If you are in a third world country or area that may not have medical care on par of that in the United States; you may be in trouble if you are not able to make it back to the US for treatment. It may also be cripplingly expensive to get a medical evacuation flight. It may not even be possible.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With a lesser injury many foreign countries make you pay upfront for any procedures. This is often not considered and can be a huge roadblock to medical care. For example in the below article a golfer lost many of his fingers after being bitten by a crocodile &#8211; and he and his three friends had to split up 17.5K on their credit cards to get him treatment. The following article also shows the resort&#8217;s response to the lawsuit:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/1776261-golfer-sues-after-crocodile-bites-fingers-resort-going-with-chicken-defense?utm_source=cnn.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=editorial&amp;hpt=hp_t3\">Golfer Croc Bite<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On your next vacation purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/delandgibson.com\/dg-services\/specialty-insurance\/travel-insurance\/\">Travel Guard, travel insurance<\/a>.
