what if you need medical care on the road? (Urgent surgery/biopsy abroad)
For the last 4 years we've been travelling full time in our self converted campervan all over Europe. Wild camping and parking up in beautiful locations from Scandinavia to the South of Spain, and it really is living freely, it's liberating not to be fixed to one place and have new adventures on you (sliding) door step every single day.
But one question we get a lot, and most peoples concern with living a nomadic life, off the grid is.. "But what do you do when you need a doctor?" "where do you go for medical help?" or (like us in this weeks video) "What if you need an operation, urgent biopsy and tests?"
Well finally, here in Portugals Algarve, we can finally show you just what its like navigating a medical issue whilst travelling!

I needed medical care while camping in the middle of nowhere in a different state. I got a moth stuck in my ear, had to sleep with it in my ear overnight and then had to drive 3 hours to the nearest hospital. Didn't have any wait to be seen by an ER doctor and I was the most popular patient that morning. I have no idea how much my medical insurance paid for getting that blasted bug out of my ear but I had to pay $500.00 for my share of the bill.

It's so important to get those moles checked. Good job on getting it taken care of asap. I learned that the hard way in the middle of the pandemic, I thought the docs would be too busy to deal with the little spot on my arm that had been there since I was a kid but was changing shape. I've got a 5 inch scar on my arm because of that genius decision.

Hi girls. Here’s my recent experience - I had an accident whilst in Spain this year, fracturing my shoulder and 50% torn a tendon - basically couldn’t move my arm. Went to a private Euro clinic in Benidorm and saw a (Dutch) doctor, had two X-rays and an ultrasound all within 2 hours. Had a follow up consultation and another two X-rays over the following fortnight (so we had to stay in the area) and was then told we could head off to finish our trip but to rest, keep my shoulder in a sling whilst walking and see my doctor when I got home. Back home in UK now, I saw my doctor on Monday and I’m still waiting for a referral to the fracture clinic….. Yes, we had to pay for all our treatment in Spain but it all came to about €350. The health system in Spain has been fabulous, as has our Insurance company who have already paid out for our claim. Glad Emily had similar quick treatment and hope the biopsy comes back all clear. Lorra love and best wishes Rachael. xx

I broke my leg in Germany, no problem, nice German doctor plastered me up and I claimed most of the cost back from insurance. I can't stress enough that you need insurance and make sure that it covers the activities you are doing, like skiing or scuba etc. The NHS is wonderful if you have a minor ailment or are seriously ill: they fixed my heart attack problem really quickly!, But you can languish on a waiting list for a long time for treatment that is not life threatening. BUT my advice is: don't get ill in the USA, it's expensive! I hope that biopsy is negative. Get well soon Emily.

Emily, I’m so glad you were able to get such quick attention for the mole. I’ll say a prayer for you for a good outcome on the biopsy. Had you been in the US, my home, that process would have probably taken you every bit of 6 weeks or longer and been much more expensive. I’d guess $5000 US dollars or maybe around 4000 pounds. Plus, you would probably had to have seen a minimum of 2 doctors, maybe 3. It’s nuts. I’ve waited over 4 months before to get into a specialist. Anyway, glad that’s mostly over for you. Big congrats on 100k. I’m surprised it’s not more. You’re my favorite couple on you tube and the videos I most look forward to. Save travels back to Ireland. Can’t wait to see what you get up to with your new home!

I'm from New Zealand and got sick (twice!) in Croatia. First time in Plitvice Lakes which was a bit of a drama. Because we were so remote, the ambulance wouldn't come. My husband called our insurance company and our options were to have me airlifted or pay a private driver. Air lift wasn't feasible as we had our two girls with us (8 and 10) at that time and the chopper could not take us all. By this stage I had gone into shock and was vomiting non-stop so not ideal to go on my own in that state and not speaking Croatian. We ended up with a private driver (not sure who organised that). I was driven about 40minutes to a private clinic but they said I was too complex and had to go to the hospital. The driver was amazing, by the time we arrived at the hospital, our girls were asleep in the back of his van and he pretty much looked after them while my husband was with me. Fast forward about five days I got sick again in Dubrovnik. Ambulance again and to the next hospital. I then needed a follow up with a specialist (we were in Split by then). The whole system in Croatia was also great, super friendly staff who spoke good English when I was able to speak for myself. My hospital notes were in Croatian but a manager organised for them to be translated to English for us so we had two copies depending on where we were. Health care was also very cheap. It ended up costing about NZ$3,000 all up so we just paid upfront and claimed on our insurance when we got home (you can get prior approval from our insurance company so they pay the hospital upfront to a certain amount depending on your policy and then you pay the rest). Glad you had a straight forward experience too. I've not long found your channel and currently binge watching to catch up so not sure how the leg turned out yet . . . . but really enjoying your vlogs.

