    When Traveling, Pack Your Painkillers!

    There was an article in the New York Times recently about a couple away on a lovely vacation in Indonesia and the husband accidentally fractures his ankle. Not so lovely. Their cell phones turn out to be the most reliable tool they have. They make the decision not to have surgery in a foreign country and then have to figure out how to get him... Read moreChevron
