Accidents can happen anywhere, not only in remote locations. A U.S. member traveling in Portugal fell on the marble steps of her hotel in Esposende, injuring her right knee. She contacted Global Rescue medical operations and noted swelling and throbbing pain in the injured area. She was transported to a hospital where medical staff diagnosed her with a kneecap fracture. She was discharged with a prescription and medical devices to support her injury. Her treating physician did not recommend surgery, and she was cleared to travel home to Missouri. Global Rescue provided business class seating, wheelchair assistance and ground transport services.
