Poster: A snowHead
|
Friend of a colleague was out in Spain a few weekends ago, had a bizarre accident and snapped his knee ligament, he had no holiday insurance and did not have his European Health Insurance Card either, private hospital took him in for the night but wouldn't operate, charged him 1200 euros. Local hospital would not operate, airlines refused to fly him home, he ended up coming back in a meat delivery wagon, it took 3 days!
So, anyone going to Europe this year please, PLEASE go here:
EHIC Application page
I registered for all parties going on our trip in one go, all I needed was NI numbers, all of the cards arrived, even though some of us had EHIC's already they just issued duplicates AT NO CHARGE.

Standee, a salutory lesson, but even more important - get insurance!

Absolutely, no insurance is just a risk not worth taking.
