    Yeah, imagine being a parent and your kid is in a foreign land has a medical emergency but you don’t know what it is and whether your kid is going to live or what.

    I certainly can imagine myself calling an ambulance. But maybe it’s my “socialist” mind thinking here…

      I recently had severe food poisoning in Cambodia, like, really really bad, followed by a severe stomach infection. I just went to a doctor. Ambulance is for when you’re not able to go to a doctor/hospital yourself and/or you need immediate care. I don’t consider food poisoning in that category, but I wasn’t there so I don’t know what the condition of the kid was.
