Health concerns can come up while traveling, and our worst fears can take over. My experience in a German hospital was eye-opening.
In Athens, we sought medical attention immediately upon arriving at the hotel. For those curious, Greek doctors will happily make house calls to your hotel if you’re feeling unwell (mine cost €120) and mobile IV services are also available for about the same cost to rehydrate. We requested the doctor bring an IV but this was lost in translation. He provided some prescriptions to treat the symptoms and make me more comfortable but advised I should follow up with my primary care physician upon my return.
After a tough couple of days in an Athens hotel, we left for Munich, our final stop. We had shopped for flights home from Athens either just for myself or with my family but there were virtually no reasonable route options with availability in the height of the summer travel season. After this much time (now nine days) certainly I would have to be at the end of this dilemma.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
