If the ingested a bad food, you will have a better chance of expelling it. Always treat fevers. <br>I don't think I would carry my will. Instead I would leave it all with a trusted friend . If I needed it, in this day, I could get it from them. I do carry a med list.<br>Last, bring some extra money to the hospital. Most Asian countries do not provide bedside service. Either your family cares for your normal needs (including food) or you pay someone to do it. Strap it to your waist:)Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-80840418657382725992012-01-27T14:49:33.621-08:002012-01-27T14:49:33.621-08:00A very thorough post!

I did get sick in Barcelona but my son and his sweetie had gotten sick with the same bug about 12 hours before and managed to get some medication from a pharmacy which also worked for me. It is hard to prepare for everything but very good to think about and have some contingency plans.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.com
