It is knowing that something could have been done, but no action was taken and the now is greatly affected because of the failure of acting upon it. As the saying goes, \u201cI don\u2019t regret the things I\u2019ve done.

When she told her parents of her plans, her dad gave only one condition to be allowed to proceed with her plan \u2013 get travel medical insurance. Just to avoid any debates with her father, she decided to get travel medical insurance from a company suggested by her dad\u2019s friend. Malina didn\u2019t even bother reviewing her policy and just paid $50 for it. She even thought that $50 was so not worth the 2-week stay in Hanoi, that the amount could have just been added as pocket money.<\/p>\n<p>When Malina arrived in Hanoi one summer day, she joined an outdoor group tour immediately. Not knowing the dangers of staying outdoors in a warm, tropical country, Malina didn\u2019t see the importance of spraying insect repellent or applying anti-mosquito lotion. After a week of all fun and adventure, Malina woke up one early morning with fever, headache, and body pain. She thought it was just her body adjusting to the warm temperature and feeling tired of doing all sorts of activities. But after the second day of contracting fever, she still didn\u2019t feel well despite drinking her Dayquil and Nightquil. \u00a0She clearly has some virus that is worse than just regular flu. She called her dad for help and her dad immediately called his friend who referred the travel medical insurance company. After an hour, someone called Malina \u2013 it was the representative of the insurance company. She soon got instructions on where to go and who to look for. Yes, she was in a foreign country with a few English-speaking citizens yet she felt safe with the help of the insurance company. Her $50 policy fee gave her enough medical coverage to go to the best hospital in Hanoi. She had high-grade fever due to dengue, a virus carried by mosquitoes. Had she gone to the hospital a couple of days after, she would have had internal bleeding which could be lethal. Thank goodness, Malina\u2019s father insisted on his travel medical insurance otherwise Malina wouldn\u2019t have survived the virus and will not be part of the <u>real stories about the benefits of travel medical insurance<\/u> article.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Bus Accident in Cambodia<\/h3>\n<p>Joseph bought an overnight trip bus ticket from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He\u2019s a European backpacker who wanted to see the laid back life of Cambodia and to see the centuries old temples. His bus from Vietnam left at exactly midnight which should take him to Cambodia in less than 7 hours. He was on a sleeper bus, which allowed him to lie flat on a bunker type seat. After about a couple of hours of sleep, he was awakened by a loud crash which instantly caused him to lose unconsciousness. He woke up (he didn\u2019t know how long he was out) in a small clinic which a sharp pain coming from his right leg. He tried to move but the local nurse held him down the bed. He couldn\u2019t understand what they were saying and he started to panic. He didn\u2019t know where he was and he didn\u2019t know what happened and again he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he heard a man speaking in English. He asked for assistance from the man, told the man to search for his bag, and asked him to find his passport holder. A few hours after, Joseph was wheeled out of the clinic and was airlifted back to the biggest hospital in Ho Chi Minh. Joseph lost his right leg, but because he had travel medical insurance, he had enough coverage for medical evacuation and his life was spared.<\/p>\n<h3>Real Stories about the Benefits of Travel Medical Insurance \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/schengenvisaflightreservation.com\">Invest now<\/a>!<\/h3>\n<p>It is not a waste of funds.
