A 27-year-old U.S. member needed a medical evacuation from Chile to Chicago after injuring his left hand during a snowboarding accident in El Colorado. He received a consultation at a local clinic and was diagnosed with a fractured index finger on his left hand. He contacted Global Rescue medical operations personnel and concurred with local treating physicians to return to the U.S. for further consultation and treatment of his injury. Due to the need for further evaluation and possible surgery, Global Rescue operations arranged his transfer home, including ground and air transport. The member arrived home successfully and went to the hospital for his surgery.
