We called the paramedics and I accompanied her to the hospital where she was seen by an admitting nurse within minutes of arriving. After a short wait a physician examined her and declared her "good to go, no need to cancel her trip". We went to the billing department to settle the bill - $100 cash! That included the ambulance, intake in the emergency room and the doctors evaluation. We were back at the resort by 11 AM.
Lessons learned:
- Be sure you have some light when you get up to use the bathroom in an unfamiliar room. Leave the bathroom light on with the door slightly ajar, turn your bedside light on, or use your cell phone light. J
- When you have an emergency Canadian healthcare is quick, excellent and inexpensive!