I had a suspected heart attack on Kos. I nearly had another 4 in the 150kmh dash to the hospital sharing an ambulance with a young lad who had stepped on a tennis ball and had hit foot at right angles to where it was supposed to be. The driver didn't slow down for hairpin bends on cliff roads. The hospital looked like it had not been decorated since the 1950s but the care was second to none. It was pre Brexit so my wife just waved the EU health card at them while I was taken for tests. I was kept in overnight and my wife asked the person who we thought was the cardiologist about getting a taxi to the other side of the island back to our hotel and he pointed to one of the empty beds on the ward and said that she could use that. When I was thanking everyone the next morning before we left, it turned out that the cardiologist was, in fact, the hospital porter and he was doing all of the talking because he spoke the best English. When I saw my own consultant when we arrived home, he was amazed at the number and qualify of the tests that they had performed.

It was "in situ" meaning it was contained so when the margins are clear, it's gone and no further treatment was required just regular skin checks. There are many treatments these days so no matter what the outcome all will be ok. Take care, wishing you all the best and here for questions if you want to know anything.

My mom had a Stage 4 melanoma, which was scary as f*ck; but she got it removed & treated quickly, & lived 45 more years. Because of that family history, every time a freckle gets out of hand, I've had to have it removed for a biopsy. It's been maybe half a dozen times, all benign so far 🤞. I'm American, & all of this has taken place in the US; & my & my mom's health care experience has been no more or less f*cked up than the US health care system is in general. The best thing for you to do, for now, is to operate on the assumption that the biopsy will come back benign. It probably will. 😃

Luckily someone could check if my van was safe those days I was admitted. Never again I thought. So one month later I was in urgencias again,🙃. But perfect healthcare, 10/10, would not do it again though. I'm planning on going to the UK in an month or so, but my health keeps getting me drawn to hospitals. I'm still going, this time at least I can understand the language and explain what's going on. Wishing Emily a speedy recovery!

Glad you’ve had it removed and you’re doing well. I had a skin cancer removed {SCC} last year while travelling full time solo in my van in Australia. First doc misdiagnosed it as acne! But 3 weeks later it was still growing/changing on the daily. By that time i was a further 1000km up the road, found another GP who straight away said it’s coming off and i had it removed 4 days later. Same as Emily, couldn’t walk much. Mine was on the back of my upper leg. But being solo I still had to drive myself to appointments and shop for food etc but I stayed put in a caravan park until I was given the all clear to move on. Since then I’ve had skin mapping done so that i can see any GP and they can see any changes in spots, well worth doing in my opinion. Take care both of you xx

Bravo to Emily for getting the mole off quickly and courageously and for only taking four hours to remove the dressing! :) Hope the biopsy is negative, and congrats on 100,000!

Buy a Limbo , like a fancy plastic bag for your leg. Has a seal so you can shower etc. They were designed for broken limbs. We use them in community nursing all the time x

When I lived in Spain in 2008/9 My stepdaughter started having stomach pains. We took her to the GP who did a quick examination of her then said she would need to go to the local hospital for xrays. We thought she would have to wait a week or two for the appointment, but were told to go later that day. Off we went and checked in ( using a bar coded medical card. After a short wait she went in for the x-ray. On completion we were told to go back to the GP for the results. Again we thought it was going to be a few weeks, but we were told to go back in a couple of hours. We got to see the GP later and discussed the results with him. All in one day which in my books is excellent.

In the right countries, hospital care abroad is often better than the UK. My Mum was taken ill in Tenerife a couple of years back and the speed and the care were amazing. You can't even get an appointment with a real human being here in the NHS in the UK unless you pay to go private.

Oh dear! I had that done! They called me it was cancer so I had to go back. Honestly, I was worried over nothing. They numbed me up, got everything all sterile and cut a 4x4 chunk out of my thigh. ( while I talked a mile a minute) They have a way to check the edges to see if they are all clean. Stitches and off you go. When I got my results it was all clear. But I have little ones all over my legs. I was a sunshine girl!!!!! You did great! PS the numbing will wear off. Take care.
