Update on Ray’s mate

Ray from Melbourne pulled out of the bbq last night because a friend had an accident. Ray sms’d me just now, and said his friend was coming back from golf in Sanur and had a head-on collision.

Ray’s friend lost 4 pints of blood and was ‘on the brink’. He made it through and is on a plane back to Australia tonight. He spent plast night at Sanglah hospital in Denpasar. We wish him well and hope he makes a speedy recovery.

In that situatin your options are, visit a clinic, either SOS International or BIMC, both in the Kuta area, or go to Sanglah in Denpasar, if its life threatening. The 2 clinics are spendy, but good, although they can’t do major surgery.

For a European, or American, who is far away from home, and needs non-lifesaving surgery, you might consider jumping on a plane and going to Singapore. With the right travel insurance, you can literally choose where you have the surgery.
