Jan 21st, 2014 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As Mr. A_Voice implied in another thread....... Every second of those “Servicing Extended ´Hands” will, most probably, be billed to Mr. Ardiles & Co. extended Travel Insurance.
maybe in a Latnam country would the wounded be charged for hospital and rescue services, but don't forget, the Falklands are part of the civilized world, and part of the EU

Tink- Medical Travel Insurance is common sense! Tourists arriving here are expected to have a min cover for US$250,000 that inclused aero-med evacuation for obvious reasons! Bloody idiots if they dont!
Jan 22nd, 2014 - 02:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Are you going to tell me that if I travel anywhere in S.America and get injured or ill - I get reated for free in good hospitals etc?!!!!!
No of coure I would not - that is why I would take out a suitable Medical Ins Policy - I need one in UK as well - I dont pay tax there so am not entitled to walk into a hospital there for free either.
Anyway Mr Ardiles is likley to back in Argentina very soon as he and the ESPN person with a neck injury are likley to be medivaced out by air in next 24hrs to Santiago or Buenos Aires for CT Scan checks that we do not have here - a costly bit of kit that no community of 3-4000 can afford or justify on it own - so we regularily send patients to where they are - much cheaper.

If it was meant ironically then fair enough, if not then it makes you look very odd.
