    I was unfortunate in Zim last year and fell while leopard hunting severely crushing a shoulder. I used Global Rescue to arrange flights to get me home for surgery in an emergency. I first tried changing my flights with no success. Global Rescue ended up buying one way tickets on another airline to get us back. I was very happy with the way their control center handled everything. I will not hunt overseas again without buying their insurance.

    Luckily, I have never had to use a med evac service but I recommend Global Rescue as well. I believe they are top-notch as they have very quick response teams and access to medically equipped helicopters, jets and commercial aircraft and they will return you to the hospital of your choice. For more info go to: Global Rescue

    Perfect - I hope you don't need the services but at least you have the "peace of mind" now!
