Hospitalized in a foreign country

Robert on General, Life, Health

I am usually a carefree person not threatened easily, less a gun on my head. But that's not true it seems. I feel like I have been living for the last 1000 years. Hospitalized 2 days after landing. I feel scared and lonely.
Worse that I didn't meet my family members b4 departing coz of tight schedules. It's hard but I can get through this.
Have you ever been hospitalized in a foreign country or a place not close to family members and friends? How did you cope with the unpleasant thoughts and loneliness

I almost did some years ago whilst in Italy. They wanted to do an operation on me but I was very concerned that there would be a language barrier issue, and it was not the right time to be guessing about the conversations.

I was fortunate enough to have insurance and I got flown back to England in style, had a lovely chauffeur driven car waiting to take me straight to a London hospital.

Always get full insurance when traveling abroad, even if it is for a short stay because you never know what may happen.

I've been hospitalized twice in Hong Kong, but I regard Hong Kong as home after living here for almost 40 years. However, I was also hospitalized while working in Holland in 1969 after a potentially fatal car accident:

Thank you Amrya and Hodgson for your wishes. I have recovered though not fully. It was hard but managed. Thank you.
