Medical Travel 101

Even though you may be coordinating a trip to include both vacation time and surgical procedures, it's a wise person who thinks ahead.

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Do the vacation part of your trip first.

2. Consider purchasing your ticket (at least the return leg) in first or business class accomodations. You'll have more room to move around in your seat, and more personal attention from the flight attendants if a problem arises.

3. At the airport, ask for priority seating. Also ask for a ride to the gate if walking a distance is not comfortable for you.

World Medical Resources (WMR) took its first business trip to Monterrey, Mexico last week. From time to time, we will chronicle travel that we take so that we might share experiences that we believe could benefit the medical traveler.

We should begin by saying that the medical community in Monterrey, Mexico was very welcoming to us and we were quite impressed with the facilities we visited.
