Most Filipinos do not have an inkling as to what Medevac really is. For the past 7 months, I have been working for an aircraft company called Airgurus... the only provider of professional Medevac / Air Ambulance services. I have been actively sharing other people's experiences in the internet as I have witnessed the unfolding dramas of medical evacuations as I am, myself, part of the Medevac team. However, it was only till yesterday that I got a full grip of why we Filipinos really need it the most.
Being a single parent of a 7 years old kid, I was considering of having my son undergo medical evacuation although it wasn't how I perceived my son would have for his first heli or private plane experience. We were so fortunate though, that we didn't have to go through it as treatment was given first hand and is on his way to recovery.
Medical evacuation is the process of retrieving an ailing person and transport him to facilities where proper medical care is available whether it be land-based or airborne. Airborne medical evacuations occur many times each day, all over the world. We call it "medevac" for short and someday, you just might need it too.
The medevac experts say that the odds are one only in 10,000 that you will become sick or injured and that you will need special transportation towards home or at least to a modern fully equipped hospital. When it happens though, the financial burden can be as catastrophic as the health crisis that precipitated it especially that us Filipinos, do not have medevac coverage in our life and health insurance in the country.
It is sad. When you get sick in the provinces and be needing a medevac to a hospital in Manila, expect that you would be spending at about US$10,000. The price gets higher as the location goes further away from Manila. If medical specialists or exotic equipment (say a neonatal team or a balloon pump for cardiac patients) are required, the price even goes higher.
In our country, medevac operations use dedicated private aircraft (fixed wings or a helicopter) as commercial flights do not allow this. In extreme conditions, helicopter or specially arranged flights may be required and the cost of this transport can be really devastating. Reasonable examples include ocean rescue, mountain rescue and remote rescue. We can't prevent illness but if something happens to us, we have the solution in the Philippines... Airgurus' SkyAid.
SkyAid is not an insurance plan. It's a membership plan of Airgurus Ltd. Co. that provides Medical Evacuation (Medevac) when your medical condition requires immediate transportation from the place where you are injured or sick to the nearest hospital where you can receive the medical treatment you need. Capt. Harry Lero of Airgurus thought about this, knowing the dilemma of each Filipino in the country when it comes to medevac... as it is very expensive indeed.
I am telling you, my dear readers... based on my own experience, that it wise for us to enroll ourselves and our loved ones on SkyAid. Obtaining medical treatment and hospital care alone can be already expensive and medical evacuations can be as catastrophic as the health crisis before it.
Please read more details on SkyAid at the Airgurus website www.airgurus.ph.
SkyAid can save your life... or life's savings.
God bless us all in the Philippines and God bless SkyAid!
Today, doctors found crater-like sores of about 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch in diameter in the lining of my stomach which meant I need to modify my lifestyle.
For the past 15 years, I have been smoking cigarettes. I've drinking alcohol as well for the same years and I must admit, they have been more than moderate because of the lifestyle I have chosen for myself where stress comes along with it all. Although I tried to make sure I am physically fit by getting into sports and do healthy activities, the constant smoking and drinking of alcohol throughout the years finally sent me a billing statement with excruciation pain that it sent me writhing and cringing for days!
Yes.... I have ulcers and finally, it's time for me to end my affair with sticks (cigarettes) and those phallic-shaped objects (beers, wine, alcohol). I know it's not gonna be easy. I will be tempted to do so once in awhile but if I think about the medicine prescribed to me (that costs about 2 venti Frappucinos from Starbucks a pill) that I had to take 4 times a day for 2 weeks just to help me treat my ulcers, I have to really quit on them.
It's sad to let go of things that were my mouth's constant companion but, as I feel the gnawing or burning pain in my abdomen specifically between the breastbone and my navel, I have to bid them adieu for the good times and the bad times they have been with me. I have let them rule over my dying intellectual braincells for years. I still have a few left which are all now rejoicing... throwing their micro hands up in the air screaming, "Yay! The mistress will finally let us rule the world!"
As my braincells rejoice and perhaps all my other body parts, I weep. It's hard to say goodbye but its better now before my affair with my sticks and bottles makes me suffer all the more.
