Our medical emergency coverage helps you be ready to tackle the unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, we don\u2019t take the time to do things we love because we\u2019re overwhelmed by our routine. Holidays are usually an excellent excuse to rekindle with activities we love. Whether we like it or not, these activities may represent a risk, so before leaving, make sure you have good coverage when it comes to medical emergency protection.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem far-fetched to think about the risks you are open to, but Mrs. L\u2019s story proves the relevance of purchasing travel insurance that suits your needs. <strong>As she was enjoying a bicycle ride with her husband, she got swarmed by bees.<\/strong> Mrs. L was rushed to the hospital. This unexpected incident ultimately forced her to be hospitalized and intubated. An artificial respirator helped her breathe. After a stay of five days at the hospital, she was stable enough to be brought back to Canada by helicopter.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter-1024x1024.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/dev.tourmed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Did-you-know_helicopter.jpg 1080w\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mrs. L\u2019s treatments quickly added up and lead to a <strong>claim costing more than US $165\u00a0000<\/strong>.
