How To Deal With First Aid on a Trip
The last thing you want to contend with is an accident that could land a member of the family in the Emergency room. I thought that I had it all figured out, but I never thought of this…
“If you do get sick, phone home. The delightful doctor you see in this photo is my most trusted physician. More than once on vacation, I’ve called Dr. Clara Chung for advice. On one trip for my other column, “Food Finds,” I awoke with a jet-black tongue, as if I’d licked coal. Panicked, I called Dr. Chung, who figured the culprit was the pink, over-the-counter stomach medicine, swilled the night before after an awful meal. Dr. Chung’s advice helped me avoid an unnecessary trip to the hospital. That’s why I rank a strong relationship with your local doctor as my top tip for wellness on the road. Good luck out there.”
But her great advice doesn’t end there. She has a checklist that I’m going to be copying down. I missed one or two items on that list!
