an ER right away when that happens,
Knowing all this causes me to plan plan plan as much as I can so I see all the docs before I go, take all meds with me and extra prescriptions (though not sure how helpful they will be in another country)
I plan to call my health insurance before I go to find out what they will or will not cover,,,
What I want to know is .. had anyone ever had to go to the doc or ER while in any of the countries mentioned and if so did you have to pay alot --what was the experience like --is there anything else I should be doing. Rick Steves gives a lot of good advice but I am a bit nervous renting someplace say for example in the middle of a little town in Tuscany where who knows how far the nearest ER is and I don't speak the language.
My H and I are not that old but I guess as we are getting a bit older I think of these things...we are both active and in good health..but just covering my bases here... I have also had about 10 root canals and they just come on all of a sudden as well...not sure where I would find an endodontist in Sienna
